I don't doubt Taube's ideas work for some, even for many; what I doubt (from other things I have read and from what I simply have seen in NA, Europe, Asia and Africa) is that it contains the entire truth about nutrition and related health. Again, there is simply too much variety across the world and across history.
In particular, I discount the idea that exercising more will making you gain or at least keep you from losing weight, at least as a universal proposition; not my experience at all. I'm certainly glad that Taube's ideas worked for you. And of course, I admit, that were I to undertake a scholarly examination of the book, I'd have to read it first. But I did read and re-read all the Riv published on the subject On Fri, Aug 12, 2011 at 1:41 PM, Zack <zack...@gmail.com> wrote: > I would suggest reading the book.
