2. yah, too heavy on the seafood for me too
but if you have to limit it to "two weeks" then you might as well not do it at all. Eating right is a lifestyle commitment, not a two week jaunt. The high anti-oxidant content comes primarily from the veggies & fruits.

Basically, for active non-vegan adults, eat a small to moderate amount of lean protein from any meat source, then fill up on lots of legumes, leafy greens, and vibrant colored fruits & veggies - and, barring overdosing on nuts and raisins, you really can't have too many fruits and veggies no matter what you think. Moderate grains & starches, and every once in a reasonable while you can have a big old slice of chocolate cake with extra frosting and not feel the tiniest twinge of guilt.

Your body is like a fantastic vehicle - it can run on either crap gas OR quality fuel but its performance and mileage will reflect the quality of fuel you put in it and the regular maintenance you give it. A two week focus will only have a a two week effect.
