Cassie,

Without knowing you it’s tough to say. I don’t know what routine you use etc. I can tell you that if you are new you may consider talking to an RKC in your area to make sure that you using them safely. I’ve used them myself as often as 6 days a week.

Train with purpose,

Bill,

I take raw dairy if I can. I have a source for milk, butter and cheese so at least at my house I have control.

Getting off stuff like wheat, sugar, etc. is a scary proposition. I have a wild idea to commit to it for 30 days just to see how difficult it can be – even for someone as health conscious as myself. I’m 50 years old, 5’10″ 179 lbs and 12.7% body fat. I’m going to keep the dairy because it is an easy source of protein and carbs for me.

The truth is hard to hear and face. Human nature wants easy answers, wants to call the shots, wants to define reality. This is a good post. Thanks for it.

Sandy,
Great post. Someone once said that people usually ask for advice in order to confirm that which they already believe [and are unwilling to let go of]. More proof!

Josh,

I think there are some great concepts in The Secret! Nothing new per se but some really great concepts.

Gosh and you ask about my eating habits back my twenties and thirties?

I ate all I saw and then went searching for more. Even at 48 my metabolism is astonishing to folks who don’t know me and happen to eat a meal with me. I eat a lot and it’s all I can do to maintain my bodyweight. I got comp tested today at 7.3% with BW of 188. I am not sure I have the time and inclination to eat more.

And I do wish I had chosen to eat quality food back in the day. All I was concerned with was calories. As an example, I’d eat breakfast, lunch, another meal, dinner, then a pizza and end the day (I’m not making this up) with 1/4 lber with cheese, double cheeseburger, fish sandwich, large fries, small fries and chocolate milkshake. And I weighed about 195 and had similar comp numbers. If I had been eating quality I think I may have been a true monster.

Train with purpose,

Sandy, I was sure that your link to “secret” up there was going to go to that book The Secret:)

If you could go back to when you were 20, would you spend years 20-30 eating better? Would you apply these lessons to anyone at any age?

Begging someone to help themselves who simply can’t hear the answer they need to is a thankless task, that’s the truth.
