old ideas
![Post Post](./styles/mcd/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
I was one of those people who continually asked "how will I get enough protein?" My friend has been a vegetarian for many years.. She kept telling me how good this way of eating is and I kept saying I couldn't live without the protein in meat, eggs, dairy etc.
I finally decided to give it a try myself. After all, what did I have to lose? Just 80lbs of fat gained from eating a "well balanced diet" as per the food pyramid and all I had read and learned from TV and all the other "educational" sources over the years.
I watched the McDougall video, "Five dietary myths" and read the "Program for Maximum Weight Loss" book and started in on this way of eating. What I read and saw on the video really got me to thinking about the hours and hours of indoctrination that I had been subjected to by the food industry over my lifetime. Do you ever see broccoli advertised on TV? Read up on it. It is a fabulous food. full of nutrients, and the potato! wow all these years I have been severly limiting the amount I ate of this wonder food because of what I put on the potato. I got a link on this board for "things to put on a potato" I find I don't need to drown my potato in fat to make it good.
When one becomes willing to examine old ideas is when true enlightenment and change can come about.
Good luck!
