There are no cookies. Ergo it is not the diet plan for me.

It is hard to read this over the bowl of cereal I am eating...
But it looks like a good day. Is there a particular *reason* you want to be low carb??? Do you not like bread? Maybe you haven't had the right kind. I know a lot go good bakeries
:flowerforyou:

I don't approve of paleo, but just wanted to add that it isn't necessarily low carb, it's just easier to sell a plan with a good story to tell.I was under the impression that carbohydrates are brain fuel. I could be wrong, though.
Glucose is brain fuel.
The body can generate glucose from protein via gluconeogenesis in the absence of adequate carbohydrates. All vital functions, including the brain, that require glucose will receive it on even the lowest carb programs, or in the total absence of food. The rest of your functions, the majority, are fueled by ketones.
Whilst it's true, your body can do this, it's an intense process for it to do. This is generally why I'm "against" paleo-type diets... supply doesn't keep up with demand, and therefore your glycogen stores (particularly in the muscles) are always seriously depleted.
It doesn't matter if all you're doing is walking.0 -

Not a theory. Science. That's how every weight loss diet works. I'm not talking a few weeks of water loss, then a calorie deficit from cutting carbs, which is how a lot of diets that cut out carbs works.
Very simplified science, it doesn't take in to account how your body reacts to different types of foods and how it impacts the fat metabolism. There are many variables which might impact calorie in and calorie out theory depending on your body. In broad sense, yes you can apply first law of thermodynamics and say calories are important but its very small part of the overall picture.

What works for others may not work for some one else despite eating same calories, the secret is figuring out what works.

And its not the same. I bought the mix the last time I was there, and it was good, but its more delicious there.
And the coffee!!0 -
This Little Debbie's oatmeal pie is soooo good right now.
oops were we talking low carb? I dont know what that is0 -
Anti-low carb?

Not only healthy but delicious, filling, and an effective way to lose weight.
Breakfast - 3 egg omelet with spinach and green peppers
Morning snack - 23 almonds (1 oz)
Lunch - 6 oz roast salmon, large romain and tomato salad with 3 tbsp caesars dressing
Afternoon snack - 2 slices salami and 1 oz cheddar cheese
Dinner - 2 roasted chicken thighs with skin, 1 cup roasted cauliflower and 1 cup roasted broccoli with olive oil and parmesan
Desert - 1/2 cup of full-fat greek yogurt with 2 squares of 90% cocoa dark chocolate
Calories - 2000 Net carbs 28g, Protein 111g, Fat 154g
If you are smaller than I am (200 lbs) and need less calories, make it a 2-egg omelet, 4oz salmon, 1 chicken thigh, a little less veg/salad dressing and you can easily get under 1500. To get to around 1300 cut out a snack or desert
Your "desert" is not an actual dessert. I would switch that for the afternoon snack, then have a real dessert.0 -

Actual desserts have sugar, which isn't really allowed on this plan.0 -
ya this is great and everything but I'm not about to get stressed out because I have to avoid certain foods. Great for those who can do it, but it's just not sustainable for me and there are too many foods I would be missing out on.0

However, the vast majority of the 70million obese Americans are insulin resistant.
This sounds like propaganda from the paleo folks.0 -
I think you should probably just eat however you please, let everyone else eat however they please, and avoid claiming that there is only one way of 'doing it right'.
You'll probably find that the arguments vanish miraculously. No one gives a turd how you personally eat, we just get upset when it's claimed that certain nutrients and/or foods must be excluded for good health.0 -

meh
Looks pleasant enough, bit too much meat for my taste and it'd get pretty boring. If it works for you then that's fine.
Think I'll stick with eating what works for me...0
