diabetes and spiritual food changes.

I don't know. What kind of food/eating changes does this involve? I guess there are several considerations here. The practical would be how your food choices affect your blood sugar and that is well-known.

Alrighty! Please let us know how this plays out then, ok? I'm interested in what this is about!

This is so interesting! My DH's mother and stepdad were Buddhist;they have both passed on, we had to make sure both had proper Buddhist funeals. In cleaning out their house, I came across a small library of books on the subject, which I read with great interest. I would have thought all Buddhists would be strictly vegetarian since they do not believe in violence, no killing of any sentient being and no use of animal products(meat,daily, eggs, leather, etc) But yet it seems to depend upon the sect what the diet will be, at least according to our Buddhist minister. Please let us know how it goes.

p.s. The only thing I can advise, I would be careful of sugar substitutes using Swerve; I don't think alchlol is allowed, plus it caused horrible gastrointestinal problems for me personally:-(

Good luck and keep us updated, HT. Rufous, why would eggs not be allowed if they are only produced by hens? Of course, I'm talking about unfertilized eggs. It's like drinking milk from a cow. In neither case are the animals harmed.

Thank you for the explanation, Rufous. Have a good weekend.

I hope you're doing well. It's interesting to hear how you feel it is helping you, mind and body wise! Good luck.

I think that is a healthy choice. Lots of articles around about red meat not being that good for us as a steady diet, as well as processed meat. In our house we're also eating less red meat. Sometimes I don't eat any meat at all a couple of days a week just because I don't have a taste for it. I eat more vegetables and greens and have been eating more nuts and seeds, too. Maybe I should change my name to Bunny. The Happy Bunny.

I love bunnies.
