A recommendation to consume more Protein is not saying to exclusively eat more meat although meat does contain the essential amino acids that plant protein lacks.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07848353836451630233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-48470770836300346382014-07-05T10:03:16.721-05:002014-07-05T10:03:16.721-05:00Honestly, that was a trick question -- I wanted to...Honestly, that was a trick question -- I wanted to make sure you ARE truly a professional, because there are so many people who claim to be what they aren't in the blogosphere....<br /><br />Those of us who have been reading Wooo for a long time know that HER dietary necessities are particularly individual -- protein seems to set off neurotransmitter issues, and she copes better with wheat than most of us. In return, I require MUCH more restriction than most, in what vegetation I can eat without unpleasant repercussions. I feel really good eating a pound of beef a day and not much else ... but others don't.<br /><br />But if you haven't been with Wooo from the early days, you may not know that her language is frequently hyperbole -- when she feels strongly about something, she expresses herself in an over-the-top manner. When she says she "gets no exercise" that absolutely is not true -- like me, her exercise is that of everyday living. We walk, we lift, we bend and stoop and squat -- we just don't do it in a dedicated facility.<br /><br />So advising her to eat more meat is not going to help, though it will most people. Just like advising me to eat more vegetables wouldn't be productive of good results. :-) People with accrued metabolic damage -- which can come from a variety of causes -- have to learn what will work for THEM SPECIFICALLY, because what works for the average person CAN be a disaster.<br />tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-33684599810926221042014-07-05T03:00:21.593-05:002014-07-05T03:00:21.593-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Galina L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09156132815504279615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-91572820407135424862014-07-04T17:57:03.683-05:002014-07-04T17:57:03.683-05:00Hi Tess

If they start creeping up and getting out of control I switch straight to clean eating for a few days (lean meat and veggies). This is the only way for me to maintain. I have also seen a pattern; smoked pork/ham = inflammation, whether sodium or the dextrose etc used in the curing. Nuts also bring about inflammation (except almonds).JasmineJohendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11807503482277639920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-37289169180200132452014-07-03T10:05:57.784-05:002014-07-03T10:05:57.784-05:00Hi Tess
As you say there is no one size fits all,...Hi Tess<br /><br />As you say there is no one size fits all, but ! I beleive the control of insulin whether natural or injected is key, not only for weight control, but for a myriad of health conditions. As for CICO the equation for good health and control of weight goes way beyond that over simplification. My old side kick graham who you know of, is as slim as a whip. We both consume around 50 carbs per day, we are around the same age and both physically active. Both type two diabetics. Graham consumes at least 1000 calories per day more than me, yet I am around 10 lbs over weight. For Graham to become overweight, he would have to turn eating into a full time job I reckon, and I doubt he would put on much weight. As I have said, there is far more to weight control than CICO.<br /><br />From our website http://www.lowcarbdiabetic.co.uk/index.htm<br /><br />“Insulin is often referred to by biochemists as the fat building hormone. In fact, the body cannot make body fat without insulin. It is very unusual to find an overweight individual who doesn’t also have elevated insulin levels. Type 2 diabetics, at diagnosis, will often be over producing insulin. <br /><br />Insulin also inhibits the body’s use of stored fat as a source of fuel. Lowering insulin levels is extremely important, perhaps essential, for weight loss to succeed. This is one reason why low carb diets are particularly successful in weight loss since the fewer the carbs, the less insulin is required. <br /><br />Some may also find that they consume fewer calories without feeling hungry because their fat metabolism begins to work properly once more, allowing the body access to energy reserves in fat stores which were previously inaccessible.<br /><br />In broad terms, carbohydrates have a large impact on blood glucose levels, protein much less, and fats have little if any effect.”<br /><br />The worst possible combination for bringing about weight loss is a meal high in carbohydrates and fats. <br /><br />Kind regards EddieLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-62452334560177646672014-07-03T10:04:40.483-05:002014-07-03T10:04:40.483-05:00i usually say that taking care of a three-story ho...i usually say that taking care of a three-story house is enough exercise for any reasonable person.... ;-) we walk, too, of course, but every time i start a new activity, i manage to hurt myself, dammit.tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-8631195352589058342014-07-03T07:46:37.420-05:002014-07-03T07:46:37.420-05:00Yep, that's what I use it for, and to see if m...Yep, that's what I use it for, and to see if my bloat is caused, like you said, by some histamine reaction! actual fat loss is a difficult thing for most sedentary people and our lifestyle is very sedentary by any means. We sit a lot! More than we think. <br />Hormonally this is a big determinant for our ability to use the stored fat. <br />I'm not saying to exercise to lose weight but moving around is what triggers our activation of the larger fat store. Walking, sweeping, gardening, etc. <br />I was looking forward to Woo's post as well...she's a pistol!Larcanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109743909244156390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-61127002531058144462014-07-02T21:59:24.495-05:002014-07-02T21:59:24.495-05:00some people prefer waist measurement, but I find w...some people prefer waist measurement, but I find weight easier to monitor.tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-27459141949980844542014-07-02T20:11:06.918-05:002014-07-02T20:11:06.918-05:00I agree with using a scale to monitor creeping wei...I agree with using a scale to monitor creeping weight gain.
