And this, of course, is the point really. If you really have to devour one or the other - take the burger.

Soylent Green is not allowed for the fast?

Looks like maybe a cousin of Beavis.

Help me out. Doctor A wants me on a high protein diet; Doctor B wants me on a high fiber diet; I need to lose 15 pounds; my wife is not Orthodox. Do I have a semblence of a chance in this matter?

JD, hmmmm... I'd find a nutritionist and give them the fasting rubrics and say, "Give me a diet that can incorporate as much of this as you can." (Or as much as you want it to incorporate according to your resolve.) The problem I have with keeping the fast is I usually end up just eating a LOT of carbs and gaining weight even doing construction for a living. A dual meal marriage is doable, it just takes more effort. If the fast is a total scandal to her then fast when you aren't with her and eat lightly what's on the plate when you are. (That's what I would tell you, but I'm not your spiritual Father...).
