But is it practical? How many people trying to get the kids off to school in the morning and themselves ready for work will take the time to broil salmon? What will they do when they dine out, especially in someone else’s home? And most important of all, can they stay on the diet indefinitely and live happily without a piece of bread, cracker or, heaven forfend, a serving of ice cream?

I realize Ms. Brody will never read this response, but in case it might benefit someone out there: 1. Refrigerators. I don't care that much for salmon myself, but cook big batches of meals and freeze, refrigerate? Reheat? I'm sure she's heard that idea before in the context of other diet plans. 2. Other people don't control what goes into my mouth. Not at their restaurant or their home. My health and my food choices are my responsibility and that doesn't change even if others for their own convenience and comfort level try to pressure me to think it should. The consequences for poor choices are mine not theirs to pay so not giving them that sort of power over me. 3. Most important of all, she says? Yes, if you truly feel unable to give up ice cream or bread, that's something you'd do well to be aware of. Just like if you truly can't give up that adult beverage habit or other substances more quickly identified with addiction. And yes, Ms. Brody even though you'll never see this, I am happily living life without those things. Crackers and bread? Don't even seem like real food anymore.
