Betty,

You must of read my mind, I had the same thought.  What did the primitives
know about "excessive carb intake"  They ate what was plentiful when it was
plentiful and sometimes that was fruit/berries and sometimes that would have
been only animal products.

But what do I know.....Ray?

     I don't understand what the problem is with eating several fruits at one
time.  If the purpose of the diet is to eat the way primitive man has eaten
to be as healthy as possible,  why would you care if you over indulge on
apples or bananas or any other fruit.  These fruits are in supply only
certain times of the year and certainly our predecessors would have feasted
on them when they were available.
     I may be wrong but if the food is the right food to eat it seems to me
that the quantity is irrelevant.

 What does Ray say about this ?
