I AGREE !
Exactly my own experience.
Lowcarb paleo has been a drastic change to the better for me.
And so easy !
Food crawings ! , eating to much !, feelin
g uncomfortable after eating !
Such things might well be symptoms of a bad diet - the body telling you
that it is malnourished ! For me those things has all but disappeared.
I am learning to listen more to my instincts (= food crawings ?). One
strange thing about lowcarb has been mild "crawings" for fat - not feeling
sated before eating 1 or 2 handful of nuts, or some fat cured ham , some
fat sundried black olives - or even drinking a little olive oil.
Probably it is simply my "fatburning" body needing more calories.
Combatting crawings for years on end , must be terrible - and unnatural.
But I am a man - Sheryls and others experience indicatate that it might
be different for women. I tend to believe that women "naturally" grow much
fatter than the prevailing female beauty ideals dictate.
It is not uncommon that women get thinner after their first pregnancy -
which must im
ply some profound metabolic/hormonal changes (caused by
pregnancy?). In ancient times women would have been pregnant early in life,
and then several times after that. In our times this is not so . Now it is
normal for women to have the first (perhaps only) child in her thirties -
this is not "natural" (but understandable and perhaps good in other ways).
It is easier for men to simulate a paleo lifestyle: hard and intense
physical activity (fighting ?) , being male paleo-lifestyle components.
Perhaps the gender difference in preferred physical activities - are merely
cultural?. Women can be fierce fighters - and have often better endurance
than men (and work physically harder than men in some cultures) - but this
is typically considered "unfeminine" in our culture.
So all you "fat" women , just start wrestling and mountain-hiking :-)
You will not necessarily ge
t thin, but you will get strong.
Fat is not "naturally" unattractive , but weakness is.
