I buy my coconut oil from here: Buy Coconut Oil - Organic Virgin Coconut Oil in UK - Coconoil - the more you buy, the cheaper it gets.

The organic virgin coconut oil is fantastic. It's produced...

Fish gets nastily fishy tasting when it isn't fresh. I'd never buy fish from a supermarket only a fishmonger - at my fishmonger's I know that the fish they sell is caught the day before. I've bought...

I've lost the same amount - 13lbs - but over a much longer time period. I've managed to lose 5cm from the top of my thighs and 4cm from my hips. I do tend to store fat more on my stomach than my...

Spubba, just want to say that I really enjoy your journal so waving to you all the way from London. You mentioned the lack of sidewalks before and I think of you when I go walking along the Thames in...

Just wondering if you are taking or thought of taking any Omega 3 supplements (or eating oily fish three times a week). This can help with joint pain. Any taking Vitamin D3 supplements in these dark...

I would love some links to this - would be a big help.

You need to buy plain, unflavoured Greek Yoghurt. Those flavoured ones have extra added sugar. And the proper, strained, Greek Yoghurt has the least amount of carbs. I eat Total full-fat Greek...

I'd read these: Mixed Martial Arts Fighter Goes Primal | Mark's Daily Apple, http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread39439.html

I see the whole calories vs. carbs debate as essentially a debate between physics and biology. Calories in/out is correct because the laws of thermodynamics must be obeyed, a physicist will say. It's...

When you add the water to the bones, you should put on a high heat and bring to the boil. As it comes to the boil, a scum will apear which you should scoop off. Lower the heat to keep it boiling and...

Glad to hear that you're feeling better and you figured out your cause of dizziness.

And I found Mark's recent post on salt really interesting: Dear Mark: Salt and Blood Pressure | Mark's Daily Apple
Particularly the stuff at the end about the importance of potassium and how...

You might have to take slightly more drastic measures that just a high sodium meal - if you feel that odd trying dissolving a whole teaspoon of salt in hot water and drinking it. I felt VERY weird...

I struggled with dizziness too at the beginning - very similar to how you describe it. Think it might be a lack of electrolytes.
I got some helpful tips:...

You need to use light olive oil - extra virgin makes bitter mayonnaise. I follow Julia Child's instructions. I always use a hand-held electric whisk. Put two egg yolks into a bowl. Whisk at high...

Whenever I visit the US, I'm always blown away by the portion size and that portion size increases the further out from the towns that you get. Years ago, my family had an incredibly cheap holiday in...

When you reduce your carbs, you lose a lot of fluids - water is bound up the glycogen in your body. And with those fluids you lose a lot of sodium/potassium. It does balance out over time but I still...

Monty Python's Spamalot is funnier...

Other than adding in white rice, did you do anything to try and sort out your electrolyte balance? Because that was a BIG problem for me - I felt really odd at times - not only suffering from...

I was in Westfield this weekend (the one in Shepherd's Bush) and there's a Vibram shop there. And I think Cotswold Outdoors stock them too, although you might want to double check with the shop: Our...

I was in France this summer and spent a bit of time pondering this. I think it's the raw cheese, red wine, pate, foie gras, stock reductions and cream sauces! Also the French hardly eat anything for...

I find this too. I've manage to reduce lunch to a snack at about 3pm. And my snack of choice is unpatuerised French brie with an apple. Some days I have a small prawn and cucumber salad. I've noticed...

I have low blood pressure and had the same thing as you starting out - tendency to almost faint if I stood up too quickly. I too, worried about adrenal faitgue but came to the same conclusion as...

It warms the cockles of my British heart to see an American recommend this (and not the first time on this site). I have this book too and it is brillant - and so Primal friendly - a whole chapter on...

If I ate that litte protein, I'd be snacking too. Two large eggs is only around 16g of protein - I try to eat at least double that at breakfast. You say you eat veggie chicken soup - is there any...
