Believe me, I know ALL about the Protein Style! =) It's hard to walk in there and NOT eat fries or get a shake, though. I just try to avoid the place altogether. But... I dunno... maybe I should pay...

Of course the goal is to eat WELL, not just a lot. But at the moment, eating fully Primal won't help me regain the weight I've lost, either in body fat or in muscle. I'm less concerned with the scale...

I'm actually not eating eggs right now, but I'll be bringing them back gradually (I haven't had a real egg in months). I'm also working on adding more fat, especially coconut oil, but again, it's...

You make a valid point, but I don't *just* want to gain body fat; I'd like to get some of my muscle mass back as well. I figure I've lost roughly 25% of my muscle, maybe more, and I want to get some...

I've been considering protein shakes, but I'm having a hard time finding one that doesn't have a lot of crap in it, especially soy lecithin (I think I may be sensitive to soy now). The ones I was...

If I wasn't so adamant about not eating gluten (last time I went on a bread bender, I ended up in the ER a couple days later), I'd be heading to the nearest In-n-Out for lunch today! Hahaha... I have...

So I've made a decision: I skimmed through "The Perfect Health Diet" at the bookstore yesterday, and spent many, many hours last night and today studying up, flipping through forums, and doing a...

Ok, even as a woman, I'm LOVING the flag-flying innuendos... Thanks for the lolz, fellas =)

Back on topic: I skimmed through PHD at the bookstore yesterday, and spent many, many hours last night...

Okay. Spent the last 3 hours before bed last night and 5 hours this morning reading through this thread. I also spent 2 hours at the bookstore yesterday skimming through the book and writing down the...

I already do. Everything I eat is either cooked in butter or coconut oil, mixed with butter (like sweet potatoes), doused in olive oil (like salads), or has lots of fat in it already (like bacon)....

I have naturally high iron levels. While pregnant with my daughter, I had a blood clot in my uterus caused by excessive iron (they throw iron pills at every pregnant woman in America without testing...

I've been checked for it; my D levels are normal. I supplement and get sun, so I know I'm not deficient, unless some chemical process in my body is keeping me from absorbing it properly...

Sweet potatoes have been my staple all through this thing. Lots of butter and cinnamon for me too, and some maple syrup to up the sugar content. I've avoided carrots because they seem to cause me...

This is another reason why I wanted to have my hormone levels checked. A friend of mine, who's in vet medicine school right now (granted, it's animals, not people, but she's up to her ears in medical...

You are SO right: I HAVE tried just about everything as far as diet & lifestyle, and a slew of medical tests that have told me nothing. And yes, it is INCREDIBLY stressful. But it's hard to...

Funny you should say that, because I have 3 pints of Haagen-Dazs in my freezer right now! yum... =)

I use a combo of cast iron, stainless steel, and non-stick (I live w/ my mom, so I have to use whatever's in her kitchen). I cook with butter, coconut oil, bacon fat when I have it, and olive oil...

Timthetaco: I don't think I was tested for toxoplasmosis, but I don't have many of the listed symptoms: Toxoplasmosis: Symptoms - MayoClinic.com
It's not impossible, just not very likely, but I'll...

I know EXACTLY what you're going through. I started a thread on this same subject: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread77462.html
Give it a read; it might kick-start some inspiration. Good...

More good news: got my biopsy results. They came back negative for everything. That means I don't have cancer. That's a good thing =) but... it also means I still have no answers. I'm starting to...

Good news! My regular doc got me blood tests with both more thorough thyroid panels AND a hormonal balance check! =) I also just had my first bowl of ice cream as the first step on my...

I've been checked for parasites (the stool test). Just like all the others: negative. I truly am convinced it's a functional thing, or possibly hormonal, since there doesn't seem to be any visual,...

Don't think I haven't considered it. This whole ordeal has taken my head to some very dark places... but I have kids. I need to live. But right now, I'm not really even doing that. I'm barely even...

I’ve actually developed a distaste for straight milk; never really was a milk drinker anyway, unless it was on cereal, but I don’t seem to have problems with dairy. It’s hard to tell though. I kept a...

Hey y'all,

I'll make this as brief as I can, but it may get long, so I apologize in advance...

I've been battling some severe digestive issues on & off for about 7 years, but this past...
