Yeah, I am not quite there Viv but thanks for the concern. Pritikin was also doing it personally to get his B12 and I personally hate taking any kind of supplements. I usually have bad reactions to all of them b/c of a mental health disorder I have. I have not decided if I will give up tiny portions of meat yet. I may but I am not there yet. You probably don't know what I mean by tiny. Take a small flounder and bake it. I would cut it up into seven tiny pieces and eat one piece every other day. It is used as a condiment much as you might use a little table sugar in your oatmeal. I am not doing the Pritikin diet. I am probably 95% McDougall and the other 5% does come from Furhman, Ornish, and Pritikin. It is just a personal choice that I have made for myself currently but I have not ruled out future adjustments and tweaks. I may be taking a taking a tiny risk but I am a little bit of a risk taker. What i am doing right now is easily sustainable for the rest of my life. What I really want is to view my next lipid panel. This should tell me how well I am doing.
Mcdougll has said also he is an all or nothing guy. I am the complete opposite. If you tell me that x amount of a certain thing is good for me or will not harm me, I will then do exactly only x amount of that thing even if it is something I would like to do more off. That is how my mind works. Same with alcohol. Some ppl view it as a slippery slope but I don't ever have to worry about it becoming a slippery slope b/c of my psychological makeup. The only thing I really have ever overdone in my life is exercise and over exercising is not even an issue for me anymore.
*What is your staple btw?

7/8/2013, I decided to change my diet to a
"mostly" WFPB diet. I have always been somewhat lean and muscular due to being a lifelong exerciser. Change in diet due to feeling crummy all the time despite a healthy outward appearance.
