Hi,
Thanks for the support.
And I do feel better eating this way.
I'm doing this with weight watchers both in meetings and on line.


Fuhurman allows but discourages the use of soy and grain products.

His big thing is to eat tons of raw veggies and lots of greens . . . .the very things that are generally missing from the Standard American Diet.

Regarding protien:
He points out that per calorie, broccoli has double the protein that steak has (steak's calories are in fat). . . same as spinach and so on.

He says in his book that his diet supplies 40-70 grams of protein daily on a 1200-1800 calorie diet.

He has lots and lots of research and he explains about how calcium from plant foods is more easily absorbed by the body than calcium from animals. He also explains that protein combining does not have to happen at the same meal -- it happens over the course of the day.

Also, I have common sense and if it stops working for me I know to make adjustments. I appreciate your checking up on me.

M.

Edited to add:
He does recommend taking vit B12, vit D, and a good multi.
