If it isn't broke don't fix it. I personally eat 60% fat, 30% protein, and 10% carbs. If you lower your fat what are you going to replace it with? Anything more then 1g of protein/ pound of LBM will go to waste (ie fat storage) unless you're lifting heavy to build muscle. Eating more carbs can run the risk of creating an…

Dietary cholesterol has almost no effect on your bodies blood cholesterol.

eating often changing your metabolism is false. It is not a matter of cals in vs out, it is mainly about controlling hunger and triggering your body to fuel itself with its fat stores. More recent studies that I have been hearing is that more people are finding success doing to opposite of what you're asking. Doing…

20g a day is at the far extreme side of low-carb. It is similar to the induction phase of Atkins or a strict ketogenic diet. Keto diet is fine in my opinion but isn't really necessary for most people long term. You can also maintain a state of ketosis eating higher carb once you become more fat adapted. You do not want to…

If it is from added vegetable oils in the packaging then that would be bad. If it is natural it should be just fine. The big problem is trans fats from man made hydrogenated oils. Naturally occurring trans fats are rare but they exist and are not damaging.

He has the same problem every health and diet based media does, they cant keep talking about the same thing every episode or every magazine. He would have been much better off sticking to showing up as a guest on a show that touched on health once a month vs him having to find content for a show 5 days a week. He really…

I don't agree completely with everything he claims but I think he has got a lot more right about why we got fat then the conventional dietary guidelines have been spouting. What many of you on here keep overlooking when spouting off about it all being about burning more then you consume. What you consume significantly…

I will say nuts can be a problem for some people, they are calorie dense and like you said you can quickly eat a lot of them before you start feeling full. I try to have some volume when I am trying to stave off a craving.

Cutting out fastfood and soda is a good start, add refined sugar to that list. Stick with real whole foods and you will be good for life, not just the 50lbs you want to lose. Whatever plan you have it has to be one that you will do for life not just to your goal otherwise you'll roller coaster. I would focus on smaller…

If you can't find a diet where you actually feel satisfied with the food you eat on a regular basis you are not going to have long term success. If you have to will yourself to not eat when you're hungry eventually everything will come crashing down.

Lots of water. I was hard up on energy drinks. I made sure to have a big cup of ice and water with a straw to suck on any time to keep at my desk and not searching for a vending machine.

Would change the order to fat, protein, then fiber. Fat is the most satiating just stay away from trans fat. Full fat plain Greek yogurt Almond nut butter Olives Cheese Avocado

Ketostix are not an accurate way to determine if you are in ketosis. For some it can take a while to really get fat adapted. Just keep eating real whole foods. Make sure you're getting enough fat and make sure to still get some veggies in.

You could like that amount of weight but that doesn't mean it will be your belly fat. You could probably get about half of it gone. I went from 240 to 170 and I still have a little spare tire left.

Looks like you need to just bring up HDL and lower Trigs and some LDL. Easiest way to get better HDL/Trig ratio is to cut down on your sugar and refined carbs.

If it was that simple we could just mix Metamucil fiber with any sugary food to negate its effects. Maybe you can slow down the speed of absorption but you're also not getting that great quality of food. The majority of the vitamins in cereals are added vs coming naturally from their main ingredients.

Your stomach goes from a washboard and back to a tub...j/k. If you can get away with it fitting a sugary treat ever day that's better then the average western diet eater having one with every meal on top of processed nutrient difficient carbage.

Your brain can fuel itself just fine on ketones, it doesn't necessarily need dietary sugar to function. You don't need very much sugar to replenish glycogen stores as well. I believe everyone would do just fine limiting their sugar intake and getting it only from fruits and veggies, keeping refined sweets to once in a…

As long as you're eating it and not juicing it. The sugar that it contains will not be absorbed as quick if you eat it with the fiber that it also comes with. That doesn't mean go crazy and binge but not stress about your sugar count on MFP. That is based on the recommendation for added sugars but they can't single out…

Juicing with a blender is better then a juicer. Stripping away all the fiber with a juicer is going to just leave only sugar behind reek havoc on your blood sugar.

When doing that high intensity work out listen to your body. Just keep the foods nutrient dense and not junk and you will be fine.

So am I going to be the Debbie downer to say that peanut butter technically isn't a nut butter? I still love peanut butter but I am branching out more this year trying all the other types more. Also if you wanted to get technical about nutrition peanut butter isn't as nutritious relative to most other nut butters. Most of…

Fat is vital for a growing child, especially for brain development.

Don't fret. The more you build lean muscle your metabolism will start to go up. You're starting to get to the weight where you're actually starting to ramp up muscle growth. From what I know about SL5x5 is you're really going to be taxing your muscles when the weights get hard and burning up a lot of energy.

I think you need to swap in some more veggies and whole fruit and less breads and granola. It doesn't have to be all or nothing, just mix it up. If you have the bagel in the morning have an apple for the snack instead of granola or mac and cheese. Like previous poster mentioned, try lettuce leaf wraps once in a while…

1-2 lbs a week is about average. I took it 1 lb at a time. Every Friday my goal was to be at least 1lb less then the week before.

Hopefully as you go along you will find that you just feel better eating low carb and won't really have a desire to go back to a standard diet. You don't necessarily have to go all extreme either. Right now you should be taking the opportunity to experiment and find out just how sensitive you are. I assume you have a…

My wife now has lost a lot of weight and is pretty much at goal (5'3" 120lbs) and is mainly now just focusing on eating healthy and toning muscle. The one thing that bugs her is some of her family members always ask "Are you done dieting yet? How much more are you going to lose?" For me what bugged me once my weight…

If you want to get into nutritional ketosis you can't really have bread. The only carbs you really can get away with would be from vegetables. Bread, even whole wheat is too refined and still high on the glycemic scale.
