Hey Fam from East Texas! I agree with you Don…the Doc was out of Line to push Veganism on you. And EVERYTHING you stated that you was wanting to hear as “validation” from the Doc….is what you should be doing. Fresh fruits and veggies as possible, with lean meats. Reduce white sugar and processed foods. Rest. Stress reduction and moderate exercise. You have this 😊 Much love to you guys ❤
You guys are so blessed. The high rise I live in, 55+, the halls, and office have a generator. We dont. None of the Apts here have back up for black outs. We've had several since I moved here. Thanks for sharing. God bless.🤗🤗🤗
The pizza looked good even for a vegan. I would just eliminate or substitute the meat. And speaking as a person whose meals are plant based, I totally agree with you Don in regards to your and Pegi's doctor visit. Everything you said was correct about what the doctor should have said to you both. There are benefits to the plant based diet but it shouldn't be shoved in your face. Also, just because someone is vegan doesn't make them healthier than someone who is not. If a doctor isn't aligned with what you want or make you feel uncomfortable, get another one. I enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.
It sucks when you wait forever to get an appointment only for it to not workout and have to start the process over next year when you need another physical. I've finally found a PCP I'm comfortable with.
Hey guys I’ve recently discovered Trader Joe’s myself. Don your Dr visit summary was hilarious but true. I already fired one and about to fire another one. In my opinion some try to fix the problem with a Prescription without actually treating the problem. I’m seriously thinking about a Wholistic doctor. Pegi that pizza looks delicious.
That doctor better crack open the Bible. God made all things good to eat. The sad thing about all these extreme diets is most people were not raised on that. I've seen some people so extreme they alienate people who eat differently than they do. At 71 I remember so many CRAZY diet fads. I know I have no self-control when I comes to desserts, especially cheesecake, so I just don't buy it. I've looked at some of these plant based things and some have more salt than the real thing. Excerpt: A typical beef patty contains about 80 mg of sodium, whereas plant-based burgers land at around ~370 mg.
Peggie girlfriend, I made your salmon recipe and it was a hit with my family. I never had spinach before and I gobbled that ish up with my sweet potato 😂😂😂. Get a new doctor that fit you. I have fired a few before I got one who was a good fit for me. ❤
The type of onion used 🧅 depends on what you're cooking such as : Homemade onion rings vs the onion used on a burger raw onion or sautéed. I agree no one should ever force their way or lifestyle on you. They can suggest , then leave it up to the individual. Take Care, thank you both for sharing..GOD BLESS 🌴🧡
I agree that Trader Joes back in the day was high. Now it is mid to low range in terms of price. Yes I think the fresh fruit and vegetables seem to last longer and taste better. Thank you for the reminder to prep for winter and disaster. We had crazy floods last week in Southern California.
I agree with being healthy but the doctor should have been talking blood types. You eat according to your blood type not the latest trending fad. In this case vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, etc…ijs
Pegi I believe you guys could do it-I didn’t learn how to properly swim until I was 32! It was an adult Red Cross class. One of the best things ‘I ever did. Once you learn it’s like riding a bike in that you will never forget.
Family if u r watching best believe . It will help u so much 💓 just think back when covid hit unexpectedly. No food no toilet paper or anything else. Be careful about what you need for unexpectedly times 😊😊 stock up now 👍🏽👍🏽
No problem. Veganism is not for everyone. However, you cannot dispute the benefits and the facts. The alternative is to continue as you have been and take medication.
Don and Pegi listen Doctor will tell you to come vegan but some people coming different away and that who we are use to but yes you can cut back on the red meat salt intake eat more vegetables and fruit drink lots of water daily if you having high blood pressure I am not saying you do drink Hibiscus tea one cup daily drink lemon water through out the daily ginger tea one cup day apple cinnamon tea on day Apple cider do this daily your blood pressure will be good cholesterols will good walk as much you can the most important thing is sleep try this for a month also garlic intake yes Pegi I love the sweet onions but use the red onions I drink the lemon water before bed every night
Here is the thing about doctors. Unless they are in solo private practice, meaning not working for a larger medical group. They are following the group guidelines NOT what their own education and research has taught them. There is already too much documentation showing that people who eat nothing but plants are not healthy. Oh they may look healthy, be slim - but internally, they are messed up and won't tell you that. The best diet is something like Keto where there is no more carbs and sugar. Better than that is Carnivore - just meat, meat, eggs and some dairy - oh and endless bacon! I have lost 50 pounds in a little over a year, lowered blood sugar and blood pressure (to Dr happy levels) and am still losing weight. It isn't easy - no fried foods, no taters or cookies or cake, or sandwiches or even salad or fruit. But the results are what is important. Do not cut out red meat, have steak every day - man was not born as a vegie eater - we are meat eaters! Oh and its OK to cheat every now and then, just be good the next day and week!
Oh my when you mentioned putting the pizza on the wire rack, that reminded me of the time I did that (per the directions) and the fire truck was at my house in 3 minutes!! Never did that again. 😂. No bread in 5 weeks😮. I wish I could give up bread but….I could never give up my weekend cinnamon French toast! Yum 😋
