Re: [RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal met

[Jonathan D.]

I read EBDJ and the Big Far Surprise a few years back and it changed my 
approach to eating. I love EBDJ though I could argue about some ideas on the 
fringe. I did lose 20 lbs but then put some back when I stopped focusing on how 
I ate. It is going back down again. Here are my observations so far and I would 
also say, I think the New Atkins was another influential book I found after 
EBDJ. 

In the end losing weight is largely about calories in and calories out. However 
our modern diet provides so many empty calories his can be hard. Eating a low 
carb high fat diet helps control hunger and also provides more nutritious 
foods. Sugars should be eating in moderation or avoided. As should all refined 
foods. Eating high fat has not impacted my blood work negatively, at least my 
good cholesterol went up, as did my bad a little. 

I do think stretching is positive. I added mobility work into my morning 
routine and it has made a difference. I just do 10 minutes a day and an ankle 
injury spurred this on. It doesn’t need to be much  

High intensity, high weight exercise once or twice a week is a great base. I do 
kettlebells or deadlifts as my base and then try to stay active. My time is 
limited with kids so bike commuting is my other base. I also am trying to run 
again with an ankle that is coperating. I enjoy running and bacon. 

Try to be a decision making archetect, structure your food choices that you 
have easy access to to make good decisions. A new habit takes a while to build 
and start with small changes. 

I love that this forum covers these topics as well and I appreciate the book 
recommendations.

I imagine that if this book is just as well done as Just Ride it will be a lot 
more fun to read and it will cut to the chase on this type of eating subject 
matter way easier for me than me filtering thru reading 300 pg. books on the 
subject by Dr. so and so, etc. to get to the bottom of things on low carb, etc.

But Hi carb camp says lo carb causes diabetes and cancer. Low carb camp says hi 
carb causes diabetes and cancer.

I guess the thinv to do is try it and get bloodwork done each year to see which 
works better for you.

[Ash]

".. the moderation ship has sailed"

That's the exact sentence you have used it in the book.  

I'm not diabetic, but I know it is not too far if I were to continue my old 
food-style.   Every time I'm about to serve myself some rice at dinner 
table or consider bread slices/bagels/muffins at breakfast or that 'once is 
a blue moon' (sure!) desert, that sentence of wisdom pops into my head. 
 It's been incredibly helpful!

[Grant Petersen]

It's hard core low carb and has stuff about ketosis.
Probably not surprisingly and sometimes maybe maddeningly, in its
hardcoreness it gives tough scores to some of our favorite foods than, in a
softer core world, are considered healthy. But what is tolerable before
your pancreas is shot is unhealthy once you've had 30 or so years to weaken
(so to speak) your insulin. At that point you can't just wake up and say
OK, I'll have the bran muffin and orange juice.
I know I wrote it and therefore have zero credibility, but it is an easy to
read book that gets to the heart of things fast, then goes onto the next. I
think it would be hard to read and not get ANYTHING out of. Enough!

Re: [RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal met

[tc]

Love the Rippetoe book, his logic, and instruction.  10 years ago I started 
following his method to get back to basics (squat, dead, bench, standing 
military press).He's got some great technique and teaching videos on 
youtube.

Then I found the Jim Wendler 5-3-1 method about 6 years ago and really took 
off with strength gains.  With 5-3-1, you figure out your maxes, then plug 
them in to Wendler's formula to determine a month's worth of sets and reps 
for your routine.  Refigure your maxes every 3 months.  HIGHLY 
recommended.  No bulls* method that gives results and progression.

Then I (re)discovered kettlebell workouts, which I'm doing now.  Kbell 
workouts are intense and short ... just the ticket for burning fat and 
increasing strength.  

   - 4 sets of single-arm swings
   - 4 sets of turkish get-ups
   - 4 sets of presses (one arm at a time to also stress your core)
   - (my addition) 4 sets of single-arm dumbbell curls, strict

I rotate that workout 3x/week with a 2x/week core routine.

Rotate between any set of good methods and you'll get results.  Run 
endlessly on a treadmill for years on end and, well, you don't get anywhere 
:)

Tom, who still loves to throw heavy stuff around...

Re: [RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal met

[d2mini]

Yup, fully agree with all that! Or assume I will when I reach 61, i'm sure 
quicker than I thought. lol

This is the book i was referring to https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006XF5BTG

I also got this one because I decided to commit to his program for a year 
and this just makes it easier since it's a year's worth of programming and 
log book.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/1938895231
If you step back and look at it, it's not al that different from other 
beginner/intermediate programs like Starting Strength, Fierce Five, etc.

But yeah, I'd say this book (the first one above) was as much a help to me 
as Gary Taub's book (another Grant favorite) was about 8 years ago. That's 
the one that really got me started.

6% I couldn't do! 10 would be a more realistic goal. I'm about 11-12 now 
but said that's enough and starting my first lean bulk. An hour a day M-F 
first thing in the morning before anyone else is up is all I have time for. 
Kids!!! lol

I'll be coming out with my new series of ever increasingly expensive books

Re: [RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal met

[d2mini]

Yes, that's a great one and in my library as well. :) It's a great read and 
it's awesome as a reference book for learning the proper form for all the 
main compound moves.
Wouldn't want to be without it!

