Mari...wow that is interesting that you are doing this in conjunction w/ ww. The program does allow for some flexibility...esp. if you are willing to eat a lot of veggies (fiber).

Here is an interesting article (I think):

I read it fast...but I think it features a study about prudent eating. Folks who ate less meat (probably less red meat and fats), more veggies, less sugar...seem to have less heart disease and overall better health...will re-read later...but wanted to get it down! LOL!

Wishing you (and all of us really!) continued good luck with your good health/weight loss!
