Thank you for answering a few of my questions.  I find it very intesting
to see people live by ideas like I had them for some time.  I come from
a family of diabetics and my son and me both have hypoglyceamia.  Also I
suffer from Reiters disease (a form of arthritis) and  the GP is
thinking about ME (chronic fatigue syndrome) as well.
So you can imagine that even a carbs junk like me thinks it should be
enough by now.  What you said about cravings is very true.  I either do
not eat a cookie or the entire pack of thim.  The moment it hits my
blood I start going bananas and eat the whole lot of them.
In the last couple of years I have gotten enormously overweight, we are
talking elephant woman here.  From esthetic point of view I don't care
at all but it hurts to walk the dog nowadays.
What I wonder about is what to eat instead of the usual diet.  You give
a few examples and I would like to know what you vary it with.  Also I
don't eat pork so would that mean limitation to beef?  Or is poultry
allowed as well?   I'd say it would be fairly easy for our ancestors to
get hold of  a pheasant or something and harder maybe to get beef.   I
wouldn't be able to eat eggs every day in the morning, what would make a
hearty breakfast as well?  And when you have meats for lunch is that
with vegetables?
Dates could be found dried overhere, is only fresh good or would dried
wothout syrup do as well?

I've tried looking for books on this subject here in Holland but there
is harldly anything to be found here.  So again any info on the subject
would be appreciated.

Thanks Christy
