Order what you want and leave a generous tip for the wait staff.

I eat a real food, low carb diet also. I love my food choices and I especially love how I am never overly hungry.

Take cauliflower and chop it up in the food processor. Use as a substitute for rice.

Nuts are good in the morning. I like Almonds.

I don't think I missed the point at all. I wrote: "I think one of the problems with trying to pin it down to one set of symptoms is that there isn't just one set of symptoms that can indicate systemic inflammation."

This is an interesting article on inflammation. Unfortunately, he does not cite his sources. http://www.marksdailyapple.com/how-to-tell-if-youre-inflamed-objective-and-subjective-inflammatory-markers/#axzz3YtgWDG1a One of the things that struck me is the following statement: "Ultimately, though? It comes down to the simple…

Turkey wing and cauliflower fried rice.

You all win. Sugar is FANTASTIC!

The link did say exactly what you said.

The person said she had less inflammation, not less heart disease.

People don't need a scientific study that something works on an entire population to know whether something works for them. Metabolism and body chemistry are highly individualized. I know that cutting carbs helps me lose weight. I don't need it to work for everyone. I only need it to work for me. That is not the same thing…

I don't know that it does. But I don't know that it doesn't either.

Really? Someone has a positive comment about themself and you can't just be happy for them? You need "proof".

It seems to be pretty reliable. http://www.webmd.com/heart-disease/guide/heart-disease-c-reactive-protein-crp-testing

But there doesn't need to be scientific evidence that something works for an individual if it works for that individual. Saying something works for HER doesn't mean it works for everyone.

How do you know whether sugar has something to do with it or not?

You may not know about yours but would you say that a person who says they know about theirs is lying? That is what is being done here. A person made a claim about having less inflammation when eating less sugar and was told that she couldn't know that. But that is not true. Inflammation has markers and it can be tested.…

I have been that person who thinks that all you should have to do is work out and you will lose weight. I also know tons of people who think that they will lose weight if they run after work or whatever.

She probably knows quite a bit about her body chemistry and metabolism. Don't you know about yours? When you make positive (or negative) changes don't you notice a difference in how you feel or in your bloodwork?

I think activity is important for many reasons. It improves insulin resistance, it increases muscle mass which burns more calories even at rest. It makes your heart stronger. It makes your muscles stronger and helps counteract muscle loss as you age. However, people who think that adding exercise is some sort of magic…

The person who posted the comment wrote: "As far as sugar goes, from personal experience, and this is based on my body chemistry and my metabolism, avoiding processed sugar has amazing positive effects. I have more energy, less inflammation, less water retention, clearer thinking, and a more positive outlook on life. Would…

Do the math. If someone walks at 3.5 mph for an hour they burn roughly 200 cal per hour. So if a person walks 4 hours a week that adds up to about 800 cal per week. If that same person walks for 7 hours a week it adds up to 1400 cal per week. That would translate to burning a pound of fat in 2.5-4 weeks. Exercise is good…

Folks-the post said 100 instead of 1000. 100 mL is about 3 oz.
