We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
Do you take measurements? I’m terrible at that myself but if you are losing FAT and gaining MUSCLE your weight may not change but your body composition will. A pound is a pound but muscle takes up less space! - Jpv, 11/22/19

NEVER GIVE UP! You can surprise yourself! I have.
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

11/29 122.5 I know this is temporary. We went to Golden Corral, I had turkey, 2 Brussels sprouts, and salad. I made a cheesecake but turned my regular recipe keto. DH pronounced it delish, I didn’t even want dessert. Pretty sure I have his cold. I was under on calories and macros but last night I was craving pickles so had some Vlasic zesty dills.
11/30 121.0 I have Carl’s cold and hardly ate anything yesterday.

@quiltingjane Thank you! It's nice to see you, again, too. And, CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR WEIGHT LOSS! Hope you feel better, too.
11/29 156
11/30 156.6 Am happy that was all I gained, as yesterday was not planned at all.
12/01 155.6 Stuck with my meal plans, yesterday, and was happy to see this.
12/2 = 156.6 Well, I'm not surprised cause I blew it, yesterday, and had 2 slices of pie.Why? just a weak moment & the temptation of this whole beautiful pie that was going to be thrown away. I took it home for my husband & then dove in, too. What a nut! I can & will do better!

Hi everyone, I'm back for another round, only my 2nd one so far. The day after Thanksgiving seems like a great starting point. I'm hoping this challenge and another I'm doing will help me get through the Holidays without any weight gain.
69 y/o female and 5'7" still (luckily)! I started this journey on Sept 17 2013 and lost 45 lbs the first year, then another 15 over the next 2 years. Unfortunately the last couple of years I've put that 15 back on. No excuses though. My goal is to lose 10 lbs from 165 to 155 and then re-evaluate whether I think I can get back down to 150.
Started R95 at 165 lbs
Ended R95 at 162.7 lbs
R97 CW: 162.9 lbs (on Thanksgiving morning)
R97 GW: 161 lbs
11/29: 163.6 Not a bad post-Thanksgiving bump. Off to the gym and some Christmas shopping
11/30: 163.1 Had sushi yesterday as a break from furniture shopping but managed to stay in control. Still carrying a bit of Thanksgiving extras but hopefully by Monday that will be gone
12/01: 162.6 On the way down again and hopefully I can keep that trajectory. Off to the gym for back and biceps
12/02: 161.8 Slowly but surely I'm going down17 -
Round 97:
Female, 57 yy, 4'11''
OSW: 177.1 lbs
LTG: 105 - 110.0 lbs or BF 23-25% (or lower, we’ll see :-)
STG: 110 (next milestone)
Goals for 10 Day Challenge: 110
Day/Weight/Comment
EW round 96: 111.2, BF% 26.4
Day/Weight/Comment
11/29 111.8, BF% 26.7% The Thanksgiving bump is on par with weekend bumps (higher calories + wine) and complete rest day yesterday so in reality not too bad!!!. This is at the start of a long weekend, so it may go up more before coming down, but sharing wonderfood with family makes it all worth while! Did have strength workout with trainer today as well as spin class, so getting back on track!
11/30 111.2, BF% 26.4 Yes! Back to low of last round. Good workout in spin class this morning. (realized I had a typo in weight yesterday so corrected it!)
12/01 111.4, BF 26.5% up a little, but within normal range of variability at this point. Did weight training workout this morning and went out for lunch with family (tacos!) and to see Frozen II. Did not have time to get to spin class in the evening, so used the elliptical at home for cardio. Used up leftover pumpkin puree to make a curried pumpkin soup with shrimp! NSV: went shopping to get a new winter coat as old large coat is too big! The XS fit though the waist and the hips, but was snug through the chest (fortunately have not lost all the body fat there yet, so went with the small so that I can wear sweaters underneath! Nice to not look like the stay puff marshmallow man!
12/02 113.2, BF% 27.1 Not sure where this bump came from - DOMS, inflamation, food retention, sodium, lack of sleep? Delayed outcome from last Thursday??? Oh well… Food/exercise are on track (better than most Mondays) so hoping it comes off as fast as it appeared! Busy day at work, so will hit the gym later - either spin class or pilates

