I really believe in ETL but I think some of need more protein. You may want to check out The Hauser Diet which is brilliant at explaining why some people do great with a veg diet and others don't. <br /><br />I can go a long time without meat but eventually I need to add it back in but I do agree with Dr. F's plan with the eating a ton of produce both raw/cooked. I also somewhat agree with the blood type diet. I'm an AB which means that I do well with a semi-veg diet. I feel stronger with animal protein but yet don't have the stomach acid to digest a lot of it. I've also experimented with high protein diets and I usually end up with high choloresterol and just not feeling right. So I think for people like us it's a matter of finding the right balance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467558297342489525.post-49452991426897405772009-04-15T07:21:00.000-07:002009-04-15T07:21:00.000-07:00Re-read (if you haven't already read) Barbara King...Re-read (if you haven't already read) Barbara Kingsolver's section about vegetarianism in Animal Vegetable Miracle. The act of eating, regardless of whether you are a vegetarian or not, requires the sacrificing of lives. It is part of the cycle of nature that some lives are expended to uphold the lives of others. Insects and small animals are killed in scores when we plow fields. But we have a very Peter Pan relationship with death here - much too long to go on about it a blog comment. Somehow, nothing's supposed to die but we are all supposed to keep living. Can't happen. The life death cycle is not ingrained as ok and normal in our current culture so I think we all struggle with it. I do.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06376258024288572207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467558297342489525.post-40984493600836430132009-04-14T21:23:00.000-07:002009-04-14T21:23:00.000-07:00It sounds like you've come to a healthy compromise...It sounds like you've come to a healthy compromise - both physically and mentally!Shantellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037060901941691337noreply@blogger.com
