As of this month (August 2013), it’s been 1 year since my wife and I have started eating a plant based diet. We adhere to the book and movie, “Forks Over Knives fame Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn Jr. M.D., plant based diet, No Animal products of any kind, No meats, No fish, No eggs, No dairy and also No oils or food with oil in it. No sugar, WOW is there any food left? I haven’t heard that many No’s since I can’t believe how easy it has been. I’ve never felt better, lost about 12 to 15 pounds, have not gained any weight and still have no hair. Can’t have it all. Check it out! Extreme? I THINK NOT! jg.
