That is, make fresh produce the focus of your diet, with some protein (meat based or not) and good fats rounding out your meals. I will certainly check out Peter Berley's book.

I'd rather not assign a name or category for our eating style, but it does look similar to how you're rating--eggs, tofu, some fish, and some pastured chicken when it's available at the farmers' market.

I still eat chicken, and when I made Melissa's tofu last week (the link is in another post), I made it with chorizo and that didn't bother me. I just follow, you know, my gut.Robin Aronsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03080623538120396969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3979501558241561585.post-73063482987956831642008-04-21T13:42:00.000-07:002008-04-21T13:42:00.000-07:00Interesting.

AS with the Skinny, when it comes to the Cell, you just got to be who you are! <BR/><BR/>As for going veg, I don't think I can go all the way vegetarian, but I just can't bring myself to eat a whole plate of red meat these days. Even chicken is hard. That's not to say if you invited me over for a dinner party and roasted a leg of lamb I wouldn't take some. But I wouldn't be surprised if those meals turn out to be the only ones where I eat red meat.Robin Aronsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03080623538120396969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3979501558241561585.post-48809699192688684992008-04-21T11:47:00.000-07:002008-04-21T11:47:00.000-07:00I am the opposite--cell phone only.

I was sick of having the home phone ring all evening, even after joining the "do not call" list. Turns out the Democratic National Committee and other political groups are exempt from the list and no, I'm not interested in donating $50 to Congressman X's campaign. <BR/><BR/>On another note, have you decided to go veg?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3979501558241561585.post-69959611943201956532008-04-21T11:23:00.000-07:002008-04-21T11:23:00.000-07:00I got to the point last year where it felt like my...I got to the point last year where it felt like my cell phone was wrecking my life. So I downsized to a 90-minutes-per-month plan and let people know I couldn't use it except for fairly compelling reasons while away from home. Otherwise, it's turned off and I don't even check voice mail, sometimes for days. And you know, it's been working out. How's that for Skinny?<BR/><BR/>Happy "Makeover"!<BR/><BR/>LiziAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
