If you would like further detail, you can read this broad discussion of dietary fat and nutrient absorption, as well. Keep your focus on maintaining the recommended pattern of behavior, and results will follow (although not always on the schedule we might prefer). TIME + ADHERENCE = RESULTS.JeffN wrote:Our diet is not fat free. People following our diet can get 10-20% of fat in their diet depending on the foods they eat. Even just eating whole natural foods, one can easily be at 12-15% (oatmeal is 16%). We do not recommend EPA/DHA supplements and are concerned with their potential risks.
Current data indicates that neither food nor food packaging is a pathway for the spread of
viruses causing respiratory illnesses, including SARS-CoV-2. In other words, SARS-CoV-2 is not a
direct food safety concern.

Making these changes takes a lot of work, and also a willingness to sometimes feel a little uncomfortable in various contexts, but ideally we are moving toward a more fulfilling, and health sustaining life.
As you note, that often extends to "little improvements" in aspects of our lives that seem, at least on the surface, unrelated to food, weight, and even physical health.
Keep building those new habits; eventually, they'll be just as hard to "break" as the old ones that they replaced, right?
JeffN wrote:Nutrients and the RDA/DRI
The RDA/DRI’s do not always apply to those following a healthy starch based diet. However by following the guidelines, especially starting meals with a soup or salad and the 50/50 guideline, one's diet with be very nutrient dense. In regard to weight, we do not recommend tracking your nutrients. Follow the plan, and the nutrients will be there.

I didn't do anything different. Maybe upped my vegetable-starch ratio a little, but nothing that would take me out of what I thought I could permanently sustain. This is key, I think. Don't make a change that you wouldn't be willing to live with for the rest of your life, just to blast off a few pounds. Remember, weight is equilibrium between body and eating. You can change the eating side of the equation drastically to get your weight down, but if you don't sustain it, the equilibrium point shifts back upwards as your eating changes back to what it was. This is why people regain lost weight!
