Good grief, please eat the yolks. Sure, there's protein in whites, but you need the fat and choline from the yolks. http://www.cholesterol-and-health.com/Egg_Yolk.html By depriving yourself of the nutrients and cholesterol in egg yolks, you are seriously inhibiting your body's ability to heal. The medical community has…

What will keep you from feeling hungry is eating FAT. Proven time and again on the Paleo diet!! Fat takes twice as long to digest, and it does NOT end up on your body if you're eating the right kinds of fat. BACON, BACON, BACON in the morning, along with some avocado and an egg or two fried in real butter. Also, try to…

Nothing the FDA says can be believed. Keep that in mind. Their sole purpose is to keep us eating all the foods that make corporations happy. And I'm not a huge fan of Mercola - just able to see around the little game the government is playing with us. That said, I am a very respectful fan of Robb Wolf and Mark Sisson. They…

I think I'll have to agree with this idea - My name is Licia Harry, and I'm a scaleaholic. :) See you in September!

There are a lot of low-carbers here who you can friend, and if you're interested in Paleo nutrition I do know there is a forum community for them (wish I was more help). Low carb only really works if you drop grains and keep your (good) fat intake high. Welcome to MFP! Friend me if you'd like, I'm not very chatty most of…

I try to keep my fat grams around 120-160 for the day. Yep, you heard that right. I'm told it's actually better to aim higher. Carbs around 50-100, no wheat, no beans, and no refined sugars. Protein somewhere around 100. And I don't need to kill myself with exercise to lose weight. It drops.

Been doing PB since January, not as active as I should be but I've almost rid myself of every problem I had prior to that (like Type 2 diabetes). Feeling fantastic!! I've been on MFP for almost 2 months now. It's pretty easy once you get started and get past the grain and sugar cravings. After that, it's smooth sailing. :)

For those of us across the pond from the OP, a stone is about 14 pounds. :) You'll find you get a lot of support here. There are a lot of guys on here looking to slim down and bulk up.

If you are forced to do pizza, just eat the toppings off your slice. :)

Sister to Spirit, here. She's right about how you have to figure out what works best for you. I haven't had my gallbladder since 1984, though, and I'm having a very easy time digesting good saturated fats. My own experience of what works is keeping the bulk of my carbs in the first half of the day (only good ones, no…

Sounds like your Nutrition class is working on very old information. Do the research on your own, don't just take it for granted that what they're teaching you is gospel.

Zoi whole milk plain yogurt is a good substitute. Add some stevia for sweetness - no sugar calories. Look up Primal Blueprint for help in getting off sugar and grains (which add to the carb issue). It's similar to Atkins, but actually works long-term - it basically becomes a lifestyle change. After a month you won't miss…

I was just honest with the kids (7 and 13) and told them the truth about what food does to them. The kids are now refined sugar-free and gluten-free with the aim of being grain-free eventually. My 7 year old is very "on top of things" when we shop now, reading labels and making sure that sugar is not part of the food that…

This site may help some. I've been on thyroxine for a couple of years, just recently got off grains, artificial sweeteners and caffeine (month ago for all but grains, which I've eliminated for four months) and there's still no change in my weight. On this site, they explain why thyroxine isn't necessarily all you need.…

It's really pretty simple to do once you get past the craving for sugars and starches. Takes about a month before you stop missing grains and starches. I'm doing sort-of Paleo - I don't agree with the elimination of dairy, so that makes me more Primal Blueprint than Paleo. If you just cut the starchy vegetables back to an…

Any time you're burning calories OVER what you normally do during the day (so, mostly sedentary as normal in my case) should be counted. Spring cleaning, gardening, running after kids now that school's out (we're BORED), standing and cooking up amazing meals (lots of chopping, stirring, etc.) really should count. So I do…

I guess it would depend on the diet you're on. My family's paleo/primal so I like making seafood medley with shrimp, scallops, crab all sauteed in butter and coconut oil, add some coconut milk and heavy cream to that, splash in a little white wine and it's a go. Great over steamed kale! *forgot to add that we also love a…

Hi - I'm 50, so maybe I can sort of give you an idea of what goes on in the thought process. It took me years. Seriously. People had been trying to help me lose weight pretty much all my life, sometimes by force. Over the last ten years I started enjoying my life - everything was how I'd always wanted it EXCEPT my weight,…

Coffee cups are generally between 4 and 6 oz size. I just used my coffeemaker to check how much goes in - 2 cups of water came almost to the 4 serving mark. Hope that helps!

http://www.hulu.com/watch/196879/fat-head It's around an hour and 45 minutes of really good information, definitely worth watching. Keep in mind that a lot of it is tongue-in-cheek - I'm pretty sure Tom Naughton is a comedian on the side.

Saturated fat is necessary in your diet. Don't cut it out. Instead, look at the amount of grains you're eating and consider cutting back on those, if not completely eliminating them. (look up Mark's Daily Apple, there are some guides to fats there) If you'd rather try something other than butter, replace it with organic…
