My name is Matt currently I am a 25 years old, that is 6'3" and weighed 202 lbs this morning; however I am constantly wanting to lose weight. When I was in College I weighed at my lowest point 165 lbs. My goal weight is 175 lbs, however that may be a bit unrealistic as I've put on about 15 lbs of muscle since college. Since College, I've remained very health conscious and I try to live an active life style with a steady healthy diet. My physical activities include: lifting weights twice a week (breaking every 4th week), rock wall climbing twice a week, and trying to walk an average of 2 miles a day; however back in College I lifted twice a week and walked close to 8 miles a day on average, and my diet contained many foods that would be classified as the Paleo diet. After reading several articles and one very convincing one, I've decided to try to live the "caveman life-style" for at least 30 days. I'll post recipes and my experiences in this blog. I will allow a few exceptions to the diet; they are more or less for a matter of convenience and to help me get adjusted to this life-style.
1) Holiday Meals: I've been a vegetarian at Thanksgiving before its just not worth it.
2) Kiefer: its milk derived (99% lactose free), but it also helps to make my breakfast smoothies more filling (cutting out whey completely).
3) Almond Milk: I'll probably start making my own eventually, however for now I drink about 1 cup a day.
4) Olive Oil: its benefits and taste for cooking make it worth keeping in my opinion.
5) Green Tea: for now its my pick-me up, later on I'll switch to white tea.
6) Up to Two "free" Meals a week.
