Book and Website Info
Sorry people. When I came home from my appointment with Dr. Marymor, I shared that he mentioned a book and website for me to look into. I put the papers he gave me away, and have been so crazy busy with getting ready for school, I forgot to post that info.
The name of the book is "Protein Power." The website is http://www.okinawaprogram.com/okinawa_diet/okinawa_diet_food_pyramid.html
The Okinawa Diet is not what he was pushing, just the food pyramid they have there.
Basically, I believe he was trying to help me just get my thinking more in tune with less carbs, more protein.
I hope this helps.

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Trish,
Wow - i really like the food pyramid you cited. It seems so much more sensible than the USDA pyramid and I love that it's broken down into "eat daily" and "occasional/weekly." I do find the number of servings a bit odd - i'm assuming those are weekly numbers (7 - 13 servings of veggies per day?)...
Thank you for sharing!