I like Mike's book because he takes the majority of Rip's views and 
technique on strength training and combines them with his own views on 
diet. His book contains a large bit of information on food and eating with 
scientific studies to back it up.
He even provides sample meal plans for cutting and bulking, for men and 
women, and at different body weights. He also talks about supplements in 
detail.
Rip is purely all about getting stronger. Whereas Mike is probably equally 
concerned with aesthetics... moderate muscle, low bodyfat % looking 
ripped.

[RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal met

I'm with you, OP... don't jog! Especially as we age. Best thing to do is 
get stronger and you don't get stronger with low intensity steady state 
cardio. You get stronger by lifting heavy things. And IMO, the stronger we 
are, not only do we look better, but recovery to injury is quicker, you are 
sick less, immune system is stronger, less overall aging problems. You may 
be skinny, but if you've got no muscle that's not doing you any good. 
Scrawny, weak and feeble. Being able to run 10 miles isn't going to help 
you when you are laid up in a hospital bed for weeks. And when you are 
lifting weights and getting stronger, there is no need to deny yourself of 
certain food groups if you don't want to. I was Paleo/low carb for the 
better part of a decade. Yeah, it worked and most of the time it was pretty 
easy, cause who doesn't like bacon!?... but it worked for one reason... it 
satiates you and makes it easier to eat in a caloric deficit. Same with 
Intermittent Fasting which I've also done. That 8 hour eating window just 
makes it easier to consume less calories. At the end of the day, that's all 
that matters... eat less. Don't be fooled by the self proclaimed youtube 
gurus that try to tell you that you are training your body to burn fat, 
your increasing fat burning hormones, bullet proof coffee, apple cider 
vinegar or other such nonsense. Every single one of those guys have one 
goal... make money. Modern day snake oil peddlers. Get on a solid weight 
lifting program and you can go back to eating it all. Within reason of 
course. I'll be 45 this summer and I finally got what I always wanted... a 
six pack! And i'm not talking about the beverage. ;) I've been where you 
guys are and I've learned a lot through it all. Only took me 10 years to 
weed through all the B.S. and figure it out. I now lift 4-5 days a week and 
track my calories/macros to make sure I'm getting the correct quantity and 
ratios and the results have been amazing. And the same advice goes for you 
ladies! No, you are not going to get "bulky". You are going to get strong, 
lean and fit. Win. And don't get me wrong, I'm not poo-pooing on low carb. 
You can still keep carbs relatively low if you'd like. The important thing 
is getting the minimum amount of Protein and Fat. Once you've done that you 
can fill the rest of your calories however you want. So eat your bacon and 
don't jog. Instead, eat your bacon and lift heavy things! :)

Since ya'll are recommending books, look up Bigger Leaner Stronger by Mike

I was so inspired by this thread that I bought the EBDJ book in March and did

Re: [RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal met

[Deacon Patrick]

Peter,

What Tim said. Also, keep in mind that riding up 15% grades is always more 
anaerobic than aerobic, though going slower can shift that back toward aerobic. 
The liver converts proteins to glycogen we need if we don’t eat carbs. But if 
you are eating in the “middle” of low carb, you aren’t ketogenic (and thus 
triggering liver production), yet aren’t getting enough glycogen through 
potatoes or rice etc. The key is to either be ketogenic (essentially zero 
carbs) or get 2-4 balled-up-fist sized amonts of carbs via potatoes, white 
rice, fruit, etc (a al “Perfect Health Diet”) so your body isn’t stuck in a 
“no-man’s land” when it comes to carb production/availability for the small 
amount of daily carb needed for proper body function.

Over time your body will get more effecient at aerobic function, even allowing 
you to have anaerobic effort along the way.

With abandon,
Patrick

Tim,

Thank you.  Crystal clear information.  My typical between-rides aerobic 
workout is the treadmill, and it will be very easy to incorporate your 
suggestions.  In fact, they are consistent with my own approach - intervals 
are the key to efficient and effective workouts - while giving me clearer 
direction.

It does help.

Peter

Re: [RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal met

[Tim Butterfield]

Peter,
What you discovered is that you can be aerobically strong and anaerobically
out of gas.  As long as you stay aerobic, you can continue to burn fat and
feel strong.  As you edge into and become fully anaerobic, such as when
climbing the steep hills, you need the glycogen stores to provide the
boost.  Living keto lets those stores shrink, which limits how much of the
harder efforts you can do.  A couple of ways to deal with this are:
1. Stay at the upper edge of your aerobic zone.  The longer you work at the
top of this zone, the more you will extend the upper range of this zone.
Thus, you can get faster while still burning fat.
2.  If you have an event and can predict you will be into the anaerobic
zone for a longer duration, you can carb load just for the single event.
This will provide the larger glycogen store needed while still letting you
burn fat while you are in the aerobic zone.  If you find you have used up
your glycogen stores as in your example, you can reload that as needed on
the go.  In your example, you could have had that banana, Clif bar, or
Gatorade to rebuild your glycogen store.   Caveat: This is not for
regular/daily usage/training.  Keep that keto, aerobic, and low duration
anaerobic/intervals.  It's how you build that aerobic zone.

Hope this helps.

Tim

Arriving late to this conversation.  I have also been "reasonably" low-carb 
for the past few years, but without a real plan.  A few weeks ago an old 
friend whom I respect recommended ketogenic, and I took the plunge.  

