Hi Paleo Phil,

Thank you for your diet ingredients!:

Paleophil:
I eat meats, fish, vegetables, fruits, nuts & seeds.

Me:
That is what I eat except not many vegetables and some nuts and seeds 
give me problems.

PaleoPhil:
I eat as much as I can
>because I want to gain weight.

Me:
I eat as much as I can but my pants are getting tight. Maybe I am 
just eating too much? I didn't think that would be possible eating 
paleofood tho'...?

Paleo Phil:
>  I don't eat as much animal fat as several
>people do on this list, in part because I don't care for the taste or mouth
>feel of it,

Me:
My pemmican has the consistency of milk chocolate. You might like 
that.. For me it is addictive.

Phil:
>though I do add plenty of olive, flax and fish oils to keep the
>fat levels up.

Me:
I eat lots of fat and have to avoid flax oil because flax oil gives 
me cracks at the corners of my mouth. Here is an article that I found 
when I googled 'flax side effects'.

Phil:
I didn't have full-fledged bunions, just some overlapping small toes,

Me:
Before I started eating grain free, I had underdeveloped baby toes 
with only a bit of nail. (There is a name for it that I believe is in 
Ron Hoggan's Dangerous Grains but all my copies are lent out.) After 
only a few years my toes are completely formed!

Regarding my bunions, I'm going to cut down on pemmican and see if 
gluttony is my problem.

Thank you again for your help!
