Not on it but have reduced all three, and we try to increase the amount of whole foods.
I have mad respect for people following it, but esselstyns “not nuts” would be a bridge too far for me.
I could see myself switch to a super clean diet later in life when I don’t have three kids in daycare. Right now it’s just survival mode and a wfpb’ish diet is the sweet spot between health, flavor and convenience.

I tried a couple of years ago to cut out salt and oil but basically flopped pretty quickly.
I'm a lot more confident/proficient in the kitchen now tho and have pretty much managed to go oil-free. Actually been surprisingly easy once you get used to not starting every meal with a massive glug of oil in the pan!
Gonna be much harder to cut out salt tho. And yeah, no way I could live without nuts! I think the more hardcore Esselstyn approach is for people with existing heart conditions etc, hence minimum fat intake.

Anyone else on a Dr Esselstyn / Dr Greger type wholefood flex?
i.e. no salt / no oil (also no refined sugars etc. although that's not so tricky for me cos I don't really have a sweet tooth at all..)
