Re: Low Carb Diets and Breathalyzers Don't Mix
I got a sausage maker from aldi and you get get real pork casinging from the butcher.
What sort of sausages? I thought most contained rice flour here. Then there's the salt, sulphur dioxide and plastic casings. I don't care what sort of diet you're on but I wouldn't have thought you'd want to consume some of these things.

Another downside, I'm freezing !
Ah, the downsides of eating right
I have some old t-shirts from music festivals in the 90s tucked away in the archives, I might see if I can get into those, that would be a laugh as I've got a bit more muscle these days
I've cooked up some sausages for lunchtime at the cricket tomorrow, looking forward to an afternoon session of meaty burps. Take that Special K ...

Harris scarfe have 50% a mincer at the moment.
Hint: sausages with good quality meat are crap, you need to get the ratio of meat to "other parts" correct.

Well, either this thread or the "sugar is evil" one. Updates anyone? Think of it as practice before writing yourself up on MDA's success stories page.

You don't need 30 years, just look at the time we happily existed before agriculture and it's 'revolution'. I don't even mean going the full caveman.
Did we count calories? Nope.
Were we fitter? Yup.
Heart disease much? Nope.
Diabetic? Nope.
Did we have 'low fat' this and 'diet' that and 'cholesterol free' and 'gluten free' this that and the other? Nope.

Did we sit watching a TV with our dinners on our laps? Nope.
Did we eat the large quantity of food we do now? Nope.
Did we die at 40? Yup.

Re: Low Carb Diets and Breathalyzers Don't Mix
Invoking the 'They all died young' argument is very weak if you consider the wider perspective ... Modern medicine is very good at dealing with such things as infections, results of accidents and infant mortality rates which skew the picture.
There is evidence to suggest that we have actually grown shorter and weaker since the advent of agriculture. Certainly more disease-prone.
Yeh, we can feed more people but what kind of life are those people having? Tending to be fatter, cancer-prone and diabetic. Hoop-de-do.
I sometimes think the whole Paleo thing is done a disservice by the whole 'caveman' image precisely because of these kinds of knee-jerk responses.
The essence of it is to avoid processed food, sugar and potential toxins and anti-nutrients (grains, legumes and dairy) while focussing on nutrient-dense food.
Can't really argue with that in my book.
6 months on and I still say, ^&*# the food pyramid, eat fat, question everything and bugger what the cholesterol numbers say.

Re: Low Carb Diets and Breathalyzers Don't Mix
Apparently I am still alive and thriving despite consuming my last slice of bread sometime in March and keeping the carbs mostly below 50g a day for 6 months.
Hold on, apparently I must be harming my kidneys, or liver, or heart, or something
&*(^ it, I feel good.