11/29 – 269.8 I had a great day yesterday, I stayed on track and under calories, but still enjoyed everything I wanted. It didn’t hurt that we had our meal a little early so I was able to skip lunch and have a little more of a couple things. Now today will be another story because we’re putting up our tree and ordering in pizza. I’ll probably see a temporary bounce, but I’m trying to plan to minimize the potential damage.
11/30 – 271.6 We had pizza and dessert, so I was expecting a bounce up today. I was still a little under maintenance so I know that the bounce will be only be temporary.
12/01 – 271.4
12/02 – 268.8 Back down plus some so I’m pretty happy with this. I was under the weather yesterday and took it very easy because it came with a fever. I’ll see what I think I’m up for today, but with MS I’m always afraid to push too hard when I’m sick, especially when it involves a fever. Either way I am not going to use being under the weather as an excuse to overeat.

@StatChicBayes - curried pumpkin soup and shrimp sounds wonderful! Care to share the recipe?!
@LisaW57 can remember most of the recipe but will post later today when back at home to get it right! It is a slightly modified version of the Curried Butternut Squash soup by Ben Barker of the former Magnolia Grill restaurant from the cookbook "Not Afraid of Flavor". We use to go there every Friday after Thanksgiving for a break from the Thanksgiving leftovers! We also made the Lemon Pecan Tart with molasses ice cream from Karen Barker (his wife was the pastry chef there). Miss the restaurant, but can at least attempt to bring back memories!4 -

11/29 162.9 Thanksgiving bump. Should be gone in a day or two. Just one more dinner this weekend. Still to dreary to walk too much but we'll see. Working from home today, so far still in pj's, but working on a powerpoint.
11/30 163.0
12/01 163.2
12/02 163.0 I swear I am retaining at least 2 pounds of water and have been for over a week. Oh well. It will come off. Why do I struggle with this idea EVERY TIME. I walked 5 on Saturday, and none yesterday because I had my last Thanksgiving with my Dad and step-Mom. Great day with them and the Chiefs crushed the Raiders. I won't be able to go to the gym tonight too many errands. So I'll walk tomorrow, it's supposed to be warmer anyway. I track my walking thru MapmyFitness but keep a log from that. I have walked over 500 miles this year and I still have all of December. Just think if I hadn't pulled that stupid muscle I might be at 600 miles. That's kind of incredible for me to think about. Ninety percent of that is outside, in the cold, in the rain occasionally, fell three times on the ice last winter. All over the country - Mississippi, Colorado, Washington D.C., Kansas City, St. Louis and Phoenix! It's December time for reflection.

Yes, Thanksgiving, I ate too much. Back on track today, though I am going to have one modest slice of pumpkin pie. But no more dressing! Turkey leftovers, of course. I have to bake a cake for a celebration of life for a friend tomorrow, but i can’t sample, so that works. Definitely not shopping! (I may have to buy some yarn on line, though — I’m itching to knit.) wishing you all a fabulous weekend, whether you’re part of the post-TG crowd or elsewhere!

Forgot to weigh before eating. My schedule is off — a wonderful friend died yesterday, much too young, of pancreatic cancer, and I’m going to a Celebration of Life for another friend today. I couldn’t get to sleep last night — many thoughts banging around in my head.
12/1 - 172
Thanks, everyone, for your kind thoughts. The Celebration was both sad and uplifting, which is, of course, the point. I ate too many comfort foods — I.e., chocolate things — and felt bloated all evening. Onward.
12/2 - 173
There’s the delayed reaction from Thurs-Sat. It’s ok, but also set off blaring alarm bells and I think I’m finally awake. Plan in place for today and the rest of the week re. food. I’m hoping to get to the Y today, but have the Master Gardener final Wed. and a commissioned painting to finish by Friday, so I may not get there. If not, I have promised myself to put on my warmers and walk the 20-min neighborhood loop two or three times during the afternoon. Hold me to that!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/29--207.9 No surprise after Thanksgiving. I hardly drank any water yesterday. Yesterday I went out and did the 5k Turkey Trot, and then took dog out for a long walk. The weather was perfect. I am making sure to get my water in today, and I am thinking of going to the gym later today, but still not sure if I should just rest instead.
11/30--207.2 I went to the gym yesterday evening even though I so didn't want to. This morning I went out and finished w6d1 of c25k and then took dog out for a long trail walk. I'm going to do a few errands this afternoon, and then relax for the rest of the evening.
12/01--207.6 Definitely an up and down on the scale these last few days even though I'm eating within my calories, so I'm concentrating more on my successes with my running and my working out. Today I met with up with my strength coach.
12/02--208.5 Ugh!

