JoshF 2012-01-12T19:51:33Z 2012-01-12T19:51:33Z <p>My inflation response is intense. I'm assuming this is because eating a diet to reduce inflamation means that when inflamation needs to work, it does with a vengeance! When I twist, bang, break or otherwise damage myself, the first response is <em>massive</em> swelling. Massive swelling that is almost comical (wife: "Should we go to the doctor, that looks bad?" me: "nah, doesn't hurt at all and I don't think it's broken, what are they gonna do?"). There is little or no pain after about 15 minutes post-injury. The swelling goes down after about 25%(?) of the repair time. The pain sets in after the swelling goes down and the healing starts.</p> <p>As others have mentioned, it's a little faster to heal, but I think the big changes are the instant inflamation, relative painlessness, I only ooze blood instead of gush blood, little to no bruising even for major damage that leaves notches in my bones I can feel months later.</p> <p>I've made several Wolverine jokes about it ;)</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/96039/whats-so-wrong-with-eating-past-satiety Comment by JoshF JoshF 2012-02-08T05:26:22Z 2012-02-08T05:26:22Z Once-per-day Eater here, checking in. The edge that hunger brings and the happiness of a full belly all in one day? Yes, please! I've been doing it for 5 months. I also tend to skip a meal now and again. (every 10 days or so) I eat perfect health diet style with a pound of potato in each (daily) meal (fried in delicous fats...mmmMMmmm) Your stomach stops growling at 'late morning meal' and 'noon meal' and 'late afternoon snack'...but continues to growl for dinner bloodwork from two weeks ago: glucose level was 80 NMR Insulin Resistence Score = 5 (&lt;=45) triglyceride to HDL ratio is .78
