Wayne...Rockette is exactly correct. Dr Fuhrman has 2 plans to follow in the first 6 weeks. One is strict Vegan for a more aggressive weight loss as compared to the Non vegetarian plan that includes vegeys with a higher starch content, one teaspoon of oil daily is optional, and no more than 12 oz of animal protein (chicken, fish and egg whites) is permitted. My DH and I started out on the Non Vegetarian 8 weeks ago but to my surprise he wanted to go Vegan after the first week. So, with the exception of the Whey protein powder that I had alwyas used after a hard workout everything was strict for us. I also am trying soy and rice protein powders. I don't think from reading your posts that you need to lose weight! But I have to tell you that I would never have considered being vegetarian until I read this book and I have never felt better in my life and never lost weight this easily, but I had always been obsessive about exercise. And I am sure the P90X rotation with some Cathe's added has helped a great deal also...

Mari is right at least for the first six weeks if you are more interested in the weight loss fat is limited. One T of ground flaxseed daily is suggested and then if you do use fat only the good fats. I do use avocado everyday and usually eat some raw walnuts as they are a good source of Omega-3 fat which he talks about in the book......Carole
