I've ordered it.<br /><br />I've written a few column on Paleo. My interest is from somewhat of a distance, though, since I am very carbohydrate intolerant. And I do eat some dairy. But I have to avoid the so-called 'good carbs.'<br /><br />If you haven't seen them, my Paleoo-related columns are 17 - 20, 38 - 39, and 54. You can access them through the Index of Columns (upper right hand corner of the blog) to see the titles and then either scroll down or Google the title (with my name?).<br /><br />I've also written a column on digestion (53) which is interesting. The gall bladder, btw, only stores and concentrates bile; it is produced in the liver. Also, if bile does not break down the dietary fat, it's not clear to me how the fat cells get into the lymph system and then into the blood and tissue. But, that's what I will learn from the book, among other things. <br /><br />Btw, here's an interesting line from the Wike on the gall bladder: "In 2009, it was proposed that the gallbladder can produce several pancreatic hormones, including insulin."danbrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119737446791634173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7410445500476013619.post-13949039918425815282012-10-23T00:03:49.699-04:002012-10-23T00:03:49.699-04:00Dan, I've had a terrible time keeping my weigh...Dan, I've had a terrible time keeping my weight from creeping up for the past year or so. I did NOT increase carbs, I was very careful what I ate, kept very good records (yes, I'm probably OC) but to no avail. Just recently I read Primal Body, Primal Mind by Nora Gedgaudas. It's a great book, but I read something there that I hadn't considered before: people who no longer have their gallbladders can't really digest fat properly. I have no gallbladder. So all my effort to eat a high fat, reduced calorie diet was probably in vain. Gedgaudas suggested taking ox bile capsules. I got some and within a week I lost the 5 or so pounds of chub I could really feel. That's just been 3 weeks now and I've lost maybe 2 more pounds. We'll see what happens in the long run. I have to wonder, though, how bile from a cow has the proper stuff to digest the fat in a carnivore's diet. Good wishes with your present diet, I know so well how disappointing it is to gain back weight despite your good efforts, and the fear that it will all come back no matter what you do.
