You are right, but if after eating meals with gluten a person notices signs of celiac disease, abdominal pain to diarrhea it could be very possible that they have celiac or and intolerance to gluten. Any thng affecting your intestines will limit the ability to absorb the proper nutrients from the food you eat and could have an effect on weight, a pendulum that swings both ways. If any suspects gluten to be a reaosn for an ailment there is no harm in eliminating gluten to see if the effects are positive... Diagnoses for any gluten intolerance and even celiac is very difficult and it is often the reason many try eliminating it....

gluten intolerance is very much on an individual basis and can have varied effects from digestive issues to migraines(It is a big list) , Celiac Disease is not the only thing effected by gluten but has been the most known concern for some time. If you suspect any issues could be from gluten there is no harm cutting it out of a diet, but often needs to completely cut and done for a period longer than 3 weeks... Averagejoe ... he is saying wheat is not a GMO crop and he is correct ... there are 6 GMO crops in the US ... Corn , Soy, Cotton Seed, Canola, Sugar Beets, and squash ! Natural deviants by cross breeding to create new strains are different the GMO ....

Non-typical.... hard to beat some good sockeye ... That is what is for lunch today for me along with a spinach salad and half an avocado .... easy to make a good baked salmon too

Non-typical.... I was thinking about using insanity , I have a friend that has always been ripped who raves about it. Chicken is my number one protein , I can cook it about a hundred ways now , and lettuce wraps for lunch are far better than any fast food .... I make everything from scratch including what dresses my salads... There are several sites that offer Nutritional Calculators that when doing a recipe you can enter all your ingredients by amount and give number of servings and it will give you all the nutritional info just like on the label on the side of your packaged goods. Having some grilled , broiled, or baked chicken always on hand is awesome too ... after evening workouts having a few ounces of turkey or chicken ( slow digesting proteins) can be better than even having a Creatine supplement for muscle healing while you sleep ..

Make sure you get air between you and the animal when opening up if gutting... Seen many guys toss their cookies getting hit by the gas that escapes the body cavity. A bone saw will help on splitting pelvis and sharp knives make it much easier and quicker. As all have stated proper handling of meat and getting it cool/cold quick will limit the gamy taste, but so does getting a good shot and dropping them in their tracks! Rutting Bulls and Bucks will always be a little more gamy due to the hormones in the body... Lots of good advice but the best is getting your hands dirty and practicing.

Hyper .. this is basically what I have been doing since January and down nearly 80 lbs ... That feeling horrible happens, often associated with your body detoxing and adjusting ... it lasted about a week for me but I pushed through it .... doubled my intake of daily spinach, threw in an extra banana at afternoon snack, found a good Multi-Vitamin and kept the water intake high .... for me once my body adjusted there were no more issues.

Havasu I find hard boiling a couple dozen eggs on Sunday for the next week helps a ton in getting a quick start to your day and having good Protein for a snack or lunch readily available. A couple hard boiled eggs, Banana, 1 oz of almonds along with an ounce of 85% higher dark chocolate is a good start to the day ... of course if you can grill up a steak and fry a couple eggs in olive or coconut oil in the morning ther eis nothing wrong with that either !

Slow weekend for me, had told sister I would watch her place and do some things she needed done while she was in Vegas... No gym just push-ups and a few miles each night ... Scale has down 2 lbs but did punch a new hole in belt to keep it snug without slipping. That makes 10 ( 5 I had to punch ) holes my waist has shrank on my belt. I find keeping my Belt and punching new holes great motivation. About 20 more lbs to hit my goal before 10/31 and hunt starts 36 lbs to go by end of Dec. Hitting farmers market today to replenish the greens I did not pick up over the weekend !

Can not agree more with Healy's post above.... I was well overweight and humping up and down the hills and keeping up pretty well with some of my skinnier friends... It took getting my butt kicked on a hill last November that made me do that hard long look and make the the changes I am to focus on my overall health.

