BP pills gone for ever.
The cholesterol took a few months to get to 135 or so, again no meds
Lost about 35-40lbs
How do we (my wife also is on it but for the sake of the animals no med issues) do it
We do it because the results give us inspiration to continue, was it hard, well not easy, takes a few months to lose the graving.
Our Dr here has 1200 patients, we are the only two that he never writes a script for.

You bring up a very interesting point. As you and Dr Ornish have said, this diet can be difficult. I would imagine it gets easier as time goes by. But what if your spouse and/or children aren't willing to go along with the plan? What happens when your wife wants to go to Longhorn Steak house? How does one deal with making two separate meals three times a day?
