Hi – just wanted to say good design and blog – cu Frank…

It had been clear to me for many years that the calorie explanation for obesity (eating too many calories and not taking much exercise– i. e. greed plus laziness) must be wrong because many– probably most– people can eat as much as they like and …

During the initial stage of detoxing, I still ate chicken and fish about 3 times a week, although no beef or pork. Now I the only meat I consume is maybe once a month, a small amount of –cooked– crab or shrimp in sushi. I also eat eggs a couple times a month. (My diet is about 80% raw now — it goes higher in summer months, lower in winter. This is a natural phenomenon for all humans, btw.)

95% of my protein intake is from plants, nuts, and seeds. I always tell people this stat: there are 3 grams of protein in a 3/4 cup of frozen peas!! If you want to research this yourself, check it out at the USDA web site. They list the nutrients of all kinds of foods. It’s there.

Getting protein is NOT a problem on a vegetarian diet. The meat industry loves us to think otherwise, but it is simply a non-issue.

Try it for yourself for a few weeks — see how you feel. Be sure to supplement with B-12, though. That, you cannot easily get from plant sources and if you don’t get enough of it, you will feel tired.

Good luck!
