I had a similar experience when I cut out all pasta, bread, and crackers.<br /><br />No more stomach problems.<br />Much better physique.<br /><br />Restaurants are a big problem since they are often slow and put bread in front of me when I wait. Whenever I succumb and starting munching, I regret it.BBat50https://www.blogger.com/profile/09736054246852300843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361443425638782419.post-31731346658960683662012-02-10T16:58:32.657+00:002012-02-10T16:58:32.657+00:00Hi Brett, I miss bananas too!

Anyway breakfast now consists of omelettes made with smoked salmon, mushrooms, tomatoes, goat cheese, followed by a bowl of berries and natural yoghurt. Not a bad replacement eh?Sue Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16008609198511182782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361443425638782419.post-43126021952885020242012-02-10T14:55:42.911+00:002012-02-10T14:55:42.911+00:00Hi Sue,
The health effects you experienced certai...Hi Sue,<br /><br />The health effects you experienced certainly seem to warrant a little experimentation for lots of people. I still have trouble with the "cave man" diet comes down to this: I simply can't trust diet advice that tells me I can't have a banana any time I want. (I know I am being a little hyperbolic, since the paleo-diet does include some carbs).<br /><br />But still, I cant have brown rice? Or my backyard-grown russet potatoes? I LOVE baking them and adding a little olive oil with salt and pepper. <br /><br />I too have a couple mid-section pounds that like to stick around, even with all my karate training. But a little P90-X melted them away (no, I didnt do the p90-X diet with the program).<br /><br />Anyway, diet is a personal thing. I'm just offering my own alternative experience. I suppose I certainly could try paleo eating for a week, though. If nothing else it would add to my recipe book.The Strongest Karatehttp://www.kyokushinblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361443425638782419.post-71300255423043351952012-02-10T08:05:35.128+00:002012-02-10T08:05:35.128+00:00John, Yep!

...John, Yep! I now know how Terminator 2 finished! <br /><br />I agree that low carb eating is not a diet in the sense of merely being a 'reducing diet'. I was using the word diet in the more general medical sense of the word i.e selecting a food regime to achieve a particular aim. <br /><br />I take it you're now eating carbs again...Sue Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16008609198511182782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361443425638782419.post-36180844854740246452012-02-09T05:48:29.032+00:002012-02-09T05:48:29.032+00:00I don't believe you now watch the end of movie...I don't believe you now watch the end of movies. Impossible! You are a woman. Women always go to sleep before the end of the movie, but, infuriatingly, want a say in the selection of a movie to watch - even though they'll sleep through it.<br /><br />I did the high protein/low carb eating regime. It is NOT a diet. I to can vouch for its efficacy. However, it had a slightly different result for me.<br /><br />High protein/low carb - losing wieght like mad, increased energy, and lifting weights like I'd never lifted before in the gym. However, I hit a ceiling because of torn tendons in my shoulders, so, after diagnosis, surgery, rehab, and 2 years later ... bloody high protein/low carb eating regime.John Coleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14634192254115557179noreply@blogger.com
