Warrior Diet - Ori Hofmekler

If we eat high carb and fat, our bodies will burn the carbs first, and the fat will go directly to storage.
Carbs are always used first.

If a high fruit/nut diet seems to work for you, then go with it.
It may not work for you forever, and you may have to make adjustments down the road, but you may as well ride it out and see where it...

Low carb may make it easier for many to stay within their calorie limit because protein and fat are more satiating than carbs, but there's still a limit.

Every time I see a picture of Matt Stone, he looks fatter.

If you're carb-depleted, and you work out with intensity, your body will use protein for fuel.
Fat is used for fuel during low intensity exercise/activities.
Carbs will spare protein when working...

Sounds to me like your metabolism has taken a hit from months of low carb eating, and not enough calories to support your activity.
If I were you, I would up my carb intake, and calories in general,...

You don't need to do leangains.
Consume most of your carbs around your workouts, especially afterwards, and limit them at other meals.

Good point.

Dogs will eat scraps straight out of a garbage can.
Many will eat their own crap too.

I weighed myself a few times a week while I was trying to lose weight.

Don't take my word for it.

Eventually, you'll come around. (if you want to feel better).

The omega 6 in the walnuts is probably something that you should be more concerned with.

Well said.

The downside is that you're not always going to have an obese person handy whenever you are on a collision course with a doughnut.

I guess cavemen didn't really worry about eating the right foods.
Simply eating was the goal.
If they found pepperoni pizza growing on trees, you can bet they wouldn't have been concerned with...

Maybe "discovery" would be a beter way to put it.

I wonder what cavemen ate before the invention of fire?
Raw meat?
Fruits, tubers, and nuts were most likely the original primal foods because they were easier to get.
I seriously doubt that many...

Good read, and I'm sure that we can benefit from nutritional stress.
Personally, I think that nutritional stress should be occasional, rather than constant. (weekly or twice a week, for example)....

Agree 100%.
Well put.
Works for me too.

Add in some carbs to your diet, at least 150g, and have some dark chocolate a few times a week.
Low carb may be good for some, but it's a disaster for many.
Starts out good, with good weight loss....

Small, frequent meals never worked for me. I would feel hungry constantly, sluggish, and foggy as well.
I do better with big meals, once or twice a day. My energy is better with this setup, and I...
