Igor > Sounds very exciting. So, what is it that you normally eat.  Were you overweight before adopting this diet (were you ever
overweight)? Do you limit your portions in any way?

Before I started the plan, I was twenty pounds heavier and physically miserable.  Attention deficit disorder had me jumping from job to job.  I had started law school and an MBA and finished neither.  Frequent apthous ulcers in my mouth bedeviled me.  Allergies made me miserable.  My lipid profile had me on the early path to cardiovascular disease -- which has killed three of my four grandparents at an early age.

After much experimentation, which included a brief but disastrous low fat AND low carb time, I am now convinced that Ray Audette's high fat (including high saturated fat) way is right.  (See recent posts on the fat content of paleolithic megafauna -- posts that may have even convinced Dr. Cordain).

I weigh 150-154 pounds right now at 5'9".  I've mentioned my physical stamina and lipid profiles.  (Last visit doctor says "You will die someday, but it won't be heart disease that kills you.")  I am now one year into my masters program in information engineering and have a 3.5 GPA.  I am very happy in my career and personal life.  ADD gone.  Allergies utterly and completely gone.  Mouth ulcers gone.  Same with sore joints, gassiness, and general crankiness.

You might be able to tell that I am very passionate about this thing.
