I agree with Chaos. Ubi, at your size just about any intervention will work, Keto diets are usually for leaner people that want to be VERY lean (although they work on nearly everyone), for a limited time-frame. If you like it though and it works I'd stick with it for a while. Just keep in...

The eggs you buy at the store and people (usually) eat are unfertilized. Basically it is us eating the results of hens "ovulating." In some places people do eat fertilized eggs... I advise against Googling it if you ever want to come around to liking them (yuck).

Friend of mine posted a good link, check it out:http://simplesciencefitness.com/

That is a lot more reasonable, lowish but not low enough to cause much concern. Track it for a few days to get a better "average" intake.

Hard-boiled eggs make a good "protein snack" with the side bonus of being tasty real food.

Ark, your contention (along with the links you posted) seems to be that a person's general size, weight, and body composition are unrelated to hormones and entirely dependent on Calories in/Calories out. This is totally, patently, and demonstrably false. To continue along this line of...

The thing about being as much of a moron as you are isyou don't even realize it. Please remove yourself, people like you are are holding the species back.

You are truly, truly stupid. I think I would kill myself if I was as dumb as you.

This is a complex subject full of nuances. Essentially though, your consciousness has the illusion that it has much more control than it actually does. You'd be surprised by how little about your daily lifeyou(as in the conscious "self" part of you) is actually in charge of. If I might...

Ah, the wonders of genetic diversity. There are people that are the opposite of that you realize, like me. I eat ridiculously healthy, train BJJ for 2 hours 4-5 times a week and although I am in good shape am still a little chubby around the mid-section. The fact of the matter is that genes...

Look, I get that you are too lazy and/or stupid to read or watch any of his actual work and are instead creating strawmen to argue against. I know this because had you bothered to actually try and learn anything you'd know that he isn't even close to a "low-carb" guy, he is the "Anti-sugar"...

Well, yes, if you are going to quibble semantics. You can eat x% of a deathcap and it won't kill you (probably not a good idea to test it). The average same level of exposure to fructose appears to be about 80 grams a week, or about 2 cans of soda. This is quite a bit lower than what most...

Umm... 40/40/30 isn't a high carb diet, what planet do you live on?

Are you really trying to address a issue about populations by pointing out individual exceptions? I assume you think the average penis is 12 inches long and you are going to prove that by posting some photos of porn stars. Now, do I actually have to write a treatise on genetic diversity in...

Beating at strawmen again? Do your hands work?

No, I actually read and educate myself.

Ok, so here is the problem. We can define bad foods as ones that cause sickness or disease, and good foods as ones that help you thrive. So, a deathcap would be a bad food (it will kill you) and say some spinach would be a good food because it contains things that help you thrive. Now, you...

I get that you are wrong and you can't face it, moving straight to ad-hominem. The science is there now, if you want to actually learn something pick up the book and read it. You are completely, totally, and utterly wrong. The obesity epidemic is a symptom of the underlying metabolic...

Skip to 3:17 for the shorthand For the detailed and heavily cited versionread the whole book.

We can disagree, that's fine. As to why you should care how healthy I am... well that is a different topic for a different thread and touches much more on politics than nutrition really. That is a debate about public goods (such as public health) and community in general and not nutrition or...

We aren't discussing your diet, we are discussing general advice for the population. Very relevant. At no point was I ever specifically talking about coffee, only grass-fed meat and dairy in general (which I specified in my original post). I finally Googled bulletproof coffee, and yes it is...

I have lots of problems with the general guidance of Calorie counting. That isn't to say that you should never do it, there are certainly instances where I would actually advise it (bodybuilder dieting for a comp, wrestler trying to make weight) but none of those circumstances involve normal...

The importance of the ratio of omega-6/omega-3 essential fatty acids.The benefit is more than marginal, but not enough on its own if you keep eating a "Standard American Diet" but with grass-fed meat/dairy instead. As for ruminant empathy specifically, that is outside the context of a weight...

