re: I can't imagine anything worse than the Paleo diet.

And you know I love lean gains. I believe its the best diet system in the world but its not for those that are severly overweight or for those that have a severe addiction to sugar. Most people that are extremely overweight have developed insulin resistance and have problems that only going low carb can correct. and almost all of them are addicted to sugar and need to break the addiction so they can look at food in a healthy way again and can do a diet like lean gains. What you don't understand is the average overweight person does not have close to the will power you have and the minute you say its ok to have carbs, they are going to ape shite and have a whole damn jar of nutella and a bag of gummie bears. They can't handle it because they still have an addiction. Once the addiction is broken they usually can slowly add back starches.

Alright it all makes sense now when you put it this way, as carbs being an addiction. I have probably some form of insulin resistance that I developed when I was a lazy skinny fat piece of shite. I usually have to take a glucose tablet before going to bed or otherwise I won't be able to fall asleep. Some nights I don't need to.
