Assuming this is a true causal relationship, which needs proving (I haven't read the article), the bacterial culprit(s) could well be adapted to flourish in the environment created by consumption of...

Today brings more fodder for the gut biota/obesity connection:

Microbes Affect Weight Loss:
Microbial changes in the gut contribute to a patient’s ability to slim down after gastric bypass...

I'm very sorry for your loss, Jen...sounds like your Charlie was a wonderful companion. Touches on a point of worry here too, as mine always insist on being let outside and we're 50 yards from a very...

Obtain some organically-grown twigs from a suitable garden shrub or ornamental tree. Section into 1" lengths, dip each in Marmite, and arrange artistically on a plain white plate. Serve with white...

At first raw onions will distract you by making you cry, but their ability to do this is limited. By the next day you've recovered and can focus on how nasty raw onions really are. Blanch, saute,...

Baker's chocolate is ten times worse because it evokes thoughts of pastries and cake, triggering sympathomimetic gluten reactions in the blood stream.

The best nuts are whichever ones you can buy in bulk and still have a decent amount left a few days later.:D Unfortunately most seem to disappear at an alarming rate in my presence. I used to get...

Thread went kinda moribund for a while and I stopped posting, but not walking...final stats fwiw:

I had no doubts whatsoever about cori, but I did want to believe the original makers of this thing were also being tongue-in-cheek. Unfortunately, I grew up in a part of the country where even this...

Thanks, everyone, I really appreciate the compliments! Yes, Ayla, it's from following the PB, more or less...a moderate LC version (50-100 g carb most days) coupled with IF (one big meal in the...

...when you consider giving up fasting for Lent.

OK, wasn't planning on an update just yet, but if it's this quiet, then what the hell. Sorry no shirtless flexing...wish I'd thought to take more full-length shots.

one word: durian!

Looking down most any supermarket aisle at the stuff on the shelves and the people buying it, I'd have to say the main [anthropocentric] "purpose" of grains in the US is padding profit margins on...

Just wanted to add my encouragement. It is very hard to go against long-held beliefs. But consider that you are literally MADE of red meat, that cholesterol is a fundamental building block for all...

Are you fasting and/or maintaining a caloric deficit? Supposedly that can drive up SHBG. Estradiol's on the low side...

Ha, it was the halved can of tuna that really set me off :-D It just sounds like you're trying to do it all at once--carb withdrawal, caloric restriction, and maybe even some low-fat CW creeping back...

You're starving yourself, is what gives. A cup of pumpkin puree? HALF a can of tuna (in WATER no less)? Fat-free yogurt??? Please. Eat some goddamn food already.

It was a combination of all these things.

I knew low-carb worked in practice (a cousin had lost major weight on Atkins, and I'd done it myself with more modest results).

I read the books by...

shouldn't be any concern unless you also worry about salt and vinegar

Hmm. I'm remembering just how much I liked gluten foods and how integrated they were into my life. It took some really stark consequences before I could motivate myself to give it up. I've often...

I bet the coleman insert would be fine for the lowlands. In July 1991 I went to Hawaii to see the total solar eclipse. Luggage (with camp gear) got blackholed by the airline, and there were no...

Since you've been eating primal, I'd vote for trying the potato thing just in the interest of shaking things up. I tried it for 8 days in November, and although it didn't seem to be doing much right...
