<p>There&#039;s plenty of information out there...what&#039;s lacking is concise, cogent explanations that are inspiring instead of discouraging.  I&#039;m doing my best to change that.</p>
<p>I&#039;m glad that my work inspired you to improve your life!</p>

<p>(Postscript: Infinite gratitude keeps me emotionally healthy, and money helps pay my rent.  Sales of <a href="http://www.100wattpress.com/our-books/the-gnoll-credo-by-j-stanton/#tgcsignedcopies" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Gnoll Credo</a> and <a href="/gnollwear/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">T-shirts</a> increase the probability that I&#039;ll continue writing articles.)</p>

        	        	<description><![CDATA[<p>Barricade:</p>
<p>"Is it possible that my meals are so nutritent dense, that I really can go 10 – 15 hours without refueling?"</p>
<p>Absolutely!  Since you&#039;re not losing weight, your workouts are still solid, and your energy levels are good, what&#039;s happened is that your metabolic flexibility is sufficient to keep you running off stored energy, and your hunger has come into line with your body&#039;s nutritional needs. I&#039;m <em>extremely</em> skeptical that you&#039;re only consuming 1200 kcal/day, though...you might try running a few days through fitday in order to figure out some rough calorie counts and macronutrient compositions.</p>
<p>As for myself, I&#039;ve noticed that I&#039;m happy to eat the same meals almost every day...apparently they&#039;re sufficiently nourishing that my body doesn&#039;t generate any cravings for anything else.  I haven&#039;t eaten breakfast in months.  Even if I exercise or work out, I&#039;m not hungry until I come back, and sometimes not even then.  My usual meal is a late lunch/early dinner, and perhaps a smaller supplement a few hours later (I usually end up on a 16/8 or 20/4 IF).</p>
<p>Juicing along with your steak is an excellent option.  I generally fix my own meals with some veggies and eat a salad, but I&#039;ve never liked vegetable juices. However you like them is fine.</p>
<p>Are you getting "enough carbs"?  If you&#039;re a powerlifter, your carb demands likely aren&#039;t very high: low-rep powerlifting is mostly dependent on phosphocreatine.  If you start doing high-rep work or "cardio" you might find yourself needing a bit more...but it sounds like you&#039;re well enough in tune with your body to know when you&#039;re feeling sluggish.  And juicing your veggies is going to get more nutrients out of them (including starches and sugars) than simply eating them raw. </p>
<p>That being said, if you&#039;re curious, go ahead and experiment!  There&#039;s no permanent commitment involved with eating a few potatoes or a batch of white rice.</p>
<p>What you&#039;re experiencing is, I believe, one of the biggest benefits of eating like a predator: <em>food no longer runs your life.</em>  How you feel now is <em>how humans are supposed to feel.</em>  We&#039;re so used to planning our days around the logistics and social rituals of stuffing something in our mouths every few hours, that our days feel a bit "empty" with all the extra time...but those logistics and rituals are a consequence of eating a Neolithic diet of birdseed, not our natural state of being.</p>
<p>Think of it as a bonus.  All that great stuff you never had time to work on?  Now you do!</p>

        	        	<description><![CDATA[<p>I must note that I feel the best I ever have in my life physically, and if I had to make a rough guess, I&#039;m on about 1200 calories a day.  I&#039;m 6&#039;0 - 185lbs. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I wanted to edit my first post, in that I actually rarely eat a starch with my meal.  Just grass fed organic chuck roast baptized in butter and that juice or a salad.  Am I getting enough carbs from the low-glycemic veggies?</p>

        	        	<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi there,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Since chancing upon Stanton&#039;s material, I am a devout follower of this way of life.  I eat exclusively organic fatty meats smothered in grass fed butter with a pallette of seasonal vegetables and a starch or two at meals.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I&#039;m experiencing a hardship, though, that I wanted to cast light on here.  Upon waking, I am just not hungry and this period seems to balloon for 5, 6, or even 7 hours sometimes.  The last month particularly, I cannot recall feeling ravenously hungry at all.  The only reason I will eat some days is because I begin to freak about the length of time that I have last-eaten without feeling the urge to indulge.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oddly enough, I am a powerlifter, and I rotate heavy barbell and kettlebell training very consistently in my life.  I don&#039;t ever experience sluggishness or depressed like symptoms.  My workouts are still strong, and I feel solid when I exert.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Even in the post work-out window, I can go hours and hours before I begin to feel like I need to "fill up my tank".</p>
<p> </p>
<p>One thing I also do, is juice fresh organic vegetables with my steak.  (ginger, lemon, kale, cucumber, parsely, and apple)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Is it possible that my meals are so nutritent dense, that I really can go 10 - 15 hours without refueling?  This is one of the most profound, baffling experiences I&#039;ve ever wrestled with in my life.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I also don&#039;t seem to be losing weight, and my body composition is robust.  I wonder about the psychological component here.  Am I psyching myself out with this whole paleo thing to where I&#039;m shutting down my bodily impulses?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Any ideas?</p>
