I don't understand trying to pinpoint an ideal weight range. I just try to put on as much muscle and have as little fat as possible. My weight is a non-issue

Drink some alcohol tonight. It should make you drop some of the water

Hilarious. I need some razr abzzzzz

It's tough for the first couple of days, but it really drops your hunger to the point of having to force yourself to eat a deficit. Try some plain chicken and plain Irish potato with a little salt.

Ratchet up the protein, decrease the variety. Eat bland gently cooked foods so you don't get much pleasure from eating.

That is why I said it is *unlikely*. I never said *everyone*. In fact I specifically said that there are some folks that are completely adapted to it and probably have no health issues whatsoever. I just think that % is much lower than you do. Less than 50% at least.

Cooking came around long before we started consuming wheat as a population. I may or may not find the research for you. I'll just shoot you a PM.

I'm just trying to explain that the fact you have to peel something doesn't make it bad for you, but you HAVE to do severe processing to grains in order to keep them from being unhealthy. In fact the only grain I would consider un-harmful is white rice.

The plant has evolved to be destructive to animals who would try to consume it. This is not the case with things like fruit which use animals to reproduce. Eat berries, go somewhere else, **** the seeds out, good for you good for the plant. Hope this helps.

Please don't make me go pull hundreds of links to peer-reviewed journals :( I really hate doing that and it makes me look like a tool. I am not a raw food paleo, cooking improves the bioavailability of most foods. You seem to think I eat this way for some philosophical or mystic reasoning that I can't explain. That would…

I didn't say you shouldn't eat it only because the outer layer isn't edible or palatable.

Nothing, I just find it unlikely that someone consuming wheat has no issues from it. Especially later down the line when it will start taking its toll in the form of atherosclerosis and autoimmune diseases.

Come on man, obviously I'm assuming you aren't going to go eat chips or twizzlers instead of wheat. And everything provides carbs fat and fiber and protein, you can get that from an apple pie. That doesn't mean it's more nutrient dense than a sweet potato.

Let me apologize. I wasn't trying to say that I knew what you consumed. Man began farming and eating wheat because it was a source of food, not because it was easy to process. It saved millions of lives from starvation and famine. However, If you go try to eat raw wheat you will puke your guts out. The stuff has evolved to…

Well why did you ask me to not school you on nutrient density? It sounded like you were *implying* that your diet would not increase in nutrient density by eliminating basically empty calories.

Dairy can cause acne, gluten can cause leptin resistance. Maybe it's easier for you to diet down to leanness if you eliminate gluten. But why would you know that if you've always eaten it. I'm saying you could be living with some issue that you think is just genetics but possibly you could resolve it by eliminating wheat.

What I meant by that statement is you can't say "X doesn't cause me any issues" if you have always eaten X. Maybe it doesn't, but you have no way of knowing that because you've always eaten it.

So you are proposing that wheat is more nutrient dense per calorie than a sweet potato or other non-grain source of carbohydrate? I would find that assertion quite interesting if you'd like to expound on it. Thanks. P.S. my 1lb lost is due to carb refeed yesterday

I lift every other day

WAPF has a lot of research on how soy is not that great for you. But the majority of peer reviewed literature shows that in general it's good. I still avoid it myself however....

You don't HAVE to eliminate it, just some things that you wouldn't attribute to it will not be obvious without doing that. I am not talking about GI distress by the way. Dairy may cause issues for me but I eat it anyway, but I'm not going to sit here and tell you ohhhh no I know for a fact casein isn't doing any harm to me.

Plastics, I have not tried that so I don't know that they aren't safe. I don't eat them however so I do not consider it having the same risk factor as food. Avoiding water between 12pm and 1pm, I have not tried this, but it is very unlikely as water is a benign substance and the time of day should not be a concern. I do…

Wheat is not even edible by humans without excessive processing by the way. The more refined grains are the better they are for you simply because they become less and less the plant and more just a simple carbohydrate. There are not enough vitamins in them in the first place to speak of. If you wanted vitamins in your…

Directly haha.

Well you don't know if you don't try it. So don't pretend like you know you have no issues with gluten.

reintroduce wheat and see if it gets worse?

Because of all the posters here saying they have had good experience by eliminating it. I used to have some pretty bad road rage. I went 11 months without eating any grains except white rice and occasionally corn. For my birthday I had hotdogs and doughnuts, the next morning, I was driving like an *kitten* and I was…

This is just disgusting. I can't believe they would start charging more for higher cholesterol numbers. That is the worst.

HA HAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
