Thanks for the ping. I actually switched from Atkins to Neanderthin diet about 3 months ago. Less weight loss than Atkins for me but with exercise, I'm building solid muscle mass and reducing size. The low-carb simply works...less hunger and more energy long-term.

Yes, but... how do you cope with the hair growing on your knuckles, and the sloping forehead??

I switched my middle daughter to a high-meat/low-carb diet three years ago, to handle her hypoglycemia (low-blood-sugar). We had just pulled her out of first grade and started homeschooling her when the school started demanding we let them Ritalinize her in order to control certain behavior problems (going into hysterical crying for 20 minutes at a time when she got stressed)

I finally figured out she was exhibiting all the symptoms of hypoglycemia, and switched her diet. Previously, her breakfast consisted of cerial, frozen waffles, and other carb junk. This would cause her blood-sugar level to spike, and then crash at about 10-11 am (which is when the problems would occur). The advantage of meat is that it digests slowly, producing a stable blood-sugar level over a longer period of time. Highly-processed carbs, on the other hand, digest quickly, producing a glucose spike which causes the body to crank out insulin to signal the body to store the excess glucose as glycogen and (when the liver cant hold any more glycogen) to convert it to fat.
