Today I received an email from thepaleodiet.com. I asked if they thought that most of the problems of modern civilization were a result of carbohydrates rather than saturated fats. This was their explanation.

I went to your website – congratulations on your progress.
You will no doubt lose weight on an Atkins type diet. However, you [...]

Today I woke up with a lot of energy and my mood was really positive. This is my second day of not feeling very nauseous and so I seem to be adjusting. The other thing I have noticed is that my nails have suddenly grown really white and are much stronger rather than been all [...]
Does overeating make us obese?
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged calories, fat, health, nutrition, obese, obesity, overeating on October 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The current theory that dominates medicine, science, media and most peoples opinions today is that overconsumption of calories causes obesity. If you overeat you get fat. Simple physics right? I propose that instead of this old premise, overeating is a consequence of our body putting on fat. This is a subtle but rather major difference. If some [...]

I cannot believe that I only ate 1600 calories today and I am NOT hungry. I simply am amazed at this. I literally do not feel hungry at all. I am starting to get used to the meals and that horrible nausea has gone. But most of all I am simply NOT hungry. Still feeling [...]

Researchers looked at the data of blood samples of 3700 men with prostrate cancer and 5200 men without it, and found higher levels of IFG-1 in the cancer group. [...]

A new approach

There are two reasons why I have changed my site. Firstly, I had noticed since I had been on the paleodiet that the less carbohydrates I ate the less hungry I felt. So I concluded that it was carbohydrates that essentially were the problem with my eating. In conjunction, I have been reading a book [...]
Carb induced hiatus

Well my job interview went well. My eating didn’t. I ate a sandwich in the morning and then induced a carb fest from then on. I swear that carbs are addictive. OR I blow out on them when I give myself permission. But either way this is another confirmation to myself that I should just [...]
