B2W, LC already IS out of the mainstream. Don't be discouraged by those in the mainstream who would attempt to marginalize LC. And try not to be like them, by referring to someone else's version of LC as being outside the mainstream.

You can do all-veggie LC or all-meat LC, or anything in between. And it appears to me that its all good for you. The meat-and-fat haters, can only prove that these foods are bad when taken with large amounts of carbs. They are attempting to extrapolate their results to LC, and it doesn't work.
