I...I'm a little concerned about that food pyramid. It puts high-fat foods adjacent to fruit near the top of the pyramid and high-protein foods as the staples on the bottom of the pyramid.<BR/><BR/>Personally, as I've become more physically active, I've had to increase the amount of fat in my diet to avoid soreness in my kidneys as well as draining lethargy. Now, I'm eating about 70% of calories from fat (plenty of natural saturated fats in there from bovine, coconut, and palm sources) and my athletic endurance is back, my cholesterol blood numbers are better than ever, and that annoying lethargy is a thing of the past.<BR/><BR/>If my experience (and the experience of low-carb marathoners and triatheletes) is any indication, fats will eventually return triumphant as the superior caloric foundation for the active human body.Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04542429248250354121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-31931702045806251682008-04-07T20:54:00.000-04:002008-04-07T20:54:00.000-04:00spider,I run a sugar free snacks review site at gl...spider,<BR/><BR/>I run a sugar free snacks review site at <A HREF="http://www.glucoholic.com" REL="nofollow">glucoholic.com</A> that might be of some help to you.

I eat like a king and feel great. The gallon bags make for a great no mess in my hands or lap kind of eating. The eggs I put in there own gallon zip lock and then I crack them in the bag and the peeling rolls off easily. I then dip them in the third zip lock with seasoning in it. This is not just good eating, this is great eating and trouble free and easy to make. I don't need eating utensils either. Just eat them right out of the bag while using the bag to keep the grease off from my hands. It's really easy to regulate when I want the frozen steaks to be thawed and ready to eat. I have done a lot of office work and this eating method works anywhere under any conditions. All my fellow workers and bosses see is me eating really healthy, delicious food and plenty of it. I often work from five in the morning until ten o'clock at night having eaten all three meals this way and usually six to ten weeks at a time, seven days a week in the spring and fall. There is no valuable time lost cooking and preparing either. I just grab my pre prepared zip locks and gallon of water and go. This is the greatest thing since the wheel. Delicious and sedating. I have to feel well in order to perform this much work properly. I feel great. Cold food eating is great.Tom Bunnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11840576840382147883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-11841406137601332982008-04-07T18:52:00.000-04:002008-04-07T18:52:00.000-04:00To spider63...When I worked in an office, I took a...To spider63...<BR/><BR/>When I worked in an office, I took a small cooler bag with (at various times, NOT all at the same time!) string cheese or cubes of cheese; deli meat rollups where you take a slice of deli meat, spread with cream cheese and put small gherkins or maybe olives down the middle and roll them up; small 1 oz bags of peanuts or other nuts (from Costco); pork rinds and guacamole or a cream cheese spread; celery spread with peanut butter or pimento cheese or another cream cheese spread; raw broccoli and cauliflower with low carb ranch or blue cheese dressing to dip in; fixings for a protein shake that could be put together and shaken at my desk; hard-boiled eggs; leftover meat from dinner the night before; hamburger patties cooked ahead and spread with mayo and mustard in the middle. Honestly, I think it's very easy to find low-carb snacks to take! Just count the carbs ahead of time and work them into your daily carb allowance. <BR/><BR/>CarolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-12878989273718916202008-04-07T13:06:00.000-04:002008-04-07T13:06:00.000-04:00Hi spider63.

There are all sorts of great "lunch bags" these days which have various methods for keeping things cool if you don't have access to a fridge where you work.<BR/><BR/>If you don't object to artificial sweeteners (such as Sucralose, stevia, or sugar alcohols) you can buy low-carb, hi-fat, hi-protein bars which keep anywhere. You do have to check the labels very carefully.<BR/><BR/>There are lots of excellent low-carb cookbooks that should give you lots of ideas.Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080767128939690601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-34349148563068510852008-04-07T12:28:00.000-04:002008-04-07T12:28:00.000-04:00In answer to spider63: How about pork rinds or Sli...In answer to spider63: How about pork rinds or Slim Jims as a snack? Low carb nuts will do in a pinch like macademia or walnuts or almonds if your not a zero carb low carber.JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13851835920775477108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-66751036762755123752008-04-07T12:07:00.000-04:002008-04-07T12:07:00.000-04:00THANKS Peter!

Go to a vegetarian restaurant, and almost all the people who eat there are skinny. Look up studies of vegetarians and body mass index, and same thing: vegetarians are skinny (not all of them, of course, but on average they are way skinnier than omnivores.) Why do you think that is?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-65942856921341338382008-04-07T01:53:00.000-04:002008-04-07T01:53:00.000-04:00OK.

I am desperate but I have tried low-carb before and it is very hard to find low-carb snacks that I can take to work. I cannot just bring a bag of ham with me and have it by the computer. I am going to check your site more to see if you have any ideas that can help me out.Moby Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17921345586805781063noreply@blogger.com
