Hello and welcome.

Grains or pasta? Sluggish, dopey, brainfog.

Yep. Exactly the way I felt on Saturday afternoon after waffles and maple syrup. Tasted great, for a while. But after that, the sugar crash hit me hard.

Both my parents are overweight, and I've been trying to get them to eat paleo

Same. It sort of brings me back to what Rollo once wrote- "save those you can, read last rites to the dying". Some people just don't want to be saved. I try to help my parents understand this stuff, but I'm fighting against literally fifty years of ingrained thinking and bad advice. It's a losing battle.

Cheese has no carbohydrates in it though. I have a pack in front of me with the nutrition requirements and my pack reads 0.1 per 100 grams.

True that. My mistake. I had milk more in mind when I wrote that, but you're right, good cheese doesn't actually have any carbs. It's just full of tasty saturated fat and cholesterol- all the stuff a growing body needs!

Whenever I eat steak and brocolli, I feel great. Block of cheese, same thing, loads of energy. Grains or pasta? Sluggish, dopey, brainfog. You're allowed some leeway, so I eat a bit of dairy, rest is all paleo though.

Lol, you're right about the arguments thing. Both my parents are overweight, and I've been trying to get them to eat paleo, and purposely leaving books like The Paleo Solution and Why We Get Fat lying around the place. It's depressing, because there's more chance of them being needlessly miserable as they age further.

Cheese has no carbohydrates in it though. I have a pack in front of me with the nutrition requirements and my pack reads 0.1 per 100 grams. That's less than green vegetables, unless you're eating other cheese.
