After over a year of success with it, VLC stopped working for me (only as far as fat loss).

I added back in some carbs (even rice and some oats). I continued to strictly avoid sugar, wheat (and...

Thanks to everyone for the information and opinions!



I get that, what I meant was that I thought mct oil was included, in the same state, in CO (along w other things that can be refined out in...

I appreciate the responses but maybe wasn't clear about the reason for my question.... mct oil has a dramatic impact on energy level and fat burning (for me)... CO does not. I thought they were the...

(1 think) I notice a difference in energy and fat loss between use of CO and MCT Oil in my coffee, The MCT seems much more effective, just not as tasty.

My assumption was that MCT oil was just...

Personally, I agree with those emphasizing time over distance, but my .02, based on VERY limited experience, is that running 4-5 times per week is way too much. I missed any article of Marks where...

@Danielfire - didn't ditch the sprints and never even thought about it. They have really helped with breathing and motion/efficiency, they're quick and easy to add in to a workout and they help me...

Longest runs to date have been just under 18 miles on a really tough and technical trail, felt fine, joints fine, feet fine, and had tons of energy at the end every time. I have not been training w...

I absolutely agree Starch will not directly build muscle, but doesn't starch provide cheap energy that can help you work out longer/harder so that you can build more muscle (with protien and fat). ...

everyone is different and has different objectives... I've decided to embrace the carbohydrate for long runs, despite my otherwise strict primal diet

I ran for a year on a diet of roughly 40%...

descriptive subject line, but real concerns ....

I am running my first 50k in a few weeks and have become border-line obsessed with poop management during, or ideally before, the race.

On...

Hey, the 30BAD folks avoid added sugar, stay away from grains and eat real food, not "food products". That part sounds good. I happen to believe they'd benifit from some protien and a little less...

Gf and I are going to run the grand canyon north rim to south rim. Probably 5/25. Any others in?

Finished a half marathon with no carb-loading and no real specific training - the only slight issue was mile 10 or so when I succumbed to peer pressure and had an energy gel that they were handing...

Sorry for the rather generic title....

I get the distinctions between grass-fed and factory beef (omega3/omega6 ratio,...), but get the feeling primal folks are less concerned about the difference...

I'm not really a runner. Before, the only times I have run 10+ miles was for a ToughMudder and a Trail 20k- before each I carb-binged... really carb-binged.

Thanks for the detail in your posts......

Nitr*tes seem fine ... the keep us from dying of botulism. Read somewhere that the industrial sourced ones were better as the consistency allows very precise addition, as opposed to celery...

I am not a runner and can't speak from experience, but can speak directly to your questions - I am signed up for my first half in November.

I don't plan on any change to my workouts (2-3X...

1st 40 in a few months, just eating 80% primal (but 100% no grains or added sugar).
2nd 40 took much longer. I plateaued a few times and tried IF, but it was only after I realized calories DO...

Thanks for all the feedback - brandymerrit and magnolia1973... you nailed it, I have issues.

I know that I will never be or want to be an endurance runner - I don't have the time, the body type and I certianly don't have the desire. I know from research, observation and personal experience...

I've been fasting - other than coconut oil and butter in morning coffee - from 9PM - 1PM 2-3 days per week and crossfit at noon 3-4 days. It often plays out that I'm working out wo having eaten for...

thanks all for the feedback... suspected it had some scientific basis (perhaps managing insulin for carb-burners?)... looks like opinion is it is complete bs (imagine that!).

just wondering... Does anyone know of any credible research around the conventional mantra that you should have six or more small meals per day to help your metabolism?

I sounds plausable, but I...

I've never tried P90x - I didn't know if I had the discipline of motivation to go it alone at home back when I was a fat couch potato. I've heard and seen that it can make a difference BUT, P90x is...

I wonder the same about any research... dont have the book around toquote but it seems like Robb Wolff dedicated a chapter to the evils of grains then said something like "I don't like the taste of...