Results are good, similar to others, weight loss, smooth energy delivery, 
absolutely no problem skipping meals.

However.  Last Sunday I had coffee and cream for breakfast, packed a 
generous Ziploc with almonds, and left for a moderately challenging 
50-mile/4800 climbing feet ride.  My neighborhood has a steady supply of 
short, steep (15%+) climbs and descents, like one section of the ride that 
has 2200 feet of climbing in just 9 miles.  I have geared for those climbs, 
and my head has accepted them, and they are no big deal.  On this day, 
though, I bonked deeper than I have bonked in years.  Weird sensation to 
feel simultaneously strong and completely out of gas, if such a thing can 
be expressed.  I had nibbled on the almonds steadily, and I was mystified 
that I could never feel the flow of fuel that a banana or a Clif bar or 
even a Gatorade would have given me.

I hadn't had that feeling since I was in my twenties, regularly riding 100+ 
Colorado Front Range climbing days, and staggering into the house after 
riding, wanting to eat absolutely anything I could put my hands on right 
now.  

Anyhoo...  I obviously have a lot to learn, and it would seem that Bill has 
learned it.  Maybe Lara bars are a start.

Well sure . when I speak about eating what you like, I do so out of having 
lived on so many "trains of thinking" about what to eat and why and not, and 
what food supposedly causes what effect and effects what cause. Finding lasting 
peace-contentment with none of them there comes the point of "what's the point" 
, which is really a hunger of it's own that no food could satisfy. Not just in 
a greater sense, but in the very and oh so Present tense. "What about Here, and 
what about Now ?  if not Now, when?... if not Here, where? . an-other 
now and and here to-be ?" It's like a constant promises that everything will be 
alright that's a "wilĺ be-future tense". But not now, oh now ... now 
sucks... now has this laundry list of all that is out of place in my life, in 
the world, and the world of media/education/his-story/confession has all sorts 
of "evidence" to back it up like a self-justification for discontent and 
failure, and I just go along with like a sheep over a cliff because some "simon 
sez so". 

Well gee, the heart can only take so much not in the physical sense, but 
for lack of a better word spirit-soul. It's not something anyone has any 
control of either... it just happens and you are powerless to deny. It's like 
playing the part of a liar, living the lie  then along comes the absolute

I offer a sincere 'good luck' to anyone and everyone who wants to change 
something about themselves and puts in effort to try to make that happen.  
Similarly I offer a sincere 'nice job' to those who believe they have 
things nailed and decide to maintain their status quo.

[RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal met

[Austin]

So as a result of this thread,  (of which I've read every post) I've:

   1. Picked EBDJ every day since
   2. Reread the chapters that Grant called out
   3. Bought & tried Coconut Oil for the first time (in my coffee this 
   morning--it was good, I still added my heavy cream as normal)
   4. Nott fasted yet but will try it this week as a way to hopefully get 
   off the plateau and continue slimming down
   5. Learned much more about digestion, Diabetes (my 78yo dad has Type 2), 
   HDL/LDL, etc.
   6. Despite being low-carb, discovered a couple ways to easily cut back 
   further

Re: [RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal met

[Frank Conway]

Just finished Grant’s book.  Makes a lot of since, since I’ve cut out many 
carbs as of late.  I did, however eat lots of fruit and found it just made me 
more hungry so I cut most of that out and found it helped.  The book has given 
some new guidelines for me to try.  It seems to me that it’s more about what 
you don’t eat than what you do.  I’ve had the flu for the past 4 days - also a 
very effective way to lose weight but one I cannot recommend.

Forgot to add this:

*“Corn is Life”: Agriculture, Spiritual Life, and Economic Change among the
Hopi*
*by Peter Moore*
This case study of the Hopi corn culture in northeastern Arizona focuses on
how the commodification of corn and the decline of subsistence farming has
impacted the religious and cultural lives of the Hopi, how this impact
parallels certain trends in Christian civilization in the West, and how it
reflects a corresponding loss in the symbolic content of the sacred world
and the decline of the traditional worldview that characterizes the
“fallenness” of man.
My brother Peter wrote this a few years ago; published in issue 22 of *Sacred
Web.*

Riv content: corn > food > bikes > Rivendell. It is very true that the SW
Indians were lean and hard until quite recently -- last 30 or 40 years,
when Federal welfare and the encroachment of big box stores allowed them to
choose the easy, unhealthy diet of the b*ilagáana*. (No political or
cultural points of view were injured by this statement.)

Re: [RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal met

[Patrick Moore]

Well, that is very interesting and good to know (though I am sorry that
your family had those problems). I didn't know that. And I'm still not
convinced that the genetic exception is absence of susceptibility to
diabetes, etc., rather than susceptibility to these things. But I am (I
like to think) open minded.

And believe me, for the traditional Chinese (was married to one) and I
expect for the Japanese too, not to mention the Filipinos, it was a lot of
rice for a little sauce.

Regarding berri berri: I'm old enough to have had a father who came from
the old South, the Dorthea Lange south (tho' he came from an upper middle
class family and was hardly typical of his era and place): back then,
pelagra was epidemic, as so many of the poor -- a great part of the
population, black and white -- ate mostly non-nixtamalized corn meal. But
that's not the same as eating a great deal of corn or rice with sufficient
amounts of beans or soy or other complementary foods. The Zunis and Hopis
didn't have problems with berri berri or pelagra or, for that matter,
diabetes -- this last, not until they started buying, instead, 20 lb sacks
of cheap, bleached white flour for fry bread washed down with cases of
cheap, off-brand soda, as I've often seen them stocking up on in Gallup, NM
grocery stores.

