I've read the Diets Don't Work book, as well as another on the same
topic, "Thin Within" by Judy Wardell.

And recently I've been attending a class by Lucy Beale Partridge based on
the same principles.  She has a website:  http://www.lucybeale.com
that people might find interesting.  At one point, explaining hypoglycemia,
she said that people with this problem need to eat more animal protein
and FAT!  I thought the other people in the class were going to fall off their
chairs from shock!  LOL!  Here is a woman in her 50s, with hypoglycemia and
hyperinsulinemia, and she looks really good: not emaciated but strong and
slim and healthy.  I told her about Neanderthin.  She's eating pretty close to
Paleo
already.  In the course of the classes I found some unsuspected emotional baggage
from my past that has been causing trouble for me in trying to lose weight.
