Natural. If you need something else for this to taste refreshing there is something wrong with your water or (more likely initially) your palate.

What I would guess is that your body is doing a good job of tapping into your fat reserves and your getting enough vitamins and minerals to not cause hunger from any deficit. If thats the case just keep listening to your body I would say, it will eventually want more food (wouldn't want to keep losing weight forever).

Do you think the initial users of X-rays understood the difference? Hard to think they deliberately gave themselves cancer. My point is that a lack of evidence that something is dangerous is not evidence that it is safe, especially the newer something is. There are no studies that prove microwave ovens are harmless in the…

There are myriad diseases in the developed world that kill and seriously disable, such as heart disease, cancers, Alzheimer's, etc. If there was a food that was causing these diseases I think it would be fair to characterize it as toxic. Lustig claims that food is sugar. The dosage at which it is causing these diseases is…

X-rays are just as basic but turns out they aren't that good for us. The difference with spinach is that it has been around for thousands of years and has been scientifically shown to have a myriad of health benefits in the long run. If you were referring to GM spinach then I would support prudently avoiding that because…

There are lots of amazing unprocessed foods and meals. My favorites: Sweet potato fries Oven finished grass fed steak / tuna / salmon Corn on the cob Unhemogenized fullfat milk ( or raw if you can safely get it) Cheese (or does that count as processed??? Either way it is delicious) Chilli con carne Fried (more stir fried)…

You must be starving! Look on the bright side, you already exercise and clearly have the willpower to control your eating despite getting so few nutrients, all you need to do is fix what you eat.

An alternative is to use a point system with ranges to change your behavior. I use something like this: 3 points for fresh food, meat on the bone, fermented/ sprouted foods or organ meats. 1 point if it's good -1 point if it's bad -3 if it's full of vegetable oil or sugar -5 if it's maccas/KFC/etc. Benefit of this is you…

Microwaves are new technology when measured by lifetimes. Scientists may have learned a lot about the human body and nutrition, but it is hubris to think we truly understand it's complexity. If we did we would be able to cure, not just treat the myriad of modern diseases that now exist. The OP may or may not be correct,…

I'm at day 27 and I feel great. I had planned for this to just be a month but I see no reason to go back to sugar. Even chocolate which I used to eat every day I know longer have cravings for. The first week was hell, I felt twitchy, angry and had really bad headaches. The cravings were more intense then I've ever had in…

If you are already thin (which it looks like you are) and you aren't getting enough calories it is physically impossible to be getting results at the gym. Those fast food binges wouldn't help either I wouldn't suspect, at least not compared to real food. As for why a shake makes you throw up, look at how those shakes are…

You can, but what you find is different foods are much better at getting you through the day, and you will be very weak and hungry if you eat too much junk and eat less then your daily calories. If you don't want to diet in the sense of giving up foods, you can try holding the line on calories and you will naturally be…
