Been vegetarian 20 years, high carb low fat vegan since June of 2012. Since turning vegan, I've become a fan of Durianrider's videos on youtube which in turn brought my attention to 30 Bananas a Day.

I watched it alone, then I sat down with him to watch it and he fell asleep. When I say he's not motivated to make changes I'm not exaggerating. He's perfectly content taking a handful of prescriptions a day along with 2 types of insulin (and his blood sugar levels are still out of control).
The only other thing I can think of is to succeed at this and hope it inspires him. If not, I still have to do what's best for me and my children. I'm excited about this!
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it :)
Hi Gianni,
Thank you for your comments. I'm happy to say that I'm familiar with Dr. Barnard and I've already ordered his book, it should be here next week :) That being said, I can read all I want but unfortunately I can't stop him from putting the food into his mouth :( I'm not sure how else to motivate him when coming close to death isn't enough for him to make changes. The dr said if the blockage was a couple inches higher it would have been the "widow maker". He got a stent put in over the summer so it's open again, for now.
Thanks again :)
Hi Gianni ! Thanks for the comment and the link about the protein and the kidneys. I know the protein is bad for the kidneys and my doctor said because of my bad genetics I should stick to fruits vegetables and whole grains.
What I was worried was the potassium in the bananas actually.
Thanks a lot!!
Hi Gianni, I'm so glad you like my videos! And I'm also glad you think I don't have a Dutch accent haha! It must be a combination of me doing Cambridge English in high school, my mum being an English teacher and my boyfriend being from the UK!
Thanks a lot! Nice meeting you!
