second that - I can't actually remember last time when the problem wasn't on their end (based on fact that data from other sources continues without interruption) I do think outage rate with IB is way too high for traders trading in short time frames - something like once per week for...

Assuming we're getting close to agreeing on the formulas to use, what H, L, C values do others prefer using, and what is the "proper" source of these numbers (if any)? Here are some possibilities to choose from for ES: ES 24-hour prices ES day session prices (830-315 CST) SP pit prices SP...

4-5 minute disconnection at about 3:05 EST Def, is that the time it takes IB to "reboot"? :eek:

down twice during last 2 hours, second time at about 3:50 on a slow afternoon, what could possibly be their excuse?

Excellent point (as well as the others in your post). The "eat less" and "do more exercise" chanters have been around a long time and not doing much good (typically young people with high metabolic rates who get a lot of exercise and think "guts" is all it takes to get things done :)). One's...

Ha! Obviously you have to do all that exercise to compensate for what you're eating.

Total calories are the primary determinant of how much you weigh, but not of whether you are healthy or feel satisfied with what you are eating. -------- Another store-bought low-carb bread that tastes pretty good: Nature Ovens Bakery Mild Rye Bread 70 cals 0.5g fat 13g carb 4g...

Its not due so much to lack of fiber, but rather because it takes more water to digest protein than carbs. Also, if you just lower your carb/protein ratio rather than going to the extremes of the induction phase, you'll have fewer problems (see my previous posts). Personally, I was able to...

If you can live with tortillas as bread (which my wife can, but I can't :)), try LaTortilla Factory Whole Wheat Low-Carb/Low-Fat Tortillas: 50 cal 2g fat 11 g carb 8g fiber 5 g protein (net -2g carbs) or about 2x all that for larger size tortilla. (by "net" carbs, I'm subtracting...

We're lucky enough to be able to buy bread from bread shops that is higher-protein (due to presence of cheese, whole grains, seeds, and/or nuts), so we haven't had to make our own. When the good stuff is not available, I use Pepperidge Farm Deli Rye bread with: 80 calories/slice 1g fat 15...

I'm sure it wasn't IB's fault today (it never is :)), but today's several minute disconnection from CME (while other feeds kept running), makes me wonder whether, as mentioned above, they have a problem restarting their data feeds that adds a dely of several minutes to each such event. Also...

All my meals are similar in overall composition, and I eat more than 3 "meals" a day (more like 6-7), with some being 200 calorie "snacks" (eating smaller meals more often is typically part of these diets). Randy, sorry about the "nutty" crack. As you can see from the sample lunch, I doubt...

Extreme diets produce extreme results that may be helpful in extreme cases, but are largely irrelevant to the way that most of us want to, or can afford to, live our lives. I can bake cookies with lots of fiber that I know are really good for me, and taste like saw dust, but I would be a moron...

Right. Here's an example (that also provides nutty with an example of what I might eat for lunch): Shelton's Chicken Chili with Black Beans (made with free range chicken - check out their web site) 1 cup - 1 serving 200 calories 3g fat 23g total carbohydrate (the beans) 7g fiber...

It's ludicrous because you can't get normal people to stick to such diets (not because you can't construct a healthy one that has only 10% fat). And that's why you really-low-fat guys piss me off. You're continuing to lead people down paths that are a waste of time. Food has to taste good and...

Oops. I forgot about nuts. I eat an ounce of nuts each day (various types, net carb/protein ratio of about 1:1). Am in middle of eating dinner (green beans, egg, cheese, whole grain bread). Will respond later to your last question.

Total BS. My diet is not deficient in any of the above and is still low-carb. Vegetables and whole grains are exactly where my carbs come from. (And your recommendation of 10% calories from fat is ludicrous.)

Most of what you've recommended or referred to can fit within a low-carb diet. I view the problem in 3 parts: (1) metabolic balance (the low-carb stuff) (2) nutrition and disease prevention (3) exercise You can get any one of these right and blow the others. For example, you could be...

This is a great example of how "low-carb" can allow for a variety of diets. Walther's overall recommendation is similar to mine, but the details are different. For example, I'm not concerned with animal fat from lean cuts or fish, I would eat berries rather than large (human-engineered) fruit...
