Todd, I agree that the desire for food goes away. That's why the aborigines can get away on 1200 a day. What carbs and what type of fats are you using and is the meat you're eating grass fed animals? Too, what is your carb level to stay just above ketosis or are you monitoring ketones? I find it exceedingly difficult to keep fats that low and feel well. Darn near impossible. Oliva ----- Original Message ----- I have been experimenting with a similar sort of diet, and I do find it very satiating. It takes a while to digest that much protein, and while that is happening, the desire for food goes away. It certainly has worked to get weight loss going again. Todd Moody [log in to unmask]