Back for Round 97
Female / Age 62 / 5'2"
OW: 158.5 (12/30/18)
UG: 135.0 (for now, healthy weight for me)
Intro:Let me introduce myself. I struggled with my weight as a teen, topping out at nearly 200. I dropped it after high school and got to a healthy weight. Every major life changed has brought weight back on - having kids, pre-menopause, menopause, family tragedy, post menopause. I've knocked it back down each time, and have been surprised that each time required a different strategy, and resulted in a different type of lifestyle change to maintain. Each time as been much harder and slower. At this point, it's moving off at a snail's pace.
Motivation. I have a hyatial hernia. It does not bother me as long as I keep the weight at 150 or below. Every female on my mother's side has had arthritic knees, and I'm starting to feel twinges. They have also sustained falls and broken bones. My husband had a major health scare a coupe of years ago. The idea of being put out of commission by a preventable injury or illness scares the bejimminies out of me.
Goals. The goals at this stage are to drop weight to a healthy range, realign my eating style to a lifestyle that will keep me healthy into my golden years, and strengthen the muscles that support my knees, ankles, and shoulders, along with my core, to prevent injury.
Dropping weight post menopausal has been so difficult, I need this to be the last time. 10-15 pounds used to be easy to drop, so that was always my warning bell to focus. Not so much now. Looks like a 3-5 pound fluctuation will be it.
A healthy weight for me is 135-140. I've always looked anorexic at 120. We'll see how things are at 135, and go from there.
Round StatsR95: SW 146.3 GW 146.0 EW 145.3 Results -1.0
R96: SW 145.3 GW 144.0 EW 145.0 Results - 0.3
Strategy: Up the hydrating foods. Fruit with breakfast. Salad/veggies as bulk of lunch. Healthy dinner. Limit/eliminate processed carbs and sugars. Zero calorie intake after 8pm. Strength exercises 3 days on/1 day rest. Regular movement through day to compensate for desk job.
R97 Challenges: Getting back on track after Thanksgiving. I'll be starting December off with a Hydration Challenge to increase the amount of plant based hydration in my diet.
R97 SW: 145.0
R97 GW: 144.0
11/29 (F) 145.3 Not too bad a bump for Thanksgiving. Seems the increased activity (even with skipping the strength workouts) and my lightened up dinner menu was effective. Forced myself to have a light breakfast, and nibbled on raw veggies for lunch while prepping dinner. Are moderately, but it was still pretty carb and sodium heavy. Didn't get as much water as I should have. May see another bump tomorrow from the leftovers, but I did get both a strength workout and some aerobics in today.
11/30 (S) 145.6 Leftovers. Pretty much figured that. Glad it wasn't any worse. There's still a few left in the fridge, but I'm done with the heated up plates and turkey sandwiches. I can work what's left into lighter meals. Today is a strength workout rest day, but I'll shoot for getting my steps in a a short round of aerobics.
12/01 (S) 145.5 Ok. 1\10. I'll take it. Yesterday was on the high side of my calorie range and sodium was up a tad, but I was pretty close to the eating plan. I did get in a 20 minute aerobic session. It was late evening and I had to force it, but I got it in. Trend weight pulled down another 10th - so confident I'm past the holiday bump.
12/02 (M) 145.0 Yes! Mindful of my eating yesterday. Did not feel too well, so slugged my steps and workout. Today is day one of the Quench 5-Day Plan. Not as much of a diet as it is a way to increase more efficient plant-based hydration.
Morning smoothie was only 97 calories, and not particularly filling - so probably not a sustainable breakfast substitution. The plan makes using that morning smoothie as breakfast optional. I'll either need to make it more substantial, or make sure breakfast is light to stay within calorie range.