At any rate, I eat a great deal of carbs, though not huge amounts of rice,
nor much processed carbs, and am pretty normal for weight and fitness for a
half-breed Filipino/Scots Irish/English 63-year-old; and then too, my
mother, as described -- not to mention the corn sacred (literally) to Hopis
and others, Peruvian potatoes, and so forth. OTOH, traditional Inuit and
Maasai diets ...

I (just this once, Garth) agree with Garth: everyone eat what he wants!

[RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal met

[Jim S.]

Alan Lavine,

I hadn 't been eating carbs, at least not very often, since I read Grant's 
book.

I am a bit over 5 11, and lost some weight when I first ditched the carbs, 
but was still running at about 180. Not awful, but fatter than I probably 
should be.

I only learned about the fasting thing in January. Now I'm down to 167.

If you already don't eat carbs, it is no big deal to move to fasting. The 
only obstacles are mental. Up until two months ago, I thought that being 
hungry was a physiological need. That is, I thought that if I didn't eat 
for a day, I'd keel over or something. But that doesn't happen. Hunger is 
psychological. If you just wait a few minutes or do something else, your 
hunger will go away.

Besides the notable weight-loss, there are other health benefits which I 
believe to exist, but which I am not sophisticated enough to type about 
intelligently There's a 1-hour program on Amazon Prime called "The Science 
of Fasting" that discusses them. The key term is autophagy. It appears that 
fasting might fight cancer.

Jason Fung, the author of the book I referenced above is a kidney doctor in 
Toronto, who is using fasting to cure type-2 diabetes.

It's funny - fasting is the opposite of much I'd ever heard about dieting - 
for example, eat 5 or 6 small meals a day. Ever heard that one? I think 
fasting is unpopular because there is no one to lobby for it. The food 
industry would oppose it. So would the pharmaceutical industry. Even most 
doctors wouldn't recommend it - imagine the advice, "Don't come and see me, 
don't take any drugs.  Just stop eating for a day or two every week. You'll 
feel better." That's not a money maker for anybody.

I'd say fasting may be a good thing once or twice a week, even if you have 
no weight to lose. It's just good to rest your disgestive system and other 
systems will kick in. Also, never eating carbs is kind of a bummer. But if 
you're a faster, on your feast days, have some cake and ice cream!

Also, fasting does lead to mental clarity - "hungry like the wolf." 

Re the cholesterol, I'm not even sure if high cholesterol, even the LDL 
kind, is even a health problem. This is yet another contentious health 
issue. But I'm sure fasting can't hurt. I think in the Jason Fung book 
references this issue.

Final point: If you mention fasting in public, it is highly polarizing. You 
might as well say you voted for Trump. So I'd say keep it to yourself if 
you try it.

[RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal met

[alan lavine]

Hello All,
Interesting thread!  I've been convinced about the benefits of low carbs 
for awhile now, even though compliance is spotty.
I'm very interested in the fasting aspect, and am reading the book 
mentioned in another post about it.  I would love to hear more about 
fasting  from real people doing it: how often, what regimen, how to fit it 
into social and family meals, etc.

I'm not diabetic or overweight. My personal interest is to lower my 
elevated LDL cholesterol.  I'm currently on 2 meds (not statins-can't 
tolerate) and really not having any side effects from them, but would love 
to eliminate them if possible.

Thanks,
Alan NYC-trying to skip breakfast today

[RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal met

[Grant @ Rivendell]

Hi everybody on both sides of the fence and sitting on it, too--
I wrote the book but am not trying to push it here. I wrote it because I 
don't LIKE to talk about diet stuff, so it was sort of my one-shot. I'm 
piping up here (violating "one shot"), but it won't be my usual long post. 
To keep it short means being direct, which doesn't always come off well, 
but I'll try for "short and soft," which doesn't sound all that good, 
either.

EBDJ synthesizes a lot of stuff in a few short, to-the-point chapters. 

The introduction is long, and in it I tell my own history with 
diet/exercise--which is bound to be different than yours in some ways, but 
if you're a typical somewhat ageing cyclist who is adding pounds over the 
years despite riding a fair among, you'll be able to relate.

The average "chapter" is about 300 words, and most adults read close to 
that per minute. If you aren't up to the whole book, read at least these 
five numbered entries,which total fewer than 1,700 words and will take you 
about 8 minutes if you dwell some:

83: It's about the architecture of digestive systems in the animal world 
(excludes the internationally known Venus fly trap!)
84: Specifically about human guts
85: What your guts are good and bad at.
91: Diabetes primer. How Type 2 diabetes creeps up on you. This may help 
your family accept a shift in diet.
92: kind of the ABC's of blood sugar testing...a good way to keep an eye on 
diabetes as it creeps up on you

Whether it's "paleo" or "keto" or "primal" or whatever, the shift is away 
from foods that jack up your blood sugar and make you fatter, 
diabetes-prone, and hungry all at the same time. The mainstream media, in 
addressing this while at the same time trying not to bum out its audience, 
tends to take a softer-core stance on carbs than I do (surprise!): Where 
they say, "try to cut back on refined carbohydrates and overly processed 
junk foods and sugary sodas," I have chapters titled, "All corn is candy 
corn," and "The Fruit Ruse," and "The Whole Grain Ruse."

