Just getting the food blog going again for a couple of my older, hard-headed buddies at Crossfit Memorial Hill

Well, friends, in 2013, I did 3 or 4 months of photographing everything I ate and adding explanatory dialogue about why I ate what I was eating.  I did it for an old-time friend of many years who weighed about 340 pounds at the time.  Although he never took the time to read a word of it after I presented it to him, I still believe that you can find value in the words and pictures contained in my daily posts.

Why the dialogue?  Well, because, it seems that the whole world has their own idea of how to “eat right”.  And, in all fairness, I am not sure that I agree that any of them comes close to matching the efficiency AND ease of eating low-glycemic (like I do.)  So, the dialogue is my way of explaining why I am eating what I am eating.

I do not count calories.  I do not count anything actually.   I eat when I am hungry.   And, I eat whatever I want….and, pretty much as much as I want….

I just make sure that the things I am putting in my mouth have low glycemic indexes.  That is to say, I make sure that nothing that goes in my mouth will cause my body’s internal glucose and insulin level to spike.   Well, wait.  That’s not 100% true.  I do “cheat” at least once per week.  Especially on Saturday night date night with my dear wife.  And, quite frankly, I think that your mind and body needs that cheat occasionally.  You can either call it a shock to the system.  Or, you can call it a mental reprieve.  But, I make sure that french fries go into this body at least once a week.  And, usually a big bacon cheeseburger (with everything on it) accompanies them in my belly.

Why do I think that the low-glycemic way of eating is better than any of the other methods I hear being touted at the gym and in our world at large?  Well, I look around at the people with whom I have been exercising daily for the last 35 years.  I compare their physical appearance results with my own results.  I watched what happened to my own dear wife the year that she finally decided to eat what David eats.   I watched what happened to my brother and his wife when they made the switch.  Simply put, it works.  And, it is SUSTAINABLE. 

Everyone that knows me knows that I am a bit of an obsessive compulsive.   Most of you also know that I took almost a whole year “off” from the gym for the only time in my life last year.  I still did a little Crossfit….but, about 4 to 6 times per month….instead of 4 to 6 times per week.

During that interim of barely exercising at all, I never noticed a change in what I was seeing as I passed the full length mirror in our master bath on my way to the shower each day.  Of course, my ability to do volume exercise eventually dropped quite sharply.  But, my body didn’t get fat.

Why not?  Because I was still eating stuff that did not spike my blood sugar.  And, I actually reduced the amount of food that went into my mouth during that year…..because, quite frankly, I just wasn’t as hungry without the exercise stimulus demanding more calories from my brain.

DO YOU NEED A DOC EXPLAINING WHY THIS WORKS TO YOU TO MAKE YOU BELIEVE?  IF SO, HERE YOU GO:

SPECIAL NOTE:  I have also eaten low fat, high complex carb, high protein.

Actually, that is how I ate (or tried to eat) for about 25 years.   Yes.  You can achieve the same lean body look that we all want by eating that way.  But, the problem is, it is simply NOT sustainable.  No bacon.  Almost no fat.  No sugar.  No nothing but carbs and protein.  I remember eating 8 chicken breasts in a day.  Two cups of oatmeal.  Eggs.  And, three tons of steamed broccoli.  No butter!  Of course.  No sauces, of course.  Nothing that might contain fat (or taste.)

And, the results were very predictable.   I was up and down all the time with my bodyfat level.   The pictures of me below were taken within 12 months of each other.  One was late 1995, the year my wife and I met.  The next picture is me in mid 1996.  I wish I had a picture from 1997, because I looked like the guy from the 1995 picture.

In all fairness, I have only been as bad as the 1996 picture guy a very few times in my lifetime.  But, that was enough for me to understand that I do NOT have a miracle metabolism.  I am not a genetic freak that can basically eat whatever he wants and always look like Wolverine.   I am someone that has to understand what is going into his mouth and who has to make sure he is making good decisions when he ingests something…………

If I eat like David eats, I look like I looked two mornings ago in this picture.  It ain’t perfect.  But, it’s my body’s version of “as good as I can get.”  And, I look like this year round.  Not just for summer.  Not just for that special trip to Aruba with your honey.  This is every single day.

 

 

If not, fat David happens! FAT FACE B

 

Simple as that.  Just like everyone else on this Earth.

  8. Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and
    gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is
    totally off topic but I had to tell someone!

  9. Hey this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs
    use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how
    so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help
    would be greatly appreciated!

  10. An intriguing discussion is worth comment. I believe that you need
    to publish more on this subject, it may not be a taboo subject but typically folks don’t discuss these subjects.
    To the next! Cheers!!

  11. Nice post. I learn something totally new and challenging on sites I
    stumbleupon every day. It will always be exciting to read through content from other writers and use a little something from their sites.

  12. Link exchange is nothing else except it is just placing the other person’s weblog link on your page at suitable place and other person will
    also do similar in support of you.

  14. Wow that was strange. I just wrote an incredibly long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t show up.
    Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Regardless, just wanted
    to say fantastic blog!
