My life journey of being plant-based diabetic - Introducing myself

IMG_20170821_204542_353.jpg

Dear Steemit Community,

I'm so excited to be here and very thankful for @luzcypher who showed me Steemet.com. This is exactly what I was looking for. :)

Let me introduce myself...

My name is Miri and I am a 26 years old Hungarian girl who was diagnosed with Type1 Diabetes in November 2016. Since then I've tried many things in order to improve my disease and I’ve just found the way to improve it extraordinarily.

This diet is called a Low-Fat, Plant-Based, Whole-Food diet. This is a lifestyle that doesn’t only help people living with type 1 diabetes to improve their disease and reverse type 2 diabetes, but eating a plant-based diet has been linked to lower risk of obesity and many chronic diseases, such as heart disease, inflammation and cancer.

Since I started following this diet I feel super healthy, I'm full of energy, my insulin needs is lower than ever, I lost 16 pounds within 3 weeks (which totally blowed my mind), I reached my ideal weight that I’ve always dreamed of and last but not least, I can eat huge portions of food for each meal without feeling guilty and gaining weight. I can’t tell you how grateful I am for finding this diet. This is just incredible!

I am very passionate about this lifestyle and I can’t wait to show you how to become the Healthiest You ever!

I love preparing healthful, nutritious meals, developing new recipes and experimenting with different kind of ingredients and flavours. I'm going to be sharing low-fat, plant-based, whole-food recipes with photos I cook and prepare myself; useful tips and recommendations; as well as my own mental and physical development that plays a huge role in improving my diabetes, too.

I have a passion for helping others struggling with diabetes, insulin resistance, overweight, or who just want to live a healthy, happy life.

I hope you will enjoy my recipes and photos and will inspire you to eat as nutrient dense food as possible.

I truly love it!
I was living in Bali for one year and just started posting about it :-)

Hi Miri. Congratulations on getting here so early; its a pleasure to have you on board.
Supportive, enthusiastic, insightful commenting is usually the best way to get some traction and start building a following.
Pick a few relevant tags and read what interests you.
You'll pick up some great formatting/layout ideas and make some friends with mutual interests.
If you focus on blogging to build your audience you risk burning out.
(It's demoralising to spend hours on a post, only to watch it be enthusiastically upvoted by both of the people who read it.)
I'm sure you'll do great :)

Dear Matt, thank you so much for your recommendation, I really appreciate it! It means a lot to me :)

welcome plantbasedmiri, nice to meet you!

Hi lopezdacruz, thank you so much!! Nice to meet you, too :)

Welcome to Steemit darling!
Very nice introductory post!

We are all so happy to have you here. If you have any questions i am sure anybody would be glad to help you, so don’t hesitate to ask. We are a super friendly and kind community.

About your diabetes... does it run in your family or are you the first in line ? Do you get insulin shots or pills? How long ago is it that you started this diet you mention?
I find it all super interesting, i am definitely following you to find out more about this. You seem like a super cool girl too so, yeah, looking forward for more posts from you!
Take care! ;)

Dear @soykatonline, thank you so much for your kind comment!! I really appreciate it. :)

I'm the first one in my family so this is not genetic. I was diagnosed last year in November and I use insuline shots since then. I'll probably write a blog post about how I found out I have diabetes and what the cause might be in my case :)

Thank you very much for following me and I can't wait to tell you more about my disease and this diet.

I see.
Very interesting.
You are very welcome <3

i was just about to start reading the article about healthy hamburgers.
The best wishes for you and you new Steemit journey ;)

Welcome to steemit Miri! So beautiful you with a healthy diet. Can not wait to get some healthy recipes from you :)

Welcome to Steemit!
I have also started a plant-based journey! I am still trying to find different recipes and reading a lot on having this new lifestyle.

I had upvoted and will definitely be following you for more insight! :)

Dear @jchenevert, I'm so glad to hear that you started following a plant-based diet, too!! I love its benefits :)
I will be posting many recipes, I hope you will find some you like.

Dear @nursejamie, thank you very much for your kind words :)

welcome aboard miri! looking forward to ur steems.

Thank you so much @blhz :)

Welcome to steemit! You'll do great here for sure!! Listen to all the advice @luzcypher can give you, it will help you tremendously

Thank you so much for your kind words @gringalicious :)

Beautiful! Many are coming back to plant based these days, realizing it actually works 🙏🏽💪🏽

Exactly!! I'm totally passionate about this diet :)

Miri,

Since you mentioned diabetes, i wonder if you are aware that all conditions we have in modern society are directly related to mineral deficiency in our soil and water and consequently in our system?
I may be able to add value to ur current diet and even contribute to the complete release of the need for insulin, should u be open to discuss I will be happy to share what I've been working with for the past ten yrs and ppl I've helped 😉

I just was your reply. Sure, I'm open for everything. Let me know how and when we can talk about it :)

Hi Miri, yes I'm glad you are open.
Do you want to find me on fb and we can go from there? (Nissim Malul, Los Angeles)

I think I found you, I added you :)

Welcome to steemit!! I look forward to seeing more of your posts on eating a plant based diet. Although I do eat meat, I try to eat whole and unprocessed foods. I’m sure I’ll enjoy trying out some of your recipe and food suggestions!

Welcome on Steem Miri! I'm glad to hear that plant based diet have been of great help to you. Do you sometimes eat animal product?

Dear @teamsteem, thank you very much for your kind words :)
I totally eliminated animal products from my life. No dairy, no meat, no dairy. And it totally helps :)

This is awesome. I did the same more than 2 years ago. I was vegetarian for 5 years prior to this.

Hello!
