No kidding! I was a vegetarian in some form or other for most of my adult
life--lacto-ovo, vegan, macrobiotics, raw food--I just couldn't understand how
I could eat so healthy and yet have so many health problems. And I was hungry
all the time! I had the same problem when trying to do typical low-fat
diets. When I was on Richard Simmon's Foodmover program I lost 13 pounds with
much difficulty and then my weight loss stopped. For 6 long weeks I continued
on 1200 calories a day with my pathetic little 4 ounces of protein that was
allowed and didn't lose a single ounce. That's when I gave up and started
looking for alternatives. I read "Neanderthin" shortly after that and it
changed my life...for the better! I finally know what it's like to be a
"normal" person around food. I eat when I'm hungry, drink when I'm thirsty,
and rest when I'm tired--like a good animal should. :-)
L'shalom,
Marishka
