You and I had this dialog before I'm not going to repeat all the data,

but it has been proven many times worldwide, I know you tried it and couldn't stick with unfortunately.

Some need a serious visit to ER to find the will power.

But one must pray they make it out of ER.
Yes, it is easier. Not saying that it's better just that it's easier.

And you and I have had this discussion before and I still have not seen any unbiased scientific studies. What I have seen is a lot of anecdotal evidence from biased sources. The same thing can be found on the no carb, low carb, paleo diets. They all seem to work for some people.

I'm one who would disagree. For me switching from a high protein diet to veganism was easy once I established a routine after a few weeks. The first few weeks required some thought as to how I should go about it because I didn't have any formal instructions. Sure there are books with recipes but I really dislike following recipes.

What did I do before switching? I had tried the Paleo diet and then decided to try the blood type diet. Having type O blood called for eating limited amounts of animal protein.

Why was switching over easy? It was easy because I derive a great deal of enjoyment/pleasure from eating healthy whole foods. I like fresh fruit, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts and seeds etc. And I don't require lots of spices. I mainly use fresh garlic, fresh onion and turmeric powder. (No more olive oil; I use nuts instead.)
