score 1 for the macdougal protocol. congratulations.
i agree that substituting meat for carbs is a bad idea in the long term.
the successful fruitarians are clearly not so ignorant that they somehow accidentally stumbled upon their cure by inadvertently avoiding meat. they are mostly a low fat crowd though. a lot of them have been around the block a long time and usually they have already been down the low fat grain and carb route. different strokes for different folks.
i wish the solution was so simple for me. my energy plummets on low fat and i get constipated and depressed.
just curious what your blood type is.
there was a woman on the macdougal message board who went from full on chronic fatigue to marathon running in a very short amount of time.
