Tomorrow I'm going to have my first 'cheat day' or 'carb loading' day which apparently are 2 different things. My leptin levels are probably so low that my metabolism has slowed. Plus I've gone god-knows-how-long without bread alcohol and caffeine and I think I've earned it. Everything I read does confirm the 'cheat day' ...

i discovered that I feel 100 better the day after binge day if I eat 100-200gr prunes depending on body size as my last snack on binge day. Tim suggest using caffeine as a mild laxative but that doesn't work for me. I hate feeling bloated and sluggish post binge day and prunes have seemed to fix that problem. They elimi...

Laura I think that it's great that you've seen some great results. It's also apparent that you're really into helping people get on the right path after stressing the importance of taking pictures along the way after the blip with the metadata on your "before" picture. However I'm a fan of full transparency and disclosure...

Fellow Slow Carbers! As part of my plan to get healthy I planned on doing the one thing I've hated to do the most running. I've never been much of a runner and even in HS I always weaseled out of running. Needless to say with all the weight I had put on over the years and the little mobility I had as a computer technicia...

I did a 30 minute workout and had a plate of whole wheat pasta with chicken. I thought it was the right thing to do because I remember reading it on the book. But i just came to confirm and I saw a few posts saying it is only for those who did some endurance exercise. What do you people think I could to amend this? Have 8 e...
