(I'm) Stranded - The Saints

At a really liberal funeral.

Wouldn't know, sorry ;) I had 14 years sober ... Mostly occupied with schoolwork though.

Treat it as a metabolic reset and get back on the 1600.

Because it's a personal tracking tool for me, it's nobody else's business what I eat.

A pile of beef mince cooked up with peas, spinach, zucchini, carrots, mushrooms, onions, chopped tomatoes and a splurge of chopped garlic. I cooked it in bulk yesterday, lobbed some tuna and tabasco in and had it with garlic bread. After a day living off the splash of milk in my morning coffee it will go down very well…

It will be two slices of the whitest bread you ever did see sandwiching some Sakata crackers and hot sauce somewhere close to midnight. Because I can :)

I started my nutritional adventures many moons back with Sean Croxton of Underground Wellness doing his simplified version of Lustig's lecture. And there started a long an interesting journey via Taubes, WheatBelly, FatHead, etc. Basically Lustig is wrong and alarmist. The primary cause of people being fat is over…

Head first.

I have a gloriously decadant sandwich planned just prior to bed somewhere past midnight ... Red Rock Deli chilli crisps on buttered white bread. If that bread were any more processed it would be a Mars Bar.

I read The Paleo Solution, I read The Primal Blueprint, I read Mark's Daily Apple, I watched the ancestral health stuff online, I did it for 6 months (pretty strict). I ranted on here about how it was the way forward. I even thought Mark Sisson's "Carbohydrate Curve" had a grain (ha!) of truth in it. I still like Robb Wolf…

Once a year, I'm due next month. Nearly down to the last notch on the work trousers belt which marks the fittest (well, leanest, anyway) I've been in 10 years or so, this has been giving me my daily feedback. It'll be interesting to see what the number is but no more than that.

Red wine by the vat ;)

Thanks, I enjoyed that. The Monthly is well worth subscribing to IMO.

The body will absorb what it will absorb. Period. ;) Dragging this thread from pedantry, general abuse and sniping (a.k.a. Default Forum Behaviour) back onto an interesting topic ... I'll go with metabolic up-regulation and a natural desire for homeostasis, i.e. the body maintaining what it thinks is the weight we should…

I low carbed for a while, 9 months or so, it helped sort my cravings and rampant hunger out. I took it ketogenic levels which is very low carbing. An interesting experiment but I don't think it had any magical metabolic effects. For 3 weeks? Not worth it, as others have said you will lose water weight and have little other…

I want to prove I can look good nekkid and still get regularly screamingly drunk. This may lead to intimate encounters too.

I hear ya ... is, was and will always be Montage by Team America for me ...

There's a 5 o'clock in the morning too?

I hear ya, low carbing can be a great idea for controlling cravings and hunger. To apply a 'why restrict anything' mentality to all is short-sighted. Some people do benefit from macro restriction. There is no magic metabolic benefit to low carbing but it can be a stepping stone to better nutrition IMO.

Drink 6 tablespoons of coconut oil to prime the metabolism then drink the beer without fear of weight gain. It's science you know.

Bingo. I used to argue the toss on MFP about calories and how there are many factors that mean counting is flawed. The body isn't just a furnace! Look at the hormones! Think about the digestive system! We haven't always counted calories, why should we now? Homeostasis ferchissakes! The Smarter Fracking Science Of Slim! Zoe…

Pretty good here, I tend to do the cooking so they can go hungry if they don't like it :) My OH will snack on all sorts of chocolate, ice cream and whatnot, does not bother me at all. She doesn't lecture me on the wine so all's fair ;) I get most of my exercise post-work on the commute so there is no conflict there, it's…

Or, indeed, tales of people getting headaches on artificial sweeteners, or having digestion issues, or finding they get cravings and are hungrier. All these people must clearly be imagining it. I have Coke Zero but I try to limit it, just not as good as water. But there speak someone who guzzles red wine without a thought…

I quit cold turkey after 20 years of smoking, I can recommend Allen Carr's Easy Way book, a fair number of MFPs have had success with it. Good luck.

Celery, I love that sheet.

Sufficient. I'm a bleeding saint otherwise though ;)

Canned tuna 'tempters', I hit the low-fat chilli variety on a disgustingly regular basis.
