I'm in the same boat. Started Jan 1st and honestly have been doing well - no cravings, satiated, and I enjoy beans, greens and fruit. The salad dressings, however, are killing me. I've tried to make 3 different types - all pretty bad. It's not the oil for me, it's the salt. Everything tastes bland and flat. If you find anything useful , post it. I'll do the same.

It's no added salt - the idea being that there's enough salt in the food itself to meet requirements. According to JF, we are addi cted to salt, and it is causing major health issues. Bloody tough to cut out completely, though.

aging of skin
I am reading the Eat to Live book. I have 10 pounds of excess weight that I lost and regained many times. So I am more into health and a long-term diet I can stay with.
I think I will have little problem staying with Eat to Live diet IF it works with me. However, a main concern of mine is that a very-low-fat diet is said to lead to accelerated aging of skin. I checked out Dr. Fuhrman's images online. He surely has a lot of wrinkles on his face. On the other hand, whether the diet ages his skin depends on his present age. If he is really advanced in years, then it cannot be said that the diet has accelerated his skin-aging. Does anyone know how old he is? Anyone recently saw him face-to-face? Does anyone have any comment on this issue?

I have been following a nutritarian diet for a week now, and I am loving it!!
My biggest problem is not being able to eat a full 2 pounds of veggies/day. I get filled up quick, on less. I think this is ok as it should indicate that I am receiving what is needed?
I'm also breastfeeding a 9-month old baby. I haven't noticed any changes in her behavior or feeding habits. However, I add more nuts to my salads than recommended.
Being 5'8" and 124, I don't want to lose any weight - I am doing this for the benefits and lifestyle diet change.
The dressings are my favorite part about this plan!! They are what makes it doable for me.
