Even Orangutans in the rain forest don't eat a high carb diet for most of
every year.  Recent studies ( see International Journal of Primatology
citation in bibliography on my web site) have shown that they are in ketosis
for at least half of every year when high-carb fruits are not in season.  In
regions that had a temperate climate during the Pleistocene ( many of which
are tropical today )this effect would be even more pronounced.  Several
recent bone isotope studies have confirmed that early Homos ate a
predominately meat and animal fat diet.

For more on the advantages of a Paleolithic meat based over a plant based
diet read:

Mark Cohen and G.J. Armelos
"Paleopathology at the Origins of Agriculture"
New York: Academic Press, 1984

This book describes how to differentiate a Neolithic grave site from a
Paleolithic site by the evidence of degenerative disease found in people who
eat the diet you advocate.  I hope this gets you to eat meat - a billion
pig's lives are dependent on our eating bacon.  Please don't make "Babe"
extinct!  ( Pardon my dig on the eating disorder known in the U.S. as Bambi
Syndrome ).
