Does anyone here do Ornish?

[Critters2]

My doc is suggesting I go on the Ornish very low fat diet. My cholesterol is not where she'd like it to be, and because hepatitis A left my liver slightly damaged a few years ago, she'd rather I try to bring it down with diet rather than meds. And she thinks I'll be able to do this more easily than a lot of people, because I'm already vegetarian.

And I'm finding I can do it pretty well, but some things are tough. Like cutting out nuts and nut butters, which used to be a major source of protein for me. And eating out, which we clergy do often (many meetings over meals in restaurants) is a real challenge. I'm getting tired of lettuce.

So, I wondered of anyone here is doing Ornish, McDougall, or some other very low fat vegan diet. And how's it going for you?

1. I'm trying to shift back into McDougall.

The best I have ever felt in my life was when I ate the recipes out of his cookbooks at least 6 days a week. I can't recommend The McDougall Plan highly enough.
