Do You Think You Can Get Fat Eating Primally? page 17

Dear god, paleobird, are you daring to suggest we could be sensible? How reasonable of you!

Gotta love the Carb Wars.

you're so not helpful, bad advice would be better than your routine at this point. who the hell knows what you're referring to in the videos you post? god forbid you actually say. the funniest lately was when someone was reaching out to find out if there were other primal types in mississippi - you know, reaching out for a human connection - and you posted a youtube video without comment.

Well I actually found him helpful. Besides he was the only one who replied my post. A response albeit not that expansive in details is better than no response.

I am so glad to see this board coming around to some sanity about portion control. And some reality about fat consumption. When I was asking the too often heard, "Why isn't Primal working for me?" question, the two answers I got the most were, "Eat more fat!" and "Eat more food". Yeahright.

Hmm... both of those seem to be working for me.

Either that or have the photo of yourself standing next to one of your Ron rosedale posters so we assure it's the real js290.

This is the personal preference part but for me it is actually easier to overeat on primal foods because they are my favorites. I really don't like ice cream and brownies. No appeal. (OK so maybe I'm weird.) Same goes for potatoes. But I can go through 6 eggs for breakfast and a 20 oz ribeye for dinner no problem. I am not one of those girls that shy away delicately from meat. The problem is that for me the calories in that day would be too much.

Clearly this is the case because you've never had my chocolate walnut brownie ice cream Hey, they were gluten free so it was healthy, right?

[Owly]

Heh. I was living proof that you can definitely still get fatter eating gluten free.

Do you think the volume of food affects the feeling of fullness? Do you eat a big ass salad and feel as full for as long as if you ate a big ass bowl of oats or a big ass pile of bacon and eggs or a big ass steak?

I would say probably as full but not for as long, a big ass salad will keep me full for a couple of hours, a full steak will keep me full for lots of hours. The hardest thing has been finding the right combinations that will keep me full for a long time and not have me chomping at the bit 3 hours later. AND that has nothing to do with calories......my morning smoothie, coconut fat, coconut milk, kefir, protein powder and fresh berries at 8 will keep me full until 11 (most days) now if I eat a tin of salmon with mayonnaise for breakfast I will be full until about 1.

Milkshake = 1000 calories (approx)
Salmon = 500 calories (approx)

Weird eh? So I make the best choices from both perspectives, how long will I stay full so I don't over eat and how many calories will that be?

(I only did the calorie thing for 2 weeks after I realised I wasn't magically loosing weight, and I turns out I was eating about 2500 a day) now I guess if I reduced the calories I would loose weight, but I'm not that bothered.

I guess this means I agree with PB
