What's interesting to me is that
I'm already doing those 12 steps. Ok - so I haven't done the 'interval' training yet, but it's on my to do list to learn how. I found Mark Sisson's discussion of 'chronic cardio' useful in this regard, and didn't get into too much of that hamster-type stuff. Also, the meat I buy isn't always the grass-fed kind. ($$$)
Everything else is pretty much exactly what I'm doing.
I'll have to read around his site some more, I'm interested in his views on vegetables. I eat berries (in season) once in awhile, and that's pretty much it for fruit.
Meanwhile - I thought Jenny's blog post was pretty good. There are some things in there that ought to be considered and it's useful and valuable information. She's right that calories do count, she's right that lots of people stall out at some point, and need to re-adjust their plans, and she has a valid point about the thyroid issue.
I had never heard of 'fat induced insulin resistance' though. That's a new one on me.
Speaking of which, I noticed something - I think weight training has helped in this 'insulin resistance' dept. Or, is it possible that when you lose weight, you're not as insulin resistant? I dunno - no scientist here. Is it possible that low-carbing heals things to the point where you're not as insulin resistant as you were when you started out?
