Eat real food. Food doesn't contain ingredients. Food is an ingredient. Eat only what you can pick, dig or spear. Mostly spear. "If it takes multiple layers of brightly-colored packaging and a $multi-million/multi-media ad campaign to sell it, it’s not food. No one has to put meat or eggs in a brightly colored box with a…

But that doesn't mean you HAVE to take small steps. Some people have success with big leaps (like me - I jumped into Primal Blueprint full force…

Sugar-free popsicles and and low-carb fudge bars???!!! sugarfree jello? fast food breakfast bowls? Atkins bars?? A good chunk of what's on the Yes food list isn't even food. Food doesn't contain ingredients. Food is an ingredient. Meat. Ingredient? Meat Blueberries. Ingredient? Blueberries. Eggs. Ingredient? Eggs And if…

Well, since my man sat on his *kitten* while I worked, went shopping, and cooked on Valentine's Day then I'm making it my holiday. Happy I eat steak and he eats out Day. LOL ;D EDIT: Happy Steak and Pi Day!!

I've been from one end to other. I think it is best to have some kind of carb in the diet - why put your body through the effort of gluconeogenesis when we can get the glucose we need from diet? Starch and glucose were the original fuel source although FAT is our #1 diesel now. I had to cut most of them out to "fix" me on…

If you are not hungry don't eat. We're told we got fat from overeating. Then we're told to eat breakfast because "it's the most important meal of the day." and to eat it even if we aren't hungry. You know what happens if you don't eat. Your body starts using what is already there. Isn't that what you want? Your body…

Google Paleo Chocoate Pudding and you can find all kinds of yummy recipes. I would have to add more fat. I don't like the fat:carb ratio on that one. Although I'm sure the carbs are probably mostly soluble fiber (our gut bacteria convert about half the soluble fiber to fat). But that's just an opinion from someone who eats…

Mark's Daily Apple (search his site for "chronic cardio" - exercise is stress. The body treats all stress the same - whether it's exercise or late bills. And what does too much stress do?) There are a number of articles. Search "Fat Paradigm"; "What it means to be fat-adapted", "context of calories"; "how many calories…

The average age was 35 and an AVERAGE. High infant mortality coupled with adults living into their 70s. In 1900 the average age was 30. (5 and 7 are an average of 6. So are 10 and 2). You could die from a cut on the finger or a broken bone. All you are comparing when comparing the average age of populations is the…

NOW SuperFoods. Plain old whey protein powder (tastes like milky water when you mix it with water). I got it off of Amazon - recommended by gnolls.org. They have some great supplements, too. Their Super Digestive Enzymes helped my system handle my transition to a high-fat diet.

How is that a substitue??? You're replacing real food with frankenfood. Have you looked at the ingredient list? Oh wait food doesn't contain ingredients. Food IS an ingredient. Red meat is good for you. http://chriskresser.com/red-meat-it-does-a-body-good…

"Saying a calorie is a calorie is no more useful in describing what is happening at a physiological level than saying a metre is a metre. Both…

Here, I'll make it bigger. ;P. I agree completely. I would get so obsessed over those numbers that the amount of anxiety and stress from it couldn't have been good. I mean, I was eating 5-6 times a day and weighing all that food, counting/logging all those calories. It was my ENTIRE DAY!!. And then I went Primal. And it…

I eat a high fat diet. Roughly 65%-75% of my daily intake. I'm 111lbs and maintain this by eating high fat (lots of saturated fat too). I don't count calories or log because there is no need. I guess that's my N=1; I'm eating more than double the 30% fat - and it's more than half saturated fat - and when I did this I went…

How about just throw some chicken on the grill, (or in a fryer - true buffalo wings aren't breaded.) And buffalo sauce is just hot sauce and butter. It's yummy. (And butterfat is very, very good for you) my chicken wings are very healthy!! no breading and plenty of yummy fat!!

Couldn't tell you. I don't put much faith into calories - two years with a Body Media Fit Armband has shown me that my weight and calories just aren't connected. http://thatpaleoguy.com/2012/12/19/calorie-rants-and-ketosis-part-1/ http://thatpaleoguy.com/2012/12/19/calorie-rants-and-ketosis-part-1/

Get a blood sugar monitor and be your own scientist. It's all sugar that can contribute to diabetes. Heritability of diabetes is estimated at 26%. Grapes are terrible for sugar content. Squash is high sugar but the fiber does slow it down some. I'm at typical risk for diabetes (I had DNA analysis done a while back - I'm…

Haven't read the entire thread. My biggest pet peeve is "Calories in = Calories out". http://thatpaleoguy.com/2012/12/19/calorie-rants-and-ketosis-part-1/ http://thatpaleoguy.com/2012/12/24/calorie-rants-and-ketosis-part-2/ This guy is pretty much where I'm at these days regarding calories. It's also been my N=1

Work on your diet. Don't worry about exercise. Body composition is 80% diet (what you put in your mouth, not how much). The rest is a combo of exercise and genetics (walk. Do lots of walking. It doesn't have to be fast. As long as you are moving you are doing something). Just move. Be active. He talks about calories here.…

Primal Blueprint and Mark's Daily Apple. Best thing I ever did for my mind, body and health. And I have been maintaining 110-113lbs for 2 years now. I was never obese. I was chunky and was "overweight" briefly when I was 140lbs but my body was breaking down on me. Fibromyalgia. Digestive issues. Skin issues. Blood sugar…

Ditto. 3-4lb weights? Goodness, I'm a weak, lazy *kitten* yet when I pick up a barbell to do curls it has got to be at least 15lbs - I need to feel like I'm actually lifting something - and I'm a little slip of nothing. You want to get strong? Lift heavy. Even if you can only do one repetition to failure you are doing…

I went to post and saw the list of studies done about protein. When you decrease one macro you increase another macro. That confounds the results. Whose to say that the increase/decrease in other macronutrients didn't affect the results in some way. Did they all eat the exact same foods? The ADA guidelines have protein set…

I've been wearing one for 2 years and it's about as accurate as it can be. (according to the site >90%). But I don't count or log calories. I stopped when I started Primal Blueprint. There was just no need. Once I figured out that my weight management was based on what I put in my mouth and not how much calorie counting…

Animal foods (incl. eggs, seafood and dairy), all produce, full fat coconut milk/oil dark chocolate, nut flours (almond, coconut, macadamia). Lots and lots of fat...nomnomnom. Well shoot that's my whole diet! There really is onyly one essential "food"...Real Food

In my world there are 3 food groups: animals, fat - lots and lots of fat, and produce. It's simple. Eat real food (food doesn't contain ingredients; food is an ingredient. A bunch of foods cooked together is a recipe). There isn't anything on that list that is food. They are industrial commodities, pseudo-food,…

You have it correct. The soda didn't kill her. It is an association, not a causation. You can also apply this to: Meat causes colon cancer (what makes it to your colon is beans, grains, and vegetables. Meat is broken down in the stomach and small intestines (gut) cigarettes cause lung cancer saturated fat and cholesterol…
