I don&#39;t think it&#39;s necessarily &quot;better&quot; to eat just two or three meals a day compared to five or six smaller ones...After all, &quot;Grok&quot; would definitely be snacking on berries/seeds or what have you on a hunting excursion...</p> <p>But regardless, I do eat full meals...This morning I had 3 eggs, 2 slices of bacon, and 3 summer squashes sauted in butter...Could definitely eat two hours later! Usually I&#39;ll have 5-6oz. of meat and some vegetable in butter, which I would consider a &quot;full meal&quot;. I think it may have something to do with my body composition, age and metabolism...I&#39;m young, very slender, and have a lot of lean muscle mass. Perhaps I just burn through food quickly? :)</p> <p>Insulin doesn&#39;t spike much when you eat primal snacks...Eating a carrot and some sunbutter isn&#39;t really going to be that detrimental..I&#39;m not too worried about that, it&#39;s just almost obnoxious that I&#39;m hungry so often. How do you feel when you finish a meal? Full, stuffed, or just satiated? </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/do-you-eat-less-food-now#post-41813 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 18:19:06 +0000 Nick Hoffman 41813@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>Consider these 2 facts:<br /> * fat is very high in calories;<br /> * the paleo/PB diet contains a lot more fat than veg, vegan, and CW diets.</p> <p>Does this lead most people who are on the paleo/PB diet to consume less food? </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/question-on-abdominal-weight#post-41812 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 18:12:29 +0000 Jess 41812@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>@Cody, don&#39;t bother with &quot;cardio&quot;...I&#39;m going to be so bold to say that it&#39;s pretty unnecessary.

But all other grains, even brown rice make me feel bloated and give me heartburn. Dr.Harris of PaNu says potato and white rice are ok if you must eat starch. I&#39;m not endorsing grains, just saying if you&#39;re in a situation where you have to eat non-primal stuff, then white rice might be the lesser of the evils.</p> <p>Raphael, save about 1C of the soaked water in the refrigerator and add it the the next time you soak brown rice. And when you keep doing this the phytase content in the water increases and helps neutralize the phytic acid in the rice. Read Stephen&#39; blog for more info. I have a bottle of, hopefully phytase-rich, water in the refrigerator. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/reverting-to-the-sad-%e2%80%93-an-experiment-caution-%e2%80%93-end-is-a-little-gross#post-41803 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:54:51 +0000 mrd232 41803@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>I can eat white rice with little consequence (other than some bloating/carb rush). High gluten grains are the ones that seem to give me stomach problems, though. If I continue to eat them, I usually have to go back to taking Tums or OTC heartburn meds on a regular basis. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/7-day-water-fast#post-41802 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:51:51 +0000 ASnutrition 41802@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>I would take a look at some of the fasting threads from before. Ideally, it would not be as healthy for you to start off fasting. As animals do, we store our toxins in our fat. So when we start to burn fat, those toxins are released into our blood stream and let free to damage our body. Without healthy organ function, primalirly in the liver, there&#39;s going to be a lot of unnecessary damage being done. I defnitely would not start fasting for a few weeks or even longer; this needs to be about getting healthy and not losing the largest amount of weight the fastest. </p> <p>If you decide to still go on with the fast, I would go out and buy a milk thistle supplement (liver support), and definitely still get your antioxidants and vitamins in. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/question-on-abdominal-weight#post-41801 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:48:47 +0000 ASnutrition 41801@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>When you get to that stage where you think you&#39;ve tried everything, maybe it&#39;s time to look at hormones.<br /> Prominence:<br /> Estrogen Receptors- quads/glutes, lower abs<br /> Androgen Receptors- chin, tricep/lower arms, chest<br /> Insulin Receptors- &quot;love handles&quot;, Sub-scapular<br /> Cortisol Receptors-gut region<br /> Signs of sluggish thyroid hormones or thyroid: mid axillary </p> <p>So when I say the above I mean that fat is stored in these areas, and can be related to an imbalance or problem with the receptors. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/why-organic-food-mark/page/2#post-41800 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:48:22 +0000 Sir Grandma 41800@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>complicated topic. too many variables.
