Having spoken with her and read a lot on the subject lately I can make the 
following observations. She looks at this as a lifetime thing, to maintain 
and improve her health. I don't think she'll ever go back to the old way of 
eating, and whenever she introduces a new thing, she does it gradually and 
watches the results.

Personally, I'm with you vis-a-vie the eating sensibly and exercising, and 
frankly, I think Deirdre is too. I just think a sensible diet is a matter of 
individual body chemistry as much as anything else. We're now experimenting 
as to what "sensible" is.
