Hi flowr51! I have a bit of data here for you. I follow a low meat, low starch/grain eating plan that emphasizes whole plants - mainly vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts and seeds. It is not low carb (nor is it low fat or low protein). I get about 3% of calories from animal products and 3% from other sources (e.g. sugar, oil, alcohol, food-like substances).

At 0, 2, 8, and 14 months got the following results without drugs:
