It was almost a full list.

Here it is again: 3 meals, comprising any meats in any quantity,
except for processed or cured meats, which contain sugar.  At
each meal a non-meat "second course" is allowed (not required),
which consists of an "ordinary portion" of *one* of the
following: potatoes, rice, banana, pear, grapefruit (half), sweet
potatoes, blueberries, raspberries, grapes, watermelon.  You can
use butter or other oils.  Coffee and tea (without cream or
sugar) are permitted.  If you want alcohol, use only distilled
spirits.

That's the whole thing.  If you omit the potatoes, rice, and
coffee, and substitute coconut oil for the butter, it's paleo.

That's true.  Like Ray and Troy, Anchell insists that calories
don't matter; I remain skeptical.  The omission of eggs is
incomprehensible, although he specifically says that they will
interfere with weight loss on this plan.

It's always interesting to compare notes.  If it works, maybe we
can figure out *why* it works.
