And here’s the Tale of the Tape



Good record-keeping is vital. I’m going to be keeping track of fitness data for both my wife and I. Obviously there are some physiological differences between us, but we will be eating mostly the same foods (to make preparation easier) as well as doing most of the same fitness routines.

I think that it will be interesting to see how the same primal nutrition plan affects our bodies differently.

Welcome



Welcome to Primal Fed. My name is Richard and I started this blog as a way to document/learn about natural health using a paleolithic diet plan and exercise routines. After many, many, failed attempts at counting calories, points, and carbs, I’m trying something new. Something natural. Something that has been working for millions of other people for millions of years.

I’m just starting out with my paleo diet and I will likely be ‘cheating’ as I work my way into it. And I think that’s fine.

I don’t think that it’s in the best interest of my health or money to go throw all the food I have already bought away to make a lifestyle change. I’m not going to make a sudden and drastic change from eating breads and pastas for 25 years to eating nothing but meat and vegetables. I have an excess of non-paleolithic foods in my pantry and I’m going to use them. I will slowly work them in (or out of?) my diet, but I will use them nonetheless. And I think that’s what a lot of you will do, too.

I hope to make this a healthy, happy journey for all of us.
