Mike 2011-11-10T15:06:17Z 2011-11-10T15:06:17Z <p>I can't imagine how yoga could drain muscle and liver glycogen. It's not anaerobic or even particularly aerobic. It's stretching. If you feel "over-stretched" have a contrast shower after words and don't over eat during. Carb-up for yoga?</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/74478/how-much-to-eat How much to eat? Mike 2011-11-02T23:34:19Z 2011-11-09T06:04:38Z <p>What are peoples "rules of thumb" for ad libitum eating? How do you portion food and how do you know when you have had "enough"? I'm a fat guy who has lost a lot of weight and really want to NOT spend my life counting calories but I just don't trust my sense of hunger. I've been trying to but I run into this - </p> <p>Day 1 - coffee with 1/3 of a cup of heavy cream for breakfast at about 2:30 I have 4-6oz of meat cooked in butter or coconut milk (1-2TB), some homemade fermented veg and some carrots and then supper will be 4-5oz of meat (undrained), some chopped veg (1/2 a pepper, 1/4 onion, handful of chopped tomato) and then maybe 40z of berries with coconut milk or cream for dessert. </p> <p>If I eat this way I seem to do ok...more or less, though I do get cold hands occasionally and sometimes I seem to get really grumpy and sour. Not consistently though.</p> <p>Other days my wife and I have time in the morning for breakfast so I'll make us breakfast - </p> <p>4 eggs, 4 slices of bacon, some random veg and then the wheels come off. No matter what I make, this or high-fat, homemade yogurt and fruit or anything, and I am ravenous all day. I end up eating almost constantly. </p> <p>I really don't want to be forced to measure in order to not feel like I'm overeating and I really don't want to be the guy who has to carry 5 containers of food in my backpack and be eating constantly. Thoughts? Please?</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/75746/how-can-i-make-dairy-free-egg-free-nightshade-free-latkes/75759#75759 Answer by Mike for How can I make dairy-free egg-free nightshade-free Latkes? Mike 2011-11-08T18:31:07Z 2011-11-08T18:31:07Z <p>I've used ground flax soaked in hot water.

Mike 2011-11-05T18:33:18Z 2011-11-05T18:33:18Z <p>Blame the Hippies. 1960's the whole "solidarity with brown people via brown food" thing. So silly. "Brown" people eat white rice....lol</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/74934/ketosis-and-fermentation Ketosis and fermentation? Mike 2011-11-05T02:08:44Z 2011-11-05T02:08:44Z <p>What's a good rule of thumb for calculating Carb (sugar content) of fermented veg? I've never done a Ketogenic diet, and I want to give it a shot (for "fun") and make a lot of fermented Vegetables and fermented dairy. </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/76873/i-hate-raw-butter-how-much-am-i-missing-out/76889#76889 Comment by Mike Mike 2011-11-13T21:20:17Z 2011-11-13T21:20:17Z I gotta agree with Matt. What possible health benefit could raw butter have? The inclusion of lactase to breakdown lactose....which isn't included in the butter? http://paleohacks.com/questions/76860/butter-in-coffee-and-intermittent-fast Comment by Mike Mike 2011-11-13T19:04:13Z 2011-11-13T19:04:13Z No difference? None? None at all? How about the fact that autophagy is a protein scrounging function and butter has essentially no protein. Yes you are turning on digestion, minorly, you'd still get a benefit from an all fat or fat and carb breakfast. It's just a matter of degrees. Plus you block cortisol spikes which are a real issue. http://paleohacks.com/questions/76623/so-chick-peas/76662#76662 Comment by Mike Mike 2011-11-13T16:38:36Z 2011-11-13T16:38:36Z so what were the results? http://paleohacks.com/questions/72805/daily-scheduled-fasting-vs-random-fasting-benefit/76810#76810 Comment by Mike Mike 2011-11-13T16:32:08Z 2011-11-13T16:32:08Z Decaf or half-caf? http://paleohacks.com/questions/15997/is-very-low-carb-overrated/16021#16021 Comment by Mike Mike 2011-11-13T05:53:58Z 2011-11-13T05:53:58Z That's some of the worst writing I've ever seen. The bias is palpable, and the honesty is questionable. &quot; In fact, if you truly wanted to keep insulin as low as possible, then you wouldn’t eat a high protein diet…you would eat a low protein, low carbohydrate, high fat diet. However, I don’t see anybody recommending that.&quot; Although I'm not a fan of his bars, shakes and all that I do believe this is precisely what Dr. Atkins suggested. As a matter of fact it's what EVERY low-carber I personally know does. This guy is a jack-ass... http://paleohacks.com/questions/15997/is-very-low-carb-overrated/16016#16016 Comment by Mike Mike 2011-11-13T05:26:02Z 2011-11-13T05:26:02Z I'm calling troll on this one. Troll...or asshole. http://paleohacks.com/questions/74478/how-much-to-eat/74484#74484 Comment by Mike Mike 2011-11-03T00:00:34Z 2011-11-03T00:00:34Z I appreciate your thoughts but I don't think that is likely to be the answer. I don't know that any meat I have access to is lean enough to illicit that reaction. I've had days when I was lifting weights where I would make it through 3-4 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breast after working out. That's when I stopped pre-cooking chicken. No nausea, but I did get full. However I can't really afford to hit 4lbs of meat at each meal. I know I'm big and I'm really active but POUNDS of meat...? http://paleohacks.com/questions/74478/how-much-to-eat/74480#74480 Comment by Mike Mike 2011-11-02T23:57:28Z 2011-11-02T23:57:28Z I've been thinking of pushing myself to try that. Did you have any problem with hypoglycaemia during the day? If you did, did it eventually go away?
