        Karl, you have nothing to fear. I eat at least 3 to 6 lbs of red meat a
day. A glass of orange/tangerine juice and about a pound of veggies and I
am losing weight. I know some people may not be able to eat that much and
still lose but then again a lot of people don't need that much to keep going.

        This has attracted me too. I was on Atkins for 2 years and did quite well
(Lost around 150 lbs). I think Neanderthin takes it one step further though
and now with the removal of dairy products from my diet I am allergy free
for the first time in 10 years. While all of my friends are walking around
feeling miserable and not being able to breathe I am breathing freely. Just
for that alone this way of eating makes it all worth it to me. The funny
thing is that when I tell my friends what is probably causing their
allergies they all say "Oh, I can't give up my ice cream.". Well I guess
some people can still rationalize that a few minutes of pleasing their
taste buds is worth a few months of misery of living with allergies. Go
figure. =+)

        If you like spicy foods try the recipes in Neanderthin for Chili and the
Mexican Porkchops. The porkchops take a little prep time but I could eat
them 24-7. My chili recipe I think is actually a little better. I will post
it someday when I have more time on my hands to write it all down. And I
would recommend taking the time to make some beef broth for stuff like
soups. Adding just plain water to soup makes it taste bland. I use both
beef and chicken broth.
