I Had No Idea That A Transformation Of This Kind Was Even Possible (Update From Robert) 6 Comments Monday, July 8th, 2013 Here’s an update from our friend Robert, featured in a previous testimonial here: http://robbwolf.com/2012/12/10/8-months-paleo-lost-70-pounds-people-recognize-me/Written by: RobertI started the Paleo program after being encouraged by my son, reading Robb’s book, listening to some pod casts and listening to several of Gary Taubes lectures on You Tube.  I began about the second week in May, 2012 and was 278lbs at that time.  It is now the end of the first week in July 2013 (so a year and two months later) and this morning my weight was 189lbs.  My ultimate goal is still four pounds away and I am still seeing my weight decrease.  But I don’t think my appearance will change significantly so here are the comparison pictures.  The 1st three are before the diet and the second four are within the last couple of weeks (last two this morning ).Before pics:After Pics:Our exercise routine never really changed.  We are both over 60.   We still try to walk 6 miles each morning at 4mph and do whatever manual labor is required to keep up two houses, lawns and woodpiles.  We have remained as Paleo as possible given the necessity to occasionally eat at someone’s home.  I would estimate that in general we are about 95% Paleo and when we are home, near 100%.  We have no symptoms or arthritis at all any more and intend to continue this type of diet as long as we can cook for ourselves.  We also have been herbalists for some time and often scavenge edible plants when we walk.  They have enabled us to try more truly (non-store bought) fruits and veggies and varied our diet.About a year and a half ago, I was driving somewhere and counting my blessings.  The only thing I could think of that might be a welcome improvement in life was to lose a few pounds.  I had no idea that a transformation of this kind was even possible.  Thanks for all you folks have done with your web site and pod casts to help me!  I now take no medication at all for anything.  I was on blood pressure meds for over 30 years but have been taken entirely off them by my doctor and have not felt this able and healthy since I was about 30.Good luck and best wishes,RobAbout Christopher Christopher Williams (a.k.a.

An ex-colleague read my #HealthyPuasa blog entry and sent me an email. I must say I am totally honored that she reads my blog! In the email, she asked me about doing fasting and she read a book about it. However, the book did not offer any guidance on how to start. Here is her email (name removed) and my response

10 Flares10 Flares × What are some reasons that people fast? For religious traditions or disciplines? To break eating habits? What about fasting for legitimate weight loss?I started intermittent fasting about three months ago and have seen some pretty good results. Now, roughly 10 pounds lighter, I’ve felt that the short bursts of fasts have allowed me to branch out from some eating habits like the 2nd cup of morning coffee, the afternoon sugar kick or the late night browsing in the fridge.The simple break in routine has helped me learn just how hungry I’m not and how often I eat when I don’t need to.The weight loss and diet industry can seem cluttered with new and trendy ways to keep off the extra pounds, but few of these suggestions actually stick

Best Weight Loss My Doctor Has Ever Seen! 3 Comments Monday, June 24th, 2013 I fall in the camp with those that say that your program probably saved their lives.  I am 63, and have been struggling with weight control and diabetes for about the past 15 years.I picked up The Paleo Solution in February and got interested as soon as I started reading.  About a year and a half ago I read a book called Wheat Belly and learned of the detrimental effects of wheat.  I cut out the wheat and lost weight and my A1C dropped from 7.4 to 6.8 in just a 3 month period

Compared to any other health supplement, research on intermittent fasting is scarce. After all, there is little money in telling people to eat less often. The bit of data that exists is very clear, however: intermittent fasting (IF) is extremely healthy no matter what your health goals.Most people have found intermittent fasting as a method of losing fat and gaining muscle. Indeed, there are tremendous hormonal changes involved with intermittent fasting that can allow practitioners to gain lean mass, but the anti-aging and disease prevention aspects are as important if not more so

When compared to whey isolate how does it stack up post workout. Could it also possibly be better for folk that cannot handle whey but still would like the advantages of liquid nutrition. thank you for your time.2

Right up there with the very well-marketed Paleo diet, intermittent fasting (IF) has achieved popular attention in the past year for its potential role in achieving rapid weight loss. But now there is mounting evidence that this approach to eating may have specific benefits for those with diabetes and cardiovascular disease.By Jean Fortunet (Own work) [CC-BY-1.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/1.0)], via Wikimedia CommonsIntermittent fasting can be implemented in various ways. Common approaches are Alternating days spent eating normally with days when calorie consumption is restricted; Taking two days each week and making them ‘fasting days;’ My favorite, proposed by Tieraona Low Dog MD (https://www NULL.facebook NULL.com/pages/Tieraona-Low-Dog-MD/462951583749633): ‘If there isn’t healthy food available, I just don’t eat.’ A mounting body of evidence in animal models and humans points to specific effectiveness of intermittent fasting for weight loss and treatment of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, most recently in a review article in the British Journal of Diabetes and Vascular Disease.  Link to original article here (http://dvd NULL.sagepub NULL.com/content/13/2/68 NULL.full).Compared to more invasive conventional medical methods of treating overweight and its complications, intermittent fasting looks downright reasonable.

On FitnessWe all want to get more for less, including a bigger payoff from our workouts in less time.High-intensity interval training (HIIT) helps you do that by improving your current fitness level in short sessions, working to increase your metabolism and cutting your workout sessions to a fraction of the time. Interval training alternates high-intensity bursts of exercise with periods of low-intensity exercise, or active rest. HIIT requires you to raise your heart rates to 85% or more of its maximum capacity.

by Chelsea Terris (I’m pretty sure this is the first guest blog post on EatBlogEat… Bold was added by me on the parts I really liked / found interesting)Losing weight and getting fit is all about the body, right?  Wrong. Undertaking any weight loss program, be it diet, exercise, or weight loss surgery, requires a complete shift in mental perception to establish true change.Ever lost weight but still functioned like an overweight person, feeling critical of your image in the mirror or engaging in habitual lack of confidence? The great Greek essayist Plutarch stated that “What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.” If this is true, then making changes to our bodies begins and ends in the mind, where seeds of success must be planted to bear hardbody fruit.Sound like a pile of motivational munbo jumbo?

It’s 12pm and I’m having my first meal. Not because I’m too busy to eat, hate breakfast, or I want to slow down my metabolism. It’s all part of the master plan I used to drop the most weight I EVER HAVE while maintaining the same body fat in only 30 days. Why did I do it? I told one of my old (young) college professors I would beat her in a half marathon, and in order to increase my speed I had to be lighter on my feet, which means dropping some serious LBS.
