If I had to give up a class of foods at this point it would be fruit. It
seems clear to me that I would do better with veggies (though completely
boring relative to fruit) and RAF (outstanding on a regular basis). And if
I had to choose between veggies and RAF it would be no contest: RAF wins as
a category. Interestingly, veggies taste best after RAF for me.

Melisa is currently _very_ satisfied with fruit follwed by keifer and maybe
butter. Fruit with an avo is a fine combo for me, but fruit alone is good
too. FWIW, I found after taking a week off of fruit, I was more satisfied
with RAF and veggies, and have an easier time eating less fruit since.

JL, I am enjoying your thoughtful posts very much!
