Sharing years of experience with a plant based lifestyle.
Dr. John McDougall has announced his retirement on his website. Here is his announcement. Although I do not follow all of his recommendations, I admire Dr. McDougall for dedicating over 50 years of his life to spreading the word about the benefits of adopting a whole food, plant based lifestyle.

I do not use maple syrup, stevia or sugar to sweeten my dishes. I do use dates because they have intact fiber and a lower glycemic load than other sweeteners.
The Date Lady sent me this 20% offer to share with you guys.
I do not use all of her products (like date sugar). I only use the ones which comply with my Whole Food, Plant Based lifestyle.
So, if you would like to order the Date Syrup or the Dates, click on the link below and…

I have most definitely seen benefits to my health since adopting a Whole Food, Plant Based, with no added sugar, oil or salt diet in 2012. Don’t Be Green With Envy…
These frozen meals are in no way meant to be a substitute for a compliant, home cooked meal. Compared to the Standard American Diet, these meals may help those who are interested in transitioning to this lifestyle. As with any prepared food, individuals should read the nutrition facts label and determine if the ingredients, including sodium content, is acceptable for their health conditions, doctor recommendations and lifestyle.
I had the privilege of speaking with Jason Boyer, Director of Culinary Innovation at PlantPure. It was exciting to speak with the developer of the recipes! I had the opportunity to discuss delicious ways to substitute salt. He did not know about one of the ingredients which Rick and I use Conquer Cravings: Salty Things and said he would like to try it at home!
Jason recommended the following for those who are looking for lower sodium entrees:
The following items are 260 mg sodium per serving or less:
These are 300 mg of sodium or less per serving:
Jason said that this discount code only applies to their pre-packaged box of pre-selected entrees.
He said that if you would like to Order Ala Carte at PlantPure, you can save 27% off if you become a PlantPure member ($10/monthly membership), and you can cancel your membership at any time.

“It’s only a little bit.”, “It’s my birthday.”, “It’s a family gathering.”, “I am traveling.”. This list of excuses are endless.
I am whole food, plant based, sugar, oil and salt free 100% every day. My goal is to avoid all forms of cancer, dementia and other undesirable health related outcomes. Just because symptoms of diseases are not felt, does not mean they are not in our bodies. Smoking just one cigarette once in a while will probably not get me to be a habitual smoker. Drinking alcohol once in a while may not turn me into an alcoholic. At my optimal weight, eating non compliant food like chocolate Conquer Cravings: Chocolate, sweets The Cravings Beasty – Sweets, salt Conquer Cravings: Salty Things, cheese Conquer Cravings: Cheese , ice cream Conquer Cravings: Ice Cream once in a while will not make me overweight.
Adopting this lifestyle does not guarantee that I will not get cancer, dementia, etc. I choose not to play Russian Roulette with my body. I have committed myself to educating people about how to achieve optimal health. I feel that I am so fortunate to have stumbled upon this lifestyle.
My body had many years of exposure to the standard American diet. I may never reverse all of the damage from what I thought was a healthy diet of previous years. An unwanted medical diagnosis would never be guilt free for me if I chose to cheat once in a while. Cheat meals cheat you. Having occasional cheat meals will never feel as good as healthy does. “The body will not forget what the brain wants to neglect.”

My husband Rick and I formed a Whole Food, Plant Based group in May 2016. We are now leaders of two groups in different locations, meeting a total of three times a month.
We mostly have demonstrations and Plant Luck dinners. Occasionally, we will meet at a local restaurant after carefully planning with the owner to serve a compliant menu to our group. Find a Restaurant – Eat Vegan, No Oil Food
We began these groups via the Meetup application Meet Others: Socialize with like minded people so you don’t lose your mind. We added our group to the PlantPure Communities Pod network when it began in late 2017 Meet Like Minded People: The Free, Pod Program.
As Pod leaders in the PlantPure Communities network, we volunteered to be mentors of new Pod leaders. When we establish initial connections with these mentees, we give them access to this blog and our BeGreenWithAmyYouTube so that they can have access to helpful information.
Recently, one of our mentees, Ptery, emailed to say that she tried the Cheese Sauce Recipe. She was so happy about how it turned out that she shared her photo.
The joy of finding good health in a happy body is wonderful. It is even more rewarding and wonderful when loved ones and friends find their way to good health. Be Green With Amy and Family
Now, as group leaders and mentors, Rick and I celebrate each time we positively influence another person’s life.
I hope this blog gives you joy, hope, inspiration and information.

We recently began feeding our 15 year old dog Pickles vegan food. Our veterinarian has noticed a significant difference in our dog’s health.
Her internal lymphomas have decreased in size and her numerous external lymphomas are turning black and falling off! If you look at the pictures you’ll see a mark between her eyes and a black growth on her neck. There used to be a red growth between her eyes which turned black and fell off. The red one on her neck has turned black and shrunk.
After losing 5 pounds, Pickles is finally down to an acceptable weight. Another benefit is that she no longer honks and hacks after running around. Her energy level has increased and she is once again enjoying running and playing fetch.
We have been feeding her home made food but if I did not have enough time to cook, I would definitely consider trying V-Dog.
