my basic diet was cereal with soy milk, soy cheese on Ezekiel bread, some fruit, coffee, refried beans with carrot and celery sticks. And chocolate! And water. But basically low fat, high fiber, relatively vegan. My mother would eat bacon and eggs, Chinese food, chicken wings, spare ribs, pizza, garlic bread - and she was fine! Drove me nuts! AND she would complain that my refried beans stunk!
