What I am concerned is that if I adopt this regimen, and follow it for a long time (think 50 years), would I hurt myself in any way?That seems a bit too radical for me. It seems counterintuitive that one could live a long life on a radical diet.
Low carb is only a "radical" diet in comparison to the extreme high carb diet the Department of Agriculture has recently indoctrinated us with.
Restricting sugars and starches while eating healthy vegetables and meats was normal for most of history. I lost 65lbs and am keeping it off while eating more high vitamin vegetables than I ever have before.
I never feel more than a healthy appetite stimulating hunger, unless I foolishly eat too many (50+) carbs at a restaurant.

You see, I pretty much don't eat starches, except that on some days (4/week or so) I eat one slice of bread. The rest I do get from vegetables, and I eat very little fruit. I have a thing for tomatoes, always did. So, this is really not the issue about me giving up starches, all that much -- although to some extent, it is.

I believe tomatoes are supposed to contain some excellent, anti-cancer nutrients, so go for it. -- nimue
