Ok, at least I know it gets easier from here! Thanks

If I do have an overactive insulin response then won't carb cycling just continue to mess up my response? Some days super high and others super low seems quite taxing on the body! I like the idea of 100g/day though and keeping it at that. Is this sustainable long term? Thanks!

I have wondered if I was diabetic because of how hard I would crash but I'm also a hypochondriac and have convinced myself that I have had many diseases in the past. And I have no risk factors for diabetes whatsoever and it doesn't run in my family. The sensitivity to the ups and downs really only started after my bout of…

So should I continue to workout even though I have basically no energy at the moment? Or should I leave workouts until my body is better adjusted to the diet? And I have been going through bad keto flu for the last few days, extreme cravings being the biggest symptom. Very similar feelings as when I quit smoking. But today…

Thanks, I do have magnesium supplements, I should probably start taking that! And I've seen bouillon pop up quite a few times, I'll try that too! :)

Thanks but umayster is right, unfortunately it would just prolong the process =/

Awesome, thanks for the links!! I've tried IF before and it completely messed up my hormones, I stopped getting my period. I had heard it wasn't recommended for women but I had to try it out myself before judging :P But thanks!

Vegetarian :)

There would be absolutely no difference! But if you're on the bulletproof diet, you wouldn't be eating bread. It's a no-grain diet.

Yes.

Ah, much clearer, thank you. Possibly, although I am more inclined to believe a trainer's opinion than my own. Especially because in my country, trainers have to go through a vigorous year long course and have many classes on nutrition and basic biology before they are legally allowed to practice. I've heard that in North…

Awesome, thanks for the article! Will have to go over it :)

Did you use google translate or something? It's hard to make sense of what you're saying.

Ahh really interesting point! I never thought of it like that.

Yes on the heavy weightlifting! 5x a week. On the bioelectric impedance scales (which I know aren't the most accurate but the only bf measurement I have access to) I'm measured anywhere between 19-20% consistently. Which again I would like to clarify I KNOW I'm not overweight. But I'm just not as lean as many others who…

DERMASTAMP (or roller, but I think stamp works better)! Seriously, it almost annoys me that it isn't more well known. I think because not many people have the patience to stick with it long enough to actually see results. And it works wonders (and is cheap) which means if big companies promoted it, nobody would buy their…

Thanks for helping me start off my day with a smile :) Not just because of what you said but because of the fact you took the time to motivate others! Have an awesome day!

Take B12 supplements. It's really tough to get the B12 necessary in a vegan diet. Also, get a blood test every 3 months or so for the first year to make sure you're not defficient in anything, especially iron which is common with vegetarian / vegan diets! Good luck (:

If I could "like" or "thank" this post, I would. What an awesome way of looking at the problem.

I've been a vegetarian since I was 5 by choice and I just found out that I'm gluten and lactose intolerant too!! So like you I'm kind of wondering what the eff I can eat now haha I'm not too sure about the sulfites, but if your dairy and gluten intolerant than it should be pretty easy! The paleo diet is huge now, and it's…

75 for cheese and 100 for mayo.

Hahaha "Go forth and obsess about butts." I like how your mind works, sir.

I'm 19, 5'5'', 120lbs very active and maintain at 2200 a day.. It is a high number for your height/weight/activity level but as others have said, everyones metabolism is different. I'm sure you have super-skinny friends who can eat whatever they want and not gain a single pound. Then there are some who just have to look at…

I think if I ate whatever I wanted, I would be very overweight… I'd probably snack all day and be around 15kilos heavier.

Physically: I love beautiful Arab men. Personality: A wicked sense of humour and an unshakable determination to succeed in whatever they put their mind to.

Love it.

So you're saying you've gone the whole day on just over 600 calories? There's something wrong there, I can wolf that down in one shake, easy. 1'600 isn't even a very high goal. If you want to go the healthy root (which you should IMO) you need more nuts, protein powder, dried fruit etc… One of the best ways is just to…

*once not was! Oops

I was had a heroin addict (don't ask) comment on how bad my smoking was for my health. I had to laugh, ironic much? I have quit since then. I bet he hasn't...

Then carry on, sir.
