  • The name of the article you linked is: "Saturated Fats Not So Bad? Not So Fast, Critics of New Analysis Say" I think it's making the opposite point to what you were claiming. Also in the article: Also noteworthy is that after reviewing the findings, the American Heart Association decided not to change its recommendations…
    in How much fat is too much? Comment by peter56765 September 2014
  • You gain the weight back. I did low carb for about a year and a half. Yes, I lost weight. Yes, it beat down the hunger beast. BUT the diet is pretty damn monotonous. You essentially shut yourself out of about 90% of all restaurant food and 2/3rds of the aisles at the grocery store. So, yeah, I gained it all back and then…
    in Keto diet Comment by peter56765 September 2014
  • I tried low carbing it several years ago and lost 45 lbs. It's an easy diet and cutting carbs really does curb your appetite. Trouble is, you've got to stick with it for the rest of your life. Slip up and you'll feel all wonky and have to spend a few days getting back to ketosis. Ultimately, I found the diet too difficult…
    in Carbs are BAD!!! Comment by peter56765 September 2014
  • I did Atkins 6 years ago and lost a decent amount of weight. Trouble is, it's highly unlikely you're going to eat like that for the rest of your life. Why would you even want to? There's simply just too much really awesome food out there that is high in carbs, including most desserts. So after about a year, I strayed and…

  • We're talking, what? 70-80 calories at most for 2 tbsp? Put the cream in and enjoy your coffee. Mornings are hard enough.

    in sweet potatoe casserole slow cooker Comment by peter56765 June 2014
  • "A standard meal at a fast food joint consumed 90% of the calories I should eat every day" I think it has more to do with the evolving definition of what a "standard" meal is. A standard meal at McDonalds used to mean a hamburger, regular fries and a regular coke. That's 620 calories, 480 if you go with a diet coke. That's…
    in Shockers when you started paying attention to calories? Comment by peter56765 May 2014
  • A cheap watch to measure the time and google maps to measure the distance. If you don't have a watch, just check the time before going out and when you come back. Cost to you $0. This site uses google maps to make the distance measurement easy: gmap-pedometer.com.
    in What App do you use to track your running? Comment by peter56765 April 2014
  • In my experience, a lot of problems people have with running are due to pacing. Simply put: Slow down! You are not in a race, and even if you find yourself in one, you should be running for you, not to beat other people. Unfortunately, when running outside it's very hard to pace yourself so my advice is going to be the…
    in Running - am I only one who struggles ridiculously? Comment by peter56765 April 2014
  • The American Heart Association disagrees. Eating a lot of saturated fat is a risk factor for heart disease, along with diabetes, family history, smoking, hypertension, obesity, age, eating too many refined carbs, and not getting enough exercise. The more risk factors you have, the greater the chances you will eventually…
    in Going over on my fat - but its healthy fat. A problem? Comment by peter56765 April 2014
  • After looking over the various studies on the subject, Harvard University disagrees: http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/fats-full-story/ This is misleading. Recommended saturated fat intake is supposed to be no more than 25% of your total fat intake, meaning anything above that percentage is a food high in…
    in Trying to lose weight and lower cholesterol Comment by peter56765 March 2014
  • Yes and no. Going over on healthy fats, like what's found in most nuts, avocados, peanut butter, fish, olive/canola oil is not a problem. Saturated fats and trans fats, however, are bad for you so you want to watch you intake of foods like butter, cream, cheese, beef, chocolate (sorry!), sausages, tropical oils, margarine,…

  • Suit yourself. You can eat undercooked chicken and chances are you'll never get Salmonella either. I tried to post from reputable news sources however a simple google search will turn up dozens of articles about the issue. The fact that the FDA has rejected so many shipments of Asian seafood combined with the fact that…
    in Why not shrimps? Comment by peter56765 July 2013
  • I hate to rain on the shrimp love parade, but I tend to avoid shrimp unless I know where they came from. Most of the shrimp we eat in the US come from shrimp farms in China or Thailand. There have been numerous food safety issues with Asian farmed seafood, including outright import bans by the US and EU.…
