Another interesting exchange.  It seems the whole mess is abit confusing.  I
generally eat very low carb from week to week with occasional 'spurges' when I
feel like it.  In general, I try to keep them paleo, but I've been known to
have a bowl of icecream and even CAKE (!!!)  at a birthday party!  Don't tell!
;)  Personally, I'm interested in effects of protein 'gorging' wrt insulin, fat
and all that.  Mostly cause I've been known to chew three a 3lb+ roast on
occasion and if the results are 'favorable' I may have less guilt with my
gluttony. :)  Looks like I have some more reading to do.
