Hi Mefisto:

I don't get the same reaction as you, but if I don't eat enough fat, I get that reactive-type hunger about 1 hour after eating. I've just recently read that adrenal stress can also cause these symptoms (apart from insulin), but I'm not sure where it all fits in yet.

I try to keep my fat intake at 100g/day. That's about 65-75% for me as well.

As for the blood type discussion, for whatever it's worth. I've been involved with professionals (an alternative doctor, nutritionist and allergy/intolerance tester) who believe strongly in blood type diets, based on what they've seen. However, the A-type diet also made me hypoglycemic, so I think the plan is still a work in progress. When Dr. D'Adamo addresses "insulin", it will be more rounded.

The site listed above endorses a low-fat, vegan diet and also describes the LC WOE as dangerous, so I think the info should be taken with a grain of salt. From what I've surmised, they haven't read the book. They quote sections, but they are taken out of context without an understanding of the book.
