Reduced carbs and EXHAUSTED
I recently started experimenting with lowering my carb intake by TOTALLY going grain free. I previously would include some low allergen gluten free grains. The first week in (last week), I felt great. Digestion was at it's peak, I was satiated and happy. The last two days I can barely drag myself out of bed. I feel dizzy,…

Looking for some paleo friendly friends
I've been eating a modified paleo diet for a few years now and an looking to ad some paleo-friendly friends to help encourage me to lead a more primal sort of lifestyle. I still struggle with chronic cardio and enjoy a slice of gluten free bread with my eggs in the morning and the occasional seasonal cob of corn :) I'd…

Garmin HR Monitor and Calorie burn
I just got a Garmin 410 HR monitor and did one of my super challenging hill workouts. My average HR for 55min was 176bpm with a max of 187. I ran 5km and 2500ft of elevation. The calorie readout said I only burned 433 cals. I found this shocking. I've been WAY overestimating my numbers for years now. Anyone else have a…

Can't seem to loose on 1300-1500 cals per day
I am a bit stumped. I recently put on a few pounds and would like to get back down to my previous weight of 108. I exercise very regularly burning between 400-900 calories a session. I eat rather clean and incorporate sea vegetables to help my thyroid. I don't eat a lot of carbs. What's up? I usually eat about 1300-1500…

How many miles per week? Anyone running trails?
Just curious...how many miles are you running per week? I run about 30-50 on trails. I usually just log them as 6miles/hr but I know I'm likely burning more with thousands of feet elevation gain and uneven surfaces. Anyone else out there running trails? If so, how do you log them?

Best heart rate monitor for calorie burn and distance
I'm curious what peoples experiences are with HR monitors. I want a good one to track calorie burn (so I can make sure I eat enough) as well as track my distance when I trail run or go out rowing. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Can't net 1200
I can never seem to net 1200 calories on days when I'm active (most days). Today I'm barely clearing 400. I've been doing this for years and haven't gained or lost weight. If I eat more, I'll gain. I'm not sure about the whole starvation mode, I don't feel like I'm starving but...it's been so long, it's hard to tell.…

Working 18 hour days
I work as an on call obstetrical care provider. If I get called at 0300 and eat breakfast then should I be eating an extra meal if I don't get to bed by 2200 at night? Should I increase my caloric intake to account for the extra time spent working on my feet? Just wondering?

No period for 3 years- calorie deficits
After the sudden tragic loss of my husband 3 years ago my periods stopped. Part of it I believe was stress of losing him, part of it was the stress of a busy medical residency and the final piece of the puzzle is that my training dramatically increased to help me cope with all the stress. My calorie consumption declined…
