I've got a copy of Ketogenic diets and physical performance by Stephen D Phinney as a PDF if you want it. Good stuff.

Yes, would love a PDF copy... is email best way to send? PM me, if you have...

I am interested to learn more about running longer distances while VLC and using fat as fuel. Anyone have a guide they can suggest? Or any experience to share?

[QUOTE=Timthetaco;1180512] Ever heard of Matt Stone, Anthony Colpo, or Evelyn Kocur? Three people who have extensive experience helping sick and eating disordered low carb dieters live healthy...

Zach-
"The leaner you are the higher your carbs will need to be.[/QUOTE]

Why is this? It seems like if you have just a few lb's of fat to drop, decrease carbs would lead one to use that as...

More impetus to lean out :)

Been LC just a couple of weeks. So, I'm guessing probably not totally adapted yet? Just not sure if I should keep truckin' or do some cycling. The cycling appeals to me b/c I miss the variety, and...

Serenity- did you carb-up for a whole day once a week? And did you find it was helpful for leaning you out (if that was your goal?)

Ideally, when I'm not eating VLC, I try to get in 1-2 day of HIIT or sprints, one day of a longer slower jog (60min or so- my heart rate stays low b/c I'm somewhat fit) and 2 days of lifting. I try...

Best way to do it? Should I have one carb-only day a week? Or two dinners a week as mostly carb? Seems to be a lot of different ways to cycle...??

Thanks for the link- good read for sure. I've only been VLC for a couple of weeks. Maybe I'll adjust more.

I seem to have a difficult time losing weight if I incorporate fruit and starch. I...

I've been eating VLC in an effort to lean out. It seems to be working.
However, I've been feeling crummy during workouts. Today I "tried" to do my normal sprinting routine and totally struggled...

Ok, so how many reps would be optimal? I am strong enough to progress toward heavier weights, but not sure how heavy to go. Heavy enough for failure at 5 reps?

I have been lifting for several months and am reasonably strong. I started with P90x a year ago, and since have continued on my own- 2-3 days/week. I do about 10-12 reps depending on the exercises...

Between 70-90g most days

No, no sugar addictions or dependency that I am aware of.
Why don't women often tolerate VLC? And how does that manifest? Are my aversions to meat common? Or is it more difficult loosing? Or...

I'm definitely not eating too little fat. I'm at like 70%fat every day, at somewhere around 1600 cal. And it's good fat.

Whoever said fruit was bad for you should be horsewhipped.
That would be my mother. LOL.

All good stuff, thanks for responses, I'm glad I posted this. I think I need to get over my fear of...

Good questions. My goals are to drop probably 10lbs of fat. I have eaten a lower carb diet, probably under 150g/day for years, outside of being pregnant. I've spent up to a couple of months at a...

I am wondering if anyone feels this way, and why perhaps it can be difficult to maintain a low carb, high animal protein diet.
When I eat low carb, (little/no fruit, dairy, nuts, just veg and meat...

I've been thinking about giving this a go too! Do you have this as breakfast, or along with it? And does it matter what coffee you are drinking? (ie: does it need to be organic/pure/perfect etc?)

OK, I'm confused. Does eating a low carb diet create insulin resistance? I'm not diabetic, but I do have lots of it in my family and am discovering that I feel much much better with lower carbs. ...

[QUOTE=Ljphalen;1138156]I eat below 10 grams of carbohydrate almost every day because it keeps my depression and anxiety completely in check, and also seems to quell any obsessive food behaviours...

For those of you who eat very low carb- i.e.: no fruit, starch, limited nuts..... how did you determine this was the path for you? I realize everyone is different and needs to eat in a way that...

Ok, so far so good. Despite big family gathering yesterday, kept it to cauliflower soup (made w/ a bit of heavy cream) and dinner of pork roast w/ salad. Some good cheese and wine to start. So not...

I know that running other than super slow or sprints, isn't really primal.

But I want to do it! I like it, it's a huge stress release for me, and the only time I really have to do something for...
