Mary,

        One thing I hated about almost all other diets was that I was supposed
to weigh things, and look up values (fat or carbs or calories, ad
nauseum).  One of the attractions of a meat-based diet, and, ultimately,
a paleo diet, is that I can eat what I want (within a limited range of
food), eat til satiety, and not worry about it.  So, I don't really
know how many carbs I eat.  On good days, close to none.  On most days,
less than 20, I would guess.  Some days -- mexican food days :) -- the
corn tortillas probably push me past 100 carbs.

        I don't get a racing heart.  When I started this diet, at 370 lbs, my
resting heart rate was an amazing 133 beats per minute.  This morning,
it checked out at 77 beats per minute.  I attribute this to daily
racquetball sessions and some walking/running.

        I have experienced, lately, some incongruous bouts of anger.  I
attributed that to other sources, but a post here recently makes me
wonder if it could be diet related.
