Re: Lutz restricted carbs?

[Guest guest]

All this talk about carbs has made we wonder about the "caveman" diet. What did early man consume the most of? Protein, fat, carbs? It seems like fruit would have been something they would have eaten a lot of (while in season, of course). Same with honey. It seems like when they came across it, they would have filled up on it. I've read that our craving for sugar is a built in instinct left over from the caveman days. I wonder how much they actually consumed?Good point Holly. I'll bet they ate a ton while it was in season! Probably tasted a heck of a lot better than meat , IMO anyways. I can't think of any veggies I see randomly growing it the wild though....probably were back then though. I doubt they got any carbs from grains, sugar, or lactose though =) Pour Dieu, pour terre,Alyssa =D

In my back yard, I've been trying to kill off wild garlic, wild

carrots, and wild horseradish for almost 25 years. No matter how

much of it I pull every year, the next year they are back. So this

year I've been cutting the tender stems of the wild garlic and using

it to flavor salads, soups, and salad dressings.

I often wonder how we all would survive if we had to live off the

land. It might be fun to read a book or two or take a class on local

edible plants.

And then, of course, there are the blackberries. Bless their thorny

little souls ... they are the only thing holding up my fence.

Well, I'm glad they're finally of some use to you!I often wonder how we all would survive if we had to live off the land. It might be fun to read a book or two or take a class on local edible plants.I've always wanted to do that! Ever since I learned about the Appalachian Trail, I've wanted to hike it SO bad. I love camping and backpacking, and unfortunately haven't been able to go in a while because, well, SCD. Ugh. So I'd LOVE to learn how to live off the land!!! Obviously I couldn't do it right now, but when I'm all healed and can eat anything legal, it would be cool =)And then, of course, there are the blackberries. Bless their thorny little souls ... they are the only thing holding up my fence.Lol! That made me laugh =) There are huge blackberry bushes at the beach house we visit, and it blows me away how so many different creatures live happily surrounded by brutal thorns.Hannah Pour Dieu, pour terre,Alyssa =D

And the wild garlicbulb is edible and is good as natural anti bacterial. Mara
