In the meantime, this rolled across my desk this morning, and I have to say, it does nothing to tempt me, though it seems like it should.
Hopefully, my newfound disinterest in dessert-y things continues throughout the winter!

Posting. . .
Hey! Sorry I'm not posting, lately. I'm with Yaz: my eating's just too boring to post about. . . I'm sticking with it most of the time, except for about one drink a week on a Saturday night. We'll see if I've made any progress in the BF% department.

How is paleo eating boring? Jacob, what have you been eating?
ReplyDeleteYou know, I feel like I'm still addicted to sugar and I have not had any at all throughout this challenge. I blame it on all the food blogs and personal interest I have in baking and cooking but that cupcake doesn't look good to me right now, more like a mess. I read something really interesting about sugar yesterday and I cannot stop thinking of it. Someone said that every time you consume sugar whether through sodas, bread, fruit juices, pastry, etc you are delaying your fat burn by at least 3-4 hours and it's being stored straight to fat. Every time I want to eat sugar I will think of that and hopefully it will deter my addiction.
ReplyDeleteI don't miss grain/dairy, though I do miss french toast.
I feel like my eating is getting boring as well, but I live alone so when I cook I usually have leftovers for the entire week and I also have a hard time eating left overs so I've had to change my train of thought there. But I am bored with my food selections as well Jacob.
Please.
ReplyDeleteThere is no food that flips a switch and stores 100% fat. Everything has to be taken in context of quantity and overall patterns.
One of the things that kills me about paleo are absolutist statements such as "delaying your fat burn by at least 3-4 hours and it's being stored straight to fat"... come on. That is some alarmist bullshit and disingenuous if the author really knows what's going on.
Yes, that is what happens on a cellular level. You know what they left out? As insulin drops, fat is released. To quote Martin Berkhan in his excellent post on alcohol, "Fat storage is an ongoing process and fatty acids are constantly entering and exiting fat cells throughout the day. Net gain or loss is more or less dictated by calorie input and output."
So as always, moderation is good and alarmist statements don't serve anything. Just moderate sugar (or honey, same thing) and look at it in context of your overall diet, macros, micros and calories.
