People are obviously underestimating NDs, and I think most of America does. Its a shame because I think there are so many people currently seeing conventional doctors that would benefit so much from...

Thanks Drumroll,
No plans to quit lifting here, just frustration that I don't think I'm getting all that I should be out of the lifting I'm doing. Also, while cortisol is catabolic, low cortisol is...

I'm going to go ahead and clarify some things, as it seems i may have started a little battle over here. OK, so yes, my doctor is a "naturopath," but please let me explain what this means. I feel...

Thanks everyone for the replies!

My levels are 319 ng. I see a naturopath because every doctor who I've ever seen in my life has immediately tried to pump me ful of drugs that I don't trust (my...

Hey guys,
So I recently went to the doctor for lab work and it turns out I have low...

Well, yeah. 17% for a guy isn't that low, and I've got some excess fat on my chest anf lower back that don't respond at all to caloric restriction. Lifting heavy and eating clean got me here, but I...

Hey guys,
So I recently went to the doctor for lab work and it turns out I have low testosterone and low cortisol. I'm a 19 yr old male and she said the testosterone levels were that of an aging...

Thanks for the suggestion namelesswonder! While dairy does bother my tummy a bit, I meant more like water bloat/water retention in my original post. Its the psychological effects of holding a few...

Tapioca starch, carrageenan, sunflower lecithin, natural flavor. Tapioca isn't primal. Carrageenan is a thickener that while I believe is plant-derived still goes under chemical restructuring. It is...

Wow guys, thanks for the replies. I agree with most of you, in that I really can't know what's going on in other people's lives, and that I shouldn't care. My biggest weakness is comparing myself to...

Wayne and Owly, y'all have a great point. You never really know what someone is like once they're out of your site. While most of my friends know I used to be overweight, none of them know the...

I agree, and I too try not to be hard on myself; however, it really is a life-long struggle and sometimes I have good days... and sometimes I have days that are awful. Hopefully, through enough...

Even though I've more or less reached a sustainable goal for my weight (although I'd loveee to lose a few more pounds of fat but who wouldn't?) I still can't help but get super pissed and jealous...

It does seem like everyone reacts a bit differently. I did some "research" (google hehe) and I found one interesting although relatively unscientific study that basically said different people have...

Hey guys! I'll keep this one short and sweet: basically, I used to drink 2-3 cups of coffee every day with a little cream or just black. This past weekend I unintentionally went three days with no...

You're going to need to post your height, gender, weight, activity level (other than jazzercise), and how much/what you eat on a daily basis. Give us an idea of calories if you can!

Thanks for the feedback! I know I definitely need to chill out about trying to lose weight, and over the last few months I've gotten better about it so hopefully I'll reach a point soon where I can...

Thanks so much for the quick reply! You have a pretty high activity level so it makes sense you can eat a good bit and not balloon up! To answer your questions: I'm 19, male, 5'7", 160 lbs

And...

Hey Sakura_girl! I've been reading through your journal a bit, and forgive me for asking a question that I'm sure has been asked of you already, but how do you manage to eat so much and not gain a...

Hey guys! I've been following this thread since it began and I think its about time I finally give this a go! I lost around 80 pounds over two years ago and through a lot of working out, and to be...

Thanks Jakey! I thought that it may be just the visual effect but I was still like WTFFFFF! Hopefully the next few weeks/months will improve it all.

Quick Info:

Age: 20
Gender: Male
Height: 5'7"
Weight: ~165lbs
Activity Level: 4-8 hours slow movement/ week and 3 days heavy lifting along with about once a week metcon style workout that...

Paleobird, what's your opinion on ketosis for the younger or more active people on these boards? I'm a young male and while I'm not super active, I do lift heavy 3x week. I have some weight (last 10...
