I just went over the GAPS diet recommended foods and realized I am much more careful than even their recommendations... For example, I am very careful with the nightshades, even though they are in...

So I have been playing with gut flora for a while now, with some good early signs of success. I went primal two years ago (I am about 99/01 in terms of strictness). I lost 10 kg fast and then...

Fair 'nuff. Good luck!

It has squats and deadlifts, bench, presses and rows. That is all strength. Yes, there are isolation exercises, and yes they provide hypertrophy. But you know what? Even isolation exercises help you...

Ok, my advice for a 3 day split. Everything (except bodyweight exercises) should be reverse pyramid, 5, 8, 12, 15 (for example)

Day 1: Chest and Back
Pullups (however many sets to get to 20. If...

This. Those are some scary symptoms. I'd see a doctor about them and schedule an MRI...

I'm trying to imagine sprinting up stairs to exhaustion multiple times. The vision I get is pain. Pain for when you face plant into the edge of a star and smash your teeth, shattering your jaw and...

Mmmmmm. Cannibalism for the win. I wonder how many recipes you can find on a search engine (google is evil) for human placenta.

At the same time, I know that cow placenta is considered a delicacy...

Agree 100%. If you want to be lean and slim, you don't need that much protein. If you want decent muscle mass, then you absolutely need a fair amount of protein. The body self regulates muscle mass...

Ok, so I just have to share this for the Primal folks in the US. A buddy of mine from South Africa told me of a fellow ex-pat who makes and sells biltong (South African beef jerky) and I tried it....

I lift weights Monday through Friday. Each session is about 45 minutes, except for Thursdays which are shoulder days. On Thursdays it takes me a little over an hour, because I spend a good half hour...

Okay, I have to admit that this struck me as ironic as heck :) Not that I disagree with you, but it is kinda funny...

Bacon on the green beans would be perfect! I steam green beans, add almond slices sauted in Olive oil with a bit of garlic (so the almond is just barely golden, and the garlic is added haflway...

Thank you, that was a great post! If you could get the exact title of the gardening for people like me book, that would be terrific!

I think you need to ease up on the coffee, pal. Someone who sticks with more traditional exercises because they work, and gets results, isn't closed minded for not wanting to try to fix something...

Actually, I tend to agree with Joanie. Not in the NRA's "an armed society is a polite society" schtick, but that badguys are going to have guns no matter what, why keep good guys from having them...

Where do the minerals et al come from? I mean, if I am using coffee grounds, the majority of minerals has likely been depleted from them from the steeping process. Minerals don't (as far as I'm...

What is better, apples, or oranges? Tomatoes or squash? :)

Whatever you like doing is fine. Do what you love the most, mix it up, have some fun. Walking is a bit lower intensity (which could be...

I agree. I recently stopped drinking Monday through Thursday as an experiment (about 3 months ago). I've noticed that going to bed after a couple of glasses of wine seems to have absolutely no impact...

So my wife and I are starting a vegetable garden this spring. Starting small, with the basics (like tomatoes, squash, bell peppers, carrots, etc). One thing I am curious about is fortifying the soil...

Dr. Bernstein talks about this in his "Diabetes Solution" book. I'm a type 1 diabetic, and I take a wee bit of humalog (quick acting insulin) prior to working out to keep my blood sugars stable. In...

There is a huge difference between HIT and slow training. I tried the super slow training for three months, recorded everything, and it just didn't work for me. Doesn't mean it doesn't work, but......

I like listening to music when lifting weights. I find that if I get "pumped" from the music it really lets me push harder. Also, if I'm a bit less than motivated, I can use music to get me in the...

I don't know if any of us are equipped to answer these questions. I would trust your doctors as your issues are pretty severe and bad advice could cause some nasty consequences.

Good luck getting...

As a father of three, I'll reiterate what some have said. Meat and veg. Try red meats, especially lamb. Our doctor recommends lamb as the first meat as it is easiest to digest. If it causes more...
