My mother at first expressed concerns, fortunately for me she is not overbearing with her opinion, but now she is trying this WOE after seeing my results. However, I have other people from work, church, etc. who feel the need to impress upon me the dangers of this WOE. I have just learned to ignore them, at first I would feel defensive but after really thinking about it, I thought - what have I really changed and given up???? I NEVER ate fruit before and very few vegetables, the only things I have given up are the items that are not good for ANYBODY -sugar and starch! I always ate meat, I always ate eggs and cheese and I now eat MORE vegetables than ever before. So that's how I look at it and tell others when they start questioning!

My previous diet was mainly starch and sugar! No wonder my system went into shock and caused my hair to fall out!
