Paleothin mentions that he's eaten a pound of bacon every day
for years (I assume he drains off most of the fat but I have
no clue how much) so clearly he eats plenty of fat+protein
calories every day, and he's maintained a thin body for years.
Are there other similar data points?

I don't drain the fat but I do soak out the sugar in cold water.
To go extreemly low-carb, one must eat a large amount of fat. Protein
intake of over 39% ( by calories) will produce protein toxcity.

for info about low-term low carbing see:
Shaper, A. G. et al,
"Cardiovascular studies in the Samburu tribe of Northern Kenya."
American Heart Journal Vol. 63 No. 4 (April 1962) 437-442.

The Sambura ( a Tutsi tribe)have been a very low carb diet for
centuries. They traditionally eat no vegetable foods and get 65% of
their calories from animal fat. They are extremely thin and have the
lowest average cholesterol of any people ever studied. They are also
notable for both their lack of cardiovascular disease and that their
cholesterol levels go down with age ( unlike any other population).

| Penelope,
|
| I've been on a perpetual low-calorie, low-fat diet for years now.
| Before I started Atkins, I used to have just one meal a day - dinner -
| and my calorie intake has been about 1000-1200 calories for atleast a
| few months now (ofcourse excluding weekend/occasional binges, because
| I was on a self-devised, unplanned diet "plan").
|
| I've tried to maintain that calorie range because I thought my body is
| used to it. I have realized now, that eating just one meal a day
| causes the body to slow down metabolism and store more fat instead and
| am eating 3 regular meals.
|
| Regarding my water intake, I usually drink atleast 3-4 1.8 FLOZ (1L,
| 1QT) bottles of water, if not more, but I'll try to increase it
| further.
|
| Regarding my exercise habits - I usually work out thrice a week -
| about 30 mins on the treadmill at 5-6mph - it usually works out to
| about 3 miles. This is followed by stretches, benddown exercises,
| pushups and a few weights/dumbbells for 20-30 mins. My treadmill reads
| about 300 calories at the end of the jog with my weight.
|
| Ernie,
|
| Yeah, I've realized measuring weight/Ketostix 5 times a day leads to
| frustration
| more than anything else. I'll cut down gradually, I'm kinda addicted
| right now

||
|| If you're only getting 15-17g of carbs daily, you are probably not

||
|| Tell us about your exercise habits?
||
|| Peace,

Drinking tons of extra water is a myth that doesn't help weight loss.
Except perhaps as a psychological placebo for thoe who really believe it
does. It's left-over thinking from the low-fat diet that didn't provide
enough mositure, and for some reason people don't want to let go of it.
Meat is 70% water and vegetables are 90+% water. If we drink when we are
thirsty our bodies are getting all the water they need on a low-carb way of
eating.
