Barbara Berkeley has a great post over at Refuse to Regain about an interesting concept called the 27/9/3. She learned of this from a local politician her community consulted recently. A 27/9/3 “a way of putting complex thoughts into short form.” The pol explained to them that: you have about 27 seconds of their attention. [...]

MMLAFL Postscript: Shut the eff up!
Posted in Ancestral health, Me, me, me, Weight loss on May 5, 2012 | 5 Comments »
Regular readers know that I recently completed my Mat Lalonde-inspired Approach for Lent. MMLAFL was, for me, an elimination diet of sorts: no grains, dairy, nightshades, or sweeteners (natural or artificial). It was basically Mat Lalonde (eat meat and veggies) meets Terry Wahl (eat greens, sulfurous veggies like broccoli and cauliflower, and colorful veggies); you [...]

I’m heading out so don’t have the time to give this the attention I’d like, but this from Prof. Dr. Andro over at SuppVersity is interestingly similar to last Sunday’s QOTD re the usefulness of exercise: It does rather appear that [exercise] helps to rebalance our natural ability to regulate energy intake – maybe partially [...]
Biggest Loser and metabolism
Posted in Weight loss on April 26, 2012 | 2 Comments »
Long-time readers may know I’m a regular Biggest Loser watcher and have commented about it before. In fact, I once did a stats post looking at the inherent difficulty that women faced in the competition. So today’s Weighty Matters’ post from Yoni Freedhoff about a forthcoming study showing that the Biggest Loser’s approach to weight [...]
Starch and weight loss
Posted in Low carb, Weight loss on April 7, 2012 | 8 Comments »
According to Nell Stephenson of Paleoista, It’s So Simple. If You’re Not Moving, You Don’t Need Starch: Beyond that, from a very simplistic point of view, if you’re not someone who is engaged in long endurance activity, not only do you simply do not need to ‘eat starch with every meal’, you don’t need to [...]
MMLAFL Day 38: What I’m eating
Posted in Me, me, me, Weight loss on March 30, 2012 | 5 Comments »
I read a lot of blogs, including a bunch of what I call “personal” blogs … blogs usually written by women sharing their weight loss efforts. Recently, I’ve been struck by one woman’s daily log of her diet and exercise. On the left is her entry for yesterday (I took a guess at breaks for [...]
Weight loss: It’s all about compliance

There isn’t another person on the Intertubes who respects and admires Stephan Guyenet more than I do. But Stephan’s recent comment on Melissa’s blog as well as his diet recommendations represent an academic’s view of obesity.
MMLAFL: Day 33 … weight & shoe update
Posted in Ancestral health, Me, me, me, Weight loss on March 25, 2012 | 7 Comments »
So yesterday was weigh-in #2 on my Mat Lalonde-inspired approach for Lent. I mentioned in my day 19 post that I lost nearly 8 lbs in the first two weeks. Not surprisingly, this slowed in the second two weeks; I lost a bit over 5 lbs. On the plus side, that’s still a better average [...]
MMLAFL: Day 19 … more good news
Posted in Me, me, me, Weight loss on March 11, 2012 | 7 Comments »
So yesterday (day 18 of my Mat Lalonde-inspired approach for Lent) was weigh-in day. Weight loss: 7.8 pounds. Wow! Color me surprised, as my average weight loss for all of 2011 was less than 2 lbs a week. Now, there are several variables that may explain this much higher than average loss, including: water weight [...]
Chris Kresser: Why It’s So Hard To Lose Weight – And Keep It Off
Posted in Weight loss on January 25, 2012 | 6 Comments »
Chris Kresser’s recent podcast — Why It’s So Hard To Lose Weight – And Keep It Off — is a must-listen! A highlight (emphasis mine): Anybody who says obesity is as simple as, you know, too much fat or too much carbohydrate or something like that is either misinformed or is intentionally misleading you. It’s [...]
