The Primal Blueprint: Reprogram Your Genes for Effortless Weight Loss, Vibrant Health, and Boundless Energy by Mark Sisson

3.0

Not 100% sure what my feelings are here. While I have been experimenting with the primal lifestyle for the last few weeks, I'm not entirely sure I want to put away my oatmeal pot permanently. That being said, I do think I will try staying gluten free and keep my carbs in the "maintenance range" at least. I also have been finding that embracing a high fat diet is leaving me more full and making it difficult to overheat...always a plus.

I think where I really feel in tune with this lifestyle is just in the idea that America's food system is a complete disgrace and probably the cause of a lot of illness and disease in our people. Probably the best thing that any of us could do is take charge of our eating...know what you are eating (i.e.. you should be concerned about chicken nuggets....) and where it comes from. Don't eat things that come from a lab, but instead, eat REAL food that hasn't been altered in an unnatural way.

In addition to good food, make sure you remember to move...even if it's just a daily walk. Keeping active really does a lot for a person's health.


Be responsible for your own health....as neither your doctor nor your government are going to take care of it for you.
