Lifestyle Medicine has its origins at Loma Linda University affiliated with the Seventh Day Adventist movement.

It advocates a plant based vegetarian/vegan diet that lacks nutritional content including adequate protein and vitamins. It discourages the inclusion of the most nutrient dense foods - meat.

Very interesting discussion. I am blessed to be a part of a family that has always eaten healthier than most and exercised. Self-discipline is ingrained. So, these concerns are not my concerns. I have found that the healthier one eats, the less urges or cravings there are for things "unhealthy." So, for people just starting down this road...be patient! Keep at it, and your healthy eating and lifestyle will, in itself, continue to propel you forward as the healthier, happier you.
