Yes you burn more fat by staying lower because exceeding the MAF rate puts you into the sugar burning zone.

Thanks, How does one arrive at their own max heart rate and what has that got to do with vo2 max?

Thanks, Volek & Phinney of course! Those guys rock

I'm using Phil Maffetone's 180 formula. Since he regularly works with fat burning athletes I'm assuming its a good place to start

I tested 1/2 hour after my run.

Chicory tea is a great liver cleanser and caffeine free

Getting lots of vitamin K by eating a lot of great preservative free liverwurst from a local German butcher shop. YUM!!!!

This protein thing has really got me doing a lot of reading and along the way I ran into this on insulin load calculation which accounts for excess protein as suffer. Pretty cool: https://optimisingnutrition.com/2016/05/02/insulin-load-the-greatest-thing-since-carb-counting/

I'd get a second opinion from a integrative physician. Docs are notorious for mis reading lab work. I've been primal fat adapted for a few years and my cholesterol lab results read "high" but when I look at the actual details it's the good cholesterol that is high and the triglycerides are very low so WTF! So I totally…

have you seen this?

Great point, for me cheese is a special occasion food and then only goat cheese.

Good point. I'm down about 70# without this information and stuck at about 10# away from my ideal weight and body fat % so I'm looking for fine tuning to the LCHF program.

This is the Dr Rosedale article that actually sent me down the rabbit hole of rethinking my protein %. It's very ironic because it was Dr Rosedale who originally sent me down the LCHF trail in the first place.

What is "HWC?"

Yeah I had to play with the formula as well. Try this (carbs-fiber)+(.56*protein)

Thanks everyone! Been thinking about getting one and now I'm headed to Walmart to get one.

Here is a great little article is was reading just this morning. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2016/05/07/too-much-protein-triggers-aging-cancer.aspx?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=facebookmercola_lead&utm_campaign=20160507_too-much-protein-triggers-aging-cancer

It sounds like you realize that a high protein diet is really a high sugar diet because of gluconeogenisis. The problem is that what is that protein needs vary greatly from person to person. So you might be best off to "stop guessing and start testing." You can get a glucometer very cheap at a drug store and check your…

Run for your life! At a comfortable pace, and not too far: James O'Keefe at TEDxUMKC https://youtu.be/Y6U728AZnV0

Thanks!

Take a tip from the best triathletes in the world like Mark Allen, Mike Pigg etc. The 220-your age formula as way to high of a training heart rate because it puts you into chronic cardio sugar burning mode. Training at 180-your age, builds a solid aerobic base which will give you more speed and endurance while reducing…

Ketonix sells a backup battery

I've used the ketonix devise often and it's really been great for learning how my body reacts to different foods. My wife also uses it and it is fasting ting how we can eat the same things and have different reactions. The lesson I've learned is that I'm more insulin resistant than I ever dreamed so keeping my carbs under…

I had the same problem, it was all gut biome related

I use it a lot!

Sounds like a gut flora problem

Interesting, btw... When I've emailed Maffetone in the past I've gotten a response within about 4 days. Pretty imprssive.

Not necessarily a bad idea. Here is a nice TED talk about the effects of over exercising: http://youtu.be/Y6U728AZnV0

I think all these guys agree that periodic interval training is just fine.
