Yes, I agree, I was telling my old Endo about it,  he says,  *oh yes, a
reducing diet, well don't stay on it for too long*  My new Endo, of the
last 8 months) encourages it!  He is on what he calls the Bible diet.
Has been for 15 years.  Its the same as Neanderthin, just a different
name.  The only difference is he adds unleavened bread once a day.  I am
like Bob, I have given away 2 copies of Neanderthin, the book just sits
on their shelf.   I did however talk my friend into just giving up bread
for 5 days.  Her stomach bloat went away and she didn't look pregnant
anymore.  She is still convinced she needs bread to sustain life.  LOL