Those titles alone will turn off many, but the message in them all is the 
same. It is to see past a food's commercial image, and see it in terms of 
its sugar load. 

At Rivendell, every birthday gets celebrated with the person's choice of 
restaurants, and we take out for all. The most popular one is Indian. I eat 
the red chicken, I pluck the cauliflower out of the (sp?) alu gobi, and I 
slurry it around in some of the thick lentil mush, which I love. I don't 
eat the nan. Others eat it all, some avoid the chicken. It's not as easy 
when the cook is unaware of your sugarphobia, but if you aren't already 
diabetic, or "pre-diabetic," a slice of cake won't kill you. Two might, but 
not one. Not right there at the table, at least. Ha!

Re: [RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal met

[Deacon Patrick]

Another concept to delve into is resistant starch. Potatoes or rice cooked, 
convert to mostly resistant starch, which doesn’t break down into an insulen 
cycle rush of simple sugars in the gut, but is digested by gut bugs into fatty 
acids. When I eat starch, I go for resistant starch. Also, think green banana 
(resistant starch) vs ripe banana (simple starch).

Additionally, traditional preparation of beans and starches (soaked/soured 
oats, for example) neutralizes the anti-nutrients in them. Corn, for example, 
nees to be combined with squash and (lime???) (traditional Anizazi foods) to 
neutralize the anti-nutrients. This is stuff Weston Price looked into a lot, 
across many cultures.

I forgot to add that, when my mother developed "type 2" diabetes at about
age 70, she effectively controlled it for 20+ years without any medication
with a strict diet composed of lots of vegetables, fish and styrofoam
chicken breasts, and regular and large helpings of white rice.

Maybe I completely misunderstand what you are saying, but just in case: Are
you saying that the traditional Indian diet (north or south) conduces to
diabetes? Having lived in India and Pakistan as a boy for a total of 10
years, I never, ever, *ever* heard that the traditional diet of rice or
chapatis, lentils, vegetables, dairy, spices, with a little meat or fish in
the event, was conducive to any chronic or degenerative disease; quite the
contrary, just as with the white rice + fish + vegetables + coconut oil +
fruit diet of my Filipino ancestors.

The Japanese, notorious, nay, infamous eaters of great quantities of
polished white rice, have been long noted for *not *having heart disease,
diabetes, etc, and they are all outliving their social systems!

Of course, there is carb and there is carb; white rice, whole wheat flour,
beer, versus the cookie aisle in the grocery store and all the horrible
corn syrup and sugar the factories add to artificial foods to make them
palatable.

This is indeed a serious problem.  Unless rest of the family also has 
similar health/weight goals/awareness and their idea of what's healthy diet 
is same as (at least similar to) yours and .. and ...   One should consider 
him/herself extremely lucky if those all stars are aligned.

All sorts of science, a lot of it longevity studies of native cultures over 
thousands of years and then colliding with the standard American Diet and the 
resulting rise of modern illnesses previously unheard of.

See: https://www.westonaprice.org
See: 
https://www.amazon.com/Perfect-Health-Diet-Regain-Weight/dp/1451699158/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8=1520697991=8-3=perfect+health+diet

And doesn’t Grant give resources in the back of EBDJ? (I got it from the 
library, so don’t have it to check).

[RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal met

[DaveS]

Lum-speaking solely for myself, and I am not a doctor, variety remains the 
spice of life. I used low carb/ sugar and most importantly portion control to 
lose the weight. I still stay low carb for most meals but I do not deny myself 
anything in moderation and infrequently. For instance I quit drinking beer like 
I used to, instead of 10 or so a week I have one when I want one, not because I 
am socially being pushed to drink. Same w a coke, instead of daily it’s 
infrequent but tastes so good! Same w food, it is about choice and frequency 
and dietary changes. According to the nutritionist that got me straightened out 
I was eating 6000 to 8000 calories a day on a typical day and am now under 3000 
most days by making different choices and retraining, it does get sorted out 
over time and you get into the groove,

Freshly baked bread that smells like when your mother used to make it. Or 
home-made doughnuts, sprinkled with icing sugar, or natural honey that 
smells like the flowers that the bees made it from. Is a nice cold beer on 
a hot summer’s day a source of carbs? I know a coke poured over ice when 
you are really thirsty would be. 


Even something like an apple picked from a tree, or a bowl of corn flakes 
sprinkled with white sugar (do you like to put the sugar on before, or 
after the milk? Quiet!) , a slice of blueberry pie with vanilla ice cream, 
a boiled potato with a little salt and butter, a freshly made crepe with 
whipped cream in France, a heaping plate of fragrant basmati rice—and let’s 
not even mention a cup of hot chocolate on a cold winter’s day.

.

