Thanks for the translation! Ketosis is my middle name until I get to my goal weight, which is whatever looks good. I'm guessing another 35-40 pounds from where I'm at now. I don't religiously count carbs any more, but I know for certain I don't go above 60g/day. But rest easy; I'm NOT eating too much protien, which Cordain will address in his upcoming book. Typical day: one egg & 2 slices bacon for breakfast, one chicken breast for lunch and, oh, 4-6 ounces beef for dinner. Don't worry, I'm eating good veggies, just clueing you in on protein intake. Critics always gasp and say I'm eating too much. Ha! It's not much more than they eat, probably. Dori Zook Denver, CO P.S. Grrr! As I tap away at the keys, that annoying ad for Meridia is on the tube. When will people figure it OUT! ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
