What do you all think - is this a healthy way or not? Ardeith writes: I'm wondering if his energy droops during the day..... otherwise I'd agree with him........our ancestors woke, broke their fast with whatever was left of last nights supper, and snacked through the day as they gathered whatever they were gathering...............if they rested through the heat of midday, they may have eaten a meal at that time.........I don't think three square meals a day existed until the Industrial Revolution made it necessary for people to report to work at a particular time, work until a particular time to break for lunch, and then work until time to go home to their regularly scheduled suppers. Now, I have a small report for this group........ after three weeks of eating no bread at all, Fred brought home bar-B-Q the other night and they had packed soft buns in with the ribs........I ate half of one.....just half....I gave the rest to the dogs........that night I began 48 of the most miserable hours I've known lately.......hives from head to toe, itching horribly, feeling as if the inside of me was hollow and inflamed......gas like you wouldn't believe...........my anithistimines just barely kept the itching in check.....the lumps of the hives were there but not itching........ at one point I thought I might have to go over to the hospital for an injection of cortisone because it was becoming hard to breathe........but my allergy pills kicked in and that passed...........I swear I had eaten nothing else that was any different ..........the meat and slaw from the Bar-B-Q are both parts of my regular diet......and I've eaten their sauce before with no problems.........I think I shouldn't eat no more bread, no how, no time, no way!
