Talking about carbs has become akin to debating politics. I suggest you do your own research and come to your own conclusions, OP! And once you find what works for you - just do it, and don't talk about it, or you'll tear families apart :)

Take a look at this woman's website: eatlikeanormalperson.com She said a lot of things that make sense to me about diets, restriction, etc. As a person that has tried a few different things, I'm a huge fan. You have to read through it a few times to really "get" it...but it's allowed me to borrow from the best of all…

You people need to relax.

Don't get down. Depending on how you eat, a higher carb day (similar to what you get from Pizza/Ice Cream!) will result in water retention due to an increase in glycogen and the resulting water effect. I would recommend that you avoid those types of "cheat" foods, and focus on compromising a bit with your "treats". I look…

My wife is from Halifax...but I stole her and took her down to Atlanta!

It's all good OP...happens to anyone that grows in any way. And they get replaced with more positive friends. Life is a long staircase of progress for the lucky ones.

I run wellness programs for ISIS.

Right here...except I'm a dude...from Atlanta.

Be nice people... everyone wants positive attention. But OP....find it in other ways.

Protein powder is the best value with the least collateral caloric hit. I buy my protein on Amazon (ON Whey Protein). I avoid any artificial flavoring/sweetners, so I have to buy the boring Vanilla flavor since the rest are packed with those undesirables (I changed my life when I quit all diet sodas and the like). That…

Thanks, Buddy! Same to you.. Add me if you'd like. Cheers!

Just drop the alcohol for a month and see what happens. It has been huge for me, and eye opening from a slight dependency perspective. You realize how much you wanted it, and it's a bit troubling! And read about the effects of alcohol on your body and long term health objectives. Should be enough. Best of luck!

Thanks Man! After a minor injury a couple of years ago, I didn't realize I'd starting letting myself go. Was recently on a beach in Croatia and realized just how out of shape I'd gotten. Nothing fits! Haha. It could be worse... I have about 35lbs to lose... But I've never been this chubby. I also never measured food…

Add me and let's keep an eye on each other (not in a creepy way..)

1. Wake up 2. Pee 3. Poo 4. Wipe 5. Strip 6. Weigh 7. Shower 8. Shave 9. Slamdance

Eye on the prize with consistency over time!

You look great, and should be very proud. wish you the best.

OP, I've been on and off the primal/LCHF thing for a while. In a giant nutshell I'd just offer: -Until recently, I didn't really track what I ate formally. And when I started, it was clear that my mind had convinced me I was eating less and eating clean. I was probably off over 25%. Over time, our minds have a way of…
