Because my appetite has turned ravenous, and I'm eating way more than one serving at a time. I'm really worried that I'm getting too many calories from eating too much food. And why do some of these recipes have oil in them, because I had the impression that using oil was not allowed?

I'd just focus on the stuff that will fill you up with fewer calories - fruits & veg - and make sure you're taking your time with eating. I'm the queen of overstuffing when I'm in a hurry. I believe the overall approach to oil is "limited." In other words, a couple of teaspoons here and there are OK, but you don't want to be dumping it on everything all the time. www

The key is to eat until you're full, then stop. The difference is that you'll be eating the right foods with a vegan diet. You'll find that you'll be really satisfied. As for the oil, I only use olive oil, and it's sparingly. I was surprised that you can saute with water, but it works just as well. Sometimes, however, I want things browned, like onions, so I use a bit of oil. Don't worry about too much about the calories. I know it sounds crazy, but you'll see results. Paul www

There are only a few things I would like to use olive oil in, and just a drop would work for me. at first reading of the book, I thought there was no way I could undertake such drastic changes. But it's a matter of better health, so it has to be done!

But it's a matter of better health, so it has to be done! I wrote about this on the diabetic vegan forum, but I too didn't think there was any way I would make the changes. I loved meat and dairy too much. But, by making the switch, which wasn't easy, btw, I lost 65 pounds and all my numbers are now in the normal range. I know that can't happen for everyone, but it did for me, just like Dr. Barnard said it would. I've been able to keep the weight off for over a year, and my numbers just keep getting better I don't think I've ever get back to eating meat. www
