General Discussion / How NOT To Lose Weight?
« on: February 13, 2013, 05:34:56 pm »
I've started a 30-Day raw paleo experiment on Monday. My starting weight was at 61.9kg (normal for my height), but I have since gone down to 61.5kg on Tuesday and 60.9 today. All in all, then, I've lost 1kg (2.2lbs, I think) in two days. Problem is: I didn't want to lose weight when I started, and I still don't want to. Is this something everyone goes through that eventually stops? If I keep losing weight at this rate, I have about 4 months till I'm completely gone xD.

I'm working out three times a week (Mo, Wed, Fri) doing the hundrepushups, twohundredsquats and twentypullups programs as well as running twice a week (right now I'll be doing 8km/12km runs; gonna start doing 18kms in two weeks and will run a half-marathon in 6 weeks). How can I keep this workout load and gain weight instead of losing it?

I've also been trying to eat increasingly more calories, but it's kind of hard... I eat until I am satisfied, and I haven't really been hungry these past few days... I've also been trying to eat more fat by having eggs, grated coconut and duck's legs. What more can I do?

General Discussion / Beef Tongue -- How to prepare?
« on: February 08, 2013, 07:42:28 pm »
Hey, I just bought a whole beef tongue and was wondering how to prepare it raw. The butcher said I'd have to cook it very well in order to be able to take off the rough skin (I didn't tell him I was planning on eating it raw). Do you know how it could be done without cooking?

Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks :)

Exercise / Bodybuilding / Insanity on Raw Paleo?
« on: January 28, 2013, 05:36:31 pm »
Hey y'all, I'll be trying out a (mostly) raw paleo diet in a few weeks, and I think I'll be doing the second month of Insanity in the mornings while I'm at it. Do you think it would work? My diet right now is pretty paleo, so I won't be experiencing a lot of carb withdrawal symptoms (I hope).
Doing Insanity also means that I'd need a lot more carbs than usually recommended, but it's only for a month so it should be OK. Do you think I should get them just from fruit or from other sources as well?
I'm thinking of getting 150-300g of carbs per day except on Saturdays, because I won't work out on Sundays. Will this prevent my body from learning to burn fat?
Also, when should I eat my carbs? I'll do insanity in the mornings on an empty stomach (done it before and it worked fine), so my glycogen stores will be pretty depleted during the day, unless I eat carbs, which I'm thinking of doing in the afternoon. Post-workout I'll be eating raw eggs with veggies.

As you can see, I have a lot of questions ^^ please help me with anything you can. This diet is an experiment and if it goes wrong, I won't be able to continue it after 30 days (I'm 17 and live with my mother, and it was really hard to convince her to let me try this).

Thanks :)
