No that it's mid may I've got to start looking for jobs.  Most of
the jobs I like have pre-emplyment physicals as a prerequisite for getting
hired.  I tested my ketone levels with ketostix because I accidently ate
some (4) forbiden banana chips (refined white sugar was the second
ingredient).  It showed 80 (High Ketosis) before lunch, so I had a
watermellon quarter for lunch and a salad for dinner.  A few hours after
dinner the level was at 50 (Moderate Ketosis).
        My question is, do I tell the doctor, "I'm on a diet the FDA would
throw a shit over - no grains or dairy," and if not, will the result,
"shows high levels of ketone bodies in urine, indicative of diabetes or
starvation" get me canned?  I've let two prospective employers know
already (Dishwashing: "I'm on a grain free, high meat diet, so I do the
dishwashing in my house because I make the most mess cooking," and
Warehouse, "Last year I wouldn't even consider applying for a job like
this, but I'm on a low carb, high protien diet that works best in
conjunction with anabolic excersize such as this job consists of.")
        I know that NeanderThin isn't a quack diet because I'm a
historian, and I have learned that high civilizations ride in on
agriculture and war, and burn out the land and themselves with agriculture
and war.  Audette's complex simplicity is easy to see, but hard to grasp
independantly.  What you can't get, you don't need.  Why drink milk?  Why
eat bread?  Can't get it, don't need it!  Unfortunately, I fear that many
doctors have no intuitive knowledge of the human body (like the one who
told my anorexic brother to take some vitamen supliments with a bowl of
ice cream).
