DORI:
>Glucose harder to achieve by wild game?  Puh-LEEZE!

JUSTIN:
Dori, I disagree with this.  It is also the reason why I choose a higher
carb, higher protein, lower fat paleo mix of foods.  Wild game, don't get me
wrong, is a very healthy food, but it is *not* a good source of glucose.
The body cannot construct glucose from the animal fat, only from the animal
protein - and this is not an efficient conversion.

On a side note, this debate seems to developing into a meat vs. paleo vegan
debate and what's better.  IMO, this is like a piano player debating the
quality of black vs. white keys.  I use them both.  I eat meat, vegies, and
fruit.  This way I get protein, fat, and glucose.  As far as which one is
better, I don't think it matters b/c ideally a person would be eating all of
these foods.

And as far as ratio (carbs/protein/fat), that will be a genetic
determination, so one specific ratio won't fit everyone.  Dori obviously has
achieved great results with a higher meat, lower carb diet.  Amaedus is the
other way around.  I respond well to eating both in a balanced ratio.  This
diet the works best for me, but will not necessary work best for Dori or
Amaedus.

Justin
