I just started Dr Hyman's new book, he still calls his diet "pegan", emphasize veggies, yet when he gave a range for protein, it averages out to 100-120g. That is about how much I would eat before I ever started tracking and worrying about it. Sounds good to me  |

Two very wise recommendations. Low carb is supposed to be easy to follow without a lot of counting, whether it's protein or calories. Yes, count carbs and keep them low with lower carb vegetables as the only dietary source. I agree, we can get overly prescriptive with this. N=1 works, and the patience to find what works for you and make the necessary course corrections to fine tune is all part of this. Over time, and I'm talking about 1 - 2 years and beyond, this WOE becomes so fundamental that you realize it's now a familiar lifestyle with zero sensation that you're making sacrifices.
