Dave R. Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Today marks six weeks since I started really focusing on eating healthy. I have taken a largely Paleo approach to my nutrition and the results have been impressive to me. I wish I recorded my body fat percentage when I started but I know it was over 20%. I purchased calipers about four weeks ago and I measured at 23%. Today I’m measuring somewhere around 17%. My starting weight was 175 and today it is 162. My results in the gym have been decent. The weight on the bar has increased on all my exercises since I started so I haven’t had a slowdown but I know that cannot continue long term with a significant calorie deficit. In six weeks I’ve only had two bad **meals** but at least they weren’t bad **days**. I had a slice of pizza on two separate days two weeks apart. Other than that it’s been meats, vegetables, and fruits exclusively. No grains, added sugar, sodas, ect…. I do have the occasional drink but that’s been either red wine or tequila. Honestly just by looking in the mirror I’ve lost a significant amount of body fat. Just about all the pants I wear now I call pull down without unbuttoning. I’m glad I made this change because I am 38 years old but I feel like I’m 21 all over again. The amount of energy I have is significantly greater than before. Apart from the occasional cheat meal I can’t imagine eating any other way. For a little background I didn’t hear of Nerd Fitness until about 10 days ago. So, I had embarked on this prior to joining this site but even over the past 10 days the support here has been great. Quote Link to comment
