Does that mean that in addition to resisting the processed foods that are specifically designed to encourage people eat more of it, while delivering little, if any, nutritional value, now we shall also have to resist the temptation of eatin

Pellagra is a vitamin B deficiency. It has nothing to do with EFA. You could at least look up the first line of a Wikipedia article? Tryptophan is an essential amino acid. It can be caused by decreased intake of niacin or tryptophan,[1]

No experiment has ever succeeded in inducing an EFA deficiency. You may look up Pellagra. It is, of course, not a threat in a modern western society, but it used to kill people. Not even an experiment, but something that happened in natur

Yes. The only way the carbs are stored in the human body is in the form of glycogen, in liver and skeletal muscle. There's about 1 kg of it in total, maybe a bit more if you're a trained athlete. And glycogen binds about, maybe, u

The amount of carbs stored in the human body would not account for 100 lbs, not even for 20 lbs. A couple of pounds of carbs are stored in the body, in the form of glycogen, plus the water it soaks - maybe three times more, so the differenc

Well, I have to admit - there is no proper scientific proof beyond any doubt. Obviously, to prove the statement, one would have to keep two groups of people locked in the lab for years, feed one group with fresh food, and the other group wi

What is the purpose behind increasing fat in diet when doing this? Is it to just compensate for calorie loss? Is it to control cravings? It is both. Firstly, for an average person, carbs are a significant part of calorie intake. If you ju

What about grocery shop? I mean, surely you have groceries around you so you can just ... walk there? go there by bike? Or if you have a reasonably large family and prefer to grocery shop once a week or so ... of course you could walk the

What I personally found out was that if you stay away from sugar and sweeteners completely, eventually you get used to the new taste and no longer suffer from lack of sweetness. I didn't think I'll ever be able to drink unsweetene
