This book by Dr Voegtlin outlines a diet far more restritive in carbs
than "NeanderThin".  This gastroenterologist wrote and published this
book in 1975 primarialy to aid patients with lower GI problems.

In this plan all meats are allowed in unlimited quanities.  All fat is to
be eaten including butter and olive oil and should constitute up to 80%
of calories.  Cheeses are allowed except those containing sweet milk or
cream which are avoided.

The diet outlined allowes only cooked vegetables.  These are further
limmited to only carrots, stringbeans, asparagus, tomatoes, zucchini,
beet greens, celery, spinach, mushrooms and eggplant.  Only peaches,
pears, apricots, and apples are acceptable fruits and must also be
cooked.  Both fruits and vegetables are further restricted in amounts
allowed.

This "Type A" diet is for people seeking relief from colitis, chronic
diarrhea and acid indigestion.  For people who are only obese he
reccomends "Type B" diet which also allowes raw or cooked lettuce,
celery, tomatoes, radishes, watercress, endive, cauliflower, broccoli,
onions, cucumbers, cabbage and romaine.

He also has a "Type C" diet which allowes one serving of hard bread, rice
or a small potato once per day.  This is used as a maintence diet.

The reason given for the restrictions of fruits and vegetables is that
they are scarce in all hunter/gatherer cultures for most of the year even
in tropical enviroments due to seasonal variations in climate and
resulting fruiting cycles.  Most cultures cited almost never eat
vegetable material for most of the year.  Our own abundance of fresh
fruits and vegetables year round is highly dependent on modern
transportation methods.

For someone like Grant who has difficulty losing weight on "NeanderThin",
I recommend cutting back on all vegetable foods and fruits.  It may seem
extreme, but it will produce rapid results and is very easy to do. As
long as your meat is not overcooked and you get enough fat you'll do
fine.
