I used to use LoseIT religiously to track things when I was watching calories... later I used it to track the macros (protein, carbs, & fats). But having gone to eating only whole or raw organic foods and adopting a mostly primal/paleo eating lifestyle, I no longer need to log my food. I know how to eat now to pick…

Last I checked... we already have these kewl things you can swallow (sports and military use them) that report back body temperature, heart rate, etc... all wirelessly and all the size of a large pill. Seems he could've used better and smaller technology to do the same thing...

Damnit!!! I rolled over in my sleep again and now I'm not 100% charged...

Check out marksdailyapple.com and consider the lower carb, paleo/primal options. Oats are a grain and like all grains have natural toxins in them that should be avoided or at least handled through proper soaking. The instant oatmeal is total crap, especially if flavored/sweetened. Apples are known to cause gas in many…

Two things to point out... 1) its *better* (depending on the research you read) to exercise on a fasted stomach. So say your last meal was 6pm the night before... if you exercise at 6am you'll be in a 12 hour *fasted* state which primes your body for burning more fat versus just carbs... 2) high-quality carbs are…

Funny you say that 'cause depending on what you read, some research is showing that dietary cholesterol (ie: what you consume) has little affect on the cholesterol in your blood stream... same for fat... eat fat doesn't make you fat, though eating too many carbs and bad fats that add up to excessive calories will make…

It seems like the more I read, the more common sense points to eating whole or raw, unprocessed foods. In other words: meat (unless you're a vegetarian or vegan), vegetables and fruit... and if you're going to eat grains, go for the sprouted, whole grain or simple options like oats. It seems prevailing wisdom is…

If you live near Krispy Kreme corporate headquarters like I do, you get free donuts once a year. Actually, they have free donuts 24x7 in the lobby of the building they share with BofA, so if you go to the bank and skip the drive-thru you can get a free donut most any day. But *officially* speaking, Krispy Kreme does…

As a long time fan of going to Disneyland (annual pass from 1994-2007) and Disneyworld (annual pass from 2008 to present)... and my wife being an ex-cast member inside that parks and at Disney corporate... I can 100% assure you that the previous comment about getting in for free on your birthday is WRONG. Its not even…

Being near Krispy Kreme's headquarters... we get a free donut day once a year. Also, Tropical Smoothie has a free smoothie if you wear flip flops thing once or twice a year. If you're a Starbucks Gold Card holder, you get a free anything on your birthday and usually other free things throughout the year (recently got…

Food manufacturer's do this all the time. I recently bought a pack of organic chicken that said "free of added hormones*" but at the bottom the * said basically "The FDA doesn't allow for the use of hormones in poultry or cattle". In other words... they didn't keep the hormones out to give you a better product, they…

Thank you. I won't be mocking your's either. :) There are plenty of places for both disagreement and debate, but I find forums and comments section to be a bad place for debates anyway (and trust me... I'm not looking for one)

Well, if you want some real irony... I'm one of those Bible believing Creationist Christians that everyone likes to mock. I don't believe there was a cro-magnam man or a paleo ancestor or that we evolved from monkeys. I believe we were created in full human form as Adam & Eve and then repopulated post-flood through…

I pretty much second that. I actually stumbled upon primal/paleo. I realized I was a fat desk jockey... so first thing was to record foods and count calories, then go from 1-2 big meals a day to 3 and reduce calories... then added in walking... eventually started some cardio and running... then added in some…

Generally speaking you could say yes, but there are some subtle differences between Paleo and Primal. They share like 95% in common...

Primal baby!!! You get to enjoy all the flavorful fat with your meat and all the fruit & veggies you can ask for. I just don't eat anything that has or comes from grains or sugar that isn't from a whole, unprocessed food (ie: fruit and some veggies). But I also eat primarly 6 times a day and only eat like this 80-90%…

Yes, built-in = factory installed in my case...

I personally chose an iPad Mini only because I previously had a 2nd gen iPad and has lots of iPad apps. I also have an iPhone so I'm financially in bed with the Apple ecosystem. That said, while I can do most of what this car computer does with my iPad, its tablets in general that can do this. I'm sure a Nexus 7 would…

Well, not really. In my case I was planning to get an iPad Mini anyway and was planning to get it with 3g/LTE and pay for a data plan. So, I was already planning to pay the $10 a month for it on my shared plan anyway. The fact that AT&T opted to give me $100 off the price which in effect pays for just less than one…
