Is it a bad idea to "pig out" during the second meal of the carb load on the general eating plan? Will this cause fat gain due to the increased level of...
Good points Simon. The more you look into hormomes, the more complicated you realize the whole system is. It seems like influencing someone's hormones through...
To add to Joel's good comments: Regarding aging and growth hormone, it appears that it isn't the body's capacity to produce the hormone that declines. Rather...
Yes, i witnessed exactly that - once they stopped taking it it kinda seemed like they were worse off than if they never did at all. No shortcuts in this life...
Not off topic at all Jason, this is what NHE is all about! Unless you're willing to take GH for the rest of your life I think there's no point in taking it....
Thanks Joel, I wouldn't imagine that any dietary manipulation would make GH go unreasonably hog wild. I knew a few people who were using exogenous GH, the...
Jason, I agree NHE should prevent diabetes. I believe concern arose from the fact that: a) NHE strives to heighten GH production b) Excess GH production can...
Doesn't NHE prevent diabetes? I kind of thought that since NHE keeps insulin levels low most of the time, that it would be the opposite. Preventing type II ...
Welcome to the board! First off, you should understand that growth hormone is a problem only when its too low or too high in an individual. There's some really...
Growth Hormone seems to promote diabetes in two ways: 1) by GH's ability to increase free fatty acid concentration in the blood following lipolysis (acts...
Thank you for your reply, Simon. I'm a well built 260lbs 23yr old with a 5'10'' frame. W/o any bodyfat whatsoever, I'd put my weight realistically at around...
Hi Steve, welcome to the forum! what are your goals? What results are you looking for? I think it's important to see NHE as a way to live rather than a...
Hello All, My name is Steve and I just started NHE two and a half weeks ago. For those of you that have seen results on NHE, I'd like to ask you a question:...
Hello, Rob mentions a type of feedback mechanism that can come into play when taking individual aminos. I have been taking Glutamine for a month now. I...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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 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 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...
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 ...
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...
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...
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...
