Five years or so here, and weight stable at a lean point. I am not
bored with the food, have no trouble with cravings, eat as much as I
like on a generally low carb regimen. I have no idea on my blood
chemistry, but nobody shrieked the last time I was tested. I eat a lot
of fat, mostly animal with a bit of olive and sesame oil. My cheats are
butter, a little cream, black tea, and the very occasional one ounce at
a time of wine. I do a lot of raw and rare.
