If I didn't make it clear, I think that weight gain is rather
slower on Neanderthin than on other diets I have tried, in that
the caloric "ceiling" appears to be raised somewhat.  This
appears to be true in general for carb-limited diets, just as
their proponents assert.  The control of insulin really does seem
to slow the weight-gain phenomenon.

I have not ever experienced rapid weight gain after ingesting
small amounts of forbidden fruit.  Substantial amounts of certain
forbidden fruits do cause indigestion, but that is another
matter.
