Hi Lulu,

Again I'm not the address for technical mb knowledge, but am so amused always by the word "extreme." Extreme is all relative to where you are at. There was a time I didn't think it was possible to cook without using oil. Today I hardly use it except when cooking for others. My same experience with protein, I eat so very little today compared to what I used to. I truly understand now that we humans do indeed need very little protein.

My impression is that your counselor is not being extreme as he has set it to a limited time and then slowly incorporating oil back into your diet. My question to you is do you trust him? I think it's very very important that you feel comfortable with your counselor and "play" with his advise and see how you feel, and if you have concerns afterwards when you've tried, then be able to work with him. It is important that both of you are flexible, you with his advise, and he with readjusting your diet depending on how you respond (that is, how your body responds, but do know that how your mind works can very much affect how the rest of your body responds!).

Hopefully your counselor has already had much experience and it's based on his knowledge and experience that he is advising you.

I wish you well.
