Nat,
Thanks. Your numerous postings have been a big help.

Its a little difficult for me because my SO's family is a big name in the health foods industry. Their name is carried in Great Earth, GNC, and many local grocery stores. They are known as pioneers in the industry so I'm bucking some of the long established principles. Its the low-fat/low-cal no red meat ever (I loooooooove red meat) rule. This WOE is the first time I don't feel deprived by only eating fish and some poultry. I hate fish and have gotten sick of chicken. I haven't bought chicken in over 2 weeks!

To top it off, my SO is LCing with me. WOW. Of course the family elder (an M.D.) doesn't know yet. sssssssh .
