No, it is not normal to feel starving. It is damaging to your metabolism to feel this way. Your basal metabolic rate WILL slow down if you starve your cells of energy. You are right in your gut feeling that it "shouldn't be this hard." I used to think that thin people were the ones with will power, and that the reason I…

@Cadori Undoubtedly, there is a slight effect from freezing, but insignificant compared to cooking. It would be a task to get fresh, raw, grassfed beef liver on a regular basis. Buying local also means short time travel time from slaughter to storage, which helps preserve nutrients. I think a deep freezer, with very little…

@nvmomketo Great lecture! Seems to be in line with an article a read a while ago, by Amy Berger http://www.tuitnutrition.com/2017/07/gluconeogenesis.html I wasn't really concerned about protein turning into sugar, but I had no idea how independently powerful protein was on metabolism! I thought eating to satiety was good…

@nvmomketo yes, there is more nutrition in raw beef liver, just like raw egg yolk! I tried cooking and eating liver several times, and I just couldn't do it. Plus once you cook it up, it doesn't keep as long. I found this neat solution online. Also, I a huge amount of beef liver in my deep freezer to go through (I…

@Sunny_Bunny_ I wish I was organized and took pictures like that! Kids and work keep me going non-stop. I think I was under-eating protein because fasting has become so effortless, I'm so busy, there's almost nothing decent to eat outside of home-cooked food, and I figured one or two large meals per day was sufficient. I…

There's nothing unhealthy about replacing electrolytes. No one said that. You trying to confuse the discussion. There is something inherently unhealthy about consuming simple sugars in any context. If you aren't clear, read the review from Open Heart by Dr. DiNicolantonio. I'm not sure how you think I'll "fall off my high…

Well, that's probably the least detrimental context in which to drink gatorade, but I still would not consider it healthy by a long stretch! I can run 10 miles without needing any kind of simple sugars to replace my glycogen stores, but, then again, my cells are fat-adapted, and I don't run out of glycogen very easily.…

So you think Gatorade, aka sugar water, aids athletic performance? And are you suggesting it is a healthy drink? Yeah, I completely disagree with you. I agree with Dr. DiNicolantonio. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4975866/pdf/openhrt-2016-000469.pdf Dr. DiNicolantonio is a cardiovascular research scientist…

Gatorade Sport Science Institute! LMAO

MFP can count many other things besides calories, FWIW.

To be clear, counting calories can and does work, especially in the short term. You can white knuckle weight loss for a period of time. But what happens when you stop counting? And when are young children expected to begin this supposedly life-long task? And what about during the weight loss, when one is feeling hungry…

@coreyreichle Right! Today's method is even less accurate. It is based on estimations created using the original method. I asked you if you read it. I did not simply assume you didn't. I both read it and understood it--and it does not support your original argument.
-
@coreyreichle Did you read that guy's article? He simply explained exactly what I did. Again, no scientific evidence that the human body works like a bomb calorimeter.

Oh, really? @Packerjohn Do you have a PhD in nutrition behind your name? Maybe you can explain the deep scientific validity of the calorie. Your response demonstrates a classic logical fallacy known as an appeal to authority. It sounds convincing, but actually undermines the soundness your argument. A calorie is a…
