I replied to an Allwave thread.... in it I mentioned my considerable weight loss...
my buddy Leroy remarked on my comment, because it indicated the standard "Yoyo dieting" that many of us struggle with.

I searched this site for any mention of the "Primal" lifestyle and did not find any...

I am reposting my reply here, because my life was changed forever by a simple post on the "StandUpZone"......I hope fellow "Breezers" benefit from this post...

Leroy
the YoYo is OVER...Forever.
Since I went "Primal" I eat whatever I want, all I want, and I lose 1 lb every 2 or 3 days. I will never get heavy again. I really enjoy the "Primal" foods... they are all the things that my body naturally enjoys and are incredibly satisfying.
I have dropped from 262lbs (119k)on January 14th... to 219lbs (99k) right now... a steady 10 lbs (4.5k) a month, and I am putting NO effort into the weight loss... it just melts away.
So few small changes... I can't believe I missed this for the past 50 years.
44" waist to 37" and shrinking

I will NEVER go back to the old 40 year struggle of:
Low-fat
Low-cal
suffer crappy food for 6 months... gain it all back in 3 months of "regular" eating... it sucked.

Primal is based on good natural fats and naturally healthy food...
whole meat, eggs, poultry, seafood, veggies, nuts and berries
There is a lot of focus on food source..
Grass fed beef, free range eggs, no processed food, organic... yada yada... maximum nutritional benefits

Best part??? you can eat and enjoy whole fats in beef, eggs, bacon, avocados... and get healthier, because our bodies have evolved to thrive on these foods. I eat many, many more calories and fat than I ever did before... and the weight just melts away.

here is a great source of info:

Here's the link that got me interested on the "StandUpZone"

The thread took a while to develop, but it absolutely changed my life. I jumped in on the last 10 pages. Many pictures of the delicious food I eat are in those last pages.

It is a natural fit for SUP.

Here are some pics of "Primal Creek" to show the changes...
#1 = pre primal after the typical holiday weight gain
#2 = after just 2 months at 102k (I am now 99k)
#3 = My Christmas Face
#4 = My Easter Face.... my whole body has changed in 3 months
#5 = My Sunday brunch... yummy tasty food example. Primal doesn't suck

Note... the weather has been NASTY since I went primal... I have NOT exercised more during my weight loss... actually... much less. It is solely from eating changes.

I absolutely LOVE the whole Primal thing... Thank you Strand Leper!!!

I am surfing SO much better at 65 than I did at 50







Please add to this thread, with your thoughts and experiences...
I hope the interest is strong in OZ.... Primal has changed the lives of many "Zoners"
May a healthy interest in OZ impact my Breeze friends. Be well.
