This is what NeanderThin (the book) prescribes as I read it:
see:
* pg. 70: permitted veggies and fruits are acceptable, but people
not achieving fat loss are eating too much of these
* pg. 106: if you add too many permitted carbs, fat loss may stall
* pg. 107: non-meats quantities need to be *regulated* (from zero up)
* pg. 88: besides NeanderThin, building muscle is the best way to reduce
fat*
* and to do this may need more protein (for muscle) and fat (for
workout energy) from meat
etc.
