        There are these things called "ketostix" that can messure it for
you.  48 hours of no non-animal foods is enough for most people.  But I
wouldn't jumpt right into it.  You are going to be changing the "gear" of
your digestive system from carbohydrate rich foods to fat and meat.  That
means your pancreas and gall bladder are going to have to change driver's
seats.  Ease your way into it by eating "normal" for Neanderthin.  You
may find you don't -want- any fruits or veggies some days, and want three
banana's the next.

        Teflon works for me.  Helps you get excersize after breakfast
washing the crud off the pan anyway.

        When I start, it's going to be pemmican.  One patch of Pemmican
(2 lbs) should last me three weeks (1/4 pound cakes).  I guess a bag of
roast beef should be O.K.  Just remember not to make a meal out of fruit.
