Hi Leslie, Thanks for the recipe.
If you are referring to this site with your frustrations I want to say something. All of us are having different results according to our individual situations. No one solution is going to work, unmodified for every one.
I think we are all thankful for this site. It is very expensive to set something like this up and this program is providing a livelihood for many people.
That said it is entirely possible to follow the program for the purchase price of the BSS book and no more. I have become comfortable with the site. I pay for the nutritional coaching, and nothing more and I am happy to do so because it benefits myself and others.
Dr Hyman is concerned and also has the ability to generate money to help more people and to create employment for scores more. Because we live in a capitalistic society that is how the system works. I think his concern is shown by the way he has worked around the world with poverty stricken people. There is a very low percentage doctors from America that do such noble work.
As you know, over the decades. there have been other similar approaches. Rodale and Dong and Atkins and Paleo and on and on. For whatever reason Dr Hyman has refined this approach and now is reaching more people than all those others put together. This is a great thing.
The bottom line is eat lots of whole, sustainably raised food, period. Eat your vegetables and your protein with a little fruit. A recipe for health.
I am posting this as a public message rather than a private one because you and I are not the only ones that have had such concerns.
Your friend, Margaret

I’m very much a newbie to this, but this is striking me in a positive way as a person with a weight problem. This is much, much more concern and less, much less about profit. Ever been to Weight Watchers? Now that’s for profit.

Any time we make big changes it causes frustration. Hang in there.
