6 months or 6 years.... it won't make a difference. My girlfriend has
followed Pritkin lifestyle for probably 20 years. Her husband has
also been a vegetarian for at least 10 years. Until recently, he ate
everything else yummy like cheese, desserts, etc. but the doctor put
him on a restricted diet.
