Carb Dieting Secrets
5. NeanderThin Diet
Ray Audette, the author of NeanderThin touts his diet as a way to “Eat
like a caveman to achieve a lean, strong, healthy body”. At the
tender age of 33, Audette suffered from rheumatoid arthritis and
diabetes. After hearing from doctors that his condition was
treatable but not curable, Audette decided to undertake nutritional
research to find a better cure.
His research led him to adopt a “Paleolithic”, hunter-gatherer diet,
like that eaten by our human ancestors before they settled in agrarian
societies. Within one week, his blood sugar levels were normal
and after one month he had lost 25 pounds, his arthritic pain was
relieved and he noticed improved muscle tone.
According to Audette, our Paleolithic ancestors where much healthier
and lived longer, healthier lives than our agrarian Neolithic
ancestors. He states that Neolithic man was shorter, had poorer
dental health and was prone to obesity than Paleolithic man.
Women also began to menstruate earlier and have more children closer
together causing population increases that further encouraged agrarian
lifestyles.
He suggests that modern man should become modern hunter-gathers by
eliminating foods that need human intervention to become edible.
These foods include milk, grains, beans, potatoes, alcohol and
sugar. Grains include all wheat, corn, rice, oats, barley, and
rye. He also subscribes to the theory that these carbs produce
cravings and warns that if they are consumed they will cause eventual
binging.
Audette’s rule of thumb is that if a fruit or vegetable is edible raw
without processing, then it is safe in the NeanderThin diet. He
explains that many vegetables, like potatoes, are actually poisonous if
not properly stored and treated with fungicide. He further
encourages eating fruits when they are in season and limiting winter
intake of fruit to help the body burn stored fat.
He gives Ten Commandments. Condensed, they are:
Do eat: meats and fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds,
berries
Don’t eat: grains, beans, potatoes, dairy, and sugar

Staying Healthy on a Low Carbohydrate Diet
by: Marjorie Geiser
It is estimated that about 32 million Americans are following some type of low carbohydrate diet. This is the result of fad diet authors claiming that carbohydrates are the cause for America’s rising obesity problems. The backlash against carbohydrates is a result of the low fat craze that started in the 80’s.When consumers started cutting down their fat intake, manufacturers figured out that they could create low fat processed food products that the public would buy. Because these products claimed to be ‘fat free’, Americans didn’t pay attention to the fact that they were not also ‘calorie free’, and as a result, the total amount of daily calories has slowly been increasing.
