Higher Total Cholesterol on Paleo- 170 up to 220
I’m not worried about this because I feel and am performing better than ever but just looking for an explanation. You mentioned something about increased cholesterol at the first Paleo Solution Seminar but did not go into detail. I do not have TAG, HDL or LDL breakdown.
Stats:
5′9″ 160, <10% BF
1 year ago, Cholesterol @ 170 with appr. Zone proportions with increased fat and no food quality restrictions.
Cholesterol @ 220 Strict Paleo for 2 months with 1-2 cheats/ week of Non Gluten foods and coffee w/organic half and half. Unweighed unmeasured. 5gm fish oil/ day, 5000IU Vit D3 Feel Great!!
Nothing else has changed except being stronger and generally feeling better.
Just curious.
Nothing else has changed.
I have a question. Sorry if its already been asked. You mentioned the higher amounts of lysozymes in egg whites and how an excess can be potentially harmful. Why wouldn’t the HCl in the stomach denature it enough to be handled like almost every other protein?
Two parter, sorry. I have a client who is hypoglycemic and wanted to see if you could mention the condition and your recommendations on nutrition to that crowd. My client claims a need for carbs, which I can understand. I’m working on getting her off gluten and rice products, and on to yams potatoes and squashes? any other advice would be appreciated! Thank you. –Your Biggest fan in Texas!
Anybody with a background in nutrition/Paleo stuff care to comment on this new study?

Dave-
All the analysis necessary is right in their own summary:
“After three years, neither group showed a statistically significant difference in their ability to keep the weight off.”
And so it goes…
Andy-
Hypoglycemia is a rebound from too damn many carbs…you have a closet carb addict. Many, many proteins are NOT denatured in the digestive process.
Ehayes-
sub-fractions? HDL/LDL-particle size/triglycerides?
Brad-
Great one for the podcast!
Greg-
will get this in the podcast.
Lisa-
will tackle this in the podcast but I’ll point out: if the child’s intestines are irritated from cereal (and I’ll wager they are) they will not absorb that fortified iron.
Chad-
will be in OZ this year for sure! after the book.
Hey Robb, quick question: I know you are a big proponent of Magnesium, particulary Natural Calm. My question is, why exactly is it that we need to take Magnesium and what does it do? I know most people are deficient in Magnesium and I take it but I’m not quite sure what to tell clients as far as why they should take it….
EHayes,
Re autism – this book is worth reading if you haven’t done already
Healing The New Childhood Epidemics; Autism, AD/HD, Allergies and Asthma, Dr. Kenneth Bock (Random House, 2007)
Robb, is there any connection between the timing of intake of vitamin D and sleep? I was thinking that in a natural environment the body usually makes vitamin D throughout the day, peaking at midday? Whereas I have been taking my 6000-10,000 IUs later than 7pm. Would my timing affect sleep or just anything else? Would it be better in any way to spread the IUs throughout the day?
IBS Fodmaps Diet
I saw this today and found it interesting.
A diet for people with IBS is successful in a large number in a double blind study.
Removing a group of short-chain carbohydrates (fodmap) – fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols, which are malabsorbed.
Includes: excess fructose found in certain fruits and HFCS, fructans found in wheat, onions, and some other fruits and veggies, polyols such as sorbitol, lactose, galactans in various beans and gassy vegetables.

Another interesting discovery – a new client I have suffers from IBS, and noted that she could eat the same amount of bread in France (she is French) as she could in New Zealand, yet didn’t suffer nearly as much. It appears there is less gluten in European wheat. Fructan content too differs in wheat grains. (Of course removing grains and legumes altogether means she is symptom free.)
Great ‘cast. I especially was glad to hear the capsicum and nightshade issue addressed.

Email me your t=shirt size and shipping address.
New listener, really digging the podcasts! No filler, just pure info. Trying to get back on track after a stint this summer where I reached my lowest weight in over 5 years (not to mention feeling the healthiest since then as well).
At any rate, I’ve considered nightshades a lot lately, though I don’t know if I have any issues with them, or how I would even know. One thing that does make sense to me, though, from a paleolithic/neolithic perspective, is that I wouldn’t be all that surprised if there are issues were certain compounds found in the “new world”, like capsaicin.
