Five Myths About The "NMP" (No Meat Or Poultry) Eating Style by Melanie Jordan

know I had changed my eating habits until I told them, because I tended to order food out from favorites like Italian, Chinese and Mexican or salad bars anyway. Instead of ordering a dish

with chicken, I would go meatless or order fish, and no one was the wiser. If I went to a friend or family member's house where I knew that they might not have much for me to eat, I would bring along a healthy meatless dish like a pasta salad as an offering

to the host or hostess. This would ensure I wouldn't "starve" and usually the meat and poultry eaters in attendance would enjoy

it too.

Myth 5: I could never go "NMP"

Never say never! Even though I have been a healthy eater for nearly a decade after a "misspent youth", if someone would have told me years ago that I would adopt an "NMP" eating style and maintain it for nearly three years now, I would have thought they

were crazy. Taking my healthy eating habits to a new level occurred when I witnessed first-hand the heart disease and diabetes present in my family worsen. While that was strong

motivation, it might not have been enough if I was forced to eat

foods I did not enjoy and give the heave-ho to all my favorites.

If you find a way to get creative and still eat the foods you love, you'll find that you can stick with it.

"Mythology" aside, the decision on whether or not you should go "NMP" either full-time, or from time-to-time, is a personal one between you and your team of health care professionals. But

consider that such a lifestyle change could help put you in the best possible position to live a long and healthy life-both for your benefit, and that of your loved ones. And that's a fact.
