Happy holidays everyone.  I've gotten my friend interested in starting a
paleo-type diet.  He primarily wants to lose weight (45 pounds)and increase
his energy.  I gave him my copy of Neanderthin which states only eat
veggies that could be eaten raw.  The problem is -- he loves artichokes and
insists that they shouldn't hurt.  My feeling is that artichokes are
relatively high in carbs, can cause bloating and will certainly not help
his weight-loss efforts.  Anyone have opinions on artichokes?
