5/5/12...FORKS OVER KNIVES=Bill's New ...LIFE!

FORKS OVER KNIVES a documentary you can see on NETFLEX=worth the effort..better than a doctor's visit.  It involves two doctors, one from the Cleveland Clinic and the other a professor doctor from Cornell. The outcome is a Plant Based Life Style...if you want to get to the next square before OPEN HEART SURGERY  and after OPEN HEART SURGERY. It includes fruits, veggies and grains..NO SALT, SUGAR or WHITE FLOUR..and do not forget no MEAT or FISH and ..YES! EIGHT GLASSES OF WATER A DAY. Bill has resigned himself to this and is doing well with it.  On the other hand, the rehab center has to be monitored by me.  What does that mean? I have gone over this with the dietitian..and he has a framework..he must work in..so I have to send pulled pork sandwiches and tator tots back to the kitchen..and then out come the vegetables. You must check everything!  That includes his weight two times a day, because after surgery of OPEN HEART you can retain water of as much as fifteen pounds, which Bill did, so you cut and balance your food intake!  Simple? NO! A new learning experience that has no substitute. I am lucky..I love grainy cereal and fruit with soy milk and can eat it for all my meals daily, never getting bored! Bill used to laugh...what do they say about that? Now .....it's your turn! Bill I love you ...you are doing GREAT! Hugs..phyllis  www.women70andover.com
