Good way to get bowel cancer. You would go into ketosis unless you eat really freshly killed raw meat like Eskimos do that still has glycogen in the muscles.

Vegetarian with limited dairy due to a intolerance. I'd love some new friends on here.

Fruit is not just straight fruitose. It contains alot of fibre and very important vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. It has some of the highest good nutrients in it of any food (after green leafy vegetables). The fibre slows the absorbion of fruitose so the effect you describe from the paper doesn't actually apply…

Not quite true. There is actually very good scientific evidence otherwise. 'The China Study' (Dr Colin Campbell) shows that while there are huge positive effects to anyone increasing their nutrients from eating more fruit and veg, one of the issues with dairy meat etc is it's effect on increased cancer. Casein which is a…

My staples are: - soy milk (for cappachinos, nothing else froths as well in my opinion) - almond milk (for cereal or cooking) - nuts and seeds. I don't overdo these but i'll sometimes sprinkle some on salads or make my own nut/seed milks - kefir grains! This one is a bit unusual. I got some off ebay a while back and i make…

I did the PCRM 21 day Vegan Kickstart program. It is completely free and run by doctors and nutritionists. At the beginning of each month they run a new challenge. You just sign up to their emails and they send you recipes and eating guidelines and there are videos from famous vegan celebrities to encourage you along the…

I bought an omniblend blender. It is about half the price of a vitamix and reviews online reckoned it was about 95% as good as a vitamix. I'm very pleased with it. This morning's green smoothie: Spinach, pineapple, banana, chia seeds, peach and almond milk. Was very yummy.

I have read the original study of this. To try and account for differences based on lifestyle or genetics rather than diet they compared Seventh Day Adventists who followed the plant based diet versus other Seventh Day Adventists who did not but had the same lifestyle. Still not perfect i know, but about as good as you can…

Can you have tofu? Almonds? Important to find something with a higher protein content - although you can get quite a bit from grains. What about something like risotto and put into it whatever veggies you can eat. Same goes pasta. If you can eat cheese that can be the protein source for both of these meals. Also quinoa is…

i am finally at the point i'm getting faster barefoot than i ever was in shoes. And yes now no shin splints. But it takes time. I didn't do anything in particular to get faster. I don't even feel faster. I am still relatively slow compared to most people. Don't stress about it. One of the whole points of barefoot running…

There is more and more research building that suggests a high protein diet will reduce lifespan. There is the kidney issue of your body having to process extra toxins. But the lifespan research is actual about some other kind of effect protein has on your body. It basically puts it into overdrive. So you life fast and…

You are right on! Paleolithic people did eat all sorts of different thinks in the past --- including oh my gosh - GRAINS!!!! The argument that the modern Paleolithic diet has anything to do with what past people ate is flawed. If people find that when they follow this diet they get benefits then good for them. If you are…

Nothing is going to be as accurate at recording exercise as a HRM. I've found the best combination for me is to wear my fitbit and use it to keep track of my daily activity and use a HRM whenever i do exercise. If all you care about using one of these devices then is daily activity and having a site workout your TDEE for…

Yes one thing that really wasn't covered also was how this kind of diet effected performance. Would eating like this mean losing lots of strength? They did lower their fat % though which suggests a higher proportion of muscle. But i just can't imagine doing any exercise on a day that i've only eaten 500 cals. i know there…

Just got a shiny new pair of Spyridons and test run them on pavement, road, gravel and sand. Was great on all those surfaces. Amazed how the rocks didn't hurt on the gravel. Love them!

I've been doing Stronglifts now for about a month. Stats as of yesterday are: Squats: 132lb (60kg) Deadlifts - 187lbs (85kg) Overhead press - 77 lb (35kg) Bench press - 77lb (35kg) Barbell Row 77lb (35kg) Still getting all my 5x5 reps in. Feel like i'm starting to hit my limit on the Squats and Deadlifts (am very sore…

The way i use my fitbit is to track my TDEE on average per day using a whole week's data. I don't eat back whatever cals fitbit has sent to MFP nor do i use them in any calculations to see if i need to eat more to hit my BMR. I'm logging exercise though on MFP with my HRM though so if i'd done so much formal exercise that…

Everything everyone else has said about C25K. Plus since you are an ultra beginner (like i was recently) you could benefit from working on your running style. Particuarly if you find you are getting any injuries along the way (or even if you are not because a better style can save injuries). I was getting horrible shin…

Sounds to me like you are eating FAR too little, especially given the amount of exercise you are doing. This is probably going to make your 'Cheat Days' even more disastrous as your body is probably in starvation mode and the minute you give it lots of food on a Sunday it is going to store every little bit of it up for…

Funny how the extra information and technology actually makes things more difficult for most people. It has taken me weeks to work out what works for me. I think it would be good if there was a sticky thread on here with some ideas of what people can do. My method as outlined above works for me, but there are probably a…

jealous. I totally want a pair. I use dunlop volleys for my lifting. They are probably similar to converses. I've seen heaps of guys lifting in them on crossfit vids so i figure they are probably good. Would rather vibrams though, but they cost a fortune here.

Congratulations! Is the pain you describe from the bar digging into your back/neck area? They make pads you can strap onto the barbell for squats. Your gym may have one if you workout at a gym. If not then you can just wrap either a towel or a yoga mat around the bar to give it some padding. I use a yoga mat a soft fabric…

I'm doing EMTWL and use a fitbit and i think i've now got a system that works well for me. Ok so after doing a week or 2 recording with your device log on and see what average burn is per day over a whole week. So fitbit's website lets you look at a week and says what the overal burn is and i just divide it by 7. Then to…
