- I have no training as a nutritionist. But SOMEBODY has to figure out what this family is going to eat. In the absence of anyone better qualified, I'm the family's nutritionist. We like to fresh, tasty, healthy meals. It's my job to figure out how.

I've been on Dr. Barnard's program since January. The decision between the two was easy for me: both may work equally well for diabetes, but Dr. Barnard's program also works against other diseases like cancer and heart disease while I've seen a lot of evidence that a high-fat diet is a risk factor for those and other illnesses. What's the point in victory over my diabetes if, in the process, I'm exposing myself to all kinds of other health risks?
How do you like the food? It seems a little ... austere?
I adore the food. Chili, salads, fresh fruit, burritos, quinoa stuffed peppers, pancakes with agave nectar (tastes like honey but lower glycemic), pad thai, curries galore. The list goes on and on. It's much better than the flavorless stuff I was eating before.
But I do understand that it's not everyone's cup of tea.
That's interesting. I saw a fanatic cook (http://fanaticcook.blogspot.com) become a lot less fanatic about food, and more fanatic about food issues.
What's your favorite food from Barnard's diet?
