When I was big into low carb eating I belonged to a low carb listserv and Ray Audette the author of Neanderthin was a member. Have you read his book?

I was very interested in his posts and even made some of the beef jerky recipies in a dehydrator. He was big into making pemmican too if I remember right.

I wasn't able to lost weight on the Atkins diet but I did feel the best I've even felt in recent memory. I know that carbs are pure poison for my body but want the reward of weight loss that goes with the diet. That I could never achieve.

So now I feel like crap and I'm fat : ( WWAAAA...think I'll have another beer.

High protein, very little fat of any kind, and enough carbs to keep your tummy from making disgusting noises. Keep calorie intake under daily energy use. You will lose weight.

THE KEY, the ABSOLUTE KEY is to eat a well balanced diet, eat what you crave, what your people (your ethnic group, not some cave ancestors) eat in moderation, don't be a pig, and STAY AWAY FROM CRAP. Also, you got to move, you got to move, as the Rolling Stones sang.

In point of dietary fact, no amount beer is too much, look at the Germans, they drink enough beer to float a boat, and they still excell at sports!

When I started my lo-carb diet, I lost 15 lbs in around 4 months. But then I slowly gained 10 lbs back. It's been 1 1/2 years now, & I still wouldn't go back to my hi carb past. I was getting constant heartburn before, and the Zantac commercials were calling me. A month into the diet I realized it had stopped. Just for that reason alone I'll never go back.

Eat fruits and vegetables whenever you crave...stay away from anything processed and/or that contains sugar (except fruits)...drink a crapload of water...engage in hand-to-hand combat at least three times a day, preferably to first blood but to the death if necessary...eat meat a lot (fresher the better, preferably some you've killed yourself to insure quality)...and last but not least, two words: TANTRIC YOGA. Oh, yeah, and send me $49.95 for the advice.
