Interesting points... now that I've given it more thought, I'm also wondering whether the process of chewing releases hormones that tell the body, "food supply is good! no need to store fat". Thus...

I don't know if this study has been discussed already, but it's really intriguing...

Diet-induced obesity in ad libitum-fed mice: food ... [Br J Nutr. 2013] - PubMed - NCBI

Summary: mice were...

I've been putting roasted pumpkin into my smoothies for months now, but lately I've been craving bananas like nobody's business... this got me thinking about the issue of sugars vs starches. In...

Haha, good memory. It's going great! I have 1 or even 2 cups a day when I feel like it for a whopping total of 20g carbs and miniscule calories. I don't know why I spent so long experimenting with...

Do yourself a favor: take a break from the forums for a few weeks. Someone on here is going to take issue with any food you can possibly name -- "too many carbs", "too much fiber", "too much pufa",...

Sincere question: do people ever gain "weight" (fat) without a caloric excess? Plenty of people on the forum seem to assert they got fat eating low-calorie just because they were eating too many...

Hey there... let me start off by staying, I understand where you're coming from 100%. I'm not only a college student working with limited cooking facilities/money, but I have a major sweet tooth...

So is Mark wrong in his low-carb stance (when he posits that excess carbs tend to get stored as fat)? I, too, feel much better when adding starch and fruit to my diet, and can't wrap my head around...

Interesting... so does this imply that, should you overeat calorie-wise, dietary fat is what gets stored, rather than dietary carbs?

I was never overweight -- I came to primal hoping to overcome my obsessive calorie-counting. Health is important, but personally weight maintenance (not necessarily loss) is my priority at the...

Also, activity is tons of walking, sprinting 1-2 times per week, body weight exercises here and there

In an effort to simplify my budget for the summer, I'm thinking about centering my diet around two of the most nutritious and inexpensive foods available to me -- pasture raised eggs, and bananas. ...

Before primal, I used to lurk on bodybuilding forums to pick up snippets of nutritional info... most of them definitely don't do high-fat. It's all egg whites, canned tuna, oatmeal, and cottage...

Just my two cents: a lot of people see instantaneous dips in the scale when first going primal because reduced carbs yield a release of water weight. Maybe not true in every case, but oftentimes...

I'm with you 100%. I never crave bread or pasta, but cereal? I could eat it for every meal.

Here's what I've been doing as a substitute. It's more like an oatmeal than a cold cereal but it kills...

Coconut is 16 carbs... the serving size on the label is 2 tablespoons, and that has 8 carbs. so 4 tablespoons (i.e. 1/4 of a cup) is 16 carbs.

anyways, thanks for the feedback everyone!

I came across tapioca flour in the store the other day, and was surprised to see that the carb count is actually extremely close to that of coconut flour.

Here are the products I was comparing:...

Looking forward to hearing about your results! that's a pretty impressive weight loss in just two days.

One: nowhere in that example was the woman rejected, so I don't know where you pulled that from.

Two: Yes, it was just an example. Not talking about myself... but some women DO go out and hit on...

Not trying to ruin your thread, I'm genuinely interested in understanding your perspective. So: if I went to a bar last night, and stood around flirting with some attractive individual, and...

Agreed... I've re-read his statement a few times and I don't see any indication that he's talking about sex or gender norms... I'm prettyyyyyyy sure he's just implying that women aren't supposed to...

Sorry, what century are we in? Get over yourself.

I tend to agree with you. A lot of people are drawn to primal eating because they love things like steak, bacon... those are things they restricted on their CW diets and when they hear those things...

How do you guys make them (the shirataki noodles) taste good? I've bought them twice and ended up throwing them out both times because they're so rubbery. Maybe the ones I used were tofu though, I...

I would think the amount of whey or milk sugar in even a cup of cream would be pretty negligible... maybe the same amount of sugar as in a few strawberries (if that). If you check out the...
