[QUOTE=Gorbag;1104865]Why should I, when there are almost as many different versions as there are people having those symptoms? The symptoms are real enough, but are not related to any physiological adaption to fat burning…[/QUOTE]
I actually thought you might have something useful to say, obviously not.
Low carb/low fat will work, I am on a plan called Ideal Protein that is that way. Bulk of my calories are protein, but it is still a very low calorie diet, and keeps hunger and cravings at bay. That being said, you can do this in a paleo/primal way (that plan is NOT, except dinnertime), and yes you will lose weight fast.
Yes, I know which forum I'm on, looking forward to ditching packets for primal after I drop 10 more lb.
:-P
Lol, edited to add. I was just replying to OP, apparently there are 27 pages of posts!
I already updated with what I am doing.
I am NOT doing low carb, lower fat.
I did not read the entire thread, but isn't this what people called Faleo last year? Especially if you work out and you need fuel from somewhere?
Hi Ayla, any update on meeting with a naturopath? I'm curious what herbs and spices they recommended to you for insulin sensitivity.
I know there are a lot of good options out there, I'm just curious what the experts consider the best of the best.
[QUOTE=Omni;1103663]Have you looked at any of Stephen Phinneys work, he seems to be the King of Keto, done quite a bit of research in the area and particularly with atheletes, there was an video interview with him from the ancestral health symposium, google should find it pretty easy.[/QUOTE]
Thank you - I will check it out
[QUOTE=Gorbag;1102535]You are here showing clearly that you don't fully understand what CICO really is, but the principle as such is untouchable, unfortunately when most persons try to use it they usually make lots of mistakes, and it is not easy because there are so many parameters in play on both sides of the equation, so I think that the avarage Joe when dieting could have more focus on portion control instead of counting calories. Calories is just an abstract measure for energy in food and basically losing weight is always eating less than the body needs for energy, and gaining weight(fat) is also always eating more than needed for the daily energy expenditure. People tend to overthink and complicate this simple fact, and it's not exactly rocket science either...[/QUOTE]
Gorbag, have you read Taubes' opinion on CICO? It does a very good job of explaining why many people continue to gain weight on low calorie diets. Energy partitioning is the gist of his explanation. When on a high-carb diet that constantly stimulates insulin, the insulin will transport the dietary carb and fat into your fat and muscle cells, often disproportionately depending on your genetic predisposition. If you are more geared to depositing this fat and carb (which will be converted into free fatty acids) in your fat cells, whilst your muscles becoming insulin resistant, you will begin to feel lethargic due to your brain urging you to expend less energy since all the fatty acids are being stored away and not able to be extracted for energy.
Even if you eat 1500 cals/day, yet a large majority is coming from carbohydrates, you are essentially locking all the stored fat away due to a constant insulin drip from your pancreas. The only energy you are getting is from the transient source of carbohydrates in your diet. Again, you will become lethargic because your body is telling you that there is no available energy, so you must shut down and be sedentary. This is why it is so hard to get overweight and obese people to work out. Not because they are lazy, but because their brain is literally telling them to save their energy because it does not think it has any. Another great biochemical explanation on this can be found in Dr. Cate Shanahan's book, Deep Nutrition.
Taubes explains obesity as a hormonal imbalance. The reason we grow fat is not because we eat a lot, we eat a lot because we grow fat, just as a child does not grow taller because he eats, he eats because he grows taller. It's a hormonal phenomena, not a caloric problem.
[QUOTE=Gorbag;1101863]Most people??? How is it possible for the body to store fat if you are not eating MORE than the body need for energy expenditure? I would rather say that EVERYBODY got fat due to overeating, but in a few cases certain diseases can make people overeat, that's true...[/QUOTE]
Gorbag, this post alone displays that you do not understand the role of insulin in the body, which is absolutely vital to understand why people get fat.

What a load of bollocks.

At best, an insulin spike can make people's energy drop and/or make them hungry. Store fat even in a deficit? Nonsensical.
