Case of Disappearing Comments Solved
I've occasionally received emails from folks wondering why their comments don't seem to post to my blog. I pretty much manage my comments by being alerted to them in Google Feed Reader, click on the link there and it takes me to the post/comment where I can respond. Well, Blogger has a Comments management tab that I don't really use much unless I'm trying to search for something in the comments (even then I can search just as well in Google reader). So anyway, I just discovered that a number of comments that show in my reader do not make it onto the blog. Perhaps if I respond right away Blogger automatically moves them out of spam, but I get no other notice like a red flag on the Comments tab that there have been some comments moved to a Spam Inbox. Who knew?
Anyway, I have 19 comments in there, some I know have been published, some don't show up. I'll be "unspamming" them now.
Sorry about that! Live and learn :-)
Edit: Oh, BTW, if any of you have tried, like Melchior, to post repeatedly, do you get any sort of error message or does your comment just not show up? I'm perplexed how Blogger decides what might be spam because nobody posts that much here that the traffic should be suspect and it has let through other posts from many of these authors. Dunno.

Hi, hi, I have indeed been hitting your post button like a dopamine rush craving lab rat a while back. Your page told me my message had been posted, but then Google would say ‘IRL too long’ or something like that. I vaguely remember I was quite happy some messages didn’t make it ;-). Defended a certain highly respected person (still, but admiration is cooling down a bit) who later disappointed me by basically ignoring your important questions. By the way, regulation of bodyfat is a big theme here, but what do you think of the other hypotheses presented in GCBC, I mean the role of recurrent BG-excursions and hyperinsulinaemia in the pathogenesis of cancer, CHD, Alzheimer’s etc?
Nice you mentioned Barker’s hypothesis. This has been studied rather well here in Holland, since the urban Western part of our petite country was hit by severe food shortages in the (cold) winter of 1944/’45. The children born to mothers who were pregnant and starving, developed metabolic syndrome at a much higher rate then children of well fed mothers. This in utero programming in order to be prepared for a harsh environment is very real, but I doubt if this happens today. Not many women are starving during pregnancy and babies get havier.
I get the "URL too long" error at least a third of the time I myself post comments, but those seem to show up just fine. If I view them and go up to the URL display, I can literally lean on the delete button forever (I've done it for like a minute) and it just keeps deleting gibberish characters ... if there's ever an end I've not yet had the patience to find it!
The spam thing seems to have no option to opt out of, and oddly enough the comments show in my feed reader despite not being published on the blog. At the very least there's a tab in the comments management area labeled Spam, but there's no (#) indicating there's anything in there. Oh well. Guess you get what you pay for sometimes ;), but this platform is pretty user friendly overall for a noob like me.
I think there's a lot to be learned about our body's reactive adaptations to malnutrition. My head is still trying to reconcile some inconsistencies in the last IR post. More to come :) Have a great weekend!
Welcome to the Asylum Anya! Thanks for that link. I haven't read all of the comments thoroughly, but I gotta say Mark Sisson showed his true colors :( It's OK to peddle a flawed simplistic theory so long as it increases the "buy-in".
The reason? It’s impossible to overeat on potatoes.

As a food addict, I set out in my 20's to try to understand why I/we craved quite particular things and came across 3 very common conditions that cause insatiable food cravings - Candida, Food Intolerance, Hypoglycaemic. Phase 1 of THD is the 'perfect' diet to overcome all 3 conditions: 5 days of unlimited real meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, salads, natural live yoghurt and 50g (dry weight) brown rice. Phase 2 then builds on this depending on which conditions people are battling.
It is more low carb than low calorie. I don't believe in calorie restriction whatsoever. It has been shown for 100 years NOT to work in 98% of cases. Low carb is the only way to lose weight, but this isn't as extreme as many low carb regimes. Essentially because it's about ending food cravings for ever and using what we know about insulin to minimise fat storing and maximise fat burning, rather than trying to bring on ketosis or anything very low carb.
Hope this helps! I'm on Jimmy on the 16th Dec!

It's really good that your diet looks at some of the physiological drivers of disregulated appetite.
It's true (IME treating obese clients) that high(er) protein diets tend to ameliorate these drivers better than the SAD.
One point I would like to emphasize, however, is that many obese clients overeat in response to psychological/sociological drivers (obesogenic environment). Food cravings, per se, only represent a sub-set of the many drivers that promote overeating in 2010.
Also, insulin is not 'the bad guy' in terms of food cravings and in terms of adipose storage. Protein foods are the most satiating (and provoke none of the glycemic 'swings' that create food cravings) despite the fact that they elicit strong insulin responses (James Kreiger has posted extensively on this issue).
Cheers

I also think Harry makes a great point as that was the path towards my own obesity and it can be seen discussed on Jimmy's board and various other LC and weight loss boards and blogs.
I'll be listening to your interview with Jimmy. :)
