Thanks for your input on the fruit-for-a-week idea. It may work for
some people but I suspect my body would be one of the sensitive ones.

Larelle,
<<In my experience these type of diets prime the body for putting on
lots of weight afterwards.>>

Thanks very much for your post and explanation of what happened with
your macro diet-- exactly the kind of anecdotal thing I was looking
for. And welcome to the Paleo list too!

Thanks Ilya. That comment has spooked me again into opening my blinds
during the day even though I like it a bit dark... declining light
levels are so much associated with winter, and I'm trying to remember
to look at a host of instinctual clues for the body-- not just what we
eat-- 'cause it's definitely not the whole story.

Best,

Donna
