Great write up Todd

Congrats on your changes and your new found direction.

Was at the Route 66 Nationals this Sunday and met Danni Allen the winner of last season Biggest Loser. Got a lot of great weight lose tips. Hard to believe this girl was almost 260 pounds!

That is a pretty awesome list of things to be proud of Todd. Most people just don't care, I'm glad to hear of those who do.

Kelli has already bought me gluten free bread and other goodies to give it the old college try. I'm hoping for similar results to you guys. :relax:

Tony, I don't eat that much dairy. I'll have a few spoon fulls of greek yogurt with berries once a day at the most. It is non fat but certified organic. I could step it up a notch to higher fat content. I think I'll make one change with the wheat and then try cutting out the dairy. I do consume some shredded cheese and it does have a good amount of saturated fat. I'll eat red meat once a week at the least for that very reason. I do consume lots of olive oil in Kelli's cooking and on salads.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Mine was the same way at first. I was looking for bread "filler" because I was hungry alot. I just kept grabbing a banana, carrots, apples, anything. I never let myself starve, I just ate something else. The craving for 'filler' does subside to just about nothing.

If it were me, I would ditch the greek yogurt. With no fat and the sugar added, I don't see the benefit of it. I would substitute a hard boiled egg.

ps. I tried some of this for the first time this weekend. Gluten free beer, and it is awesome.

Thanks fellas. It's been very rewarding. I'm in Big Bear Lake, CA relaxing for the weekend. I'm going to take a jog around the lake tomorrow to get in my 4th workout this week. :)

Tony, the yogurt does have some protein and serves as a dessert for me. I used to be a big ice cream eater.

My son was an ice cream freak! But when we figured out him and his sis were having reactions to dairy, that kinda put the kibosh on that. I got to hand it to him, he's fine going without, he even turned down chocolate milk at his buddies house, and said no thanks to Gatorade since it was the G2 stuff with aspartame in it.

On a good day the wife will make us all homemade ice cream from chocolate almond milk. That is some good stuff, without all the extra sugar and dairy.

I'm 100 pages into "The China Study". I'm really enjoying it so far. I'll post some of the hi-lites once I get a little deeper. I will say that dairy is already a small part of my diet, but it will become even smaller along with other animal proteins.

I fell off the Gluten Free diet on vacation. :wacko:

I read that they really don't use any dairy in China, and their breast cancer rates are super low too. However, I don't know if the problem is dairy itself, its probably all the GMO grain feed, growth hormones, antibiotics and horrible factory living conditions that our dairy comes from. Same with all animal products.

Fill me more when you have a chance.

I've been snooping this thread for awhile. Its nice to see other people following the Paleo style of eating. I found out about Paleo a few years ago but never really tried it until a year ago or so. I do love it, makes me feel so much better! I was going good at it for quite a few months then kind of stopped, then back and forth but for the past month have been back at it.

Mind you I'm not allergic to anything...but after reading up on what is Paleo and the ideas behind it, its harder to eat carb loaded food now. I still do from time to time, but notice a drop in energy and then my waist will start to grow.

Love this thread, it's very motivational!

Glad to hear it! One thing that we all need to keep in mind is that the same approach to health, diet, and exercise won't work for everybody. It really takes experience through consistency to find your way to better health.

I also think it's important to separate the three.

Health: Body is free of disease and you have no underlying issues that need medical attention.

Diet: Healthy nutrition that is cemented through a lifestyle change initiated by education.

Exercise: A program that you can do consistently and enjoy. We aren't all made to run marathons or bench press 500 lbs. Find you sweet spot.

Personally, I'm still working to improve all three.

Health: I'm having a sleep study done next week for sleep apnea and getting a 2nd opinion for my badly deviated septum. It's likely my septum is the sleeping problem but the doc wants to verify before I go under the knife just incase they need to bore out my throat as well. :wacko:

Diet: I'm still experimenting and reading new books. I stay lean with my current nutrition but I'm constantly trying new foods to see if I can feel the difference.

Exercise: I'm always adding new exercises but I need to get better about going outside the box here.
