I'm doing Audette's plan too, pretty much - haven't read the book yet
but plan to soon.

I don't know whether this plan is best for everyone - obviously
people have to make up their own minds about how they want to eat -
but I fouind that when I was on a low-fat, high carb vegetarian food
plan, even though the carbs were supposedly very healthy, such as
brown rice and whole wheat etc - it would always lead me right back
into compulsive eating, especially of sugary foods. I'm not sure if
it was because the plan was so low protein or if it's the carbs
themselves - I just know that sugar is my addiction and, like an
alcoholic, I have to avoid it like the plague.
