I think you can develop to some degree a "body intuition" about the right
mix and quantities of meats and (permitted)
plants to achieve your goal -- and
it could be individually determined. But this is still
NeanderThin. For example "a diet where I eat alot of meat and maybe a
banana or blueberries" -- well that could be a phase of NeanderThin --
not "another diet". Remember how NeanderThin tells you to regulate
(which, how much) plants -- and this regulation (variation)
is individual. I've seen comments about
being on NeanderThin but "eating alot of salads" -- this could be
totally wrong.

I'm always regulating the mix of types of
meats and types of (permitted) plants and call myself
neanderThin-pure.I might eat some eggplant or squash
instead of potato -etc. Since I had such dramatic results in body fat
elimination,
going back to eating any potato,grains,dairy
would have an adverse effect.
