Similar way of thinking.
This isn't necessarily Primal, though it might be. I do believe the author of the blog is following a Paleo diet. I like this blog and thought I'd share it. Have we become so Weak?
Sesame seed Crackers
Last night we made a green chile stew out of leftover roast. Shoot, I forgot to take a picture of it. Anyways, I made some Sesame Seed Crackers to go with it using this recipe.
Very tasty.

My Quick and Dirty Weightloss Formula
I started a thread over at MDA forum yesterday, thread. Some people on the forum are having trouble losing weight or their weight loss has stalled, so I put up a formula to help them. A number of people have added to the thread and this is what I've come up with so far:
Read "The Primal Blueprint" if you haven't already. Read Robb Wolf's "The Paleo Solution". (you can find both these books on my Amazon Store page) Follow a strict Primal/Paleo diet, it will look a lot like the "Whole 30" plan. Follow the exercise plans in the books.
Don't cheat! You will need to forget the idea of unweighted and unmeasured. You need to know where you are at and where you are going.
1. Eat only when you truly feel hungry, three times / day at most. Twice if you can get away with it. Don't snack ever.
2. Fill yourself up (not stuffed, just "full") withPB-approved foods, experiment with dairy & nuts elimination and VLC to find out if those are good approaches for you.
3. take a long brisk walk every chance you get but most especially in the morning. Sprint / Lift Heavy Things when you can to work those hormones & preserve lean tissue.
1. Figure out your caloric needs = BMR + Activity level (calculator is here)
2. Figure your protein needs, 1 to 1.5 grams per pound of desired body weight. (like I want to weigh 175)
3. Eat 100 grams of carbs or less.
4. Fats will make up the rest of your calories.
5. Figure at what rate you want to lose weight (3,600 calorie = 1lbs of body weight) / (time frame, like 1 week) you can only cut carbs or fats, do not cut protein. Play with the ratio of carbs and fats until you find a point where you feel the best.
Losing weight on the Primal Diet should be effortless, but sometimes people have trouble and this is my solution. I may modify or added to this in the future.

For supper
I could not have said it better.
Most of the blogs that I follow haven't posted anything this morning so I was looking at Evolutionary Psychiatry blog. I decided to look at some of the blogs on her list. I found a gem of a post over at That Paleo Guy. On February 17, 2011 Jamie Scott write a blog titled "I don't care what you eat". I thought he had been reading my mind. I couldn't have written the article any better about how I feel about peoples food choices. Ahem, brother and keep up the good work.

Outer Space, recipes, and poo flinging
When I'm not reading Primal/Paleo blogs, I'm hanging out on the forum at Mark's Daily Apple. Its a community of Primal thinkers.
blog updates for today:
Modern Paleo has a Russian Pickled Cabbage recipe. That looks interesting.
Mark Sission has a blog on the affects of space and how it compares to how we are all living outside our natural environment.
Free the Animal has some more great vegan poo flinging. How soy can screw up your sex life
Robb wolf welcomes visitors to his blog. Mr. Wolf and Art Devany were on Nightline last night giving a talk on Primal/Paleo lifestyle.
Dr. Harris posted a couple of articles today. One on Lipoproteins and another on Polyphenol Hormesis.
Well that should keep everyone busy tonight.

Blogging Tuesday
Dr. Harris posted a couple blogs yesterday that I really liked. One was on Orthorexia and the other was titled, "William Munny eats his Vegetables". The first blog was an continuation of his eating rice crispies ordeal. The Munny article is about moderation.
Tuesdays are a big day for the paleo scene. On Tuesdays Robb Wolf's (Robb Wolf) podcast are posted as well as Sarah Fargoso's (Everyday Paleo) podcast. J. Stanton (Gnolls.org) has promised to blog every Tuesday and he has a couple of treats today. Are Vegans eating soylent green? The link's to their blogs are on my blog list at the bottom of this page.
Mark Sission over at Mark's Daily Apple looks at protein today and how it affects the kidneys, or doesn't.
Sarah ( Everyday Paleo) has also put up a recipe for a fun-burger, it looks really yummy.
