Re: How do I lose that last layer of fat?

I agree with the point about the mistake of just substituting natural sugars.

For more on the dangers of fructose, see:

ideal weight. One of the biggest mistakes I see in people switching to a more

traditional diet is that they bring their sugar addiction with them and switch

from refined sugar to less refined forms like honey, maple syrup, or rapadura

and still eat too much sugar that includes high amounts of fructose. That said,

I also recognize that even cutting starchy carbs and eliminating added sugars

may not be enough to achieve an ideal weight when you're overweight.

during a 6 hour period on weekdays (breakfast and lunch) and have found that

even that didn't stop me from gaining 6 pounds over the last several months. I

am still going to have to be careful how much I eat during those 6 hours and on

the weekends when I break the fasting routine.

routine walking and running, so I've lost at least 50 pounds of fat. However, I

would like to get down to about 190 pounds for my 6'1 " frame. I have managed to

halt my weight gain the last month, but I'm still not losing again. I'm just

going to have to cut back on the calories to start the weight loss again.

If you eat 50% carb with 50% fat, where's your protein?

> If you have less body mass, that is higher in bodyfat, you simply consume less

calories and thus less carbs. You always eat proportionately for your size and

your activity. If you eat 50% carb with 50% fat but with healthy foods you

aren't going to get diabetes. You'll get diabetes from unhealthy habits and

following SAD.
