You are telling me the reason diabetic people don't eat higher carbs is to prevent fat gain? Under what mechanism would they gain fat via carbs if they don't even elicit an INSULIN RESPONSE? High levels of blood glucose = very dangerous, as that's how limbs get amputated and blindness occurs. The main reason to adopt a…

Not eating "breakfast" or any food until 5-6 pm today.

That's NOT why diabetics eat low carb. They eat low carb because excessive blood glucose = dangerous. There is not an added risk of fat gain as insulin isn't even secreted in patients who are diabetic. It's for general health purposes. Furthermore, carbs are stored as GLYCOGEN and synthesized as such. The idea that carbs…

So if you eat 20,000 calories of fat and protein, you will never increase your body fat stores? http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/how-we-get-fat.html

He's a perfect example as to why you should NOT feel the urge to listen to MDs preaching nutrition. Guy still believes in the lipid hypothesis. Which has been proven to be incorrect by years of research.

No problem on my end with this.

Because you keep accusing us of being trolls and getting off on arguing, while we have supplied facts and you have not. What do you make of the article, then? Do you understand why a diet that has processed carbs is not worse from a metabolic standpoint?

Was my response directed towards you, or another poster? Have you read our links yet? Or is ignorance too bliss to challenge your own preconceived notions?

No one has an issue with that. There's an issue with claiming grains, dairy, and legumes are bad, though, and having ZERO proper empirical evidence to support such a claim.

Forget ratios. Set your protein intake (1g per pound LBM for active individuals), try to hit ~.45g fat per pound body weight, and fill in the rest with what you like.

Maybe being wrong, getting called out, and then going into defensive mode makes you hit your goals quicker. The pendulum of judgment goes both ways. Are you going to keep sitting here pouting, or maybe learn something by reading the links we've provided? Call us blunt if you want, but we're at least offering information…

Fair enough. OP - there is no health advantage to a paleolithic diet than a non-paleolithic diet assuming your calories are moderated, macronutrients balanced, and minimal micronutrients met. Clear?

Why are you trying to criticize me for simply telling you that you have misconceptions regarding nutrition and the body's metabolic response to macronutrients? You are spouting ideas that are false. While they may work for YOU, you act as though paleo is somehow superior to a non-paleo diet. If you said, "I like paleo, but…

And I bet there were flaws with the research designs (non-isocaloric diets, not human models, specific to diabetic patients, etc.) OR the research is vastly outdated. Or both. Nothing you say will change my mind UNLESS you prove it. I could dig up loads of research showing glycemic index to be meaningless for people…

What is dietary fat stored as? So a high fat diet has you eating and GAINING more fat, but burning more fat. But...GAINING more fat, too. Don't forget that. A higher carb diet has you burning less fat but also gaining LESS fat. Remember that. Now, you were saying? Zero empirical foundation for this claim. Just because YOU…

Uh, yes. I would. MFP probably doesn't use an efficient calculator when estimating BMR.

Ask them for scientific research to back up their claims, then. Randomized clinical trials performed on adults who eat balanced diets and preferably do not lead sedentary lifestyles. If your doctor told you smoking was not dangerous, would you agree or disagree with him/her? Why? If you disagree, HE'S A DOCTOR! HOW COULD…

Uh, yeah, because eating 1200 - 1300 calories for someone of your weight is undereating. ESPECIALLY if you are remotely active. So...what?

Then ditch it, bro. Replace it with something you enjoy - whether it is a protein shake or not!

And not a single so-called advantage specific to the paleo diet was posted that day...

For what reason is it no better than other calorie restrictive diets? Because it doesn't provide any additional benefits that can't be attained through a diet that matches it for calories/macronutrients/micronutrients while still incorporating gluten, lactose, etc. As the other poster mentioned - if you have an intolerance…

Paleo is silly and in no way advantageous to any other calorie restrictive diet.

I said I didn't mean to be rude. Reported for calling me a "choad."

The problem is you're focusing on the things in life that don't really matter. When I was a kid I had hopes and dreams. We all did. But over time, the daily grind gets in the way and you miss the things that really matter, even though they are right in front of you, staring you in the face. I think the next time you should…

Bleach is a good carb. OP you a fan of hockey by any chance?

It's not that I disagree with it; it's that science disagrees with it. Anyone promoting any type of diet without sufficient empirical backing and passing it off as truth = nonsense. That site is the same one that said something RIDICULOUS along the lines of 150+g carbs/day = insidious weight gain. Laughable. Just downright…

Saturated fat, along with just about everything else, is only unhealthy for people who eat crappy hypercaloric diets coupled with a sedentary lifestyle. Do you eat a healthy diet? Are you moderating calories? Are you balancing macronutrients and eating micronutrient-rich foods? Are you active? Then you can eat 50g…

Glucagon. And glycemic index is outdated by a good 7 years now :|
