You would think that after living for more than a half-century, I would have figured out how to eat.  However, I’m more confused about the subject than I’ve ever been. Just to be clear, when I say I don’t know how to eat, I’m not talking about actually using silverware to get the food to [...]

Today’s post is a mish-mash of thoughts.  These are some some disjointed things I have on my mind that I want to throw out for your consideration. Things Can Happen Fast We went up to Chicago this past weekend for a wedding.  It was a bit cool in Chicago and the wedding was held outside.  Even so, [...]

For the past couple of months I have been eating a diet that is high in protien, high in fat, and low in carbs (For an explanation of why I’m doing this, see my post entitled Re-Learning How to Eat).  I get my carbs primarily from fruits and vegetables, and I avoid grains completely. This [...]

I like Diet Coke.  It has been my drink of choice for several years.  I used to consume two large fast food Diet Cokes during the day, and I’d usually have another one with dinner.  It was not out of the question to have one or two more during the day as well. I hate [...]

In my last post, I talked about the importance of including achieving and maintaining good health in your lifestyle design plans.  I also talked about the Primal Blueprint, a book written by former endurance athlete Mark Sisson.  As I mentioned in the previous post, the Primal Blueprint just makes sense to me.  Because of that, [...]
