Rest day

I just got done reading Gary Taube's new book, Why We Get Fat and I would highly recommend it. It is a much easier read than his earlier book Good Calories Bad Calories which was too lengthy and technical. His new book has a lot of the same stuff in it, but is just way easier and more enjoyable to read. I feel like I am much more knowledgable about nutrition now that I have read Taube's new book and Robb Wolf's Paleo Solution.

It's been a little more than a month now (33 days) that I have been eating a fairly low-carb diet, I'd say about 85% strict paleo and I'm feeling great. I haven't had too many cravings for sweet things, and my energy levels have been consistent throughout the day. I feel like I am eating less frequently and I'm probably eating fewer calories than before even though I'm not really trying to do that. I have to say that I really am enjoying the diet, I really don't mind eating a steak almost every day. There's this great place up here in Tampa called Renzo's that sells Argentine style flank and skirt steak with chimichurri sauce that is freaking amazing. I could pretty much eat there everyday. At any rate, I'm still making progress with the weight loss. I'm at 192lbs as of this morning and so I'm down a total of 8lbs in only 33 days, and I really can't complain about the results that come from eating paleo.

Day 21 of Living the Paleo Lifestyle

When I originally set my goal for weight loss at the beginning of the paleo challenge, it was 6lbs. for the first month. After the first week, it looked like that goal was going to be too easy to meet so I revised it to 10lbs. As of this morning, I'm down 7.6lbs and well in range of hitting the revised goal. The important thing is that I am confident that none of this weight loss has been muscle loss. In fact, if anything I may have increased muscle from the Crossfit wods and from eating higher quality foods like grassfed beef jerky. I've been getting plenty of protein and fat, and keeping the portions reasonable but not restricting calories. I basically just eat until I am full and satisfied. It turns out when you are eating things like steak, salmon, vegetables, etc. it's really damn hard to overeat like you could if you were eating junk food like pizza. I guess the bottom line is that while looking at the numbers on the scale go down is great, I am more focused on making eating about an 85% strict paleo diet into a habit and a lifestyle. If I can do that, the body fat will melt away and I will continue to get more lean until I reach an ideal body weight.
