Yes dear friends I play with words.\u00a0 I cannot help it, my beautiful bride does love wordplay and, in spite of another, my brilliant & handsome son and intelligently beautiful daughter (our Kids) enjoy the same.\u00a0 So revel if you will revile if you must but that is the order of my days\u2026\u2026.<\/p>\n
An unfortunate happenstance of the modern day is that you have to actually inform people that you are not a medical expert and are not giving out medical advice even if you want to share with others. In this litigious country we have grown into, a person sharing his victory over diabetes was sued by the state for practicing medicine without a license (one of the Carolinas or Virginia I believe).\u00a0 So I will now go on record for the vampires of humanity out there (I mean legal counsel, lawyers) and other ambulance chasers:<\/p>\n
I am NOT a doctor and am not giving medical or dietary advice or medical counsel to any human being, dead or alive.\u00a0 This is my expression of free speech and expression.\u00a0 Do anything I do at YOUR OWN RISK PERIOD.\u00a0 To the bevy of advertisers out there NO I am NOT copying your System.\u00a0 I have researched this since age 11 which makes the longevity of said research longer than your pimply-faced over-steroidal ego has existed.<\/p>\n
Also if you are offended\u2026 Simply go away\u2026\u2026..<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n That complete, mon ami, let me say that when I DO mention someone or a system it is because I have researched it and have tried it out on myself and been impressed (or sometimes not) I will only have ads from system I wish to support (note the dirth of ads currently.<\/p>\n So let us breathe and start this epic tale of accomplishment and certified cure for insomnia\u2026..<\/p>\n I will divide this discussion into 2 parts:<\/p>\n The former I will attempt to keep up, even if abbreviated, on a daily basis.\u00a0 Forgive however the sometimes frequent lapse into a coma that nighttime exercise can bring.\u00a0 The latter will be almost constant and occasionally obsessive, particularly if I have a bug up my posterior about something.\u00a0 You are now forewarned and ready to become part of the mind-meld\u2026.<\/p>\n Any good dietary tale begins with the numbers.\u00a0 You have seen the true numbers for Glucose, AiC and BP & P online, but here you will see the uglier numeric truth.<\/p>\n I have come from a 50-inch waist, 287 lb. round person (round IS a shape) down to a 202 Lb., 38-inch waisted chubster at present.\u00a0 In the past 4 months of preparation for this round I have gone from 210 to 202 with a fat-mass loss of >9%\u00a0 (31% down to 22.4% (go here for the numbers: http:\/\/www.skinbodyfitness.com\/bmr_bmi_bfp.htm<\/a>).\u00a0 Yes I have gained muscle mass, beaten pre-diabetes and osteoporosis. (Yes osteoporosis, more another day)\u00a0 So I still have a long way to go.\u00a0 Even at my Best shape (160Lb. 30-inch waist) I was still considered overwight and my BMI too much.\u00a0 Even though my measured body fat (Caliper method) was a whopping 10.2%.\u00a0 Yeah dear friends, I am not a fan of BMI\u2026 I believe the year was 1996 when the CDC and\/or AMA changed the rules for what was fat and obese, and suddenly 50 million American went to bed Fit and woke up Fat the next morning\u2026.\u00a0 But that is another soap box.<\/p>\n Mostly you should follow me here, on this gentle blog.\u00a0 You can also find out exactly what I\u2019ve eaten, when, and how I have exercised at http:\/\/www.myfitnesspal.com\/food\/diary\/paulnc2008<\/a>;\u00a0 If you join you can simply ping me and I will add you to the list of voyeurs (oops did I way that) who are currently following me.<\/p>\n On With the show!<\/p>\n A review of the program I am following can be found here: http:\/\/blogcritics.org\/books\/article\/book-review-metabolic-surge-how-to\/<\/a>.\u00a0 It is the one I am currently following, I recommend it only for those who have built up or down (weight-wise) to it.\u00a0 His science is relatively sound and the videos he presents are home-made and believeable.\u00a0 He follows his own program as well.\u00a0 His book is entitled: \u201cMetabolic Surge: How To Build Muscle and Lose Fat Fast<\/em>\u201d by Nick Nilsson.\u00a0 I am not sure of the fast part, but it is working for me.\u00a0 One caution, especially if you are male, he emphasizes safty, which means DO NOT SHOW OFF IN THE GYM!\u00a0 You will hurt yourself.\u00a0 Basicaly, don\u2019t be stupid and yes dear lady friends, his wife\/GF\/Significant other\/ whatever the hell is acceptable currently; has helped him with his book.\u00a0 I bought his book\/plan (@$27) and am glad I did.\u00a0 I got confirmation on the research I had been doing and also am not in debt up to my eyeballs with some $300\/Month diet-food plan\u2026.<\/p>\n\u00a0Round 2 -The beginning:<\/h2>\n
