A lot of witchy women on this thread. You can tell which posters like to have the power in the relationship instead of seeking a balance of mutual respect and sharing responsibility.

I am pretty strict, and this is the FIRST cheat recipe on here that looks acceptable to me :) Although, I don't eat oats, but for all you people who think you are horses it should be ok. heh

Jesus died in his 30's.

I have lost 14 lbs without even working out anywhere :P When I do workout, it's by going to the park, doing pushups and jumping jacks at home, or kettlebell at home. Gym's are the biggest ripoff ever b/c they know only a small percentage of those who sign up will ever use it. Use that money to buy a good juicer or some…

Well, found this with some Googling. **University of California San Francisco School of Medicine** Metabolic and physiologic improvements from consuming a paleolithic, hunter-gatherer type diet. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19209185?dopt=Abstract Published Research http://thepaleodiet.com/published-research

Paleo diets haven’t yet drawn the attention of many researchers, so to demand statistics and studies is pointless. We have anecdotal evidence (people making a change in their diet and seeing results), we have theory, we have books. So, unless you are willing to consider those the conversation is pointless. What if the…

HDL, Triglycerides, LDL, Total cholesterol, Blood Glucose ... has this been talked about. Doesn't the Paleo lifestyle improve the numbers almost always? There is a lot of anecdotal evidence of this. At least enough for it to be considered. There is more to health than what you see in the mirror when you are 25 years old.

In case you’re skeptical that observational studies can run disturbingly contrary to reality, look no further than the hormone replacement therapy craze that peaked a few decades ago. By 1991, 30 observational studies - including this one based on none other than the Nurses’ Health data (the same that did this beef scare…

What we’ve got here is a garden-variety observational study, not an actual experiment where people change something specific they’re doing and thus make it possible to determine cause and effect. Trying to find “proof” in an observational study is like trying to make a penguin lactate. It just ain’t happening… ever.

Use common sense. Natural sodium is not as bad for you as artificial sodium. It's no secret that prolonged high sodium exposure has detrimental health effects. Be sure you drink a lot of water when intaking high amounts of sodium. The FDA recommendation is 2500mg, but it is well known among us that do our own research that…

There is a Scandanavian film called Troll Hunter. It's surprisingly good and scary. It's on Netflix 'watch it now', it's subtitled so you have to actually watch it :) Anyways, thought it was very clever and scary.

- The Ring (watched alone in my bedroom... and had a tv at the foot of my bed! Didn't sleep well that night) - Event Horizon (that movie is F'd up!) My fav scary movies are Signs and Zombieland. Yeah, not totally scary, but fun :)

Let's all post links to things that support or preconceived beliefs. The thread is a waste of time because everyone is entrenched in their dogmas. 1970 - Global Ice Age Coming!!! 2000 - the world is going to ignite!!!! 2010 - Ok, maybe not, but we have to get excited about something terrible! Science is always changing and…

No, so exactly what I said. You are making irrational conclusions and TROLLING because that is all you do here.

1. Our digestive processes didn’t evolve to maximize the effectiveness of grain consumption. Just because you can tolerate grains to a certain degree, as just about all of us can, doesn’t mean your body was designed for them or that they’re truly healthy for you. 2. I bet I could find some people with rockin bodies that…

You have to be kidding. People died from infected teeth and being mauled by wild animals back then. To directly tie lifespan to diet is plain stupid.

For those of you who think eating fat makes you gain weight, watch Fat Head so we can end this discussion.

Forks Over Knives. I watched it and something felt weird. I did my own research and came to the conclusion that it's a big propaganda piece that cherry picks studies and scientists to supports it's cause. It is not objective by any means and I feel it was very misleading.

I bet this study had an agenda. I bet the researchers are vegans, lol. Red meat is PART of a balanced diet. It provides many minerals and nutrients we need. It also brings happiness :)

Just want to point out two things that bother me personally. 1) Someone claiming angel food cake has less calories. I am guessing that is because it's serving size is less because it's mostly air? Or is it really less cals per gram? 2) Fat free icing... with 1 cup of corn syrup!??! That's like, this cigarette is nicotine…

Answer this. Would you rather have: 1) Low cal cake with lots of chemicals and preservatives and other $%^& messing with your body, OR 2) A natural cake with ingredients your body was made to digest and don't cause cancer or diabetes? If 1, go ahead and eat man-made artificial sweeteners etc :) If 2, I would suggest a…

If thinking about Atkins, consider watching the documentary FatHead. It's pro-low carb, but cautious about Atkins.

Your oratory skills are truly mesmerizing.

Yeah, I was looking through his food diary and if anything I would say it was too low in good fats! And since your brain is made of fat... no, no relation there right.

I just ate at Champa last week!

If any of you drink, meetup at Lonerider Brewery sometime? Near Brier Creek.

The OP had a Snickers bar for lunch Friday. Hope your high carb theory is correct! Just looking at your food diary, you are really carb heavy and light on protein. I don't think any nutritionist would condone that. That said, no one on here ever changes their belief system. So, all this talk is rather pointless.

Bye thread, nice knowing you. Apparently everyone is dogmatic about their nutritional knowledge.

Are you saying carbs don't drive insulin production????? And to the effects of that, from the MAYO clinic: "When your blood sugar and insulin levels stay high, or cycle up and down rapidly, your body has trouble responding and over time this could contribute to insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is associated with a…
