At my recent BUPA 'Health Assessment' I was a stone lighter than at my previous assessment 11 years ago. 11 years ago, I was doing no exercise and eating crap. Now I'm doing a fair bit of exercise and eating slightly less crap.
My waist was an inch bigger, and my body fat percentage was unchanged.
As far as I know I haven't had a leg drop off or anything, so no idea how that works.Comment

A low carb diet is not going to produce enough energy for me, end of. If you are losing fat using one of these diets doing it then you were eating too much before and any other type of restricted calorie diet work in the same way.
Dressing this stuff up as caveman tulipe is nothing more than marketing hype in repackaging and reselling easily understood and easily available information.
5 a day and RDAs with the recommended amount of exercise is the best way to lose weight, maintain good health and perform 100% throughout the day.Comment

RDA = 45-year-old guess at suitable intakes based on standard American diet of the time.
Not that you shouldn't eat veg and be sure to get vitamins and minerals. Just don't take these 2 as gospel.
Still, I'm a cynic, I don't even take the gospel as gospel.Comment

I don't get dogmatic in real life and I'll eat a sandwich if someone makes me one. But I eat the meat for me and the bread for them, eating bread really isn't pleasant any more.Comment

Originally posted by expat View Post3? I've lost 17. Admittedly a sign that I was eating very wrongly, and doubtless I could have lost weight many other ways. But this one feels right and is easy to stick to.
