    A Whitney Brown also said "That is the saving grace of humor, if you fail no one is laughing at you. "

    Eskimos (PC=Inuit) eat (ate) meat and fat almost exclusively. They didn't have weight, constipation or any other dietary problems.

    So, if you're going for a meat only diet, make sure you also eat fat. One experiment showed that without the fat, dietary problems did occur.

    Have tried Atkins, I was amazed at a) how quickly I lost weight, and b) how much I craved potatoes and bread.

    I didn't fight my way to the top of the food chain so I could gorge myself on tofu.

    A friend of mine once said "I'm not vegetarian becuse I love animals. I'm vegetarian because I hate plants."

    Given the choice between the two I think you did the right thing.

    Thanks, it's good to be back. No, I didn't go for the Porsche in the end, in an attempt to try and be slightly more sensible I opted to lease a new BMW 3 series coupe instead:

    No complaints so far really, it's a nice car, but it's length can be less than ideal at times for parking and manoeuvring, maybe I should have opted for the Audi TT in hindsight.

    Human beings have mainly the traits of herbivores, in that we don't sweat through our tongues like carnivores, we have alkaline saliva, our teeth are of a different structure (no sharp front teeth and claws) and, as referenced previously in this thread carnivores don't need fibre to help move food through the digestive tract.

    I am an omnivore by the way, in case you thought I was a herbivore, so I do eat meat, this topic just reminded me of an article I read recently so thought I'd share.

    Ah yes, the "INSSA" condition. Otherwise known as to have a "Guinessh!t"!

    2) Vegetarian: I felt so extraordinarily sleepy that I could barely stagger to the local organic supermarket to buy my vegetables. Why, I wondered, did my friends who lived on pizza, pasta and hamburgers look so much healthier than me?
    3)Breatharian:I dont need food, I can live on fresh air
