Hmmm. . . interesting, if conflicting, advice; thank you. Actually I decided to (at least) try the advice for a bit, in part because very quickly I have found that my "fat" cravings are going away (at least for now???). Last night I went to a chinese restaurant and ordered the steamed veggies with sauce on the side (wasn't going to eat the sauce), and found that the veggies were somehow steamed with a bit of (probably poor quality) oil! I ate them anyway, and felt strange afterword. could be psychological, since I hadn't been at the "no oil" thing for more than a few days, but something is clearly changing. That said, I think the "point" of the no oil for ten days, then a "tiny bit" regimen is that it is supposed to make me discharge oil in some way. I do fear discharging--not sure what will happen. Also I'd never heard of this before, and can't find anyone else who has. I'm not sure, and need to ask the counselor, who is unavailable this weekend. Anyway, this is definitely an adventure, seemed to get easier with the drinking of sweet vegetable tea, which seems to be keeping many cravings in check. Thanks again.
