    It's great IF you know what you are doing. It's an ever evolving diet, and can't be done overnight. It can take years....particularly due to cravings and physical and social conditionings. That's why there are many levels and definitions. The best way to tell after you aquire your basic nutrients, is to measure how you FEEL. : )

    I've read an entire book that says the same thing about wheat.

    It might be the same author, but the other day I was watching on PBS where they have those talk health experts and it was a guy that had written a book about how bad wheat OF TODAY is for us, and how wheat in our diet is a blip on our evelutionary eating habits.
    I did look it up on Amazon and looked up the reviews and what not - there were readers that were speaking pro and con for this guy's book ...but it was very interesting. I forget his name, though.

    The book is called Wheat Belly by Dr. William Davis. I've decided to go grain-free because grains give me acid reflux, especially wheat. That's one less source of carbs I have to worry about, too.

    I've been vegetarian since 2000 and verging on vegan...cheese is the last animal product I've got to cut from my diet.

    If you know what you're doing, you can get all of your dietary requirements without eating animals or their byproducts. I find the meals tastier and there's far more variety

    great post read, ^^^Tarshi ^^^

    Yeah, that's him/it. Like l said, pro and cons. I eat certain grains, namely those as close to natural state as possible. And then intermitedly.
    It all boils down to how you feel, physically and or psychologically and or morally.

    It's like he's workout-moonwalking. Incredible.
    And the inspiring accompanying monologue...that would get me going every morning. :)

    Fish is meat. You are still eating flesh of an animal. Nothing wrong with fish though.

    i didnt chose to eat fish with the thought of not eating animals, as many do.
    i wanted to reduce my meat consume at first (beef, chicken etc) and since i was never too much a fan of fish that was an idea.
    replaced the meat i like with something i wasnt to much into leaded to eating almost no meat at all and less fish then i used to eat meat before.
    mind games, lol. but it worked.

    vegetarian!

    being either vegetarian/vegan has gotten easier over the years. i'm living in asia, and thus far it has been easier to keep up with it by the way of cooking and/or eating out. - veggies, fruits, lentils/beans, chickpeas, herbs/spices, etc. are so plentiful and cheap.

    side note: living in asia, one definitely learns how to eat less. keeping dry fruits and nuts on hand at all times, one can fulfill their caloric/protein requirements in no time.

    ^^^Jay, good to know Asian cuisine makes is easier for you. ^^^^^

    My next step is to give up cheese except for very rarely ...authentic regianno parmesan, which has strict laws on how it's produced ONLY from Italy, and authentic greek feta where the goats roam free...

    So found some vegan ones to taste test next..

    I hear you. Cheese is a tough one. Likely the last thing l will eventually give up, only because l rarely eat it now so it's savored.

    When l indulge my preference for artisan cheeses, l buy them imported from Europe, where BHT hormones and antibiotics are banned, or from any U.S. certified conscious farm that doesn't drug and abuse their goats and cows.

    To cut costs, l hit Russian markets (they sell cheese from every country at really low prices), and Whole Foods' own 365 Brand. (much cheaper than reg Supermarkets).
