"I track, I count carbs, I started with atkins it didn't work, I don't have thyroid issues, I work out" Questions: - When you say Atkins didn't...

I gotta agree with Zach on this. No one would argue that eating processed junk and fake food is a bad idea, and that there is no need to keep...

I've been pregnant twice- the first time I ditched my primal diet and ate bagels, bread, pizza, ice cream. You know, because I NEEDED those things. ...

Well, we left the country, so yes, ditched the ped too! To his credit, when we saw him last, the rash wasn't too bad and hadn't been there for long....

DaisyHair- What is your ketogenic diet like? Can you give an example of what you eat?

I totally can relate. I have had the same issues with the slippery slope of carbs. If I have a couple of pieces of fruit, some safe starch I...

This sounds so good to me. Although I love nut butters, so would love to incorporate those too- now I try to really limit them as I am afraid i'll...

Like, for example avocado rolled in nori wraps with sprouts and tahini... mmmmmm

Interesting!! I ask also b/c while I've always eaten meat and in my adult life really tended toward low starch, the food I really love are nuts,...

For me, it's not that I feel bad at 3-4 days. I actually feel good! So I don't think for me it's sugar addiction or carb flu. But like OP said,...

This is me almost exactly. I can usually make it past about 5 days- past that hump where I am pretty sure I've burned thru my glycogen stores. I...

How many days/weeks/months does it take of not a lot of food to affect the metabolism? If I have 10lbs to drop, and I am restricting carbs and...

Awesome. I totally buy this and (not that I am a wizard like Sisson et al) have spent much of my adult life subscribing to the all or nothing...

Zach- what is a more updated/ accurate carb "curb"/mentality?

Ok thanks- very good to know. My BMR came to 1397, and with the excersise formula, since I'm active, I multiplied by 1.5. Which gave me the 2000. I...

I'd like to join! Current weight: 135 Goal: 125 Daily calorie maintenance:2000 Calorie goal: 1200 Carb intake: 25g Protie intake: 56g The...

Otzi- I went thru 2lbs by mid afternoon and was starving! Probably would have needed at least another 1.5lbs to keep going. Does the appetite get...

Starting PPD today- bought 4kg's of potato this morning, thinking I'll make my way thru it over the next 5 days? Does that sound about right? Any...

10lb's in 6 weeks would be rad. The only other time I ever lost weight was when I cleaned my diet up about 8 years ago and slowly lost about...

I'm curious about that too- I haven't eaten much dairy in the last 3 years- I found it made me feel ill. Lately I've been working some into my diet...

I've been taking oil for about a week. Watching calories and with the exception of a couple of days, have stayed in 1200-1400 range (including oil)....

How long have you been taking the oil? I started about 5 days ago, and the first few days felt exactly as you say- eating a lot, even tho I didn't...

Well, I have small bones, broad shoulders and a lot of muscle. Quads are strong and big, arms pretty muscular, but layer of fat hides definition. I...
