Notes, that diet is only a tiny bit restrictive in my eyes, as the bottom half makes up 65% of what I currently eat. I have a few things to eliminate from the top section and we'll be in sync. I'll miss chicken breast (always been a breast man!) but if I can have the full use of my ring finger back at some point it will be worth it. Give my body some time to purge after I make the changes and go from there. I DID find myself eating some food that wasn't as good for me as wiser choices while stores were having supply issues early in Covid World, but that has leveled off pretty well. For a while you'd place an order and they had 60% of it. So you had to go to another store and order the other 40%. And they only had 60% of THAT 40%, so the dollar level stores filled in but with cans and boxes.

This all gives me hope. This locking index finger thing is really annoying because I can't hold a pick.

Thanks to all who answered so far and gave me some sources to look into.
