I also love my coffee and won't give it up.
I drink one large cup a day.

>> Hi Dave,
>> As a retired dietitian, I hate any diet that says "no no no no no!"
>> That's one that will be out the door before you know it! If it doesn't
>> fit your lifestyle, it won't work, and it's not necessary. If you
>> might like some of the recipes, try them, and add them to your regular
>> menu. Or you could try out the diet by having one day a week be
>> vegetarian (not necessarily vegan).
>> But really, leaving out whole food groups is unnecessary and
>> unsatisfying, if you ask me. Keep meat portions relatively small, eat
>> your fruits and veggies, add a little grain and/or potato, and be
>> happy! It's best not to do things that are wildly different than your
>> normal. Especially when your diabetes is obviously well-controlled.
