Even then in the early 1970's, ridge after ridge, mile after Mile it was a vastness of clear cuts. Living here on the Oregon coast it is almost like that. Maybe if you find a oak seedling, you can plant it near where you live. That's an act that has great import and maybe someone like you will rest under the spreading branches watching the sky on a summer day an appreciate what you did. Miles,

Acorn is higher in fat and lower in protein than other grains. Cooked Acorn meal: 9-10% fat, 3% protein, 30-40% Carbohydrate. “During Mankind’s capricious campaigns these past or three million years, it has been estimated that he has eaten more Acorn—pound for pound—than anything else that might have sustained him”

Paleo does not necessarily mean low-carb. But if you want to lose weight with paleo, you may want to go with the intersection of low-carb and paleo. That's what I'm doing.

California, Oregon, and further north as long as the garry oak's range extends. It seems like a high carb food - though it is wonderful, and seems paleo to me.

Fat can be converted to glucose, the isse many people have had with high-fat animal protein diets etc, in part has been the increase in free-radicals from the process. Nutrition is complicated itself, under our modern civilization>>but down the road it boils down to eating something that gets you through the day/week. Ideally varied amounts of colored veggies/foraging berries etc. The paleolithic diet should encourage many low glycyemic index foods, with a few of the berries that are higher in sugars, providing many anti-oxidants. The brain/body is quite good at creating neurotransmitters from just about any garbage a human puts in its body. Many of the basic brain nutrients, can function at a base level on fairly simplistic diet. This in itself can be considered an evolutionary advanatage, with maximization of the brain/body for those who can maintain the more varied diet, with appropriate levels of protein, including some Fatty-meats. I experimented with many diets when younger, to compete as a kickboxer, since its a difficult proposition to become very muscular & very lean without drugs, extreme dehydration and the like. The anabolic diet was one I tried for some time, and it worked pretty well for me, although It was psychologically difficult, and I got tired of eating steak & bacon (plus expensive).

Brain needs a lot of glucose to function and it can use nothing else as fuel. Ketosis, which Jason induced, involves breaking down stored fat to form glucose. The ketones you mentioned can power other parts of the body, and they do because glucose is so precious to the brain. If body could not convert fat to glucose, many people would starve.

Protien is a neccessary component for the liver to convert body fat <i>into</i> glucose. So keytones are produced during fasting (or lo-carb dieting) to fuel other other bodily systems, while reserving maximum protien reserves for gluconeogenesis to provide glucose for the brain, kidney, retina and red blood cells.

That is why the body goes into ketosis on low-carb diets. Ketone bodies are an alternative fuel source for the brain and red blood cells. Am I wrong?
