Hi, All,

Like some of you I have been reading popular diet books since I was in middle school and medical research on food since I was 18 or 19. It's one of my hobbies that I return to every once in while.

Still. I am not an expert.
Also each body on the planet is different and requires unique care that no one book can address. Even most nutritionists do not understand how unique we are.

Also, a drastic change in diet can cause weird things to happen like detox.

The beginning of each diet book I have read mentions that you need to check with your doctor. HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!
As a general rule, they stink when it comes to food advice.

Still this would ideally be the right way to go:
-- get a really good work up from a really good MD,
-- then get some really good advice from a really good nutritionist.

What I am saying is forget this book. I only posted to tell you I was trying something new.

I appreciate the words of encouragement and the insight from others. Also, sometimes it is fun to talk about food. Thank you.

M.
