Been doing the GOMBBS diet recommended by Dr. Joel Fuhrman.
My old man had good results with it so I started a couple months ago.

Snacks often consist of blueberries, blackberries, nuts, or sunflower kernels.
Most evenings include a large salad of various types of lettuce, spinach, etc., freshly sliced onion, white button mushrooms, beans (red, black, northern, garbanzo), and sunflower kernels or pumpkin seeds topped with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

After awhile, tastes change (you start craving the recommended foods) and you get hungry less often.
So long as I eat a decent amount of the recommended foods, I eat whatever else I want in order to get sufficient calories.


Quite happy with the results so far.
Dropped 8 pounds, body fat is down, blood pressure is down, and resting pulse is down (high 40s low 50s typically).

Had chronic sinus problems my whole life; those problems are greatly diminished (almost absent).
Had chronic joint pain (mainly wrists and ankles) from years of weight training and basketball; don't have any joint pain at all anymore.

My old man reported similar results with sinuses, joints, blood pressure, and pulse.
He's 68 and now has a resting pulse in the high 30s (however, much of that is probably due to exercise).


It's hard to say how much of this is due to the diet, but I started feeling different within a week of starting it.
