Just to let everyone know i have been using electronic scales to monitor BF% and theyre giving me an inaccurate reading. Although theyre the latest ones on the...
Thanks Luke for the pointer! Hi all. I am trying to find a fruit that will be suitable for the carb load cycle. What I got from the book is that you want more...
Hi Brad, note that Rob generally doesn't favor drinks that are rich in energy ("calorie-containing liquids"). I do feel it would be better to get most your...
Im new to the group...I am glad somebody started a group for this stuff. I had a question about cocunut oil...Do any of you guys currently use it? I've heard...
Hi J, We've discussed coconut oil a few times on this board and I think the following is generally agreed on: - Unprocessed coconut oil is a natural food with...
Couple things - does anyone take udo's oil? I recently read his slightly outdated but very informative book "fats that heal, fats that kill". I guess the...
JY, Happy to hear a rant now and again! I used to take Udo's when I Iived in Canada ($15 a bottle?) but stopped when I moved to Australia ($40+ a bottle!!!). I...
Cool Joel, thanks. The thing about the colonic stuff is I'm 32 and I spent most of my life eating crap, so i guess i figured I'll try anything once and sort...
I have a new set of scales which also apparently check BF% aswell. They read 23% for me when i get on and they are worth about $250. I got a calliper test the...
Wow, that's a shocking difference. The really dodgy thing about the bf scales is that they ask for your age. Why? Fat is fat and muscle is muscle regardless of...
Hehe, great point Joel! Sorry it's taking me so long to respond to the protein absorption issue. I'm really busy fixing up a new apartment and moving... I'll...
No problem Simon. Thinking about the issue more, it dawns on me that if we could never absorb more than 50 grams of protein, then we also could never elicit a...
I have recently started following NHE and find the ideas and research very interesting. I have already been through the metabolic shift and have managed ok...
Welcome to the board! What are your current goals for yourself? According to the BMI, at 105-110 pounds and 5'2" you're either in the healthy range or slightly...
Thanks for responding Joel. My goals I guess essentially are to be healthy and lean. The reason why my BMI may seem low is because I have a very petite...
Lori, You could always have something like an Atkins protein bar in the afternoon if its difficult to either cook or have leftover meat on hand. Deli meats ...
Hey all - I spent the weekend in vegas for a bachelor party in which I only ate like twice a day and when I did I had whatever - sugar, carbs pizza - the...
I have experienced the same thing but not quite on that scale. I am mostly dedicated to my diet. Sometimes frustrated at the slow response to my efforts....
Hey guys, When alcohol is involved I'm inclined to believe that weight loss is due to dehydration. Several times I have had a "big night" on the beer, wine, or...
I am currently on day 5 of the 7-day metabolic shift of the NHE Eating Plan. I have developed swollen lymph nodes in the neck area and red, sensitive skin...
What had you (not) been eating before? Maybe it's a case of food intolerance? Your immune system should otherwise agree with NHE, and more likely become...
Before, I usually had around 2 to 4 eggs per week, but this week I have eaten up to five eggs per day. Do you think that these symptoms could be caused by a...
It's possible, so you could try to eat fewer eggs for a while and see... If your symptoms disappear eat more eggs and see if they reappear. Do this with any...
Thanks hu :) More like 1 year. I started doing high protein and good carbs only in around august of last year. I didnt read NHE until around october of last...
I always like to hear a success story! I'm 47 and on the NHE eating plan going on 6 months. I am loosing the fat but its the slowest process I've ever been...
