I think you have to read up and try it for yourself. Personally I was very ill, mostly bed bound and if wasn't until I went Paleo that I started to recover. It's not been the only thing I did but it was a huge part of it. I've had more recovery in the past year than some get in 5 years or even 25 years with this illness.…

60g of sugar in a day, yes I consider that to be a lot. It's not the amount of carbs your eating. It's the type of carbs. I'm not saying it to be critical, I'm merely trying to help. Edit: I took another look at it, your food choices aren't that bad. It's the condiments that are pushing the sugar consumption. If you cut…

Tbh I feel for you, my mother is a diabetic and it's very hard for her to balence her meals. I think you have had some good advice so far about being more prepared. You know yourself that getting that low isn't good for your body and that alone will prevent you from losing weight. My only suggestion to add is that you look…

Awesome! Have fun Lynette :)

I'm from Worcestershire, I'm a personal trainer and nutritionist. Feel free to add me- please leave a note introducing yourself :)

Hey! Yes try Sunwarrior Protein powder. It's made from brown rice, mixes well, clean product and good macro ratios.

Now don't be silly, I never said that's all you eat, now your taking it out of context! But you consider my diet to be unhealthy. There's plenty of middle ground but you claim I need monitoring for a diet rich in vitamins minerals and macros. And as you said a few times.....good luck with your health ;) lol

Lol nope, bored thou. I'm always satisfied ;)

No it was on his profile. I was only referring to him.

Ha ha I know, effortlessly remaining at low body fat with perfect blood tests etc eating real foods. I'm suffering terribly not eating pizza and drinking beer. You should feel very sorry for me :( I really should seek help ;)

Or you could answer the question?

I don't understand, what is it about eating protein, veg, fruit and fats that you consider needs monitoring?? It's also been stated by many that its what works for your one body...I.e only needs to be for sample size of one- yourself. If pizza and beer works for you then all good but it doesn't work for me In all honesty…

Of course it's being judgemental. Your saying that my diet of protein, veg, fruit and fats is going to need monitoring and that I need luck?

Thank you, health is the exact reason I'm doing it. You don't know my story so don't be so judgemental.

The quality of the food I have eaten for the last 12 years has always been excellent. Surely if it makes someone feel better then that's what matters? If somebody eats the exact same diet first with grains and then removes grains and feels better how would that be viewed?

Well what else would you suggest I call it? Lol why does it matter what I call it if it means I can associate how I eat with others that eat the same way and understand my lifestyle choices??

Agreed, you def can't seperate the two, that's often why gastric bands fail- they haven't addressed the emotional/psychological issues. Different things work for different people. How will you know what works for your body unless you've tried it?

Quite rightfully so but I'd be interested in what you have read that leads you to believe it has no scientific reasoning? What books and online references etc have you read?

Lol love this. It's true, you'll find extremists in every group! Not all Paleo eaters feel the need to preach about it. However I find most people that bash it are those that aren't able to be that controlled with their diet.

Keeping me on track as always Yo, thanks girl xx

Personally it's changed how I feel about food. Whether you disagree or not and who you choose to believe is up to you but I no longer have to eat every three hours, I don't have any blood sugar problems anymore, I feel an deeply satisfied in this way of life. You can't deny the over 2 million people that live this life,…

Which is exactly why it's your job to re educate them on their diet. I have never had trouble with this with any of my clients. There are also a number of companies that now sell food based vitamins: Terra Nova, Garden of Life, Rainbow etc...

As I noted....I haven't looked into them. You'd have to do the ground work yourself :) Edit: he also linked to this http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/april2005/130405aspartamelink.htm

I'm not educated in the political state of other countries regarding this topic. Unfortunately there's only so much time in the day lol. I'm not arguing with you, just saying maybe you should question it, look a bit deeper. You may come to the same conclusion, you may not.

From a politics point of view take a look at this link that also notes studies done on humans showing negative effects of aspartame that were indendantly funded. Also note further down where it states that FDA were caught removing data to reach the desired outcome in this regard. Note that I haven't looked into these…

Because I've looked into the food politics behind the issue, how it was passed as safe and how studies that could prove otherwise usually have their funding withdrawn etc As I said before, I am undecided on the issue but just because government funded research says its safe....doesn't convince me it is. In my opinion it…

No in fact it doesn't challenge my beliefs. Not did I make it a personal issue. Do you believe everything your government tells you?

Do you not wonder why there's no conflicting studies yet many many people that feel they have a reaction? Btw I am undecided on this issue, I choose to not include it in my diet because the products that contain them have no nutritional benefit. I am however well versed in food politics and this is why it bothers me.

Or that food politics reigns once again.

Considering your qualifications, from one professional to another.....do you not consider the health of your clients to be more important? Any obese client should be focusing their diet on nutritionally dense foods, including vegetables etc.. and this certainly wouldn't be difficult on VLCD either.