12/02 129 Hey, everyone! Missed you! I've had some time away and I so clearly need to get back into the habit of daily check-ins. Everything that got me to maintenance will KEEP me in maintenance, and I've creeped up slightly past my comfortable maintenance range with Thanksgiving (+) leftovers (+) baking (+) some major life stresses over the past two weeks (sudden unemployment, woohoo!).
I was feeling great at around 125-126 for weeks and weeks until I let things slip at the end of November, and I want to catch myself now before I blub up too much and lose all my months of hard work. Already feeling squishier with only a 3-lb gain, and we all know how quickly a few pounds turns into ten.
For the rest of this round, I will: (1) log every bite (2) fast until noon (3) stay within my calories (4) post my weigh-in here. The four steps that helped me lose in the first place will help me refocus. Anyway, hi again!

Day | Weight | Delta | Steps | Log | Comments
11/29 | 134.3kg | -0.7kg | 8,344 steps ✅ | 2,682 calories ❌ | Sodium blip be gone! I was hoping yesterday's high weight was just sodium-related and it seems that was the case. I was well over on calories yesterday, I just felt so hungry when I got home from work. I did burn some extra calories but not as many as I ate.
Got lots of steps in and feeling good about doing the same today.
11/30 | 134.1kg | -0.2kg | 5,891 steps ❌ | 2,563 calories ❌ | Ate at maintenance calorie level, not on purpose. Fridays get me most weeks! I have a feeling the scale direction is more related to dehydration than anything else!
12/01 | DNW | 4,639 steps ❌ | Did not track
12/02 | 133.9kg | -0.2kg | 4,491 steps ❌ | Did not track | Had visitors again over the weekend, so I ate and drank far too much junk. So I am very surprised to see this drop in weight - I can only put it down to dehydration since I ate poorly and didn't exercise!
12/03 | 134.6kg | +0.7kg | 7,996 steps ✅ | 2,292 calories ❌ | I was expecting my weight to go back up as I rehydrated yesterday, but this is a bit more than I'd expected. I was over on calories a little, but still recorded a deficit so I can only put this down to a combination of rehydration and water retention from my high sodium intake yesterday. Hopefully that means it will drop off a bit in the coming days. Got my 30 mins of intentional exercise in yesterday too - walking in place while hiding in the ladies' room at work for 5-10 mins at a time

Female, 5’, 66 years. SW – 164.4, GW – 163 something, UGW – 140. (This really should be 125 or 130 but that seems like such a long ways to go and 140 would be a huge improvement.)
Goals – finish calorie log each day, 30 min. of movement every day (thanks, that idea from @twistedsassette), gym 2-3 times a week, only yogurt or fruit in the evening and nothing after 9 p.m.
Last few rounds I’ve been ever so gradually creeping up. Going to the gym seems to have headed me back in the right direction. How could I forget that movement seems to be my key to loss? Have also refused to buy any “treat” items lately.

I had a rough busy year where I stopped taking care of myself completely. It hit me when I hit that magic 200 lb number after the Holiday. I need some encouragement and others keeping me on track! Don't have much time for work outs, but focusing on cutting down the alcohol consumption and upping the water consumption while also working back into dirty Keto - which worked for me last time around.

