So...how'd it turn out? Old thread, I know. But I'm nervously eyeing a bowl of steam-pasteurized "raw" almonds that I'm about to soak overnight before dehydrating. Just wondering how it worked out...

I've found bug bites to be noticeably worse and greater in number now compared with pre-primal days. I don't believe diet is a factor. Rather, I think it's a direct result of spending more time...

i don't know if you were just describing what you like to do, or describing what you like to do which is not considered feminine, but AFAIK in the US the parts i bolded are considered...

Thanks for the recommendations. I actually think my lack of flexibility is what's holding me back the most right now. In the past I worked on downward dog a bit, but I think I need a more...

Wow, that's awesome! She makes it look so easy. It makes me think that there is quite a bit of overlap between what I want to do and yoga. And overlap between yoga and gymnastics. Thanks!

Minor necrobump of my own thread here...

Last spring I was working on handstands a bit until I started getting some pretty serious hamstring pain that started affecting my main workout at the time...

Just a followup to the previous response and some further information about TSH values fluctuating:

He mentioned he's been using only non-iodized salt. He also apparently eats no other processed food that would likely include oodles of iodized salt. The amount of iodine in meats and eggs is...

Because you didn't read the whole thread, you don't realize just how right you are. :cool:

Fish oil raises a big red flag. For some people it seems to result in pretty wacky cholesterol readings, potentially for a number of different reasons. When did you start the fish oil supplements?

I added rice back into my diet after I was eating primally for a while in the 75-100g/day carb range. I found I was losing weight despite stuffing myself with good primal-friendly foods, and that's...

Or maybe people hate on Brady because he's young, good looking, successful, and legitimately has talent (and a supermodel wife).



Hey, this is a primal forum -- can't we hate him for the white...

Not an argument, just an observation:

Disease-carrying kids trumped primal eating/lifestyle at my house. Bully for you if the opposite was true in your case.

My n=1 can beat up your n=1!! :cool:

Seriously though, your immune system obviously gets a pretty good workout by your own admission. Add to that some immunity boosting lifestyle changes, and...

Do any of you healthy, non-getting-colds folk have kids in school? I never really got sick much -- primal or otherwise -- until my youngest started going to preschool.

CW says if you put a lot of...

I'm glad you're all avoiding viruses (or recovering quickly).

Me, not so much. I've had colds more frequently than not since November -- at least 3 of them. Last week everyone in my house got a...

Interesting...thanks for that info. Just when I think I've got it all figured out, I learn another nugget that forces me to re-evaluate what I thought I knew. :)

Just got my updated thyroid results. Here's the progression from 13 months ago -> 11 months ago -> now:

TSH: 7.7 -> 5.4 -> 3.1
FT4: 1.16 -> 1.09 -> 1.06

The lab's reference range for TSH is...

My old (9 mos primal) -> new (22 mos primal) numbers are:

Total: 219 -> 143 (down 35%)
LDL: 119->77 (down 35%)
HDL: 84->57 (down 32%)
Trig: 27->51 (up 89%)

I really don't know what to think...

If you don't have the time, patience, or equipment to bbq, you can easily make brisket tasty and tender in a crock pot, dutch oven, or other covered vessel in the oven.

Here's how I made it...

Fortunately for you, your parents had a different point of view on the matter. :D

I tend to buy directly from farmers either at the farm or a farmer's market. 9 times out of 10 the meat is already vacuum sealed and frozen. I've always just let the meat thaw in the fridge, in a...

I think you're describing the feeling a man will get sometimes while urinating. Inexplicably, I always got that feeling every time I went swimming as a kid. Never could figure that out. It made it...

Mine was in the vicinity of the belly button too -- sometimes higher, sometimes lower.
