Only weight you'll lose is from having a completely empty colon and lower intestine. I think a routine colonoscopy is more medically beneficial and still achieve the same thing. Just with that you're drinking a big dose of laxative the night before to clear everything out. Those are usually only recommended as part of your…

I is a pretty contested stance but it seems that more and more Dr's and researchers are getting on board that Poly-unsaturated fats are not in fact heart healthy. At least with the way that they are processed and refined. By the time they make it to your grocery shelves they have oxidized and when ingested in the body…

Because the bulk of the sandwich and calories are from the bread. You don't get very many calories from the portions of meat they use, only 60 or so per 4 slices of ham or turkey. I think it is around 200 or more just for the bread which even their wheat is still highly refined and quickly broken down.

How are your triglycerides? I would focus on your diet to improve your numbers rather then go on a drug. There are far too many doctors that are quick to prescribe statins if your numbers don't fit their ideal setting and fixate on LDL. Reduce added sugars and seed oils. Consuming more sat-and mono fats, fish, avacados,…

Are you eating low-fat/no-fat yogurt? Those are not very long term filling. Try full fat plain yogurt. It is very filling and you can usually get away with eating less volume by the time you're full. If I get a slight craving I grab just a tablespoon full of Fage whole milk plain greek yogurt sometimes and that knocks down…

The example the OP is giving is from added sugar. Yes there is added sugar in a majority of processed foods, I think I've heard about 80% of the food in a typical grocery store. You don't need to freak out though about sugar from fruits as long as they are still consumed with the fiber that they were naturally bound with.…

Try some berries or other fruit. adding them to some plain yogurt can make a decent breakfast by itself. Also you may be a little dehydrated in the morning which can trigger the same impulses for cravings. Plus sugar is addictive and if you've cut back on it a lot you are probably getting some addiction response,…

Lettuce and cabbage both make good wrappers. Had cabbage cup tacos yesterday and you can steam the leafs to get them soft like tortillas for an enchiladas. I usually take a couple stalks of romain to make any sandwiches or hold my burgers

This pretty much breaks down the differences in fats and what makes them "good" or "bad" http://paleomagazine.com/paleo-fats "What Everybody Ought to Know About Fats" Basically on a scale of the main types of fats from most stable and least oxidizing to unstable and/or easily oxidized (which is what causes artery…

If was really that simple it wouldn't be that hard for everyone to do it. Appetite and satiety like to screw that all up. If it was easy you could just down a 12-18 100cal snack packs a day. Problem is you likely wouldn't ever feel satisfied. For many people it is much easier to eat a diet that keeps blood glucose levels…

Those aren't really a good measurement of ketosis. They will show when you are making ketones and expelling them but once your body starts to actually use your ketones for fuel you won't be expelling them in your urine very much anymore either. Measuring blood ketones is the only real accurate way to measure but they are…

Daymn jaspn! talk about throwing the hammer down. I agree with you but you can calm down. The negatives that other are claiming are based on ketoacidosis not ketogenesis. I shouldn't have gone as far as saying the bad breathe was a myth but it is way overblown. If you are burning ketones as fuel you are not releasing them…

I would up your fat, lower carb, and leave protein alone. You can get plenty of foods that are fairly even for protein and fat. Dietary fat doesn't turn into body fat. You still have to eat over maintenance to do that. Plus dietary fat helps you feel satiated, helps keep your blood sugar stable, and improves vitamin…

Well hell if you're biking everywhere make it a glass a wine and a vodka chaser :). A nice red is good too. Red or white typically the drier you can tolerate the better. A simple rule of thumb is mainly any distilled liquor is better then fermented when it comes to calories. Where most people get n trouble with weight is…

Some may be real weight the rest is the actual food still going through your intestines and fluids.

There fixed that for you.

Clothes can effect body shape. Look at cultures that don't wear clothing. More things are effected by gravity earlier.

Most don't eat as much as people think. Yes they have some with most of their meals but for total carbs they are still lower then the standard western diet. The problem with weight begins to happen when eating rice as well as cake, donuts, cereal, pasta, bread, pizza, cookies, etc. That is why you can find plenty of…

I had Five Guy's bacon cheese burger, no bun, for lunch. Was scrumptious. I also jog/walked to get there and back from work before I ate it.

Sitting behind a desk for 8 hours is overdoing it. I guess I was lucky that the people I work with already had a routine where everyone goes for a walk break 3 times in the day. Quick one in the morning, long one at lunch, and another quick one in the afternoon. Helps a lot with recharging productivity and also helps your…

I see them specifically listed in the ingredients and not lumped in with "other natural ingredients". Maltodextrin I see a lot, just another way to say sugar. Companies do whatever they think will make you believe it is good for you to eat. Soy lecithin is usually an emulsifier to make things look nicer or blend better…

sorry myth

If you think nutella is hard to moderate you should try cookie butter.

I would urge you to get a glucose meter. They are pretty cheap at Walmart or amazon. You won't be able to get a good idea about how sensitive you are to foods unless you test yourself. Find out what your fasting levels are and check 1 hour after eating to see how much a certain food effects you. If you have a higher then…

Fitbit flex is cheaper and has better ratings for performance tracking activity.

Only time I feel sad is when I see morbidly obese parents with morbidly obese children try to put a buffet out of business. I am not talking husky kids, I have known plenty of people that have had a chunky stage but leaned up in their next growth spurt. I try not to judge most people cuz who knows how long it has been…

Unfortunately the majority of the world is catching up to the US.
