Maybe the sodium comes from the salt in the sea water. They are sea not fresh water fish. I think you do not need to worry about the fat content, portion size or sodium content of fresh sardines one little bit. The omega 3 fats in them are very good for you for brain function and protection against heart disease. Not all…

www.paleotrack.com It will tell you your fat/protein/fat percentages, omega 3 to omega 6 balance and pottasium/sodium ratio. Plus a lot of other nutritional data. and give you badges for sugarfree, grain free etc. I use it to track now and come here for teh community stuff, as it doesn't have that.

Ywup. Not had a migraine since giving it up. Used to get one every 4 to 6 weeks. Plus now I have more money.

I did a blood test and found out I was intolerant to gluten, dairy and eggs. Cut these out and the weight just starting dropping off, even though I couldn't exercise due to a leg injury. If you eat something you are intolerant to regularly, it can damage your stomach lining so you cannot absorb the nutrients in your food…

Looks like you were intolerant to start with, and just so used to symptoms you didn't notice that much. You've had a break from them now, so the effect jumps out at you. Plus your body is saying to you "Go back to that? Hell no!" Maybe best listen to it...

I've struggled with depression and low moods on and off for years. And high fat, moderate protein low carb paleo has helped me greatly. The key thing for me is no refined/concentrated sugars. Really easy to stay out of the black hole if I avoid sugar and even paleo things like honey, dates, dried fruit. Really has helped…

To kalika47 I totally get that. If it is abuse the only thing to do is walk away. But I had trouble with my mother for years. A lot of criticism, trying to keep what went on between us private. Very, very harsh, no filter or tact. But then when I was a little older I saw the dynamic in the wider family. So I spoke to her…

I think this is a very, very hard thing to deal with. It must be very difficult for you to live with such a critical person. It's not ok. I would add one thing though, before we go too far down the verbal abuse route. It could be verbal abuse if he intends to belittle, humiliate or control you. Or it could be that he…

"No-one's perfect" Some Like It Hot

No. In my teens and twenties I would have said yes. I had loads of guy friends in my teens, twenties and early thirties. More male friends than female. Then from my mid-twenties a pattern emerged. With all my guy friends. Ranged from the declaration of undying love to the drunken pass. People who had been friends from 3 or…

I read that a *****y comment = being slightly threatened. So with all the surgery she is probably quite insecure about herown looks, and as you get fitter and healthier looking she is getting a little threatened by it. That also explains why you prefer the bad to the good- on some level you know that when people make…

All is full of love by Bjork

I wanted a townhall wedding with maybe half a dozen family and friends then go to a nice restaurant. I wanted just to get a nice dress I would wear again and buy a bunch of flowers by walking into a florist on the way there. This was largely because my family is tiny and my mum had died about 18 months beforehand. I also…

Exactly. I have taken my husband out two times in three years- both super special very over the top occasions an dhe loved it. But he would have been uncomfortable with anything more.

Veal and lamb meatballs 1kg veal mince 500g lamb mince pinch dried parsley ground black pepper to taste Mix all ingredients together in a bowl using your hands.

So she's not some squeaky clean angel. I don't think she has ever made herself out to be. She's been pretty open about her own struggles and challenges. She has never hidden the fact that she has a fairly passionate temper. I think it's kind of refreshing to see a successful woman who doesn't conform too much to…

Could be fructose malabsorption or you might struggle digesting cellulose ( insoluble fibre).

Hello Glad that being gluten free is working for you weight wise. Sorry to hear that you feel icky. When I was tested positive for gluten intolerance, I felt great at first, then bad. Had more tests and turned out I was also intolerant to dairy, eggs and almonds. A month or so I found the true gluten free diet. Basically…

I'm not quite at that stage (I have about 20-30 lbs to lose still, aiming for somewhere in 120-130 range). Got stuck round 158 for a long time, so here is some advice based on something that helped me break that long plateau after losing 40 pounds. Basically it revolved round reducing stress. For me that was : Exercising…

I cheated once, after about 3.5 months. It was vanilla ice-cream with crushed meringues and crumbled chocolate flakes. It was really not worth it. It didn't taste that good for a start. But I felt like crap for a week after, got a wee reminder of the acne on my back and face that had cleared up and to top it all I got a…

Pineapple or watermelon-once a week as a real treat. Lost 7lbs and 2 inches of my waist in 3 days when I realised fructose really didn't agree with me and switches to veggies. My tummy was like a balloon shrinking visibly before my eyes for three days. I did miss it at first, but ocassionally I binge and the pain makes me…

Macadamias are a pretty good source for me, as is bone marrow (yum) and bone soup enriched with a little grass fed beef dripping and reduced a little bit to emulsify. I also take about 5g of omega 3 supplement a day.

Well done!

Think it does. I used to be a 5.5-6 and now I am 5-5.5 having lost 40lbs. A former colleague lost over 130lbs and went from a 6 to a 3. She said she lost one shoe size fairly quickly and then the final two all at once when she got really close to her goal weight. Makes sense that the more weight you are carrying the more…

Totally agree it doesn't have to be breakfast food. I cook double for dinner the night before and have leftovers.

The thing I never get about US healthcare is how the US puts up with a situation were it spends such a high percentage of its gdp on healthcare but have so few people covered in so few circumstances. Most european countries have pretty universal healthcare and pay 9-12% of gdp for it. The US pays 18% of gdp for a system…

Berlin. Very varied cosmopolitan city and not too expensive.
