Re: Project Shehulkish

Thanks, Rich. It's nice to talk to people who go through the same stuff. I don't count calories or care about calories, and I don't time meals very strictly. The thing I care about is the quality of the food I'm eating, which for me means no grains and no sugar (and by elimination, no processed food...

Fat mimetics are simply that. Designed to mimic fat. Mimic the taste, feel and the way in which the body responds to them, as if they were actual fat themselves, but I believe they are designed to have less or even none, of the arterial and subcutaneous side effects, associated with animal and chem...

Re: A light Dessert After Dinner Every Night? Bad?

There are healthier ways to have something sweet, and I think switching to natural, unprocessed foods would help wean you off the sugary stuff. Here are some suggestions, based on the preferences you listed: - A small portion of fruit with real cream instead of whipped cream and sprinkles (fruit sug...

Re: How did you find the determination to get started?

I know it's insane but I saw the movie 300 and just decided, "That's it!" I just felt like I needed to become who I felt I was, and it was someone stronger. I also hate getting out of bed in the morning, and get sugar cravings... but I try to fight through it and sometimes it works and som...

Fat & Sugar

So this primal way of eating discourages trans fats, but surely it must discriminate against hydrogenates too. I assume there might be guidelines regarding fat mimetics and fat replacers too maybe. I don't know what fat mimetics are, but trans fat is not in any foods that primal eaters "are al...

Here's an interesting link someone sent me - it kind of epitomizes the issues with current ideas about "healthy diet and exercise" ie. eating tons of carbs and doing chronic cardio http://www.marksdailyapple.com/my-healthy-lifestyle-was-killing-me/#axzz23MnH8xM5" onclick="window...

More fat is good if it's the right kind and people shouldn't be afraid of fat, as long as they know what is good from what is bad :). Actually with the "primal" way of eating, no types of fat are off limits - except trans fats of course, which is an artificial fat that does not occur in a...

Re: weight gain after quitting smoking?

You have to replace it with something. Do you think you could become addicted to exercise? ;) It worked for me when I was a teenager, but I wouldn't compare smoking to a lifetime of smoking or anything like that.

I know, right?! Thanks :D The past few days have been nuts. I was manning the fort alone at work, and with vacation coming up I'm at full-tilt with paper-writing. I worked out only twice last week, and had 1 planned treat and 1 cheat, so I'm not super impressed with myself right now. I'm trying to k...
