"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Book Recommendation - The Primal Blueprint, Mark Sisson
Two weeks ago—after numerous testimonies by unrelated friends—I started eating in accordance with the primal blueprint diet. It's a very strange phenomenon to encounter someone promoting that you (1) cut out grains and (2) start eating more fat, but, in essence, that's why Mark Sisson's diet is about. I only plan on weighing myself every month on the diet, so I can't yet testify for any particular loss in pounds, but I will say that I feel much healthier already in terms of energy. I often post articles from the author's website, but you should all check out the book. It's a quick read and is very easy to follow.

I started on Jan 9th, weighing 260 pounds (age 47) that day, up from 185 when I got married six years ago. This morning (Jan 20) I tipped the scales at 250 on my way back to the 185! I too feel much better - more energy, sleeping better and less aches and pains. It's tough to cut out the grains for me since I work in a brewery as the head brewer but I've done pretty well, only two beers since I started the Primal Blueprint. I highly recommend this book to anyone who needs to lose weight or get back in shape, it's easy and you don't feel deprived or hungry.
Congratulations! Keep that Civilization Syndrome* at bay.
I've had good luck improving my health with the help of the Weston A. Price foundation, which gives the above reviewed book Primal Blueprint a thumbs up.**
