Hmmm...time for change?

Reflection time..ok maybe a little venting as well.  I am facing some health issues.   High cholesterol,  overweight....and the list goes on.  But ya know?  So are many people.  I need to address these issues immediately...however I am finding this is easier said than done. 

I have been reading How Not To Die by Dr. Greger.  I also have been spending time on pinterest searching for ideas on what to eat.  So far, I feel better but no weight is going anywhere.  I know I have a long way to go.  Dr Greger promotes a plant based lifestyle.   One without white flour, processed food, added sugar or oil.  Lots of plant based foods, whole proteins  and raw foods. 

What frustrates me the most is that my doctor wrote on my test results that had to join a certain diet group and lose weight immediately.   I don't feel that lifestyle is best for my health, and it's expensive.  Why does everyone thing there is only one way?  Why are doctors still "prescribing" lifestyles that are full of animal proteins and medications?  Our ancestors didn't eat meat on a daily basis.  They didn't have the preservatives we have now.  They definitely didn't have medications.  

I feel that alot more research needs to be done on my part and on the part of the medical profession.  I also need to get moving more, but that is a whole different topic.  And so the search continues. 

Stay tuned for more to come!
