I also don't believe in high-carb diets. Nor have I ever said I follow one. What worries me is a non-carb diet. I think this can be problematic for many people, not low or moderate. I was once following the macrobiotic diet (80% is brown rice) so I am much " schooled " so to say about the dangers of high-carb. Strangely enough, I hear about people who do well on a vegetarian diet (including eggs and dairy), but I don't know how truthful their reports are.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Marilu Henner (a celebrity here in case you don't know who she is, ) ate a macrobiotic diet for a long time, i think, lost wt, looked fantastic and wrote books and had a program for people to follow. she's totally anti-dairy and anti-meat but i think she 'allowed' fish and maybe chicken. she was basically vegan, i think, for many years...i wonder how she is now, i wonder if she is still healthy and if she has been incorporating animal products into her regime. my understanding about vegans, is, they do okay for awhile but then it begins to catch up with them, and they suffer ill effects. laura > > > Hi : > > I agree: better not to generalize.
