The low carb diet doesn't need any further study. It is proven over thousands of years as being healthy. Over many unknown centuries the Eskimos of the north lived very well with zero carbohydrates most of the year. Likewise, the American Indians of the plains lived mostly on a diet of pemmican which was dried buffalo meat mixed with fat. This combination was 70% fat on a calorie basis.

The 6000 year old remains of a woman recently found in England showed by a special bone test that her diet was basically all meat.

These people on average had a shorter life span because of the many risk factors mentioned above. However, many lived to very old age as can be seen in very early pictures of the plains Indians.

The hazard of eating a high carbohydrate diet is being proven before our eyes throughout all of the English speaking nations. In the same manner, the Egyptians mummies show similar problems with diabetes and heart disease as we do. They ate a very high carbohydrate diet of grains and fruits.

The Paleo peoples of northern latitudes had very little or no fruit, grains and nuts available for most of the year and then only in a short season. The lies abound in Paleo books and one should question everything. The most common lie is that they ate a lean diet because wild meat is lean. The truth is wild animals have layers of fat that was favored by all known primitive tribes in recent history. The Paleo people would not like lean mean any more than I do. I buy the cuts with the most fat because it just tastes better. Paleo people would have made the same decision because they weren't suffering from the modern day "fat phobia syndrome."

LC has restored my health. That is all the proof I need.
