      all i do to drop some weight is that i´m cutting carbs after 6pm each day, i only eat meals which contain protein and carbs or protein and fat, never eat fat and carbs together (except for breakfast: 2-3slices of whole grain bread with a bit of peanut butter)!!!
      I´m trying to go to the gym 2-3times a week (lifting weights + 11minutes of "interval cardio" after each workout), also i try to meet with a friend 2-3times during the week, to play squash (1-2hours) or we go for a short run (30-50min.)…

      that´s it...should help you to reduce weight and body fat slowly but steady!

        I'm signing back up to Carlson Gracies next week, my friends run it and it's been about 6 months since I've done any fighting, they have mixed classes and KB's which i am going to explore.  The only I know for sure is I will be hurtin like no other for a while.  But you come out of there with zero rage.

              I can recommend it to anyone, it helped me dealing with some health issues. It's very healthy. it's not always easy to keep it up and can get pretty expensive (grass fed meat and so) though

                Wife and I just switched to a primal diet - many of the same principles as paleo but dairy is okay… IMO butter, cheese, etc is perfectly healthy in moderation. I wanna get healthier, not go apeshit insane, nahmean? Easier than paleo too as it's not restrictive. Still grain free, which is the main thing that makes the single biggest impact (IMO, of course... YMMV)

                          Fiance has celiac and I was looking to lose some weight so I read up on it and gave it a try.  A lot of the point for people without an intolerance is that it cuts out a lot of carbs (not that I'm avoiding other carbs or doing atkins or anything) and steadies your blood sugar, so you're less hungry and feel better.

                          Also, I think a lot of people have some sort of intolerance, but its a spectrum.

                          Put another way - nobody ever got sick from a wheat deficiency - doesn't hurt to try.  So I tried it and its working, might not be everybody's cup of tea but worth a shot if what you're trying isn't working like it wasn't for me.

                            tigerpac nailed it - I watched what I ate but kept wondering why my weight was consistently increasing… despite eating a diet full of "healthy whole grains."

                                    That's awesome Jeff

                                    What are the major principles of that diet? Same as Caveman diet or are they the same thing?

                                            I have p90x.  It does everything I need it to do, but I'm a push up, pull up, sit up kinda guy.  It provides useful variations for me, and I like their "Ab-ripper X" to burn away all that beer.  If you have IPtorrents, I say its worth the 7GB freeleech download.

                                            I don't care for all the talk during the video, so I just mute it.
