True, it's the same thing that has people paying 10x the market rate  
for branded painkillers.

I've seen a lot of discussion about it, it's definitely one I want to  
read.

Hmm, I feel like that too, most of the time in fact.  But I don't eat  
out often enough that it's a problem.  Usually I can find something  
that's close enough to paleo that I'll eat, failing that I have no  
issue with not eating, unless I'm drinking.  I find that when there's  
a mixture of paleo and non-paleo foods around, everyone eats the  
sandwiches and mini pizzas before the chicken drumsticks and salad.

It just got warm here in the UK and (like every summer) my appetite  
for mashed root veg has been replaced by an appetite for fruit and  
chilled salad.  So if I was going to go low low low carb now would be  
the time.

Incidentally, does anyone else get a really dramatic change in  
appetite in hot weather?

Do you know if the cancer will die off?  Or will it just remain at its  
current size indefinitely?
