http://www.nature.com/nm/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nm.3145.html I don't have access to the full article, so I can't confirm my suspicion that this is just more correlation = causation crap, but a claim in the abstract caught my attention: "We demonstrate here that metabolism by intestinal microbiota of dietary l-carnitine, a trimethylamine abundant in red meat, also produces TMAO and accelerates atherosclerosis in mice." This seems to suggest that they have a mechanism pinned down by which TMAO accelerates atherosclerosis. Is anyone else familiar with this or other similar studies who can speak to its validity? | ||

also rofl at my diet today: 4 eggs and 3 pc bacon and milk (probably ~50g protein) double meat (pork and beef) burrito bowl (rice, lettuce, salsa, beans) (probably ~60-80g protein) 2 whole chicken breasts (another 80g protein) 1 whey 1 casein protein shake (we got a bunch of free samples for rugby woot) (another 60g protein) ...I think that puts me at over 250g protein, and probably under 100g fat and carbs each. didn't even workout today. dat cut. | ||

It doesnt matter if its meat or veggies right? ill try the fruit. i dunno, i just had the idea that some things make you feel warmer and soem cooler. like eating hot/spicy food definitely makes me warmer, so it's something i avoid if i want to cool off. hot tea and hot soups as well. so i figured people might have some ideas for things that cool (or at least, increae your body temp the least). decafchicken i'm actually in arlington, so not too far from annandale where all the good korean bbq places are! i just workout in my apartment's gym, since i've already paid for it and i don't want to spend more money on a real gym right now. it doesn't have a barbell, so all the exercises i'm doing are dumbbell and bodyweight stuff. | ||

Things that make you run hotter are called thermogenics and usually marketed by supplement companies to lose weight. Most of the good ones are either banned or just contain caffeine or something. A cup of coffee always warms me up. As for cooling down i think your body actually spends more energy consuming cold things than warm (source needed). Not sure if there's anything you can eat that lowers your body temp. edit: I was going to eat complete clean today guys. Really i was. I even brought a protein shake to work for a snack. Of course someone comes back with free chicago pizza and leaves it sitting 5 feet from me T_T I caved and had a tiny slice. fml. TOMORROW IS THE DAY | ||

TOMORROW IS THE DAY Ice cream = lower body temp? lol No need to stress out over eating a slice of pizza imo. As long as you're eating mostly clean, you're getting most of the benefits. I realized that eating pretty clean makes me lose weight really fast. Even though I had instant noodles almost every day, I still dropped 4-5lbs in a couple of weeks. | ||

The main sources of fat I have are eggs, coconut oil, and coconut milk. And I remember one time when I consumed too much saturated fat (1 can of coconut milk) that the next day I felt a slight burn around my heart area, which scared the shit out of me (I pretty much didn't have anything other than saturated fat and lots of protein because they were just so filling for the entire day). | ||

I (loosely  ) follow Leangains, it just means that instead of slamming down asstons of carbs on rest days, you cut back on carbs and then you work in some fatter types of foods, eggs are great, they're a rest day staple for me | ||

The quality of foods approach is focused on eliminating caloric dense foods with little nutritional value and replacing them with calorically sparse foods with high nutritional value. For example, a quality of foods approach would focus on eliminating all junk foods and drinks -- juices, sodas, sports drinks, chips, cookies, donuts, candies, etc. -- and replace them with nutrient rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, meat, birds, fish, eggs, etc. which also have considerably more nutrients than the former. Basically, the rule is to eliminate processed foods and replace them with real foods. This is my preferred approach because of a couple of key reasons. First, you can eat 'til you're full. Satiety is a big reason why we eat, and people don't like to be hungry. Since we are eating less calorically dense foods, we can eat 'til we are full and still lose weight. Second, we are getting more nutrients and thus improving our health. Sorry if that was commented already, but I wanted to say that this is a myth. Eggs on beacon is a calorie dense food, but it is great for weight loss, satiety isn't regulated by the volume of food that you are eating, but by its effects on hormone production. If you would try to eat only fat (keto fast on coconut oil) you will find it hard to eat more then 600kcal a day despite eating the most calorie dense food that there is. | ||

(you didn't highlight the last part and therefore took it out of context). eggs and bacon for example don't fall into that catogerie, he even specifically names meat and eggs later as good/quality food. | ||
