I have never once seen someone at a farmers market selling produce that isn't supposed to be grown around here. Different areas will have different stuff depending on the region. I would be highly suspicious if someone showed up here in the mid-west selling oranges and mangos or something.

I would seriously get a second opinion about that low fat diet. It is pretty much the opposite of what you want to be doing to control your insulin. Low fat diets are extremely hard to sustain for the long term. http://www.amyjol.com/2013/06/low-carbohydrate-diet-improved-hba1c-weight-loss-in-diabetes.html…

No. Unrefined natural expeller pressed is the way to go it is perfect in its natural unrefined form for cooking or on the body. No need for refining it. It may have a lower smoke temp but there really isn't a reason to cook that high.

Why do something so silly. Using coconut oil and butter are some of the healthiest options for what they are used for. Those spray oils are junk. Over processed and refined. It isn't about calories. They may be able to make your salad palatable but you're going to get hungry again much quicker. Saturated fat isn't bad for…

1 cup with 1T of heavy cream, 1T Kerrygold butter, and 1T of coconut oil. Whip it up with a handheld frother and it is good to go. Gives long lasting energy. If I have more coffee through the day I drink it black.

Heard supplementing with ox bile or bitters promote more bile in your digestion can help

There are plenty of runners doing low carb. More and more are finding that carbo loading for competition isn't necessary.

As long as you are getting the energy you need to get through your workouts and are seeing progress with your workouts you will be fine. Many times people underestimate their calorie anyways but if you are in the general area you should be fine. Your body is pretty sophisticated with how it uses energy from food or stored…

I get plenty of energy eating fat and protein. Yeah many people that were eating primarily carbage SAD diet do get a period of low energy while their body is learning to adapt to a new diet. Once they make it out of that period energy levels stay more stable. There's no ups and downs from blood sugar spikes and crashes.

If you get those urine ketone strips you should see them turn purple when your body is just starting to ramp up your ketones. That means it has begun making them more but not really using the since they are in your urine. It should then start going back to a lower color amount when your body is actually starting to fuel…

They are like that because sugar induces the same dopamine response as many addictive drugs.

3lbs in a week is good. In the long term you will likely average 1lb a week. You are also don't seem to be far from your ideal weight being in the 130s. You will likely see more results in changes to your body composition vs extreme weight loss. As long as you feel like your workouts are improving week to week you are…

It shouldn't effect you at all as long as they are from real foods. Fat keeps you satiated so you can be successful only eating 1200 cals. Getting plenty of protein and fat along with carbs coming from veggies, fruit, and complex carbohydrate grains.

This^^^ Highly processes and refined. Oxidation in the body causes inflammation of arteries and in turn plaque. That's why anti-oxidents are good for you they help prevent oxidation. Canola has been touted as heart healthy but as more research has been done results show it is the exact opposite of healthy same with all…

Many reasons low-carb is catching on so much is that for a significant amount of people who have tried to follow the standard recommended diet they never had any success. They've had too much metabolic damage from eating processed junk for so long that they are insulin resistant. Going low carb has been the answer for…

Most people that I know that are trying to find cause with stomachs issues try going gluten free, not just low carb. They try going GF for a month and see how they feel then maybe introduce it back a little to see how their body reacts. Same as most elimination diets for trying to find tricky food allergies. I am pretty…

Here is one blog I follow that sites 2 studies that show advantages of LC diet. The title of the post is meant to be ironic: http://www.fathead-movie.com/index.php/2012/06/28/a-possible-metabolic-advantage-but-it-will-kill-you/

Maybe. In studies where subjects where not restricted on calories found that a high fat diet was more successful for naturally eating less then a high carb diet which in turn resulted in better weight loss success. I don't know what study you are referring to but I have read more then one where there was significant…

That rate is about how much the average person can actually burn in body fat. There may be periods where you get a greater rate but in the long term it usually averages out to that much. You also have to take into consideration your body composition. If you are replacing fat with muscle it effects your net weight loss. Now…

As much as naysayers try to tell everyone that gluten is fine it doesn't ring true for how many that try going GF and notice a difference. I am not GF 100% of the time but when I happen to go a long time without eating it then have some bread I can tell. There is a larger percentage of people that actually get off of…

That is overhydrated, you need the electrolytes. But that is not related to your issue. I would just try it again later. Was the broccoli fresh or been in the fridge a while? It doubt it is an allergy, those take a few seconds to start up usually. Sometimes people get a taste aversion to something and don't recall the…

There had been some controversy regarding omega-6 fatty acids. Some researchers believe that omega-6 fatty acids metabolize in your body to become a type of fatty acid that can cause the lining of your arteries to become inflamed and damaged. That damage causes narrowing in your arteries, which can lead to heart disease.…

He instead gained around 3lbs and his waist SHRUNK. He also ate closer to 5800 calories then 5000. His point was to show that are bodies are not like a…

works very good. just using parmesan and Italian seasoning for flavoring. trick in making a stiff crust is to wring out as much moisture you can from it after ricing and cooking in a tea towel before you start making the dough.

Sometimes all it takes is being free of grains or dairy to realize how sensitive you actually were to them. Plus your body is adapting and reprogramming itself to digesting all the foods you are eating on a paleo/primal diet and then you dumped in a bunch of stuff that it wasn't geared up for eating. When you were eating…

Plenty of paleos still use dairy and many refer to it as eating Primal which was made popular from 'The Primal Blueprint' by Mark Sisson, he has an awesome site called marksdailyapple.com with a vast resource of free information and answers to common questions. Dairy or lactose effects everyone differently. It is all about…

I would avoid seed/grain oils. They tend to have omega-6 fatty acids which are not good like omega-3s. Can you have coconut oil? I cook a lot with that if I don't want the olive oil flavor for a certain meal. I also put it in my coffee. Also don't be afraid of real butter. I use Kerrygold Irish grass fed un-salted butter.…
