There were two books that changed my eating and lifestyle... Blue Zones and the Skinny B*tch Diet. I have been meat-less ( (fish once a week) for almost 3 years and have never felt better. I also cut way back on fruit juices and beer ( boohoo) which dropped my blood pressure down to perfect. I am almost as lean as I was in my late 20's and early 30's when I was doing ton's of training and racing ( 54 now). I found the right mix of food and diet for my body/lifestyle. But everyone is different, some people prefer the meat/vegatble diet, some raw food and others, grapefruit juice. I think the thing to take away from these discussions is to experimant and find the right mix of things that works for each of us.
The other thing I've learned is that most of these "new Diet" author have one pupose ... sell their book. ~Mike~ On Jan 3, 9:16 am, Garth <garth...@gmail.com> wrote: > There's just so much mis-information about food out there.
