Oh, Charlie, I am so sorry to hear about your mother's cancer. I do hope that everything goes well for her!

I have no idea whether your body can reacclimate -- I just hope you won't be too disappointed when all those amazing foods don't taste as good as you remember. The only way to find out if you can...

Thank you, Wayne. I had been wondering about this.

We keep our central heating on minimally through the winter and I wondered whether that would be a bit of help with Cold thermogenesis...when...

Megan, you are describing my situation nine years ago -- except that in addition to be a fat diabetic, I was also "geriatric" new Mamma. While I was pregnant, I was able to keep my sugar down under a...

Corn is a grain -- most often a GM grain. If you want to make it part of your 20%, you could, but it wouldn't really be recommended. And yeah, that move theatre popcorn is a stale grain cooked in...

I think it comes down to the fact that my grandmothers generation was the last one before cooking came to be a "hobby" rather than a life skill. Most of the young folk I meet today are either...

Drumroll, I don't know your family, so I don't claim this will work for you -- but I often find that I can eat as much or as little as I want to of anything as long as I keep my mouth shut. I have...

It sounds to me like you may still be eating somrhting your sensitive to, Kymma. As time has gone on, I have had to eliminate more and more things that should, theoretically, be "OK in moderation". ...

Check out Dr Bernstein's Diabetes Solution. He has a very straightfrward plan for conquering insulin resistance/elevated blood glucise, and it's pretty easily compatible with the Blueprint.

I...

Yeah, it's very fine -- and we use a little of it in cooking, but I'm hard pressed to use two cups a week, and we have no chickens. ;)

Welcome, Tinay! Congratulations od sticking through it to day five!

It woks a little difefrently for us older gals than it does for the young folks -- but it does work. I didn't get into this...

Wait! You found a use for the almond meal leftover from making almond milk? Does it work with coconut meal leftover from making coconut milk?

Oh, man -- it's hard enough to get the family in bed without a TV. I can just imagine how tough it would be with one.

I just announce that I'm goign to bed, and then I go to bed. Usually the...

I agree with Damiana -- you'd be better off with real, whole milk, raw cheese once in a while, unless you're sensitive to dairy.

Welcome, Jenny,

Other than the blood pressure, you sound like me in 2008. I was diagnosed with diabetes more than 15 years ago, and for a long time, I was able to keep it under control without...

Well...not always. I gained about 60 pounds each when I breastfed my babies (afetr a relatively low gain pregnancy in each case) and the weight came off after they weaned me. (Just for the record,...

Another factor to take into account-not necessarily for you SB, but in general:

Some of the cheap "house brand" pre-ground coffee can be , er, "extended" with roasted corn. I have a corn...

I agree that vitamins D and C and zinc are a big help overall -- as is eating right and sleeping enough. But I also use black elderberry syrup when I know I'm going to be around a lot of sick people...

Like you, Screamer, my family had big appetites and needed lot of variety. It's not a bad idea to have some "psuedo primal" treats around when you're getting started. You won't lose much weight...

It's been a couple of days, Charlie, how are your sleep plans coming? :) I think that's a challenge for a lot of people.

"But the bit I'm interested in - and think more people should take seriously - is the extent to which our modern day diets are messing with our brains."

How many grams of omega-3 are in each capsule?

You probably want (from what I have read) to get about 2 grams of omega-3 per day.

You can start by asking what oils they cook with and whether they offer grassfed, free-range meats. The likely answers are "soy" and "no".

Fascinating! Thank you, tfarny! I love this stuff!

I came across an article that reports that eating fruits and vegetables makes us "happy".

This could well explain why going primal has such a positive impact on mood for so many of us. The young...
