On and off (off due mostly to financial concerns) for about 2 years. >>3) Which plan do you most closely follow Mostly Neanderthin. >>4) What have been your results - health >>improvements, weight loss, etc. Lost some excess weight (about 15 pounds); periods went from being a 4-times-a-year affair to pretty regular (with much less unwanted symptoms); hair and skin became much healthier and beautiful; moodiness and constant hunger almost vanished; lots of extra energy making me able to go without sleep/rest for incredible lengths when needed. >>5) Did you have any addictions when you started >>that were hard to kick; if >>so, how did you do it (cold turkey or slow >>withdrawal)??? Salty snacks are still a bit of a struggle to resist; i still smoke, other than that not much. >>6) Are there any "paleo foods" which you exclude >>from the diet because they >>don't work for you?