Steamed carrots, again with butter, roasted sweet potato, fried plantains, 
chewing on a stalk of sugar cane that you chopped down with a machete, a 
pastry in a café in Vienna, chicken paprikash, chocolate birthday cake with 
icing, I almost forgot a juicy ripe peach at that special time of year, a 
toasted tomato sandwich with salt and pepper and mayonnaise…

I've seen none, but, with the health benefits that are measurable by 
typical "annual physical" measurements, and by how you feel, I'd say this 
is pretty safe from a purely common sense point of view.  But  -- what I 
have to remember is that, with all of the proteins and fats you're 
ingesting, don't forget to take care of your intestinal system, if you know 
what I mean.  If figure it would be a shame to achieve the heart health of 
a 20 year old but die of colon cancer...

Any studies about longterm effects of an EBDJ diet?

So much conflicting theories out there. So confusing, which is what usually 
makes me hesitate to try a diet shift.

Does anyone really know what these diets do to use long term?

Coconut oil in coffee is a fall back food for us. Coffee and cream were made 
for each other. My “breakfast” (in quotes, because it doesn’t break my fast as 
far as carbs are concerned, so technically still IF) is a cup of homemade bone 
broth and a cup of coffee and cream.

[Evan E.]

Count me as another happy beneficiary of the EBDJ regimen. My HDL 
cholesterol is now higher (that's a good thing) because of it. 

If you're reading this and you somehow haven't already tried the EBDJ plan, 
note two things:

1. "Paleo flu" is a thing. Know that for five, or ten, or twenty days after 
you go low-carb, you may well feel sluggish, irritable, headachy. Stay the 
course. It gets better.

2. In addition to coconut oil being awesome, coconut butter 

 
is pretty great, too. It's pureed coconut meat, so it's not as oily as oil, 
but it still contains plenty of oil and fat and calories. I find the butter 
much easier to eat from a spoon than coconut oil. But the butter doesn't 
melt easily into coffee, so you'll want oil for that. Add some grass-fed 
butter to your coffee, too. Tastes good. People will think it's even more 
disgusting than oil, alone, in your coffee.

Lum,

I unfortunately eat about 80% of my meals away from home. I say this to say 
it is the easiest way of eating I have found to eat at every place I go. I 
also can order directly off the menu most places without having to be "that 
customer". I regularly eat Indian food, and can navigate it pretty well. No 
rice, and looking for cream based sauces. Hope this helps.

Lum-speaking only for myself here. If I overdo and go out  of ketosis I dry out 
from the meal and put myself back in within a few days. I have tried cheat days 
throwing in burgers fries coke for lunch once a week, without any weirdness to 
my glucose readings which is one of those data points that I check to see how I 
am reacting to food . I have found that I process foods better eating smaller 
more vegan portions w clean proteins, but the weight loss is likely more 
responsible for that kick start w good choice not diet keeping it going. There 
was an I tersting article about this in Tuesday’s NYTimes science section

Just finished a HS wrestling season (as a parent).  Parents within the 
region (in this case, one-fourth of Texas) get to know each other pretty 
well from Thanksgiving to the end of February.  Wrestler's diet is all 
about controlling weight to make weight, daily burning calories to keep in 
shape, and being able to short-term burn enough calories to perform.  Over 
the season, you chat with some very lean parents who've been sharing the 
table with their wrestlers.

If you EBDJ can you still do an Indian food buffet once a week without 
reversing the EBDJ effectiveness?
Serious question.

Will you be able to Eat regularly with your family without alienating anyone? 
Serious question.

Really encouraging Dave! When we visited Rivendell World Headquarters last 
fall, Grant mentioned his crazy diet. I didn't think much about it until 
about a week later when I was home and dreading the holidays for weight 
gain reasons. I looked up EBDJ, read it cover to cover, and dipped my toe 
in the water. I have been happy with the life change, and have to resist 
selling it to others as a miracle drug. I am glad to see it has worked for 
so many long term!

First Bill congrats. Second thank you for pointing me to the Sam for my go fast 
build, it’s in its way

I took the paleo/EBDJ to heart a little over a year ago. I was type 2 diabetic 
w A1C of almost 9. Did t even know I was a mess. Cholesterol of 234.  Went off 
carbs sugar processed food and junk cold turkey. Over the first month the 
numbers dropped from 234 to 135, A1C to below 5, BP was normal wo meds. Total 
weight loss is about 160 pounds to date, a year later. I resisted the scale but 
needed to realize how fat I was, and use it to monitor status but Deacon speaks 
some truth, I now use body feel and clothes to keep moving. I went from a 54 
pant to a 46, 3xl to 1xl, but I know when I have overdone it by energy, 
lethargy and “feel” now. I am dead when I binge on carbs, pizza bread etc and a 
year later just can’t tolerate the bloating. It comes w time and, like any drug 
is eventually beatable, you flip, get back up, work out harder, dry out and 
move forward.

Coconut oil is magical stuff, taken internally via cooking oil, or just 
eating plain, or with other food/drink as Bill points out. Externally it's 
used for everything from anti-viral applications, to lotion, to lube.

There are 2 types you can get at the grocery store (that I know about, 
anyway):  Refined and Unrefined.  Refined has a higher smoke and burn 
point, so that's good for cooking.  Refined does not really have a coconut 
taste.  Unrefined does have the coconut taste that some prefer, but should 
not be used for cooking unless on very low heat.  I don't know if there are 
any differences nutritionally.

