I went in for my semiannual blood work about a week and a half ago. Know that I’m not terribly concerned with my lipid panel results, but it is very interesting to track the changes over time in response to following a paleo/primal diet plan. So, without further adieu, here are my latest results: Glucose, [...]

Just took some measurements of my waist, arm, chest and thigh to compare against my last measurements from August 18, 2009. I’ve dropped almost 5 inches from my waist and almost 3 inches from my chest. My thigh put on about half an inch, but I’d expect that with the gains I’ve made on my [...]
