Hmmm...might have to check that out Duckmama! Do you have any specific recommendations for videos that don't require standing/using your foot?

Sorry to hear about your problems...I can only...

Thanks so much for the advice guys! Really appreciate it! :)

Well, just got back from the Dr., and it's going to be surgery, with 4-8 weeks recovery period. Maybe once the incision heals, I'll be able to jump in the pool or something and just swim with my...

Hi--So, broke my foot yesterday...I'm a runner, and really don't want to lose my fitness. I'm also trying to lose weight, and have been eating the PB way for about 2 months now...

I guess I'm...

So, I've been reading more and more about the beneficial effects of coconut oil, speeding up metabolism, boosting weight loss, etc. I'm thinking I'll do the LeanGains IF approach, and then break the...

@Karma--Sorry, didn't mention...I do supplement w/2g of fish oil per day.

@Piano-Doctor-Lady--I do see your point, that I would/am definitely making a compromise. But, I'm trying to limit the...

@Lizzychan5--I'll definitely let you know which of these suggested elements end up working for me, cause it's so frustrating!

@Shijin13--Thanks so much! I'm also thinking of switching training plans from high mileage to CrossFit Endurance (just have to wait until that program gets to my town...I live in a smallish city). ...

@Shijin13--Thanks so much for the ideas! I think I will definitely try this approach!

One question for you--Couldn't tell from your post whether you competed while on PB, or only before. If you...

@Primalknitter--Thanks! I think the carbs I add back I'll try to add as mostly vegetables and starchy veggies...leave fruit out, for awhile, and see how that goes! I'm confident with the...

Thanks Nutmeg and Max219--I'll definitely try adding in some more carbs, and see how that goes! :)

Neither is basketball or many of the other sports people 'play' with...running is MY 'play', it's the movement I have FUN with...

@Beachrat, yeah, thanks...if I'd wanted Weight Watchers, I wouldn't have bothered buying/reading the PB book, spending tons of time on the forums educating myself, etc.! I have made many changes,...

OK, so, I agree that I'm exercising more than most PB'ers...the reason being I have LOTS of races coming up...4 through April 9th. I've stopped the long runs (longest in two months has been only 9...

@Lizch--Sorry, forgot to mention, I'm an endurance athlete (I know chronic cardio is part of the 20%, but I think I should still be able to set things up so I can lose weight and maintain my chosen...

@John--I know this is a 'lifestyle', not just a diet, but I SHOULD be losing weight when I have fat to lose, if I'm both counting calories AND counting carbs (which is why I'm so frustrated). I make...

So, this is my third (and maybe final?) stint at trying the PB for weight loss. I'm 5'9", ~163, and am trying to lose at least 20 pounds, would love to get down to 125 (the bottom of my BMI, but not...

Hi--I'm trying to lose weight on PB (lost a little so far, but not much). All the posts on IF have convinced me that might be the next technique I add to the repertoire...but I'm a bit confused as...

I think it would depend upon 1. How insulin sensitive you are, and 2. How recently you worked out (which is somewhat related to the first point). If you are insulin-sensitive and have recently...

I'm a marine mammal physiology PhD student, so I might be able to add a few interesting tidbits to this discussion.

Most of the animals that make use of the mammalian diving reflex are, surprise,...

Hi--I'm a long distance runner, still working on getting fat-adapted. I have a few important races coming up, and I'm wondering what the best choice for a gel/gu would be...I'm training without...

@mstrudle--

Thanks for the ideas! But I still have a few questions. ;)

When I referred to 'maximize running performance', I really meant specifically preventing bonking, which I essentially...

Beeface--

Couldn't tell from your post whether you've ever been in this position, but...any idea how to maximize BOTH running potential AND weight loss? It seems they are at odds with each...

Another grad (got my MSc in Marine Biology), now a PhD student in Biology, studying marine mammal physiology/metabolic parameters.

I know this won't be considered 'primal', but as a 'compromise' to get through tough endurance/intense running, I was thinking of drinking a sports drink (containing only glucose) or using dextrose...
