Strength training is always the most important--muscle power output determines both quality and quantity of life. Adding strength training will also help you lose and keep off bodyfat in the long run.

Calorie deficit is not the only vector for fat loss. You may simply have lowered your stress hormone production, signaling your body that it no longer needed to store as much bodyfat.

Contact the local Lodge and sit in on some initiations.

I'm just starting back into powerlifting after a TWENTY-YEAR hiatus (I just couldn't do powerlifting and still pass my military PT tests). I'm going back to the program that got me started in high school: Bigger, Faster, Stronger. Good luck to us all!

Protease, lipase and amylase all work through hydrolysis. It is a bit of a stretch to refer to to hydrolysis as oxidation, and it is certainly not the same reaction as combustion. But if you feel that my wording is ambivalent, simply re-read it with the word "combustion" substituted for "oxidation". As for the metric…

Less rice; more healthy fat--cook with coconut oil, add some flax oil to your salad. It will induce faster satiety and deter gluconeogenesis. Also, try a few rounds of high-intensity exercise per week--some sprints, for example. Something you can do all-out for less than 30 seconds... But do several rounds.

Well, Jamie, you remain the only person who has actually given me any feedback. I appreciate your time.

To the OP: the reason that you don't see articles on how much 'fat' you need, is because there actually many different types. The easiest way is to get your minimum protein: healthcalculators.org/calculators/protein.asp Then, stay between 20-50 grams of carbohydrate. The rest of your calories should come from fat.…

I agree with the premise of the OP, but I'm much more concerned with getting enough fat and protein, and staying under carbohydrates.

I use the elliptical trainer which allows me to sprint all-out. I sprint for 30 seconds at maximum effort, then rest for 90; I do ten to fifteen sets of this. The 'maximum effort' (not just 'faster') is important. What you are actually doing is not just burning fat, but teaching your body that you will be exerting yourself…

Malibu: I posted it today, and certainly haven't deleted it. It does seem to be getting a lot of flags, though, so I'm sure it will be gone soon enough.

Eric: Traffic to my blog is appreciated, but my blog has been going for years now, and this is the first time I've posted a link here. I'm looking for knowledgable feedback. Admittedly, I appear to have come to the wrong place. Jamie: Aristotelian physics works for 99% of observable phenomena. Investigation of the few…

Thanks for the feedback everyone, this has been very educational!

1. Meat and eggs will always be your best protein sources. 2. No, you cannot gain muscle while losing WEIGHT. Your body is too catabolic. However, you can gain muscle while losing FAT. Just focus on gaining muscle. 3. Make sure you are getting plenty of healthy fats, to keep your body ketogenic. 4. Here is the protein…

Also important: make sure to use it as soon as you grind it. It goes rancid very quickly.

I wound up adding everything together and simmering for a little over an hour. Turned out pretty well.

Noted! I have nowhere near a large enough pot for that, though... :)

Sorry, JH; nobody answers my questions... :-/

You should be aware that anything with the word "whey" or "casein" is a milk product. Actual foods are always preferable to supplements; your body is not intended to take any sort of nutrient in a stand-alone form. If you aren't eating meat (WHY?) or milk, whole eggs are an excellent source of protein, as well as…

Formerly did geospatial mapping while working toward a high-school physics teacher's certificate in the Troops to Teachers program. That fell through (my full-time job went away), so now I'm a full-time Correctional Officer (!) working toward my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology.

This book provides an excellent blueprint for bodyweight exercises, starting with the "push-ups against a wall" stage, and leading all the way up to exercises that most people will never be able to perform. I highly recommend it: http://www.dragondoor.com/b41/ Easy meal planning: Eat one palm-sized serving of protein,…

Yes, the bar is included. A lifting total is the TOTAL weight lifted. You must also include the weight of the collars, if significant.

I made most of these statements in a thread a couple of weeks ago. They're not going to gain much traction with the Nathan Pritikin/Jim Fixx crowd which dominates MFP.

Slow cookers are a HUGE benefit for Paleo. Also, blenders for home-made condiments and sauces.

Justaspoonful-- No, salt itself is not anti-Paleo; in fact, it's the original mineral supplement! However, the amount of salt used in canning is much, much higher than that used in fermentation.

Most canning involves sugar or salt, and is therefore not paleo-friendly. Good paleo storage techniques are refridgeration and lacto-fermentation (pickling with bacteria, rather than with vinegar). Fermentation isn't that hard, and actually improves the nutritional content of the foods. Lots of good books available.

Sure. We can watch the heavens together... :)

"Well Fed" is a book written by a friend of the people who wrote "It Starts with Food". It contains not only recipes, but also information on basic cooking and meal planning. ("Well Fed 2" just came out, as well)

Insufficient data. The existence of what?
