Todd,

        I've been re-reading Neanderthin (to avoid embarrassments such as
calling lactose a protein; a little knowledge truly is dangerous), and I
was struck by Ray's assertion that a Neanderthin diet promotes increased
appetite.  Ray's daily diet calendar shows a prodigious caloric intake.

        I, like you, have experience decreased appetite accompanied by weight
loss. My weight loss has been rapid, but then I do have "that much
weight to lose."  Is Ray's increased appetite and high-calorie diet
simply a result of his lack of fat? When I reach my ideal weight, and am
no longer burning stored fat for energy, will my appetite increase as
well?  And can I expect an increased appetite and slower weight loss the
closer I get to my ideal weight?

        Any skinny people on the list?  What's paleo like for the thin set?
