Subject: A few random thoughts

1) I've been experimenting of late -- as I am wont to do.  I've never been a coffee drinker, so I am a virgin laboratory in that sense.  I started with good, whole bean, single source coffee.  The result has been interesting.  Dry cough, itchy, almost rashlike skin, and something I'd never before even experienced: gastric reflux.  Add bad sleep to that and it's been an outright disaster.

2) Man, Dr. Eades sure has been blogging like crazy lately.  Make sure to get over and read his blog posts.  They're invaluable.

3) Speaking of Dr. Eades, I just bought the following book from Amazon: _The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living_ by Volek and Phinney.  It was highly, highly recommended by Eades -- he said it was much better than the book he and Mary Dan wrote.  Can't wait to crack it open.  (Some of you may remember that Phinney is the guy who created the study that showed that exercise does NOT require dietary carbohydrate).

4) I am starting a zero carb, limited protein (100g/day), unlimited fat experiment today.  In addition to eggs and bacon for breakfast, I'll consume a pound of grassfed burger daily.  I'll also be eating a romaine lettuce and lemon juice salad just for a little taste variety (and to make my wife feel better that I'm getting at least some greens).  Will try and let you know how that goes.

Cheers.

Jim