Lifestyle Plan: What is Primal Blueprint?https://www.marksdailyapple.com/primal-blueprint-101/
The Primal Blueprint is a set of simple instructions (the blueprint) that allows you to control how your genes express themselves in order to build the strongest, leanest, healthiest body possible, taking clues from evolutionary biology (that’s the primal part).
Sometimes we get so lost in the science of human biology we just can’t see the forest for the trees. We overlook the simplicity and ease with which we could all be achieving exceptional health and fitness.
Living in modern society is extremely complex. With daily mind-boggling achievements made in science, technology and medicine, and with an ever-expanding knowledge base that increasingly grows more esoteric and niche, it is no wonder that we often look for complicated scientific solutions to problems that really only require simple answers. One of the best examples is the huge – and expensive – race to identify all the new possible genetic variances (or SNPs) within the human genome that might predispose some of us to certain health conditions. Hardly a week goes by without a new announcement of the discovery of a so-called “defective” gene that increases someone or some group’s risk of being obese, of getting cancer, of developing type 2 diabetes or arthritis. The net effect of all these announcements and the sensationalized news headlines is that many of us have become accustomed to blaming our health conditions on our unlucky inheritance of these “defective” genes. As if it weren’t enough to abdicate responsibility here, we then cross our fingers and close our eyes and hope that the scientists can create pharmaceutical “answers” to our particular condition before it’s too late. In most cases a few lifestyle adjustments are all that are needed to address all but the most serious of these genetic variations. Yes, I agree that some serious genetic diseases exist which are best treated with modern, truly life-saving drugs, but for the vast majority of the minor genetic variations that exist throughout the human genome, the real deciding factor as to whether or not a particular gene will be expressed in a particular manner, if at all, comes down to what you eat, how you move, what kind of air you breathe, what you think – in other words your environment. Big Pharma (CW) doesn’t want us to believe that most of our ills can be so easily solved, and so billions of dollars are being spent to unlock the so-called secrets of the genome. Meanwhile, the real secrets – and solutions – are contained within the DNA of every single one of our cells.
The essence of the Primal Blueprint is this: Most of life is really much simpler than modern medicine and science would like to have you believe. You can have a tremendous impact on how your genes express themselves, simply by providing your cells the right environments. All you need is a basic understanding of how your body works and a simple philosophical roadmap you can use to find answers to just about any questions of health and fitness – whether it involves personal choices or lifestyle adjustments or whether medical intervention might be appropriate. With this simple strategy, you will forever be able to examine or evaluate any food choice, any form of exercise or any other behavior in the context of how it impacts your genes! Even if you decide to opt for a “bad choice”, at least you’ll know why it’s bad…
You may already have a pretty fair understanding of how the human genome evolved to exactly where it is today (or 10,000 years ago, to be more precise) based on the environmental and behavioral factors under which our ancestors lived through natural selection. Tens of thousands of anthropologists, evolutionary biologists, paleontologists, geneticists and others have worked for over 100 years to piece together a fairly detailed picture of all the elements that helped influence our development as a species. Ironically though, when we examine all of the many environmental influences and behaviors that shaped our genome, we arrive at a very simple list of general things our early ancestors did to become what and who they were and which allowed them to pass 99.9% of those genes down to us. In essence, this list is the original “Primal Blueprint” since it provided the only set of behaviors they knew – the exact behaviors that enabled then to shape their bodies into healthy, robust, happy beings.
The Original Primal Blueprint® – The Rules of Living 10,000 Years Ago:
1. Eat lots of animals, insects and plants. This is the basic description of everything our ancestors ate to get the protein, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phenols, fiber, water and other nutrients necessary to sustain life. But it was a huge list of individual foods – some anthropologists say it may have been 200 or 300 food choices at a time depending upon the geographic area. The net result was a dietary “breakdown” of fat, protein and carbohydrate that was far different from what Conventional Wisdom considers optimum today. This diet provided all the necessary fuel and building blocks that, along with specific exercise, prompted their genes to create strong muscles, enabled them to expend lots of energy each day moving about, to maintain healthy immune systems, to evolve larger brains and to raise healthy children. They ate sporadically, too. When food was plentiful, they ate more than they needed (and stored the excess as fat). When times were scarce, they survived on fat stores. This random or “non-linear” eating pattern kept their bodies in a constant state of preparedness.
