    I've been a vegan and WFPB for almost 3 years now. I lost weight on it initially without exercising. More importantly, the diet (plus specific herbs/supplements) also helped me get over chronic Epstein Barr virus that I had had for 10 years! I feel great!

    Today I logged onto Fitness Pal for the first time in a long time so that I can keep track of my calories and exercising. I need to shed 25 more lbs and get stronger. I turned 60 on April 10th and feel the pressure of needing to do this now!! I want to get strong enough so that I feel comfortable rollerblading this summer.

    My daughter has chronic EBV and NON Hodgkin's lymphoma I would love to know what you did to cure it???

    you cant cure EBV I have it and it stays in your body.eating a certain way while having flare ups can help, but it can lay dormant for years and you can have flare ups from time to time!. I had it for the first time ever last year.There is no cure for it. I also have NO idea where I got it.

    I'm a level six vegan: I don't eat anything with a shadow. I also pocket mulch, which is exactly what it sounds like. Beat that!

    Simpsons episode. I remember that one. Quoted it the other day, too. ;)

    High Carb, struggling with the low fat side of it, (avocados, just gotta eat them).
    Low fat isn't good for anyone at all. It's absolutely essential to have fat in the diet (hormones, hair and skin, regularity, plus fat soluble vitamins), so eat your avocados. Go moderate fat, high carb, moderate protein. Don't skimp on the fats...

    If you're going to make a claim like that, you should really include some proof. Please provide some links from credible medical journals or health organizations that show harm from eucaloric low fat diets in humans.

    Yes, SOME fat is essential. No one here has talked about a no fat diet.
