Okay - but will Neanderthin give me a path to weight loss?

Why 6500?  I have over 50 pounds to lose.  My goal weight is 200.  Any
other program seems to suggest that I eat less than 3000 calories a day.
The idea of eating 6500 is very interesting.  What's the catch?  If I go
and buy 20 pounds of steaks right now and eat 6500 calories worth a day,
will I weigh less in two weeks?

So the key to the diet is to get a correct nutrition level and the fat
leaves?  You must eat the right stuff in a very high quantity.  Yes?
