GL HF GG staRt! Sorry man but you dont have the metabolism of someone his weight you dont think that almost every overweight person in the world has tried just eating less? Often times this results in them succeeding for a short while and then having these big food cravings where they gain way more than they had lost. This I think is also what people warn about when they mention diets, or "gimmicky" diets But if you read a bit about paleo you know youre not supposed to do this for like a few weeks, lose a lot of weight and then go back to normal. It is supposed to be a change in life style, something that you will wanna keep doing all your life. And if you read Sheth's previous blog I believe he mentioned that as well. | ||

Elliptical provides a relatively similar exercise that is much lower in impact which is probably easier on your knees Regardless, good luck on your diet! edit: grammar I agree, ellipticals and stationary bicycling is a better choice than running/walking for the reasons mentioned above but also because they feel easier when you do them yet you're still burning more calories than walking. Also be careful about lifting weights because the thing about lifting when you're trying to lose weight is that your body wants to eat more because it needs more calories and nutrients from food to repair those muscles. | ||

As a rule of thumb, don't believe any nutritionist/dietician who is also hucking their own book series.

Feel free to link some scientific papers ( no meta studies ) that support your contention. I can link another 20 if you'd like. On March 24 2013 01:14 Uberfetus wrote: .

Look at the 300+ patient new england journal of medicine study I linked - cholesterol ratios AND triglyceride numbers came down the most from the group on low carb. tldr, your main point of contention has been scientifically debunked numerous times. | ||

I hope your still reading comments and containing the battle. I know it's a struggle, especially when something is stopping you from doing the things you love. I have some experience with wrist pain and would like to share my story. About October of last year I started to have wrist pains. It started as a annoyance, and then it got more painful. By November I was also having issues with my ulner nerve. (The inner elbow nerve when the palm is facing up.). I took a break from computers for about 2 weeks as I moved and made some changes. I figured 2 weeks off would be plenty of time to recover. I was greatly saddened when I started gaming again in January and had extreme elbow pain. Within 10 minutes of running the mouse I was in tears. Nerve pain is the worst as it doesn't directly relate to the location. Sometimes I felt it in my teeth, sometimes the left arm instead of the right, but at any rate, it was very painful and debilitating. After going to a doctor I was quickly diagnosed with 'carpel tunnel' syndrom. Fortunatly I did some research on my own and found a blog on TL about carpel tunnel as well. The blog recommended 2 books, so I picked them up for some reading material to help me deal with things. Sadly, I'm not very good at staying focused and reading books that don't have a story involved. I continued on the course the doctors recommended and went to 10 physical therapy visits. Stretching 20 minutes a day, 3-5 times a day, I noticed some improvement. I was able to start gaming again, but after an hour or two I still found myself in pain. I went back to the doctors and had an EMG done. It's basically a test where the shock the crap out of your nerves and record the response time. Needless to say, it wasn't a fun experience. The good news is the EMG didn't show any nerve damage. The bad news was that the doctors still had no idea what was going on. Fortunately I started reading again. I would highly recommend the book Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Clair Davies. For the first time since my injury (if you would call it that), I started getting answers. Not only did I get answers, but I also found solutions. The book basically advocates that there are various miofascial trigger points that form around muscles. Miofascial tissue is the thin layer of tissue that surrounds a muscle and holds it's shape. You can think of these trigger points as bound tissue, or knots. Similar to tieing 3 rubber bands together and stretching them, if you take the middle one and tie a giant knot in it, the 2 outer rubber bands are stretched farther to make up the difference. The middle rubber band has no problems, but the outer rubber bands are stretched farther and more likely to stretch out and break. In human terms, the trigger points relay pain to nearby muscles rather than the muscle that has the problem Most doctors overlook miofascial tissue issues because they are looking for a local reason that it happens, and the trigger points often cause pain in more remote areas. The book certainly isn't a quick fix, and by the time it's become a debilitating pain, there's usually more than one trigger point causing the issue. However, since I've started massaging and working out the various trigger points as shown in the book, I've been able to start gaming and spending long hours in front of the computer. It's still an up and down process. Often I find a trigger point that is bad and spend time working it out, then notice improvement and go back to gaming. Sadly, it's only removing one snag and it's not long until the next makes it's presence known. Most people report about 2-3 months of work until they are back on track, and those 2-3 months are frustrating because it's so easy to reach out and try to do what we enjoy. While there's nothing wrong with spending time on the computer, it's frustrating to be reminded of my limitations. I am happy to report that things are improving, and I am not considering surgery as an option. If the doctors haven't found direct nerve damage for you, I would suggest you give the book a read and try to use it as a stepping stone on your road to recovery. | ||
