Low carb diet and seratonin levels

[cockdezl]

"What do you think about my fruit juice? Btw, I have a lot of weight to lose."

There is nothing wrong with your idea (fruit juice/soda water), since it truly boils down to caloric level. You could lose weight on an all M&M diet, if the calories were low enough.

Grape juice tends to have the highest carb levels, while apple juice has low glucose/high fructose level (lower insulin release with fructose).

My bf's name is Macgyver, he's been hanging around here for a while now!! I will definitely give him a huge smooch when I see him, thanks honey for the "gift" of information (if your reading this post!!) Sooooooooo, I will try St. John's Wort, preferably the pills as I don't drink tea, and see how that does for me. My carb intake is under 50 per day, should I up it? I'm only trying to lose about 3 more pounds...everyone said I was too "skinny" and looked sick at 103 lbs last year. I just want to look healthy and fit at about 107. Hey, what do you think about grapefruit juice- heard the acid in it is great for weight loss?? Thanks guys, this is a great way to find out all I need to know, you'll be hearing a lot from me!!

There's no magic in grapefruit juice, although if you wash down an ECA stack with a glass of it, the effects of the stack last slightly longer. Whole fruits are a better carb choice than the juices, because of the fiber.

With all due respect, I'd concentrate on "looking healthy and fit" and not worry about what the scales say. Size is a better indication of lean body mass than weight.

I'M REALLY SICK OF THE ANTI-LOW CARBIST PROPAGANDA. I'VE BEEN ON A LOW CARB DIET FOR MOST OF THE LAST THREE YEARS. ITS THE BEST DIET I'VE EVER TRIED AND I'VE NEVER FELT BETTER. I'M LEANER, HEALTHIER, HAVE MORE ENERGY, AND MUCH HAPPIER.

A FEW THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN STARTING THIS DIET ARE:

- THE ENZYMES REQUIRED TO DIGEST FAT AND PROTEIN TAKE SEVERAL WEEKS TO REACH ADEQUATE LEVELS FOR A NO-CARB DIET. FOR SOME, LONGER.

- BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS WILL BE LOW UNTIL YOUR BODY ADJUSTS TO KETO, MAKING YOU FEEL LETHARGIC AND TIRED. INSULIN LEVELS WILL ALSO BE LOW AT FIRST, MAKING NUTRIENT TRANSPORT LIMITED. THIS WILL TEMPORARILY AFFECT MANY PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESSES, BUT STICK WITH IT FOR TWO MONTHS AND YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID.

- THE BACTERIA IN YOUR GUT WILL SHIFT TO MORE BENEFICIAL STRAINS AS YOU CONTINUE TO EAT NO/LOW CARB. AT FIRST, DIGESTIVE DISTURBANCES AND FEELING CRAPPY MAY RESULT. TAKE A PROBIOTIC DURING THIS TIME.

HEY, THERE'S A REASON ESKIMOS ARE SO LEAN AND MUSCULAR. EVEN MODERNIZED ESKIS THAT FOLLOW A TRADITIONAL DIET OF SEAL, CARIBOU, AND FISH REMAIN IN FANTASTIC PHYSICAL CONDITION, DESPITE USING SNOW MOBILES, FIREARMS, CARS, ETC., AND NOT GETTING ALL THAT EXCERSIZE.

Chill out Big Johnson, and remember you are on a women's board. If you did a little research on eskimos, you'd find that eskimo males have lower skinfold measurements than other American males, but still have the same %bf (internal fat accumulation instead of subcutaneous). You would also find that eskimo WOMEN have HIGHER skinfold measurements AND higher internal fat stores than your average american female. In other words we find yet again that men and women are not the same!

Also, as a whole, Eskimo’s are of shorter stature because of changes of thousands of years. Smaller in stature means they have less skin surface so less heat can escape. Plus, during anthropology I wrote a paper about a hypothesis of mine that Neanderthals are really not extinct but the ancestors of the Eskimos due to their body habitus, short and stocky basically, very rugged and their facial features.

That really did not have much to do with the previous post did it?

THANKS BRO, ALMOST FORGOT WHERE I WAS...EEERRRRR

If you did a little research on eskimos, you'd find that eskimo males have lower skinfold measurements than other American males

ESKIMOS ARE AMERICAN, STUPID - ESKIMOS LIVE IN NORTH AMERICA

but still have the same %bf (internal fat accumulation instead of subcutaneous).

AND YOU GOT YOUR INFO WHERE? THE SOURCE OF MY INFO CAN BE FOUND IN "PROTEIN POWER" BY THE EADES. WHAT ABOUT YOUR'S?

You would also find that eskimo WOMEN have HIGHER skinfold measurements AND higher internal fat stores than your average american female.

WHICH MEANS...?

In other words we find yet again that men and women are not the same!

WAS THIS NEWS TO YOU?

SO I GUESS LOW CARB DIETS DON'T REDUCE BODY FAT...EEERRRRR

RETARD
