I'd do this very slowly as your body has to adapt to having these in your diet. I'd add fruit only at first, 1 serving a day for a week and see how your body does. Second week is when I add in a starchy veggie a couple of days a week.
Do you eat the same way every day for 2 years? To me, your menu looks very sparse.
HTH!

Seems pretty sparse to me, too, sometimes But I eat two out of three meals and all my snacks at my desk during the week, so tuna, nuts, etc., just works. (I can't understand how people manage those elaborate diets with all the steamed fish and vegetables and sauces, etc., during the week. Who has time for all the shopping and chopping? ) I do expand my selections signifcantly on the weekend. I even attempt some gourmet cooking for my husband and I, but always avoiding the starches and sugars as much as possible.
