Sorry, Aaron:  I didn't make myself clear, I guess.  When people have
hyperinsulinemia, every carbohydrate they eat gets stored as fat, and they
can even gain weight on diets that other people would lose on.  I am
guessing that my SDA friends were all people with this disorder, which is
extremely common.  If a person has no problem with insulin or sugar
metabolism, a high-meat diet wouldn't suit, obviously.  Sorry for the
misunderstanding.