I tried a rounded teaspoon of refined coconut oil in my black coffee 
yesterday afternoon after reading Bill's post.  Other than a tiny "oil 
slick", there was no indication I had anything in there.  No added taste 
whatsoever...but it was strong coffee made in a one-cup french press, so it 
coulda gotten overpowered.  I'm sure my internals appreciated it.  I like 
the taste of coconut, so I'll try some unrefined in my coffee today.

Our local Bruegger's Bagels makes coconut coffee, and they always run out 
of it before I get in there, so there must be something to it.   Great 
idea, Bill!

[Jay Connolly]

I've had weight battles my entire life. Some years ago, I was close to 400 
pounds. I dropped to 250 a dozen years ago, but I have always struggled 
with yo-yoing. EBDJ was the first "system" that made it easy to maintain my 
weight. 

There are endless books about all this, but one I have found particularly 
useful is The Real Meal Revolution by Tim Noakes and Jonah Proudfoot. 
Noakes is a national-level coach from South Africa. He contends fat burners 
don't need to fuel obsessively during endurance events. Proudfoot is a chef 
who provides some incredible recipes, including one for seed crackers that 
provide all the crunch anyone would ever need.

[RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal met

[Mattt]

I forgot to note.  People ask me how I lost weight.   I tell them I eat high 
fatty low carb foods and ride a bike once a week for two hours.  They look at 
me like I AM from Mars. I think they are expecting me to work out everyday for 
hours and hours.  I explain ketosis and what is involved in Keto and it then 
makes sense.  

Also, if someone reading this wants to try it the biggest help is you may have 
to suffer a few days until you go into ketosis.  You also need to plan your 
meals so you don’t fall off the wagon by grabbing whatever because you are not 
prepared. Finally, it takes mental willpower for a while to get over the sugar 
carb cravings. It is all in your head.

[RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal met

[Mattt]

Bill,

Thanks for posting.  I was going to post about being on the EBDJ or Keto or 
low carb diet and might as well piggyback on yours.  

January 2017, I was at 223 pounds after Thanksgiving and Christmas.  I read 
EBDJ and followed it strict for one year and lost 40 pounds.  I am now 185 
pounds.  I am back to the weight I was for most of my adult life.  People 
tell me I am loosing too much weight and my response is I am back to what I 
should be.   I have plateaued between 183 and 187 and this is where I want 
to me.  

I found my body was made for a low carb diet.  I eat lots of eggs and 
cheese.  I don't miss the breads and don't get cravings for them.  I never 
realized how my body felt with the carbs and until I reduced them and went 
into ketosis.  The best part is I am rarely hungry and no more gas.  

Once and a while I will have ice cream with the kids.  Besides this I plan 
sticking with this lifestyle.  I don't call it a diet because it sounds 
like something I am trying for awhile.

Haha, I am doing the same thing!  Low carb ( < 21grams net carbs/day ) and 
70% of calories from fat.  So congratulations on your success, Bill.  I 
have been struggling with a plateau, as well.  And I just had a 'cheat 
weekend' with some pizza and wine.  But I'm back on the wagon now, and your 
success is most encouraging.  Thanks for sharing.

[RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal met

[Bill Lindsay]

Scott asked about getting way under the hood, counting my food as well as 
my blood.  

No, I have not gone to that detail.  The food counting stuff sounds like 
something that would strike me as burdensome.  Ironically, when I wanted a 
cheap small gram-scale for weighing bike parts, I compared ones targeted at 
foods vs ones targeted at coffee snobs.  I never use a gram scale for food 
or coffee, but I have a gram-scale at arm's reach for bike parts.  :)  
Regarding portioning and self-rewarding, I do know what you mean.  I'm 
trying to be more mindful of the difference between "hunger" and "appetite" 
and "temptation".  Like right now, I'm at my desk, and I can feel that my 
gut is 'not-full'.  That feeling of an empty gut might have told me to eat 
lunch, but that feeling is not 'hunger'.  I'm not feeling low-energy, or 
undernourished, or anything like that.  The feeling is what I would call 
"appetite", like I feel like I could eat, but don't need to.  So, I'll 
probably go 2 or 3 more hours before I take my lunch break.  I never 
self-reward with ice cream or desserts anymore.  My HUGE stress-adder is 
driving.  If I have to drive for work related activities I tend to 
self-reward with pastry.  The other self-reward I use sometimes is whisky.  
Another reward-replacement is that I never eat chips, but I do eat pork 
rinds (and nuts).

I get blood work done during my annual physical, but I never remember what 
those numbers are.  I do remember that my mom was relieved that my numbers 
resemble hers, rather than resembling my late father's numbers.

Hi Bill,
Did you use a certain app on your phone to count carb grams?  I am a 
numbers guy as well.  However, it may be better to focus on leading 
indicators as opposed to just lagging.  I also bought a cheep blood sugar 
monitor and was taking my blood sugar every morning (after waiting 30 
minutes).  Another leading indicator.

My experience with EBDJ has been a big deal.  The biggest change was to my 
cholesterol.  It is still generally high, but my HDL's have gone way up and 
triglycerides and fasting blood sugar have gone WAY down.  I don't have the 
numbers quickly available to me or I would share them.

I lost 15 lbs when I first when on the diet, but then gained it all back.  
My job has  been relentlessly stressful over the past year and a half and I 
believe that is a contributing factor.  I have a bad habit of rewarding 
myself with food when life gets tough like I am some kind of dog.  March 
came in like a lion, but soon I will be commuting to work by bike most days 
which helps burn off some Cortisol.

