Hello! My name is Denalynn. I can't really say that I'm a vegan but felt that I could get a great deal of information from this board.<br><br><br><br>
I recently read a book by Harvey Diamond - "Living Without Pain." Since I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 3 years ago, I've been getting worse, turning down the "Here's a pill to help with the pain" way of dealing with it, and have been diligently searching for a more natural approach.<br><br><br><br>
For those of you familiar with his book "Fit for Life," it's the same concepts he's teaching in this book as well. I say it's worth a try.<br><br><br><br>
The problem - I'm not sure how to approach the monodieting. I love salads, but how many salds can you eat in order to eliminate the hunger pangs? <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/help.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":help:"><br><br><br><br>
Anyway, I'm hoping to glean information from this website.<br><br><br><br>

I'm not sure what you're allowing in your diet because I have not ready that book, but vegans eat a lot more than salads! <br><br>
Check out the recipe section for ideas and inspiration to get started!

I have fibromyalgia and I have been vegetarian for two years, vegan for almost one. Unfortunately, I have had no relief from FM symptoms with my diet changes. I eat salads, fresh fruit, fresh raw/cooked vegetables, sprouts, lentils, most beans, tofu, hummus, whole grain everything, and more..... I am not familiar with the book you mention or monodieting. I can't imagine eating only one kind of food can be very healthful, though. I haven't researched diet in regards to FM either. I think some people have had some luck with it however.
