Yes insulin is a fat storing hormone

Try to determine what is making you feel bloated. It COULD be a gluten sensitivity. Your doctor can help determine that. But he will probably tell you what I'm telling your. Cut out all gluten food then reintroduce them one by one slowly and see what is making your feel bloated. If you are gluten sensitive paleo could be…

Porridge is a very poor choice PWO to be honest. You need glucose or dextrose and 40g of protien after endurance training like that. That being said if you aren't losing weight when you add the calories from your run either: a) you are tracking your calories incorrectly (which doesnt sound like it from what you said) or b)…

Can I just be real with your guys for a minute.... The ONLY people who NEED to low carb are people under 10% bodyfat. and it is a CYCLE not a permanent lifestyle change. It is done to prepare for a BB contest or cutting weight for a sport like boxing. The reason for lowcarb is to restrict you daily caloric intake to…

If you eat food your body uses it or stores it as fat. NOTHING will stop that. Overeat and create adipose tissue. Every single calorie

Um paleo to the extent that you are eating whole foods which are nutrient dense and not processed is good for your overall health. Paleo to the extent that is low carb is most likely not the answer to losing your last 10. While it is true that if you are extremely low in Body Fat (under 10%). You may need to do a low carb…

1. At 125 pounds you should probably increase your bodyweight for a man that is very low. I agree with the poster who said eat and build muscle. It will be healthier for you. 2. At 10-12km run, if that is the true distance, will burn about 700 calories. Your RMR should require at LEAST 1200. meaning on days you run you…

This is not entirely true. The reason to eat carbs at specific time is to control your insulin levels and when they are spiked. The reason to control insulin levels is maximize your body's insulin sensitivity and GH (growh hormone) levels. For example eating carbs late or anything (especially sugar) will spike insulin…

Look pretty good. But honestly your fat intake is too low. 30g isn't enough to maintain healthy bodily function. The recommended fat intake at its minimum is about 1g per Kilogram of body weight. For example I am 65 kilo I should eat around 65g of fat a day. Low fat is great because you can eat larger meals, but prolonged…

Don't lose hope! Weight loss is very easy! Its just something you have to chip away at. Honestly you should have lost at least 2 pounds if you are weighing yourself accurately and creating a caloric deficit. you may have to face the fact that you have only exercised and ate enough to be hitting maintenance calories. And…

yea I missed that. But ultimately what the OP of that comment was saying was true. You have to be careful about staying in a calorie deficit too long. You should be hitting maintenance of even exceeding maintenance occasionally to increase your metabolism, especially at lower levels of body fat.

There's a lot of good evidence that suggests that your daily macronutrient consumption is ultimately what matters in weight loss and meal timing is largely irrelevant. Again if can effect your metabolism, MINIMALLY, but that won't determine your overall weight loss success. You definitely need to eat though. I wouldn't…

That isn\t misinformation. If your body has a calorie deficit metabolism slows down (she didn't say gain weight, she said SLOWS DOWN metabolism). When you eat an excess of calories your metabolism speeds up. It is a well established fact that creating a deficit for prolonged periods of time interferes with the hormone…

Whatever works for people is fine. But this low-carb stuff is nonsense. Under 25g of carbs isn't healthy for you body, and due to the amount of unhealthy fats in bacon that isnt good for you either. If you find success with it its because your calories in are less than calories out and the effect of fat and protien intake…

Never be worried about exceeding you macronutrients, and sugar doesn't make a big difference either especially if its coming from fruits, vegetables and other healthy sources. Just worry about hitting your macronutrient NEEDS. the minimum amounts of carbs/fats/and protiens you need then the rest of the your macronutrient…

I saw that one..but I've seen many different ones also! I just dont want to be underestimating by 70cals twice a day. I was hoping someone maybe a little more educated on beef than myself would have some insight....