Thank you for sharing.

Scott

Congrats, Bill.  You done good :)  As someone who's been active in sports 
and exercised for pretty much my whole life, I can attest to the fact that 
"more exercise" isn't always enough, as doc's and mag's might have us 
believe.  What you put in the tank is critical, just as the type of 
exercise is.  As we age, exercising with a high degree of intensity becomes 
even more important (e.g., heavier weights, bursts of high power output, 
putting significant load on our muscles and bones, include interval 
training, etc. ... as opposed to an hour lightly jogging on a treadmill).

The ideas in EBDJ are very similar to those described in Tim Ferriss' book 
"the 4 Hour Body".  After reading it I dropped 8 lbs in a week by cutting 
out sugar, bread, and dialing up the protein and healthy fats.  Well, I did 
eat a lot of bacon too!  It was not easy.  But Ferris advocates for 1 
"reset" day per week in which you each as much of anything as you want.  He 
claims there is scientific proof for the reset day being important 
chemically.  It sure helped me emotionally :)  Anyway, cholesterol remains 
good, though I personally think luck plays part of a hand in that given the 
genes you're dealt, along with diet.

[RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal met

[Bill Lindsay]

I kind of went through a couple plateau things.  I worked up towards that 
200k brevet, and that night, immediately after finishing the 200k, my wife 
and kids took me out to birthday dinner, and I feasted.  The next day, my 
wife hosted a lobster party for a bunch of our friends, and I feasted again 
on lobster rolls and had my share of beers as well.  Those two days were 
definite cheat days, around Feb 10, and I had some catching up to do.  That 
catch up period up until now went pretty rapidly, and so I almost want to 
maintain at 160 and try to move my body composition around a little bit. I 
have access to two scales, which both report my weight within a pound or 
two from each other, but they are WAY different from each other in body fat 
% calculations.  The office scale says I'm around 28% and the one at home 
says I'm around 15%.  I believe the 15% number more.  Anyway, on that scale 
I want to work on maintaining 160 and dropping my body fat %.  If I could 
get to 12%, that would be pretty good.

Bill, this is super-inspiring! I picked up EBDJ over the holidays and have 
been reasonably low-carb since New Year's Eve. I'm down about 11 lbs and 
want to drop another 10 or so. to settle in around 190 (I'm 6'3"). 
Weight-loss aside, it just works for me--no hunger pangs, no ups n' downs 
with sugar, no effort to fight off snacks and treats, and feel better all 
around.

Question: I've plateaued on weight the last few weeks. Did you experience 
this? Do you subscribe to the "cheat day" 1x per week to allow carbs as 
some on the internet suggest?

YES!  Intermittent fasting has been the result of breaking that "eat when 
you're bored" thing.  A couple times a week I'll skip dinner entirely, and 
I wake up the next morning feeling fine.  I have a strong urge for coffee 
in the morning, and I'll eat breakfast because it seems like a good idea to 
eat some breakfast.  A 12 hour fast is quite easy.  18-20 hours is not a 
big deal either.

Nice work Bill!  Keep it up!  The story is quite inspiring.  Thanks for 
sharing.

I have read many books on this subject.  While I understood and bought into 
the theories, none of them quite caused me to make lifestyle changes that 
were necessary to get in better shape. I'm 5'10", medium frame.  For 
several years stayed in 160-168lb range.  Always wanted to get down to 
145-150 zone.  After reading EBDJ last summer, for the first time I went 
below 160.  Hovering around 155 these days.  I think it is the style in 
which Grant has explained certain key points  that has made my new habits 
stick.  Being a vegetarian, no bacon for me.  But staying low on carbs and 
switching to HIT style workouts have helped me a great deal.  Feels like 
I'm on track to dip below 150lb in next 3-4 months.

[RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal met

[Jim S.]

I love this topic - for me, EBDJ was revelatory, to say the least.

Then in January I found this:

If you're already an EBDJ fat burner, and want to take the next step, it's 
not all that hard to just take a couple of days a week and not eat at all. 

It sounds crazy, and miserable, but it isn't. I'm convinced that this is 
what our bodies are supposed to be doing.

At any rate, I recommend at least reading some of the book before rejecting 
fasting out of hand. It's really interesting.

Bill:

Thanks for sharing your experience.  It's always good to hear a success 
story, and that's quite a good one.

[RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal met

[William R.]

Good to hear Bill, and very inspirational. I often wonder why EBDJ doesn't 
come up here more often. I'm sure most of us have read it, or at least are 
aware of it. However, I am also aware of how incendiary the subject can be, 
its definitely personal for many. With that said... Personally I've 
struggled with it. It is something that is almost constantly on my mind and 
something that I would very much like to be successful with. I'm heavier 
than I should be for sure and I yearn to live the healthier lifestyle that 
EBDJ promotes. Yet, I keep failing and falling off and gaining what I've 
lost back. And I bought and read the book right when it came out! How many 
years has it been? I was also reading a lot of the stuff that Grant was 
talking about before EBDJ came out like Gary Taubes' books. So I've been 
trying and failing for some time now. I don't know... there's a switch in 
my head that needs to be duct taped off or permanently removed! I keep 
trying though and what you have written here helps. Good on ya.
