The Tom and Gerry Diet

While the goal is a 99% Whole Food Plant Based diet, we do use olive oil at times and are not religious and uptight if we eat a bit of “banned’ food. The trick is to find the healthy foods which work best for you and which you can eat the rest of your life. You need to personalize the diet that works best for you.

Where’s the Protein Song
(Sung to……Take Me Out to the Ball Game)

Where are you getting your protein?
Are you getting enough?

I say Beans and Lentils and Whole Grains
Tofu and Soy they’re so good for the brain.

And there’s Oats and Nuts and Seeds
potatoes, broccoli, and rice.

Whole Foods Plant Based is my best advice.
