Intro
Hello Everyone,
Just thought I would introduce myself here. My name is Steve. I've been on MFP for a while now. I lost a ton of weight on the whole "conventional wisdom" thing. I put myself through P90, P90 Master Series, and P90X filled on up on lots of carbs, low fat, etc. It was fine until the progress stopped and I hit a huge plateau.
For the last 2 months I've been following Mark Sisson's Primal Blueprint and the results have been amazing. Since ditching grain and embracing fat, I've knocked off almost another 20 lbs, and almost another full pant size in the last month. My body fat has been dropping so much that my wedding ring fell off! The astonishing thing is that I have scaled back from working out 6 days a week at a very high level of intensity to going for daily walks, the occasional sprint, and lifting weights a couple times/week. I'm feeling better and my mood has been fantastic. Eating this way honestly feels like someone shot me full of pure sunshine...and it isn't actually difficult!
I'm not hungry anymore and I can easily go much longer between meals. I've also got to start exploring the wonders of a farmer's market, grass fed meats, and EV Coconut oil.
I'm hoping to be an active part of this group and learn a lot of delicious Paleo/Primal recipes.
