I'll take your word for it, Todd.  Tone is hard to convey in email, and I
do not intend to sound "holier than thou."  But my experience has been that
when I eat at a moderate pace and stop eating when I'm full, then I don't
gain weight, regardless of the caloric content or fat composition of the
paleo foods I'm consuming.  On the other hand, if I really like a food and
want to eat it just to eat it -- pork rinds on almond butter's the perfect
example -- then I start to gain.  But it doesn't take too long until
overindulgence in a certain food makes me feel ill.  That's just me; I do
appreciate you sharing your experience.