2. Move around a lot at a slow pace. We know that our ancestors spent an average of several hours each day moving about at what today’s exercise physiologists might describe as a “low level aerobic pace.” They hunted, gathered, foraged, wandered, scouted, migrated, climbed and crawled. This low level of activity prompted their genes to build a stronger capillary (blood vessel) network to fuel each muscle cell, to be able to store some excess food as fat, but also to be readily able to convert the stored fat back into energy. Of course, they did all this without the benefit of paved sidewalks or comfortable shoes. Because every footfall landed at a different angle, every muscle, tendon and ligament worked and became stronger together in balance. Note that they did NOT go out and “jog” at 80% of their MAX Heart Rate for long periods of time as Conventional Wisdom suggests today!
3. Lift heavy things. The women carried their babies much of the time (hey, no babysitters in those days), as well as bundles of firewood, or whatever they had gathered, foraged or scavenged. The men carried heavy spears or other tools, they dragged heavy carcasses of animals they had hunted, and they moved large boulders or logs to build shelters. They also lifted themselves into trees or up onto higher ground when escaping from danger or to scout a new route. The biochemical signals created by these very brief but intense muscle contractions generated a slight surge in growth hormone and a reduction in myostatin gene expression, prompting an increase in muscle size and power; particularly fast twitch fibers.
4. Run really fast every once in a while. In a world where danger lurked around every corner, your ability to run was a strong indicator of whether you would live long enough to pass your genes down to the next generation. (Note to Nietzsche: That which didn’t kill Grok made him stronger). Avoiding a charging beast to save your life, or surging forward to catch a different beast for dinner, the net effect was still survival. A combination of the hormonal events that occurred simultaneously and the resultant gene expression within fast twitch muscle made sure that the next time this happened Grok could sprint a little faster.
5. Get lots of sleep. Our ancestors got plenty of sleep. Even after the discovery of fire, it wasn’t as if they stayed up all night partying. From sunset to sunrise it was safer to huddle together and rest. Long days of hunting and gathering and otherwise working hard for every bite of food also required sufficient time to repair and recover. Studies of modern hunter-gatherers suggest it wasn’t necessarily always an uninterrupted nine or ten hours, either. It’s likely that they slept together as families or as small tribes, keeping a watch out for predators, breast-feeding the baby or just dozing in and out throughout the night. Growth hormone and melatonin were the major hormonal players. Of course, the occasional afternoon nap was also available when the urge hit, with no guilt about what else they really should have been doing.
6. Play. Just like in modern times, all work and no play made Grok a dull boy. Hunter-gatherers have always generally worked fewer hours and have had more leisure time than the average 40-hour-plus American worker. Once the day’s catch was complete or the roots, shoots, nuts and berries had been gathered, our ancestors spent hours involved in various forms of social interaction that we might categorize today as “play.” Young males would chase each other around and wrestle, vying for a place higher up in the tribe social strata. The males might also practice spear- or rock-throwing for accuracy or chase small animals just for sport. Young females might spend time grooming each other. To the extent that play was considered enjoyable, the net effect was to solidify social bonds and to prompt the release of endorphins (feel-good brain chemicals) and to mitigate any lingering stress effects of life-threatening situations.
7. Get some sunlight every day. Cavemen weren’t really men (or women) who lived their lives in caves all the time. Most of the day, they were in the great outdoors pursuing their various survival tasks. Regular exposure to sun provided lots of vitamin D, an all-important vitamin which they could not easily obtain from food and which their bodies could not manufacture without direct sunlight.
8. Avoid trauma. Our ancestors required an acute sense of self-preservation matched with a keen sense of observation. Always scanning, smelling, listening to the surroundings, on the watch for danger, aware of what immediate action needed to be taken, whether it was running from a saber-tooth tiger, dodging a falling rock, eluding a poisonous snake, or just avoiding a careless footfall. Remember that a twisted knee or a broken ankle could spell death to anyone who couldn’t run away from danger. In fact, it was probably trauma (or a brief careless lapse in judgment) that was most responsible for the low average life expectancy of our ancestors, despite their otherwise robust good health. Avoid trauma and there was a very good chance you could live to be 60 or 70 – and be extremely healthy and fit. Modern day hunter gatherers maintain strength and health often well into their 80s.
