As a woman who's been married nearly 30 years ... NO, I don't see how "fucked up" that thought it.

I've also never had to lose 100+ pounds ... maybe "fucked up" females stay thinner???

I don't think cereal is particularly primal ... but neither do I think Grok was walking around sipping Merlot and nibbling on a 70% dark chocolate bar ...

My opinion: choose a cereal with...

Hunger between meals is normal and natural. Drink a glass of water (or two) if that happens and then move on. I'm not sure when it became the norm to think that we should never be hungry; when I was...

Stop eating huge amounts. I know it sounds simple, but overeating even good healthy food can cause weight gain.

Your diet doesn't sound too terrible. Try, for breakfast, either the eggs and melon,...

You can train yourself to like vegetables, it just takes time and exposure. I read a book recently that said that young children have to be introduced to a vegetable about 20 times before they start...

As previously mentioned, weight loss is weird. Several years ago I lost 14 pounds, and not even the waistbands on my clothing were loose. I now weighed several pounds less than I had before I gained...

Absolutely.

We eat grains in our household, primarily pasta once or twice a week. But I cook from scratch and we eat very little sugar. Our diet, in fact, very much resembles the way Europeans eat...

Our Whole Foods (Louisville, KY) sells both types: 100% grass-fed and grass-fed/grain-finished. The 100% grass-fed tends to sell out quicker. I think they're both locally sourced (meaning they're...

Drink an entire bottle of your favorite wine! It will satisfy your sweet tooth and you won't be sad about all the foods you can't eat!! ;)

I removed gluten products from my diet for several months, then added them back in with no problem. I used to live in Italy, and missed my pasta. :D

The thing is, though, I was already eating a...

What about pudding? Good quality ice cream or sherbet? A Godiva chocolate truffle?

I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but occasionally I'll split a Reese's peanut butter cup package with my...

That's my personal opinion, too. There's a big difference between the pizzas I ate when I lived in Italy and my local chain pizza parlor. The Italian one was made with real ingredients, and the other...

Well, that's good to know! It's something I've been thinking about. Currently I can only tolerate chicken livers, made into pate.

Quinoa is considered a complete protein, also very high in manganese. I think it's considered a "pseudo-grain" as it's not really a grain but more a seed, related to spinach and Swiss chard.

I...

I've read that mixing small amounts of liver/heart with ground beef masks the taste somewhat and ups the nutrition level.

We use Ezekiel 4:9 bread, tortillas and English muffins, made from sprouted grains. They're generally found in the freezer section at the supermarket, as they have no preservatives. The...

Atkins doesn't recommend that you stay super low carb once you're past the Induction Phase. There is the carb ladder, where you gradually add in foods until you reach what he terms your "critical...

Sugar, primarily in commercially prepared desserts or mixed drinks, yes. Wheat, no. The sugar I use in the occasional dessert at home doesn't cause any problems, probably because it's not much and...

If your family has been eating a lot of processed foods, you may find it easier to first switch to a "whole foods" approach to cooking, and then easing gradually into primal. As an example, if you've...

Our favorite is the Whole Foods 365 Applewood Smoked Uncured Bacon. We don't live very near a Whole Foods, so we always buy extra to have in the freezer.

I don't like sweet potatoes, either. I've tried them every way you can cook them, and they still get a big thumbs down from me. However, not long ago I found this recipe and could eat sweet potatoes...

It's also a possibility that you're binging because you've turned those items into a "forbidden" food. There's no reason bananas and ice cream can't be part of a healthy diet. Even Mark says that he...

My husband is almost 50, and these are his most recent numbers:

Total: 215
HDL: 58
TRI: 76
LDL: 148
TRI/HDL ratio: 1.3 (<2 considered ideal)

I don't have a "pre-Primal" start number, as...

I don't see any evidence of trying to convince anyone to eat grains, just discussion that there is no evidence that grains are as bad for everyone as PB and Wheat Belly try to say.

I used to...

I've read Wheat Belly but not Cordain's book. There's some good info in it, but it is definitely written from a particular perspective, and it's hard to believe that all the good benefits he saw in...
