If you're used to running carbs you may rightly feel a bit tired the first few weeks of going paleo, and the alcohol certainly won't help with that at all. However, with...

Just posting to clear things up here. It's true that high total blood cholesterol is a marker for heart disease, not a cause per se. The reason this matters is that high levels of LDL cholesterol are...

The goal is health improvement, not re-enactment. I eat primally because I feel more energized and stronger when I'm on it. I'm eating the best I can with the food that's available to me. If that...

I consider olive and avocado to be fruits, so the oils from them would probably be better categorized as "fruit oils." I love olive oil and I dump it over everything when I'm at my parents' house...

vabeachgirl,

What I meant to say was, unless you are being really strict with your carbs, there's no reason to count an apple and a salad (even a "big ass salad" a la Richard Nikoley) toward your...

If you aren't eating as many carbs, you have to eat more fat. Fat and carb calorie balance should work like a see-saw. The body doesn't like to use protein as a fuel source (it would much rather use...

Jackeroo,

How's your physical activity? If you're not already sprinting/lifting heavy, may want to consider starting. That will turn on the furnace again :)

Nice to see another fellow Grok, Zorba!