I know many that hunt the cow/spike on the res for both archery and rifle... they do not usually have any issues getting a tag... For a little more you can also get the Archery Rag horn DIY hunts( $500 + $5 ) ... A good friend has been able to do this hunt 2 out of last 3 years and harvested on both trips... I think their group of 6 got 5 last year ... If you are going for the meat in the freezer and want to hunt , the WMAT cow/spike hunts are the way to go. The late affiliate hunt is first come first serve, I believe it is sept 5th this year at the Hon Dah Game and fish office. That late hunt is fun and can be very rewarding but be prepared for the cold and varied weather. As for what El Diablo said on the scouting, the hunt is plenty long and the Elk are not that hard to find, I have assisted my dad and his friends on this hunt 7 times and they have about 80% success, but also had opportunities on every hunt to harvest.

Please note - I did say that the Doc provided for big frames and lots of muscle as a way out of BMI top end calculations. He just challenged that most people use that as an excuse when in fact they need to lose more weight. As I stated, he said come back at 180 ripped and hard and he'd call for an exception. I understood all you wrote, and am not bashing the use of BMI. I am saying it is a good starting point and visual for people to see where they may fall, but a person should also know what their body fat percentage is. BMI charts can not differentiate the difference of muscle weight(weighs more) and Fat weight, or water weight for that matter... It is just weight! Know your body, work hard to find a place where you feel great, can do all the things you want to do and are happy with your self looking in the mirror. Those who say that there are a few narrow exceptions would be completely wrong, there is a large percentage of people who do not fit under the definitions the chart provides. If you follow the BMI numbers 50 - 65% of all professional athletes are over weight. Like I said BMI is a good starting point to talk about where you are and your goals, but in no way is accurate for most people who strength train to build muscle.

Chia Seed Pudding is an excellent quick morning meal , Low Cal, and boosting with Nutrition and is easy to make ... There are many recipes on line but I usually go ... 1/4 cup Chia Seeds 1 cup Chocolate Almond milk 2 Tsp Local organic honey 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and sometimes 1/2 tsp cinnamon Just mix all together and refrigerate over night ... stirring occasionally the first couple hours Top with 1 ounce Shaved 85% or higher Dark Chocolate and fresh Raspberries

BMI graphs are nice and all but far from accurate... there are many , many people who are in outstanding physical shape and have below 13% Body fat Which is the high side for athletes, but if you go by BMI they are all obese. Look at Body fat percentages to gauge in contrast to BMI and you may fall somewhere in between Essential body fat for men is 2 -5% .... Being a Wrestler in high school I can tell you I seen first hand how lacking a body can be under 5% and know some guys as low as 3% who had no essential fat protecting organs. Athletic percentages are in 6 - 14% range This is the range that most pro athletes fit in ... I DID SAY MOST A fit Man , the gym guy on average falls between 14 - 17 % Average healthy Male 18 - 24% Anything over 25% +'s OBESE I am 5' 11" and know that at 185 I was measured at 13.5% body fat and would still be considered Overweight by this chart... I can tell you starting at my highest on this Jan 1 of 310 lbs I know what feeling the extra weight does and the difference physically between that amount and the mid 230's I am at Now ... I am just saying BMI charts are not always the best indicator and do not factor in many things.

I was thinking of vacuum sealing it and then geocaching it during an earlier scouting trip at least a few miles in the middle of nowhere, forcing me to get up early and put boot leather on the ground opening morning...

