Have you tried switching the good fat/lean protein breakdown, to instead 70% lean protein/20% good fat/10% carbs You seem to be doing everything right, so it doesn't make sense that the 70% good fat breakdown isn't working, which suggests to me that your body is not using the fats for fuel but inst...

You may be OK as some wrappers have a lining over the aluminum so the chocolate doesn't come in contact with the chocolate. It is so difficult to avoid aluminum that's why drinking silica rich water on a daily basis is important. If you have an Ohm meter you can check to see if the wrapper is alumi...

hmmm, oh great, the 73%+ dark chocolate bars I usually get have aluminum wrappers

Welcome Melanie. Some day I want to learn how to ride a horse (not the trail-led ones!)

I always thought wiki did a pretty good job of monitoring its content. I.e. at the start of some pages, it gives a warning of, say, "this sounds more like a brochure," "needs more citations," etc. But now I understand that there are dark money groups out there which can fund &quo...

Since obesity contributes to health risks in so many ways, maybe I need to do a protocol to lose the weight first and then check numbers and deal with them. Have you tried switching the good fat/lean protein breakdown, to instead 70% lean protein/20%...

Something I've been pondering is the common assumption that whatever foods early humans were eating is what modern humans should be eating. Their diet may have supported short-term survival... but what about long term? Their diet may have been appropriate for people who were not sitting as much, wh...

I'm only eating about 1200 calories a day, and at 5'8" I'm down to 110 pounds and am hungry ALL the time!! I was wondering if there's a place in this forum to talk about what people are eating in terms of macros... many of the "heart healthy" foods are high in carbs, my gut can't tol...
