I certainly have and now stick to variety and moderation from which I don't feel the need to deviate

I still eat the same healthy diet and they have given up on their diets.

Re: Giving up dairy
I've found giving up ANY food You are used to just starts a craving for it given time....I sometime add rice/almond milk in My porridge in the morning as it tastes quite nice,but I wouldn't give up semi-skimmed as I like it in tea/coffee..I don't eat a lot of cheese,but I do have plain yogurt with berries every day...cream is a treat...I slipped on black ice a couple of years ago and broke My collar bone,..had a bone scan and was told My bones were the thickest strongest She'd seen in Someone over 65,so to just keep on doing as I was doing...so I have and I will continue.

Rushed to hospital and spent the first 2 years of his life in hospital for a month, home for a week, back to hospital and so it went. He had to have special baby food and vitamins. As he got older it became less of a problem as the variety of food he could have was more extensive. Now he´s like me, if he´s going to be tempted, he needs to be close to a toilet
If I sucumb to a cornet I make sure I am near home .

The doctor told me that a bloodtest for Vit D levels is now included in blood testing, especially for people in our age group.
He had lost weight and hardly ate anything and kept saying he was tired . Being as stubbon as a mule he refused to go to a doctor saying it was 'old age ' he is only in his early fifties .
At last through dedicated nagging I managed to get him to go and it was found he was deficient in Vit D he had to have injections and the tablets . After six months the change in him was dramatic .

Re: Giving up dairy
HiNot eating dairy around here is a major crime.
Locally we produce over 2 million yoghurts a day, 1500 tons of butter a week and hundreds of tons of cheese.
The big Cold Store has 124,000 pallets of dairy products at any time.
Vegetarians are somewhat few and far between as well, there are 5 million chickens within a few miles.
To each their own, I quite like cooking a vegetarian meal, but you have to do it in the privacy of your own home with the curtains drawn.

Cheese, well I'm okay with cooked cheese, but a normal cheese sandwich and I'm on standby !