9. Avoid poisonous things. Man’s ability to exploit almost every corner of this earth was partly predicated on his ability to consume vastly different types of plant and animal life. But moving into a new environment and trying new foods posed a danger that the new food might contain potent toxins. Luckily, our liver and kidneys evolved to handle most brushes with novel-but-slightly-poisonous plant matter – at least to keep us alive anyway if the stomach didn’t regurgitate it first. Our keen senses of smell and taste also helped us sort out the good from the bad. The reason we have a sweet tooth today (dammit) is probably an evolved response to an almost universal truth in the plant world that just about anything that tastes sweet is safe to eat.
10. Use your mind. Obviously, one of the most important things that separate man from all other animals is his intellectual ability. The rapid increase in the size of our brains over just a few thousand generations is the combined result of a high-fat, high protein diet (see rule #1) and a continued reliance on complex thought – working the brain out just like a muscle. Hunter gatherers all around the world have developed language, tools and superior hunting methods independently. The fact that some haven’t entered the industrial age doesn’t mean they don’t possess the same ability to process information rapidly and effectively (try living in a jungle where you need to catalog thousands of different plant and animal species, knowing which can kill you and which can sustain you).
That’s it.
That’s the full – albeit general – list of behaviors that shaped our current genome (OK, I left out the sex part because that kind of goes without saying. On the other hand, having sex with your partner IS a natural part of the Primal Blueprint. I’ll cover it in a future post)…
If there’s any doubt on your part about whether or not we should emulate our ancestors’ behavior (but in a context of a modern world) let’s at least agree that we are looking to achieve some very similar benefits. Certainly, we all want to be:
Healthy
Ideally, we’d never want to be sick. We’d want to be in the best possible health all of the time.
Energetic
We’d want to have lots of energy to do all the fun things life has to offer and not feel like we are dragging at any point during the day.
Happy
No one wants to be depressed or miserable. It’s no way to go through life. We want a reason to get out of bed every day and take on all the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
Lean
We’d want to be in a metabolically balanced state where we burn off our excess or stored fat, where we find a point at which we have enough fat to be healthy, but we rarely (or never) store any more additional fat.
Strong
Let’s face it: we’d want muscles that not only look great in a bathing suit, but that serve us well in allowing us to move, to play, and to stay balanced throughout that movement. That means well-balanced strength with proportional muscles.
Bright
We’d want full access to our mental faculties, to be bright and alert, creative, focused when appropriate, able to recall all the great memories, etc.
Productive
We’d certainly want to feel as if we are contributing to ourselves, our family and society.
We know from evolutionary biology that our ancestors exemplified all the above healthy traits (as I will detail later). Those may or may not have been their stated goals, but those attributes certainly allowed them to survive the rigors of a hostile environment and be in a position to pass their traits along to the next generation, and finally, to us.
Now, understanding that everything we do, eat, think and breathe can affect our 10,000-year-old genes, how does that Original Primal Blueprint compare to what we might have to do today to achieve robust good health, a well-sculpted body, a strong immune system, boundless energy and an increase in productivity – all the goals we are after? Ironically, it’s almost the exact same thing.
The Modern Primal Blueprint® – The Rules of Living Today:
1. Eat lots of animals, insects and plants. Focus on quality sources of protein (all forms of meat, fowl, fish), lots of colorful vegetables, some select fruits (mostly berries), and healthy fats (nuts, avocados, olive oil). Observe portion control (calorie distribution) week to week more than meal to meal. Eliminate grains, sugars, trans- and hydrogenated fats from your diet.
2. Move around a lot at a slow pace. Do some form of low level aerobic activity 2-5 hours a week, whether it is walking, hiking, easy bike riding or swimming. Ideally, and when possible, find time to go barefoot or wear as little foot support as possible. Low-level activity is necessary (especially if you find yourself chained to a desk every day). The combined effect will be an increase in capillary perfusion, fat-burning and overall integration of muscle strength and flexibility.
