in Success Stories
Someone told me the other day that I should post a thread of my success. So here goes...

6c9a651e.jpg?t=1346877590

I started off at 226.5 with a BF% of roughly 28-30%. I am now down to 182.4 with a BF% of approximately 14.2% I have been relatively strict Paleo for about 90% of the time I have been doing this and it is working awesome. My strength has drastically improved through my workouts and I am feeling better than ever!

Just thought I'd share :smile:

    Nice....CHEEKBONES! :)

    You have done such an amazing job! In 6 months you have kicked some serious butt and the results are there to see.

    For anyone who is looking for that miracle "pill" or fad that is going to get results like those? IT DOESN'T HAPPEN! You are living proof that determination, effort and eating clean equals success!

    Great job - you are an inspiration!

    I was told by a friend of mine who is trying to start running again, that Paleo is not the best if you are getting into running. Its kinda like a carb diet. Google it.


    Great Job PhilyPhresh!!!! (:

    Thank you so much!

    Real quick though...
    It really depends on how you look at it I guess. I don't necessarily want to turn this thread into an infamous Paleo thread... (so I probably shouldn't have said anything) but it isn't low carb by any means. You can still eat things such a sweet potatoes that are packed with carbs, you just can't eat grains and starches which are what typically are consumed when people think of "carbo loading". But Vegetables and fruit are LOADED with great carbohydrates... anyway, that was my schpeal... now back to how awesome I did... :laugh:

    I'm running and do Primal (Paleo with dairy, still low to moderate carb) and doing much better now than when I started running under the Standard American Diet (SAD). I know plenty of runners who do this diet.

    Great job PhilyPhresh! Guess that kind of success truly DOES make you qualified to hand out motivational stuff on your page. ;-)

    Wow great job. I can't wait to post some "after" pics myself. Maybe I can show this to my husband as some inspiration too. We're doing this together and he's already getting discouraged.

    Ok I just Googled Paleo and read the article on nerddiets or whatever. I laughed my *kitten* off the entire time. I just bought the Caveman's Cookbook because I'm definitely going to start MONDAY!!! You look freaking fabulous. In all honesty...is it easy to get used to?!

    It really is. It takes some getting used to though... I think it took a few weeks to really break me of my habits and what not... but I have been eating this way for about 10 months, really set into it in March though. I love it! There are so many recipes out there that freaking ROCK also... Feel free to let me know if you need any help with it or need a recipe or anything!

    Awesome job, man! Those pics are crazy. I like the profile one, too - really shows muscle definition on your back. Very impressive!
