Reprogramming Your Genes

The Primal Blueprint

I’ve recently started reading Mark Sisson’s 21 Day Total Body Transformation (“21 Day”) and I thought I’d share my thoughts and my experiences since I started adopting the Primal/Paleo lifestyle in early 2010.  I also thought I’d discuss specific issues/concepts throughout the book and, again, share my experience.

Gaining Weight Early in the P90X Workout

I get a lot of questions about unintended weight gain with P90X. Those questions fall into two main categories.

Primal Blueprint Enchiladas

Primal enchiladas?  How in the…?  Tortillas are not primal at all, so we didn’t use any.  We used egg whites and a little half & half to make some crepes.  A brilliant substitute straight out of The Primal Blueprint Cookbook. Here’s the video of this epic cooking adventure.

It is Up to You by Jim Rohn

Jim Rohn is the master of personal development.  If you follow my blog or know me personally, you know I’m a big fan of Mr. Rohn and a big fan of personal responsibility.  In fact, I’m such a big fan of personal responsibility that when my wife and I renewed our wedding vows last December… [Continue Reading]