3. Lift heavy things. Go to the gym and lift weights for 30-45 minutes, 2-3 times a week. Focus on movements that involve the entire body and in wider ranges of motion – not just on isolating body parts. Emulate the movements of our ancestors: jumping, squatting, lunging, pushing, pulling, twisting, etc. This will stimulate your genes to increase muscle strength and power, increase bone density, improve insulin sensitivity, stimulate growth hormone secretion, and consume stored body fat.
4. Run really fast every once in a while. Do some form of intense anaerobic sprint bursts several times a week. This could be as simple as six or eight (or more) short sprints up a hill, on the grass, at the beach… or repeated intense sessions on a bicycle (stationary, road or mountain bike). These short bursts also increase HGH release (HGH is actually released in proportion to the intensity (not the duration) of the exercise).
5. Get lots of sleep. Get plenty of quality sleep. Our lives are so hectic and full of things to do after the sun goes down that it’s often difficult to get enough sleep. Yet sleep is one of the most important factors in maintaining good health, vibrant energy and a strong immune system.
6. Play. Spend some time each week involved in active play. In addition to allowing you to apply your fitness to a real-life situation, play helps dissipate some of the negative effects of the chronic stress hormones you’ve been accumulating through the week.
7. Get some sunlight every day. Contrary to the“Common Wisdom” dispensed by dermatologists (who suggest you shun the sun), the Primal Blueprint would insist that you get some direct sunlight every day. Certainly not so much that you come close to burning, but definitely enough to prompt your body to make the all-important vitamin D and to support the mood-lifting benefits. A slight tan is a good indicator that you have maintained adequate Vitamin D levels. Natural sunlight also has a powerful mood-elevating effect, which can enhance productivity at work and in inter-personal interactions.
8. Avoid trauma. Eliminate self-destructive behaviors. These concepts are self evident to most people (wear seat belts, don’t smoke or do drugs, don’t dive into shallow water) yet so many of us live our lives oblivious to impending danger. Develop a keen sense of awareness of your surroundings.
9. Avoid poisonous things.
Avoid exposure to chemical toxins in your food (pesticides, herbicides, chemicals, etc) and on your skin. But also try to avoid the hidden poisons in foods like sugars, grains, processed foods, trans and hydrogenated fats, and mercury in certain fish.
10. Use your mind. Exercise your brain daily as our ancestors did. Be inventive, creative, and aware. If your work is not stimulating (or even if it is), find time to read, write, play an instrument and interact socially.
As with the Original Primal Blueprint, this list is very general, designed simply to allow you to understand that everything our ancestors did can benefit us as well. Except that we can do it having fun, enjoying every aspect of the lifestyle and without worrying about our survival! In future blog posts (and to a much greater extent in my book) I will be going into much more detail as to how and why these behaviors work and exactly what foods to eat, what exercises to do and how to otherwise find ways to allow your genes to recreate you in the healthiest, fittest way possible.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/29 – 177.6 – Okay, that’s a big bounce for one day, but I’m not going to stress about it. I still have a house guest, more company coming later today, and a birthday party tomorrow, as well as a fridge full of really yummy leftovers, so I’m going to relax and enjoy it all. A few days of indulgence and then I’m back on track.
11/30 – 179.6 – Interesting. This is the biggest spike I’ve seen in nine months of generally consistent tracking (excluding vacations when I didn’t track my food or my weight). Experience tells me it’s mostly fluid retention, but it’s still startling to see. However, it’s just another data point for analysis. Friday was another splurge day. I was way over my calorie limit with lots of sodium, carbs, and sugar. Japanese takeout lunch, salty snacks, several hi-cal desserts. Board games and movies instead of a walk in the park. A couple of glasses of wine and not nearly enough water. I know that if this becomes a habit, I’m headed back up to where I started. So the choice is mine: continue to slack off and see a real gain or get back on track and keep working toward my goal.
12/01 – 178.8 – Moving back down after a day of more moderate eating. Spent the rainy day getting the Christmas boxes down from the attic and doing some decorating. Took another day off from logging, but paid more attention to portion sizes. Ended a lovely holiday weekend with mulled wine and the last of the pumpkin pie.
12/02 – 178.2 – Back to logging and maintaining a calorie deficit today. It was nice to take a break, but I’m ready to get back on track and work my way back down. (I generally type my comments each day in a Word document and post them at the end of the day. Between the company and the wine, I didn’t get them posted on MFP on Saturday or Sunday night. So I’m trying to get that done a little earlier tonight.)
