I'm finding this thread immensely helpful, I have a hard time coming up with ideas.

Raptoryell, do you do any carb loading after training? I train jiu jitsu as well (tried muay thai...stopped...

I also suggest reading the book; Mark goes into why eating small, frequent meals is harder on your body because of the constant effort of digestion (also why you often lose your appetite when you're...

Just wanted to update - after reading this thread I'm having the tin of sardines I had in my pantry for breakfast, with some organic garlic tomato sauce. I add it to the spring water they're in and...

The sardines I get don't have heads or tails, so that makes it a little easier to look at...I like to have them with marinara (got the idea from one tin where they were already IN marinara) and heat...

Yes, easy solution - no coconut oil, no coconut flour. If you were using coconut flour to make Primal substitutes, and you're just starting out, my suggestion is to avoid trying to create substitutes...

Agreed. I actually looked at your link but was at work so didn't read it all the way through. If it concludes that bjj is boss then it sounds pretty solid!

Maybe you should just train some Brazilian jiu jitsu! If you don't already, anyway. My grips are not bad and I've seen a sizable increase in my forearms since I started training almost two years ago...

Yeah, Alaska is terrible for that stuff. Only just recently was my mom able to find uncured bacon at the grocery store. One time at the Saturday Market she wanted to buy a pastured chicken and it was...

!! I was raised in Eagle River! Born in Fairbanks, lived in ER for 15 years! The internet is such a small world! Hey, do you have a good, convenient source for pastured meats? I've researched from...

Aspartame concerns aside, carbonated beverage consumption has been linked to a greater incidence of broken bones and osteoporosis...and of course, diet soda tastes like ass.

Sometimes if I eat a lot of greens and not much else, it'll go through me pretty fast. I'm talking about cooked greens, I almost never eat raw greens. And I never eat raw spinach. Last week I had...

Yes, as the others said - if you're not hungry, don't eat! I just went through a similar period of really minimal appetite. Your body is telling you what it needs - listen to it! Nice work and...

Welcome!! Good on you for trying something such a departure from conventional diets! Keep kicking ass and enjoy all the ways you start feeling better. Incidentally, I make collard greens with ham...

I wouldn't worry too much about it unless it continues and you start feeling crappy. Sometimes, my appetite will just arbitrarily disappear. I haven't figured out what causes it, but my appetite has...

I don't have much to add, except:

1) a guy I train with was a raw vegan when I first met him. he was constantly exhausted and looked drawn and pale ALL the time, and this is a guy who was in...

Good lord, chill out. I wasn't waging a smear campaign; I don't even have strong feelings about caffeine one way or the other - except that, when I temporarily cut it out, I get the worst headaches...

Caffeine is a vasoconstrictor, so caffeine withdrawal headaches are actually caused by the blood vessels dilating back to normal. I also couldn't bear the headaches; were I to try to kick caffeine, I...

Diet looks good to me. To add to Damiana's suggestion - I like sunbutter, from sunflower seeds, although I have yet to find any without added sugar (although I haven't been looking that hard).

Yeah, definitely check your inches. Are you eating enough calories? What's your typical daily diet like?

Ideally, your meat would come from pastured sources, and your bacon would be uncured. Fat is nothing to worry about, although I personally wouldn't go around chowing down on steak fat from...

I don't know about in the UK, but a few of the major theatre chains in the US now pop their popcorn in coconut oil. I personally don't like it, I like it popped in canola oil...even having seen the...

You don't need to eat to be present at a meal...in fact, you'd be setting an excellent example if you sat down at the dinner table and said, when someone asked why you weren't eating, that you just...

I think chia seeds have a good amount of phytates in them...and IIRC their benefits aren't actually all that readily bioavailable. Not 100% sure though.

Do you have endometriosis? I found this thread on this forum, and it seems like lots of the women who posted in there have endometriosis. I don't know if I do; to my knowledge, I don't. Fitting that...

Happens to me too. I'm guessing when your body is under stress like that, it doesn't want the added stress of trying to digest food and so stays the appetite for a while. It'll usually take a couple...
