I've found that it's totally possible to create low carb and high protein meals esp. if you plan ahead. This is a great book: http://www.amazon.com/Primal-Blueprint-Quick-Easy-Meals/dp/0982207743/ref=cm_lmf_tit_4 that I found where it's actually high protein and low carb. The carbs all come from veg. It has all of the…

Can you please expand on what you mean by 'basic biology'? The reason that I included links to multiple scientific studies as done by reputable sources was to help show that this is not an urban myth. I also brought up this point as hoping to have a larger discussion around weight loss methods in general. However, if we…

I would suggest investigating further before you jump to this type of claim. An excellent interview with a doctor here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoMc7_WDHXQ as well as a newly published research study from the National Institutes of Health might provide some insight into why this approach should not be discounted.…

You're not losing weight because you're eating the wrong things. Period. It's not so much about the calories as it doesn't seem that you're underrating for your height. (I would also double check that you are correctly logging quantities. I saw that you ate 4/5 of a pizza, but it was only logged as 270 calories. This is…

I think that it's less about specific 'foods' than simply sticking to a low carb diet and cutting back on sugars and salt. I've found that <85 g on days that I don't work out (or do something only like walking to work) and <150 g on days that I work out took care of excess belly fat quite quickly while still giving me…

Honestly, not much anymore with the food. The first few weeks of my low carb (under 80/ day and only from fruits and veg) and high protein diet were very difficult but I powered through and feel so much better now. I don't have an afternoon slump after lunch and my energy levels are much more stable. My frequent headaches…

I'm guessing that because you want to put it in tupperware you might be taking it to work? I've found that something as simple as 2 hardboiled eggs and a piece of fruit keeps me going strong until lunch. You could also add 1/4 cup of unsalted walnuts if you wake up feeling starving and those 2 things aren't cutting it!

I actually end up drinking 10-12 cups of water a day. I find it frustrating to try and drink large amounts at once, like with a meal because that can make me feel sick and digestion poor. One of the things that helped me was putting cucumbers or lemons in my water. I have a medium sized bottle that I also keep with me at…
