I'm just getting a > little confused, I think. I mean that eating a very limited variety of foods may not be the best plan. I have read that H-G people used to eat an absolutely enormous variety of foods. Of course, we may have fewer good choices available today. But what I'm saying is that perhaps you could experience two kinds of problems from eating a very restricted diet: (1) if you are borderline intolerant of something you eat, then eating a lot of it might cause problems where eating a little of it might not, (2) you are more likely to miss nutritional elements by eating a very limited variety of foods because different foods have different nutrient profiles. __________________________________ Aaron A.
