Well, I just finished reading Taube's book on my iPad. I'm traveling for business and didn't want to wait. I have to say that even though I was familiar with the concepts, his clear evidence based presentation of the topic has left an indelible impression.
No more second guessing or partially trying to do something that doesn't quite make a lasting change, as well as gaining the complete understanding of what has been happening with me since I first learned about carbohydrate addiction in 2002 after many previous failed attempts. I just got started on this approach with no dabbling or excuses. 20 net grams of carbs per day and all animal meats and fats. I was already gluten free since June and lost about 20 lbs but had plateaud since August due to all the gluten free carbs I was eating. Now the path is fully clear and my paradigm on the subject has been fully reshapen. What more can I say but thank Grant for bringing this up to my attention with his post? Thanks Grant!!! I'll still be purchasing a few books when you have them in stock to give to family and friends as gifts of life.
