REINTRODUCTION So it’s been what probably seemed to be (or at least seemed to be in the beginning) the longest several weeks of your eating life. You’ve been restricting your diet and following the RepairVite Program as outlined in parts 1 and part 2 of this series and now it’s time to begin reintroducing, or “provocating,” those [...]
REPAIRING LEAKY GUT SYNDROME As I stated in part 1 of this series, the RepairVite Program is not for the faint of heart or weak of willed. It is an “aggressive and complete regimen designed to support intestinal health” and to identify possible food allergies and/or food intolerances/sensitivities. Depending on the severity/chronicity of your condition, your [...]
Before discussing how body composition is measured, it is necessary to know where the bodyfat is located. You can see my previous post on the topic here: How do you measure up? Subcutaneous vs. Essential fat Total bodyfat is typically divided into: Subcutaneous fat (under the skin) and Essential fat (in the spine, brain and [...]
Most individuals starting a diet as well as most diet books tend to focus solely on one measure of progress: changes in bodyweight. The scale has been used for years as the only indicator of whether or not a diet is working. While this is a problem on any diet (for reasons discussed below), it [...]

At that point I had lost over 100 pounds by sticking to a well-balanced, reduced-calorie diet and a strict exercise regimen, but my body had reached the point where [...]
My training has been way more enjoyable as of late, in fact maybe too enjoyable. I have been indulging in long glorious 5-6 mile trail runs at a slow but steady pace. I have been soaking up the sun on long morning bike rides to Rio Del Mar and back. I have been taking an after-work break on the elliptical [...]
As expected I have been eating quite badly over the holiday season. As I mentioned in my last post I have at least been able to work out in the morning. This is mostly to allow for gluttonous unconstrained eating in the afternoon/evenings. I haven’t been able to do much damage control, well unless washing my [...]
It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor. - Lucius Annaeus Seneca Just got back from a 7 mile run. I downloaded the new Google maps app to my iPhone and paired it with Runkeeper. I am lucky to have been a 24 Fitness member since the beginning [...]
I started the slow carb diet again after experimenting with eating complex carbs. It didn’t work so I’m eating 100 or less net carbs a day and the weight has begun to move down. I was in the 240’s at New Years, made a bet with Stephen, lost the bet, and have been in the [...]
I started the Geek to Freak/Occam’s Protocol in late July. I’ll be tracking my progress here. Update: As of early September I have temporarily abandoned all but the workout regimen until I can consistently source the foods for SCD and other aspects of the test. That being said, between late July and early October I [...]
