Thanks for the NYT article/your suggestion. It was an interesting read. Your characterization of the dr. (and photo) made me laugh.
Even thought it might seem contradictory to my earlier post (there is only so much you can get in a msg.), I do agree w/you about the need for fats. I feel perhaps Dr. Ornish's diet should be modified to be more liveable w/somewhat higher fat content--so you don't have to live like a monk.
What has been your experience w/Zone? I'm not totally familiar w/it. I find that when I go on low carbo diets they work for a time, but the world supply of Milk Duds (and sugar) drops if you go off them. Sugar rampage! They don't seem totally natural to maintain (just like a truly low, low, fat diet). Has your experience been different?
Was on the Ornish thing, until recently. Right now I haven't been thinking much about diet because I've other stuff going on. It's good to talk about for future reference/motivation to be healthier even when problems loom.
