Scotty,
Congrats on your quest to get healthier. One thing I have learnt is that most doctors and nutritionists are WAY behind the latest research. I won't bang on about the long term effectiveness of dieting, so much info makes things confusing, but PLEASE watch last weeks Catalyst about sugar and insulin at www.abc.net.au/catalyst/episodes/

Good luck!!
Rick


That was a tripper episode. Regulate sugar the same as cigs and booze. The tests were quite scary

Rick,
I clicked on the link and watched the clip (yes, all 18 minutes).
My attention span is good for videos.
I found it very interesting.
We have been conned for too long by food packaging about 99%fat free,etc.
As much as fat is a killer for putting on the kg's, sugar is the silent killer.
The video mentioned the low fat Mayonaise had 6 times more sugar then normal (low fat = higher sugar).
I will watch it again tomorrow to understand more about how sugar affects insulin levels and the body's metabolism.
Worth watching guys if you have a spare 18 mins.

Weighed this arvo at 140 kg.
So I have lost 4kg which is not as much as I would have liked at this stage from when I started.
This week has been my most active and will continue the exercise.
Eating better as well.
Probably 17 or 18 weeks til Xmas.

Thanks Ted.
Although it's been a slow start, I am ready to ramp up the exercise.
The past 8 days of 666 have got me hooked again.
After Ricko's post about sugar, I have cut sugar out.
That is good viewing.
Hell, I might even grab the LB for a paddle.

Hey Scotty... you've seen this Paleo/Primal thread before I know -- but it works.
www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Stand-Up-Paddle/SUP/How-Primal-changed-my-SUP-life/
There's a shipload of info - sometimes too much - cos it's pretty simple. i basically stopped grains, dairy and spuds. Now it's lots of fruit, lots of salads, lots of meat if you want. I have a red wine if i want one (or 3). And all the good experts say lash out and treat yourself now and then with whatever. It's a change of habit/lifestyle rather than a set-period diet.
You might post a crazy number today that means you don't need the paleo/primal thing - but if not, if it looks like you are trapped on a crazy merry-go-round... make the (slight) effort to get your head around it... and your shopping/meal preparation.... and you will be posting pix like the ones Supthecreek shared in that thread...
like i said... IT WORKS.

I will disagree. If you stick to all off this diet you might lose weight,but your cholesterol will go through the roof,while your arteries are hardening and your heart will then just stop. Yes you will lose weight but is it the safe and healthy way to do it? It is called the caveman diet,how long did the caveman live for?.
Everything in life life will come down to a few things.
The more you put through your cake hole the more exercise you need. No special diet just common sense. Sugar is evil but tastes great,booze is bad yet :t is good on so many levels lol.

totally agree with chrispy on this one. cut the crap food, soft drinks etc, eat your protein in the morning and lunch, carbo's for dinner and exercise.

i was/am reasonably fit but my cholesterol level was ****e from crap food

i've lost 7 kgs ver 6 weeks- 83 to 76 kgs and eating heaps, i sleep a lot better, a lot calmer and happier in my self

you just have to eat the right foods at the right time and exercise.

i think a slower weight loss is more long term than the quick fix, crash and burn/ failure methods

Glad I got yas fired up. I agree with the people who disagree with me ... some of the Paleo/Primal stuff (too much bacon, egss etc) IS clearly crazy.
I'm vouching for the cutting right back on dairy and grain (especially bread) side of it cos that works for me. I was only a bit over 89kg and not a midget - i just want to shift 6 to 8 kg and keep it off... I reckon there are really sound principles in the paleo basics and then each person needs to use their brains and customise it from there. It's like a good Burford Blank - use it wisely. I like it for people who are waaay overweight because it's not something you do and then stop and then end up going round the cycle again.
I'm on fruit, salads, lean meat, fish. And have only cut out most dairy and grains - nothing dangerous there. I make sure Iget my calcium needs etc..
And of course ya gotta excercise too. So yeah - disagree away boys but if Scotty goes Paleo he WILL reach his target and he (probably) WON'T die on the way.

I've gotta back you up on this one. I now have similar eating habits to that which you describe and find it easy to stick to. Main rule is nothing processed, all food in our house is now cooked from scratch. Lots of nuts, seeds, chicken, fish and salads. I havent really lost any weight but I have lost 2 buckle holes off my belt.... I have also cut 90 seconds from by previous best 5km time, added 40kgs to my deadlift and in general feel a bunch stronger. The most interesting thing I find is that I can't train as hard when I eat crap, can not recover in time to go again. Feed your body good stuff you have more energy, you train harder, go faster and keep coming back for more.

Ohh, and fish oil, lots of fish oil.
