I am pretty sure mine is accessible, but it is on the FitDay. Anyone knows how to link that?

I was like that 2 years ago, that's why I went paleo before going primal. It took me forever to develop taste for fats. Have you ever dry-roasted chicken or baked a whole salmon with butter? That's where I started. I know Whole 30 doesn't allow butter, but if you can't stand other fats, I think you will be better off…

Well, zut, was recovering from dental surgery and nothing felt good but Greek Yogurt. Slip up number 1. Will do better today.

What are your macros, caloric intake, how much you are losing per week, and if you are maintain, how long you have maintained? What is your training regimen? How much you sleep? How do you select your foods? Have you tried: grain/sugar/starches/processed foods elimination intermittent fasting or ESE, Warrior Diet etc…

I don't want to defy your GP, but even the cardiologist that started the whole saturated fat /cholesterol = heart disease craze re-counted his statements recently. So, again, natural fats from meats and fish are not thought to be the killers presently. But, you know, how they flip-flop on that. I guess, you might want to…

Wow, that's a cool fish. I'd eat *that* for breakfast! Or any other meal!

2-3 am is a common time for people to wake up starving when they eat an unblanced diet high in carbs and sugar. It is a huge sugar low that comes at this time of night, 12 hours from the afternoon low at 2 pm. Try dropping grains, sugars & artificial sweeteners, fresh dairy, fruit and starches for a couple of weeks, and…

Try bacon grease or drippings from a roast chicken or meat... yum! I always collect drippings! If you do not have drippings, you can get a nice piece of really fatty pork or pork belly and slow melt it into a great cooking fat. So flavorful! And cheap! I dunno if you ever tried ghee, I don't like it, but you might.

Don't worry. I am trying to get fat to over 70%. As long as you feel well, that's the main thing. Going too low on fat and too high on protein may make digestion difficult and cause rabbit starvation... so just play it by ear, see where you are comfortable and losing fat.

I like macadamia nuts (2 oz) with coffee for my breakfast. I love eggs as well though. Any leftovers work well as your first meal. Meat, fish, veggies... Baked sweet potato microwaved with egg whites into a souffle (did this with bananas and grated carrots too). just don't worry about some special 'breakfast' food, and it…

Not saltiness, not sure why saltiness is in here. The idea is that commercial bread uses a number of chemical additives to make it softer, puffier, prevent it from growing mold, going stale fast. Those chemicals, plus processing of the grain make bread into a product that is used as an appetizer in the restaurants... i.e.…

One day won't have an impact. If you persist, you will eventually become nutritionally starved and will not be able to maintain the caloric restriction because the body will push you to eat more, since you are not getting nutrients you need. You can try a handful of pills and KFC, but won't you rather have your bacon,…

Yeah, we got a hotel with a microwave & fridge, and I made a run to the grocery store every few days. I fed three from my gro runs. No problems, and helped me occupy the mornings before the DL opened.

So, care to count how many things is in your bread in addition to the flour, water and yeast? Does your bread go stale the next day the way the bread should?

I did not eliminate carbs. I eliminated grains, legumes, bad oils and all sweeteners. Yea, sugar hunger is the false hunger, it sets your appetite to an unnatural level. That's why I am saying you need to try for yourself to see the difference. Well, that is if you have to eat every 3 hours, get dizzy and disoriented when…

I eat some bell peppers, yes. I eat tomatoes as well. From my own back yard. I do limit my carb intake atm, but again, I do try to get to the below average level of leanness. If I did not, it would not be necessary at all. Saying this, my carb intake with all its limitations gets me to almost a pound of vegetables a day.…

Ouch, sorry about ER. :( Try increasing your fat, sounds like your proteins are high. You might be experiencing the rabbit starvation. Did you cook your veggies in fat or used a lot of home made mayo or oil on the salads?

Yeah, but stuff it all in the red or yellow bell pepper, and win at life in the flavor, nutrients and weight loss department. Pepperandwich for the win. Have you ever read the ingredient list on your whole wheat bread?

I am a rule stickler. I counted my calories. I never touched anything white or that had sugar (no, no, it was all artificially sweetened! 0 calories!). I set macros according to Jillian Michael's 'Making the Cut book. I reduced exercise load, but doing a lot of gardening and walking. I was angling towards 130 lbs from 117…

I did not intend this statement for those experiencing perfect contentment with their health and aesthetics when I made this statement. I stand corrected.

Did that. Moderation = slowly regaining to the weight right back to the over-weight line where I started after pg. I did not want to be overweight. I am much more comfortable here. Now I hold the same weight I had to go sick on grain-based diet without much problems and my body comp is better. It is not easy. It is never…

No. But hunger increase when eating sugar/grains is so significant, minor deviations do not impact the results.

Yep. The bestest research is worthless for you if it doesn't work for you. Don't trust anyone telling you what to do. Try it. Stick with it for long enough to see if it is beneficial of not. Drop it if you don't like it. Go on if it doesn't. Female, post child-birth. Dropped 30 lbs with high carb-low fat diet and 3+ hours…

protein: boiled eggs, sardines, home made turkey jerky, Natural Choice Ham, leftover meats or fish fats: coconut oil, butter, mushed avocado/guacamole, creamed coconut, chilled/frozen coconut milk, raw organic cheese

No. All nutritional research is lies, darn lies and more lies until you tried the concept for yourself and saw if it works for you or not. When you stop losing weight, try dropping that toast. Everything in moderation doesn't work long term.

Davis is given to sensationalism, but he is right on the money that grain makes you gain. I think absolutely everyone should try to go clean-food only, grain-less and legume-less for 6 weeks and see the difference for themselves. His recipes are stupid though. He tries hard to sub grain products with some false nut based…

You don't have to do either. Eat a can of tuna or boil some cod or pollock. Or microwave some egg white. Pure protein. Not powdered.

If you are hungry, add more fats and proteins. That will eventually satiate you.

Mirrors rule. If you have a roll where you want it flat, that beats your BF%, BMI and fat fatalism combined.

When you are doing reduced calories for a while, over a week, one of the hormones goes down dramatically. It signals starvation and fat conservation to your body. Feasting re-sets the hormone levels to high, allowing the body to release fat. Human beings developed under the conditions of feast and fast, so their bodies…
