Thank you, NZ. I guess I am high alert for failure because I have failed so many times before. Name a diet. Name a fad...and I failed them.

Thanks for your reply. The problem was that after the cake, I went on a bender. I pulled myself out of it. But for 45 minutes, it was OJ on the Freeway for me!

As for intake. I am doing lots...

Regarding what I am viewing as a lack of progress, is it possible I am eating too little?

Looks like I'm averaging about 1900 calories daily.

Eating too little and not losing....is that even...

Cake happens. I think that little slogan just saved me tonight. Thanks so much, guys. My wife saw me derailing and told me to go brush my teeth right away. She was right, totally stopped a building...

Hi all,
Tonight was my son's 15th birthday and I decided to have a hunk of ice cream cake. It is the first bunch of refine sugar I have had in about 3 weeks.
I guess what made this devious mistake...

Absolutely. I love to read. I will be sure to gobble this up...with butter of course.

WOW! I just started to weep! How could you lose so much with with so much food?

Thanks, Ox.

I went to the market last night and I felt like I had x ray vision glasses on. I mean, I saw the foods like I have never seen them before.

I watched "King Corn" a while back and...

I know many of you are past the days of "Eating numbers". However, did you all have to start somewhere? Surely, you had a starting point and have tailor-made your lifestyle around that. To the...

WOW!! That list would make the FDA Food Pyramid collapse. I love just about everything in it. Especially the cheese. AND chocolate? What kind? How? Are all nuts created the same?

Thank you. One thing I have done well is take care of the dogs. I use Orijen Six Fish for the pups now. I eased them into the higher protein by using Taste of the Wilderness Salmon. It is amazing...

I watched Fathead last week. What an a$$hole that Ancel Keyes guy was!

I guess I started to worry about cholesterol and fat number because I finally started to document consumption. Then when you compare those numbers to "blind belief", I worried.

Stop eating...

White Bear,
Another thing that may have hurt Nanuk is that we live in a split ranch. If the poor dog wanted to go anywhere in the house, he was on a flight of stairs...with the extra weight. They...

I saw the Documentary King Corn and stood flabbergasted. I thought those rows of corn were going to picnics for cob eating. Silly me. Eyes wide open, finally

Dogs are awesome. They can't make...

Thanks for all the advice and insight, Finnegan. You guys really know your stuff and explain in a way that anyone can relate to. I totally appreciate you all taking the time to help me out. I'd...

Rich...it is so funny what you say about Grandma and Margarine. My Nanny did every thing in butter. She would fry veal with just peppers and Garlic slices in it. She so rarely used Veggie Oil on...

Hello, Oxide....
I have been reading about Paleo since about October...I started about 3 weeks ago, but am really starting to hit my stride now. Regarding the Carb Flu? I am assuming that is...

You may have nailed it right there, Maggie. I have a 38 year case study to fall back on.

AMERICAN DIET FULL OF CARBS AND LOWER FAT: EPIC FAIL

Thank you, Eagle...the fact that so many of you replied SO fast lets me know I am in a good place. The good thing is that I am Italian and a pre requisite to being a Paesan is having to like fish. ...

Man, I do love some bacon and eggs. Always lived in fear of eating the stuff in front of people. But they had not problems with me eating an 80 gram Carb Multigrain bagel and bowl of brown rice. ...

Hello All,
I am so happy to have found this lifestyle and this wealth of knowledge that MDA provides. The most difficult time I am having is NOT believing that Saturated Fat is Bad...Cholesterol is...
