I believe so strongly in the health benefits of eating a plant based diet. I believe it can ward off many diseases and can reverse many ill effects of poor eating. I have not been completely successful eating 100% plant based but am going with the motto, "progress not perfection" until I am eating 100% plant based. I have not lost weight as easily as it is mentioned in all of the reading about FOK, etc. But i refuse to give up and am tracking my calories on mfp to see how many calories i am consuming. I hope to attend one of the many live events offered with FOK, The McDougall program, etc. but for now, love the support that i can get here.
