Supplement with fiber and vitamin C. You will not have to worry about cholesterol. Some case studies show that cholesterol levels will go down on a ketogenic diet (Atkins) anyway. Fiber will bind with the bile acids and free cholesterol in the system and remove it with the stool. The extra...

I have read that whole foods rich in carbohydrates may also contain the amino acid Tryptophan. Eating the carbs first may give Tryptophan a head start to the blood-brain barrier where it will cross and cause sleepiness and also block amino acids from the protein from crossing. Eating the...

Hehe, wife and I always pass out like a pair of heroin junkies after the post-workout carb-up. Its about 3 hours of euphoric cat-napping and a full day to recover. Insulin shock!

I add uncooked unsalted nuts like Pecans and Walnuts to keep the fat up per meal. 1/4 cup of nuts is about 14g fat (mostly W6 and monounsaturated fats) and about 4 to 8 carbs--half of which is fiber. Read the labels; some yummy seeds like cashews and pistachios are high in sugar!

My meals at work are 28g of zero carb whey with 2 or 3 tbs flax (28g - 32g fat) 1tsp psyllium husks (4g fiber) 1/2 tsp ester-C and 1/4 cup low carb nuts in a baggie (pecans, walnuts, pine nuts; unsalted uncooked) ~14g fat/ ~4g carb, half in fiber. Total intake is 28g p/42g f/ ~8g c (if you...

You do not have to order a sweetener. I find that the CFM Whey is a little sweet natrually--tastes like cream--without the fat. I don't know what the other whey isolates taste like. I would recommend ordering like a 1/2 lb of whatever looks interesting and trying them.

I'm with you. A search on ANY artificial sweetener will show that they have evidence of side effects, usually cancer or some kind of CNS toxicity. Most of that is under debate--but why risk the health hazzards? In addition I am chemically sensitive to Aspartame, and Asulfame-K. A good...

Yea I have a TBF551. I measure myself at 3:00 am every morning after i wake up and drag myself to the gym because I feel that I am at the most constant state of hydration and digestion. I find that my first reading is high (1-2%) and subsequent readings are lower. I measure myself about 4...

I thought I'd post a few links on tuna & mercury levels and a few links on symptoms of low level mercury poisoning--but instead I suggest you type "tuna mercury" in the 'ol Google search box and spend the rest of the day reading the hundreds of reports about the rising mercury levels in canned...

carnosine for the record: Carnosine is a natural amino-acid that has been known about for decades (please don't confuse it with L-Carnitine), but it is only through recent Australian and British clinical and laboratory studies that the benefits of carnosine have become better known...

I see this question a lot so I will post my personal results. The provided chart shows my weight, and composition over 6 months taken every day at 3 am. The body composition was measured using a Tantia body composition scale (starting in April). I understand the Tantia scales are not very...

Udo Erasmus explains that the W3 and W6 (as well as other poly and super unsaturated) fatty acids are spared from the normal metabolic process to be used for hormone production tissue construction, brain function etc. Only after there is sufficient fatty acids to take care of these functions is...

I am looking for articles,FAQs or advice pertaining to monitoring and manipulating insulin sensitivity and metabolism. I started out 5 months ago at 275 lbs 39%bf and am now 219lbs 24%bf (male, 6'2" age:29). I used a diet of 58p/14c/28f at 1850cal over 6 meals/day with no cheat days (no...

I put my flax oil on tuna. Also hemp oil is a good source of EFA's and tastes like uncooked sunflower seeds--good on romain lettuce with a bit of vinegar or lemon juice.
