Have you read the metabolic typing diet by William Wolcott or heard of Paul Chek? One man's food, may possibly be another man's poison.

I have gone through a similar journey. In January 2007 I woke up and realized I needed to lose weight, about 30 pounds or so. I started with a simple rule: Don't eat any "food" that comes in a box. I also started exercising a bit (walking, running). Lost about 10 pounds. Couldn't lose any more than that, though. Then I read Protein Power and found my key to eating and controlling my weight. Long story, short: Over the next 6 months of eating low carb and weight lifting I lost a total of 35 lbs of fat and gained 10 lbs of muscle. Very very cool. During that period I also read Good Calories, Bad Calories. Completely loved it. Totally sold on it; I'm a scientist by training so it spoke my language. I now eat, almost exclusively, eggs, bacon, nuts, cheese, leafy green vegetables, fish, and meats of all varieties. I also drink protein powder shakes in the morning before and after I lift. I'm not doing anything in "moderation" in any way. I eat four eggs and four pieces of bacon every morning after lifting for an hour. I eat as much fat and protein as I want during the day now that I'm not trying to lose weight --- and I haven't gained a bit of fat in the last year.

I wish you the best of luck in your explorations and experiments with your body. I have approached the process in the same way: see what works and keep doing that; once it stops working, investigate, modify, and try again.

Good luck.

I agree John. Moderation is the key which sometimes takes self discipline. But very well said. Recognise your limits and listen to your body.

I agree with John. I think moderation is key. I eat non-processed carbs (whole wheats, fruits..."the good stuff") and I try to eat them towards the eginning of the day. I feel you do need things like whole grains etc in your diet for full health benefits, it just depends on how you do it. I've never been a proponent of a diet that takes out full food groups or has you load up on others, it's not the way we were supposed to eat!

Thanks for sharing your experience John. I'm going to thoroughly research it and see what the data reveals.

I had good luck on Atkins but then I went completely off of it - I think if you take a moderate approach and recognize how you can limit carbs it makes a lot of sense.
