I used to use that as well and if I remember right, they have a marketing package where they can optimize your site through the major seach engines.

I was thinking about switching from them simply b/c their prices are high relatively speaking, but I've built my entire site with it and don't have the balls to move it to another host. Plus, I never took the time to learn code or anything and really like homestead's sitebuilder. It's very simple to use.
But as far as I know I can't have the blog or the forum hosted at homestead.

Did you transfer a site directly from homestead to another host, Lee?
From what I understand, homestead uses a lot of proprietary coding so when things transfer over they get ****ed up.

Excellent read, Steve.
Thank you for posting it.
Best regards to your personal training,

Hey, thanks Chllen. Stay tuned, I think later tonight I'll be posting part 4 which turned out great... about why diets fail generally in Lyle's mind as well as where he sees the future of obesity heading.
That would be too cool. I look forward to reading it.
Thanks again, Steve.
Best wishes

Chances are you may have to start from scratch unless homestead will let you view your entire site in HTML code. In a case like that, you'd be able to simply copy and paste the code into a blank page with godaddy's site builder and that should work.
I'd get both parties on the phone and make sure you can do that before you cancel your homestead account.
To be honest, I'd have to have a pretty good reason to leave homestead. I guess better traffic would be great but the site isn't even open, for the most part yet, so it's hard to tell what kind of traffic I'm going to be getting yet.
I suppose it's something I'll have to play be ear.
Thanks for the info Lee.

Part 4 is up where Lyle and I discuss why diets tend to fail and the future of obesity.
That was simply awesome! Thanks so much, Steve 
Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed.
Thanks. What are you referring to? The interview?
Part 3 was fantastic!
He certainly has a talent for explaining things in a very clear and concise manner that just about anyone can understand. I think after reading that that I might be Insulin resistant; I never would have thought that considering I spent most of my life being stick thin

I appreciate you posting the conversation with Lyle, Steve. Specifically, I enjoyed the conversation about carbohydrates the most. I am one of those persons (when fat content is high), that can eat carbohydrates virtually any time of the day (even before bed), and lose fat tissue, as long as a calorie restriction was present. However, I can not express in words, just how difficult it was to lose fat tissue once I reached around 10% and wanted to dip below or at about 8%. This was a different beast altogether. A straight calorie deficit wasn't working anymore, and even increasing energy expenditure (in various ways within my fitness training, to keep this short) didn't work. Cutting carbohydrates methodically (or just slowly lowering them) over time, didn't work either. I had to work it under 20ish grams (with an appropriate deficit) to solicit the results I personally wanted. It was a rather tough period, because the "bonk", along with experiencing headaches, being light headed, and some lethargy, was a monster to deal with (and this is putting it mildly-speaking, lol). But once I got out of this period (the symptoms if you will), and maintained the same intake, energy and vitality returned. I learned a lot, and it was a worthwhile experience.
Again, thank you for posting the conversation with this well respected individual.
And, good luck with your site, Steve. I think you will do well.
Best regards,
Chillen
Thanks Chillen...
Personally I've toyed around with going sub-10 and I have to do some carb manipulation too. I don't have to go total keto but something like Lyle's Ultimate Diet or anything with targeted keto periods coupled with refeeds works well with me. Actually, I haven't found anyone lean trying to get leaner who this type of thing didn't work for.
It's just too complex for most to try but well worth it IMO. And in truth, it's not that hard... just can't be lazy with the numbers and manipulating diet and exercise week in and out.

Personally, this is the beauty and power of writing your own book (so-to-speak. One wasn't written for me, so I had to write one as I worked), and the numbers (within the diet journal) can tell a personal story, and one can use this data at certain places within their goal path to aide them. Going through the process of losing the bulk of my unwanted fat tissue, and the process of dipping below 10% as (briefly stated in the previous post) allowed me to learn a lot about my body. Now, I know what to do, and have the data to work from. And, if I run into a complication, I have the data to sort this out. I owe a lot to keeping track of my persona data (within the diet and training journals), and this allowed me to learn what to manipulate (change, etc), as I moved a long. Personally, I wouldn't have been near successful without it. People are so different from one another; I agree being this methodical in personal data, isn't for everyone, but it sure is a most powerful tool.
I look forward in visiting your site when you get it altogether.
Have a great day, Steve.

I didn't realize this was a recent endeavour, Steve. I wish you much good luck with this!
(Although I don't think you'll need any of my good luck. You really know your stuff ...)Just an aside, I'm a Type 1 diabetic and when I told my dietician I was going to go on an anabolic diet she said "Don't do it. You'll go ketotic for sure and that's hard on your kidneys, you'll have to re-regulate your insulin, you could die, blah, blah, blah."
As soon as she said "Don't do it", I was already thinking of ways to do it
I told her that I knew my body and that I'd watch my ketones like a hawk for the first 3 months so I knew exactly what my carb to fat ratio (and insulin doses) should be FOR ME.I'm not going to lie. Figuring out an anabolic diet that would work for me was a labor intensive b!tch of an exercise and a huge learning curve -- not to mention a somewhat dicey thing to do, because in effect, I was really putting my body under a lot of stress and using myself as a guinea pig until I had things all figured out. I had a few close calls and a few trips to the ER, too. But I learned so much about my body and how it reacts to certain foods, as well as how to "sense" when I needed more carbs/insulin/whatever, that it was all worth it.
I've been eating a modified anabolic diet for about 6 years now (I say "modified" because I have to make allowances for my diabetes and for when I do cardio, etc.), but I can't imagine eating any other way. My blood sugar is so stable, it's criminal.
Moreover, Lyle McDonald's diets are the only way to go if you want to lose bodyfat. He's definitely on the cutting edge of nutrition (no pun intended)
