I don't think your weight lifts should go DOWN. Actually, I find that my strength level is the first to suffer when "something" is wrong ... that is the theory...
This is very interesting, Heather. However, isn't it the case that the chickens are in a developmental period analogous, in human terms, to the growth-spurt...
Wow, just got finished reading over the last couple of days worth of posts and you're all barking up the tree that I and my fellow paleolithic eating friends...
Not being a guy, I have no idea how muscle grows on guys, or when! It seems to have something to do with myostatin: if you don't have much of it, you grow...
Yeah, it's an accepted fact that pro bodybuilders routinely use anabolic drugs, and those who don't, in fact, compete in separate events reserved for "natural"...
Thanks so much, as usual, Rick... Here's more of a recap on me: I learned I had above-normal blood sugars in early September. One year ago, I was lifting...
... It was beef. and i had nothing else with it. _____ From: fast5@yahoogroups.com [mailto:fast5@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Heather Twist Sent: Sunday,...
Hm. I found kind of what I was looking for: =============== The researchers measured the concentration of myostatin in the subjects’ blood. Weight training...
If you get a chance to try pure fish, I'd be curious as to the results. Or pure whey protein. The assumption with beef is that it is "protein", but there is a...
Karen, as you know, I'm no doctor so take this with a grain of salt and an air of urban legend. :) But... 1) Have you had your thyroid checked? Make sure...
You can do a simple at home thyroid check, put a quarter size circle of Iodine (in the pharmacy) on your abdomen at night, it should still be there in the...
Thanks Jewel, I'll give that thyroid test a try. Sounds like fun. :) Glad your better now. I was just reading about how they're finding an unusually high...
I just had some blood tests done. I follow a mostly Weston Price diet (with almost no grains or milk). I am 38 years old. My ND said my diet was amazing......
Rick, could you elaborate more of what you DO eat. Like maybe a sample days menu, I tend to eat a LOT of grains in the form of oats. I have two children with...
... spoonful of peanut butter and beer or wine with dinner. Once I cut that out, the weight has just melted off very easily. I suspect there's something in...
... No. Saw an Endo a couple weeks ago, tho. He 'manipulated' mine and didn't seem to think there was a problem... ... of years ago and ever since, I just...
I have trouble with insomnia off and on... Today, I fasted, and around 4:30 I went to the health food store - they were giving away free samples of vegan...
I went to "natural salt" too and had issues. We still do like the "sea salt" but what I did was to make some furikake seasoning, which is what they use in...
If you look at most animals, esp. carnivores, they usually eat a big meal, then go to sleep. It takes a lot of blood to digest food, so the best thing to do is...
Yesterday I had a steak, salad, asparagus and cheesecake at 5, by 5:30 I was asleep. So I can hardly wait to hear some answers on this, as I am clueless. ... ...
If you are concerned about your blood sugar, the only way to really know how the way you are eating is affecting you is to get a glucometer and check before...
I am losing weight ever so slowly and have a long way to go to re-build my strength and flexibility. This is going so slow that I thought I'd share with the...
Heather, I had itching too...full-body, 24/7 for 18 months. After seeing allergists, gastro and other docs about this I went to a liver specialist who wrote...
Hi Lisa, There are at least two programs out there that recommend low carb, high protein with moderate fat as well as oil. One is an old one called "Calories...
Bunny and Tamara- Both of these meals contained large amounts of sugar. The cheesecake is full of sugar and the truffles are full of sugar. Any sugar at all...
I wouldn't under-estimate the stress of interval training, especially if you're low-carbing, because by their anaerobic nature, intervals make a high demand on...
Since there has been an ongoing discussion about diabetes, carbohydrates, and other sugar related topics, I thought I shared this one and half hour educational...
Hi Karen- Yeah, 18 times BW seems awfully high. I've heard 10xBW if you're trying to lose weight in the traditional weight loss programs. But that's where...