I do not know about Steven, But I have always done strength training/lifting before cardio... And for people that are overweight or obese the idea of Carb loading for workouts is not necessary.. Simple carbs ( like sugar, white flour , pasta, No grain breads) metabolize and are quickly turned to glucose, becoming the energy for your cells. Energy is good, it feeds the cells, but when you have too much for the kind of activity you are doing the body does not go to Fat as much to get the energy/calories needed to maintain the activity and excess glucose can easily be converted to fat if consumed at periods of little energy use and activity..A high Protein diet that includes High Fiber Slow releasing carbs ( non starchy carbs like leafy greens, onions, broccoli, onions, asparagus, some fruits and much more) allows a person to maintain a balanced energy level throughout the day. With the proper amount of calories and right carbs for fueling just your basic activities, when you ramp up the activity the body will go from using the current metabolizing sugars for energy to burning fat ( stored energy ) for being able to fuel the cells during the process. The high protein protects the muscle giving it the nutrients needed to maintain, rebuild and strengthen. After a workout where your body has pulled from its fat reserve, the worst thing you can do is intake a large amount of simple carbs, because much will get unused and stored as fat. After a workout I have been using creatine and a slow digesting protein, a couple ounces of turkey or chicken after a workout and about 30 minutes before you put your body to rest will help in muscle recovery as well as keeping the metabolism burning more while you sleep. Playing football and wrestling I knew all this, and still let the convenience of or modern life to weigh me down on in actual pounds.... You do not need to hit the gym right away if overweight, look how you can change your eating lifestyle first... For me , Limiting all sugars, no fast food, no processed foods, I took it a bit more cutting out gluten an and limiting dairy ( mainly cheese, which was hardest of all) and lost my first 30 lbs in 2 1/2 months without doing anything but my daily routine. Adding the gym and increasing the jogging and hiking in the last few months have kept the process moving while getting mack the strength and condition I once had. The absolute hardest thing though was cutting out Alcohol... Not a beer in 8 months

Wow! Congratulations on already losing 74lbs....that's awesome. And I like the idea of a CW.com team for the Spartan! Maybe you could start a different thread about that and see who all is interested? Thanks ... Not been easy cutting a lot of things out and some harder than others, but started Jan 1st and the goal is 8.5 lbs a month .... I Was seeing the payoffs in late February hiking the mountains helping my Bro find some javelina ... My son was there to push me higher , longer, and harder ... Hoping to restock up on venison with our Hunt in early Nov. Will make a good addition to my new High Protein eating lifestyle... I may just start a thread and see how many may want to join in on that 3 mile obstacle run ! As for my eating changes I kind of did the nutritional research and came up with the changes that I could easily do and would work with me , months later I was told about the Paleo/caveman diet .... looking things over it is the closest published diet to what I am doing , though several things do not meet the Paleo rules... Lots of proteins, good carbs, low sugar ( any used all natural) , no processed food, and gluten free .

Well, I think I should be good for my hunt in 23 this year. After helping on my dads Elk hunt last year and having my butt kicked by a mountain I should have had no problems with I decided to make this year about getting back in peak shape.... I set a goal of losing 120 lbs. and Running the Spartan Race ( doing the sprint for the first time out) when it comes late Feb. 2015 ... I have not hit the gym as much yet as I would like, but through changing my ways I am down 74 lbs and well on my way. Eating right , Daily Push-ups and staying active combined with a few days of gym work is paying off. Maybe Coues should get a group going for the Spartan !!! http://www.spartan.com/events/?event_id=300/arizona-sprint

I have found an old lion kill with one of those 3x3 with guards that was just as you say about the size of a cupped hand with fingers fanned out, that was in unit 32 and I have never seen one on hoof... I do recall watching a hunting show a couple years back that they were hunting those little fan tails, and the racks they showed were about identical !

I have an unused Switchback Soft case in all camo that I would let go at a good price if any are interested ...pm me Great Bow , sure some one will snatch it up !

Without Tort reform and Keeping laws that limit any real competition with insurance companies ... this is how it is ... That and the additional 40+ % on the new Obama Care which were actually Medicade/welfare ... Lawyers... Lobbyists and Politicians and the Bad Laws they create are what kills many and why so Many that work and pay their insurance still can not afford to get sick !

He is talking about H450 ... made by Olin and discontinued By Hodgdon was a spherical powder... very similar to H4831 in burn with slightly better velocity... was a very popular slow burn high velocity powder, and I knew many guys that preferred it for their .30-06 loads.... there are still guys out there reloading that would probably like to get their hands on some so they can bring back to life some of their older loads... As far as price that is a tough call , popular powder for many that can not longer be bought ...

Nice Job, think it may be time to get out the rain gear and hit the water !!!!
