"I track, I count carbs, I started with atkins it didn't work, I don't have thyroid issues, I work out"

Questions:
- When you say Atkins didn't work, why? What happened there?
- Do you like...

I gotta agree with Zach on this.

No one would argue that eating processed junk and fake food is a bad idea, and that there is no need to keep that sort of stuff in the house, and definitely no...

I've been pregnant twice- the first time I ditched my primal diet and ate bagels, bread, pizza, ice cream. You know, because I NEEDED those things. Not that weight gain matters, but I did gain...

Well, we left the country, so yes, ditched the ped too! To his credit, when we saw him last, the rash wasn't too bad and hadn't been there for long. And she had been eating gluten for a few months....

My 18mo old has had eczema on her face for a few months. She does eat gluten. Pediatrician says eczema is almost always unrelated to diet.
I'm beginning to wonder if this is true.

Dose anyone...

DaisyHair- What is your ketogenic diet like? Can you give an example of what you eat?

I totally can relate. I have had the same issues with the slippery slope of carbs. If I have a couple of pieces of fruit, some safe starch I suddenly become non-low carb. Some would say this is...

This sounds so good to me. Although I love nut butters, so would love to incorporate those too- now I try to really limit them as I am afraid i'll over-do. Zach- can you share your thoughts on...

Like, for example avocado rolled in nori wraps with sprouts and tahini... mmmmmm

Interesting!! I ask also b/c while I've always eaten meat and in my adult life really tended toward low starch, the food I really love are nuts, fruits, grains, and sweet potatoes. I know that...

My husband has a co-worker who is way into Primal lifestyle. But she also says she is vegetarian. I think she does eat fish and eggs, but no chicken, beef, lamb, pork....??

I don't know her well...

For me, it's not that I feel bad at 3-4 days. I actually feel good! So I don't think for me it's sugar addiction or carb flu. But like OP said, there is an urge that kicks in (for me it's at about...

This is me almost exactly. I can usually make it past about 5 days- past that hump where I am pretty sure I've burned thru my glycogen stores. I start feeling really good- lots of energy, no water...

I am female, at a healthy weight but would like to lean out a bit. I do body weight workouts and some interval workouts. Recently have dropped carbs/cals some to try to drop fat, but feel a little...

How many days/weeks/months does it take of not a lot of food to affect the metabolism? If I have 10lbs to drop, and I am restricting carbs and calories, when should I consider a cal/carb refeed? ...

Awesome. I totally buy this and (not that I am a wizard like Sisson et al) have spent much of my adult life subscribing to the all or nothing mentality- either low carb or crap. I am finally really...

Zach- what is a more updated/ accurate carb "curb"/mentality?

So I'm starting a journey toward kerosine, or fat adaptation. I've been there before, feel great when I'm there, but never have done much distance running while in ketosis. Normally, I eat a higher...

Ok thanks- very good to know. My BMR came to 1397, and with the excersise formula, since I'm active, I multiplied by 1.5. Which gave me the 2000. I wonder- will eating less than 1400-1600 make weight...

I'd like to join!
Current weight: 135

Daily calorie maintenance:2000

The rest fat!

I'd also like to give the shangri la...

Otzi- I went thru 2lbs by mid afternoon and was starving! Probably would have needed at least another 1.5lbs to keep going. Does the appetite get suppressed after the first day? And if I eat so many...

Starting PPD today- bought 4kg's of potato this morning, thinking I'll make my way thru it over the next 5 days? Does that sound about right?
Any advice, recipes, encouragement- much appreciated!

I've been avoiding all grains.... but it sounds like white rice is acceptable? And even desirable? I'm confused. Isn't it a grain?

10lb's in 6 weeks would be rad. The only other time I ever lost weight was when I cleaned my diet up about 8 years ago and slowly lost about 10-15lbs over the course of a year of so. Or after I...

I need to drop 10lbs ASAP. It's an emergency. Basically, I moved to a new country and have been eating too much (all be it mostly primal). I didn't realize it was happening and then here we are. ...
