Since the abbreviation EFA designates the omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated "essential fatty acids", I'm guessing you just meant my overall fat to protein ratio. In any event, you're dead wrong on this point. I was *very* careful to keep my fat intake high. Whatever the problem was, it wasn't that.

Words like "addicted" get thrown around loosely. I'm not sure where you're going with this. If your point is that some people who don't do so well on ZC do better with some carbs, then yes, I agree.

I don't think so. My experience is my experience, and doesn't create a standard for others.

Sorry, but your experience isn't normative either. You are one person, with one set of experiences, just as I am one person, with one set of experiences. The difference is that you believe that your experiences are normative for the entire human race.
