You should be able to eat irish potatoes at least, but I guess it might be good to eliminate it if it was a comfort food for you haha!

Unfortunate. And they're all going to try to help you with your form and probably will be incorrect. Ugh. It must suck to be a female trying to lift.

great job

Have you tried eliminating it for a time and the reintroducing it?

Here you go! It's very interesting stuff:

Take a look at some of these articles. This tribe has an abundance of food but they do not count calories, nor have the means to do so. None of their population suffers from obesity, heart disease, diabetes, etc. http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/search/label/Kitava

Appetite is very much controlled by our eating habits. I understand what you're saying and don't disagree. I'm doing lyle's RFL right now in fact with no appetite at all. I will see if I can find a link to this study for you, it was done in the 70s when they put a group of obese adults in a closed environment and the only…

Your liver can produce glucose from protein so it isn't necessary to consume any carbohydrate if you don't want to! :)

Eating should not make you feel like your problems are less difficult. I doubt you would ever feel that way in a different environment and with different foods available to you. Did you choose to desire to eat when you had plenty of body fat available? I doubt it. We naturally eat when we are hungry, and trust that the…

Correct, the mere fact that you have to count your calories on a website like this to maintain a healthy weight should indicate to you that you didn't simply choose to overeat. Tell me what wild animal becomes obese because it has too much food available to it? Show me an indigenous human tribe that does not consume…

You might not be fat but that isn't the only measure of health. There's nothing wrong with dark chocolate, ice cream is borderline. Gluten however should be avoided.... per the link I posted above. And I didn't say all folks are not well adapted to western diet. As I said all the people with diabetes and obesity would be…

No, nobody chooses to be obese. If that helps you to think that way in order to maintain your fitness be my guest, but it isn't true.

Grains and industrial seed oils. Too much n-6, and gluten is implicated in many autoimmune diseases.

Clarified butter is paleo. As I stated you haven't done any research on it or you would know this. White rice is also paleo(surprise surprise!)

Just because a population thrives on a new food doesn't mean it is ideal. In fact, all these people with obesity and celiac should DIE OUT due to natural selection leaving only folks who ARE able to process grains without any negative health effects. The majority of the western population cannot live a healthy life on…

Tell me what is more enjoyable than a steak and sweet potato loaded down with butter and cinnamon? Besides that, as you've obviously taken on the opinion of lyle or alan, I won't bother trying to persuade you. But if you do find yourself bored one day you might take a look at this:…

Nah, the environment we live in encourages obesity. You don't see indigenous peoples on their native diets becoming obese even with massive food surpluses. I don't consider it anyone's fault for being overweight. Too much of the information regarding weight loss from the US Govt is incorrect as well which doesn't help.

So why would you want the OP to forget about it if simple popularity is the only thing you were stating about it? If you already knew it had solid research behind it why would you suggest to forget it?

You're right, about 90% of women do not fit that description, most women do not come close to having a feminine body shape. Women can be masculine, and men can be feminine, that doesn't mean feminine qualities are masculine and masculine qualities are feminine. There are just masculine women and feminine men.

Paleo is based on modern peer-reviewed research, I believe you are referring to something closer to acai berry diets etc.

Why is paleo a fad diet. Thanks.

Paleo is not necessarily low carb, most people use it for fat loss and therefore go low-carbish but you can really bump the carbs up with some sweet potatoes and white rice if you choose. I do Paleo+Dairy when bulking and eat a pint of ice cream daily, so that wouldn't be strictly paleo but you don't have to eat grains to…

The idea of feminine and masculine comes from the effect of estrogen and testosterone on the human body. Soft facial features, a .7 waist to hip ratio, and several other things define fertility, and femininity. The same with masculinity, square jaw, smaller eyes, broad shoulders deep voice etc. None of this is caused by…

I personally don't find women at that leanness attractive. I do respect her dedication and the work she did to get there though. And fake boobs just look bad to me :/

Well I think it's mostly water cause this morning I'm 6lbs heavier from eating all the carbs

I wasn't trying to tell anyone to do what I do...... it worked for me last time, I only eat 3000 once a week, which is close to my maintenance calories. I generally lose about .8lbs of weight and maybe .4lbs of fat a day like this.

I just feel like I'm wasting my time if I'm not eating the minimum. I'm just extreme like that so don't be like me. I mean I could run on a treadmill for two hours or I could just not eat those carbs and save the cost of the food and the time lost burning it off lol

I never workout if I have been sleep deprived, I make sure to always get a good nights rest before and after. If I had no option, I would just take things slower and lower the intensity.

I eat 900kcal a day and I have zero hunger. Well except today when I had my cheat meal and I ate over 3000 LOL