Listen, you are way, way out of your league here. If you had even the slightest clue or Googled for 5 seconds you'd know the the n-3:n-6 ratio in grass fed products is around 1:2, which still isn't the ideal 1:1 but gets you much closer than the15/1-16.7/1 found in modern western diets. I...

That is quite an astonishing density of strawmen. I linked thewhole bookfor a reason, it is far more detailed and well cited. In a public discussion forum like this one brevity is a positive, not a negative. Dr. Lustig is an extremely well respected and widely published pediatric...

I can address the grass-fed butter. Grass fed meat and dairy is significantly better for you due the the lipid and nutrient profile. Ruminants that eat grass (like they are supposed to) haveincreased plasma and platelet n-3 PUFA(PDF). Not to mention grass-fed cows are usually pastured and...

Paleo is a "rule of thumb" (along with some marketing) for eatingfoodand avoiding the Western Global Industrial diet. That is pretty much the key to it. Alternatively you could follow the "Great-Grandmother" diet, which is a similar rule where you shouldn't eat anything your great-grandmother...

I've mentioned this before, but counting Calories alone it not sufficient for long term weight control. The secret to weight loss being "Calories in < Calories out" is in fact largely a fiction. The human body is not a Calorimeter that treats all Calories equally and if you eat the right...

You could use a Raspberry Pi with RaspBMC on it as a cheap streamer too, it is a bit minimalist but it works and you can just tape it to the back of the TV out of the way using the HDD USB plug on it for power and connectivity.

I am in the market for one too, after looking into building one I finally decided that a pre-built NAS was easier and did mostly what I wanted anyway. The Synology and QNAP are nice but pretty expensive, the D-Link are cheap but pretty crappy. Recently Netgear just refreshed their NAS and I...

Generally speaking, "Pay-to-win" monetizes extremely well and can dramatically boost ARPPU. Whether we like it or not (I don't in the games I play) it is here to stay.

Paleo advice is generally very solid and backed up pretty well by science (that is the result of cutting processed foods and especially sugar, not necessarily the exact reasoning behind it).

Yea, I read the article more carefully, but they are still a decent bump in performance at that price point. I wasn't planning on paying the premium for the pro at 250GB anyway (it is a rather high one) so for me it is a doubling of the write speed for about the same price which is a decent but...

Mkopec and Joeboo posted good builds. 2 exceptions I would say are that you need nowhere near a 750 watt power supply for just a single card PC, 450-500 watts is fine as a system like that draws less than 300 watts at load. Secondly, there is no reason to buy Windows 7, Windows 8 is a better...

Wow, 3x faster? I am absolutely holding my build off until these are available. Glad I caught this before I bought my SSD.

True, I suppose it is a matter of personal preference. For example I actually like the shape of my girlfriend's G400 mouse better than my G9x, but couldn't justify not using my ~$80 mouse to myselfIt is based on the much beloved Logitech MX500 which has a super comfortable shape. It was...

The G9 mouse is great (I have it), but Logitech just completely refreshed the entire line of G-Series mice. They have all new models at every level, so just checkthis page outand then order it from amazon at a cheaper price. All are solid mice that should last you a while. I ordered the...

Solid advice for a cheaper build. I also recommend a gtx760 if you can manage it, they are extremely good price/performance wise. If you don't intend to ever overclock then you can shave a bit more going with a non-K version of the i5 and an H series motherboard. You need a surprisingly small...

The academy where I train BJJ has a Yoga class that I've taken a couple of times. It is pretty fun and I wasn't all that great at it, but it didn't approach the difficulty of a normal class there. The biggest problem was the giant puddle of sweat that formed on the mat under me made it nearly...

This is not true, not at all. You are ignoring a vast array of well studied and well-known hormone signalling mechanisms that are the actual reason you store or use fat. A human is not a calorimeter that perfectly reduces food to heat, metabolism is a complex biochemical process that is far...
