I usually say 3-5 times a week is a good amount for animal protein. Some people need more, esp if they have blood sugar issues, some people need less.

Thanks for joining in on Facebook. See you there!

Kelly, thanks for the reply. I thought you big time authors might be too busy for us little guys. Your points are duly noted–on page 235 it says “having animal protein three times a week is a ballpark amount to strive for” and on page 218 it says “eat 0-3 servings of protein daily” (but it does not specify animal protein).

There was lots of good stuff in there, I just chose to write about the points that stood out to me. I took a ‘biased’ approach, so to speak. Great book overall. Your common sense approach is very easy to follow and relate to. I took my whole family through the elimination diet, following your chapter 9 (I think). It was great fun.

If I knew how, I would have linked this right to amazon so that readers can get their own copy.

1 – Where do I say to eat animal protein only 1-3x a week? Don’t recall writing that.

2 – In my mind, the ‘meat’ of the book is the 5 universal Eating-for-Health Guidelines, which you didn’t mention.

3 – The feedback I get from people is that the two sections they like best are the section in which I go ‘on and on’ about the effects processed pseudofoods have on the body, and the section about overcoming obstacles to healthy eating.

So for whatever that’s worth to those considering reading the book;-)

For those who don’t want to read the whole book (the whole enchilada, as I call it), there are lots of bite-sized articles on my website http://www.KellyHayford.com and I also have a Facebook page for regular articles, factoids and inspirations: http://www.facebook.com/EatingForHealthWithKellyHayford

Thanks again, Doc!
