Forgot a point in my last email -- Stephanson also considered a fat meat/fish 
diet "stimulating" and hypothesized that such a diet created slimness but 
also sped up the aging process.  I think he's right about the slimming factor but 
incorrect about the premature aging factor. Also, I highly recommend Blake 
Donaldson's book, Strong Medicine and the work of H.L. Newbold and Melvin 
Anchell.  All of these physicians put their fat cardiac patients on all meat or 
nearly all meat regimes and the patients lost weight and their cholesterol 
plummeted.  This may not be the case for everyone, but it is certainly the case for 
many people. We simply do not all process carbohydrate foods in the same 
manner.  Some people are more adapted to large quantities of carbohydrate than 
others. I know that a vegetarian and later vegan diet made me increasingly ill and 
weak.  I thrive of fat meat but realize others may not.  The only way to know 
is to test various diets and see what works best for each individual.
