The scale read 179 lbs.

Now, I believe that people naturally have weight fluctuations throughout the day, and that not every scale is as accurate as it maybe should be.

Also, I am NOT an overweight guy, so I am NOT expecting to loose any weight. And just so you know, I have NOT changed my level of physical activity since starting this project at all.

Still, the scale is down, not up!


(PS: Schultz, do a web search for "cinnamon and blood-sugar")

Ben are you keeping track of money spent on food as well?
No, I really haven't, but I can tell you that I have not been to a fast-food place once. Besides regular groceries, I went out to dinner with my wife once, and we got a "take-and-bake" (cheese only, added our own toppings) once.

I am also reading Mark Bittman's book, FOOD MATTERS: A GUIDE TO CONSCIOUS EATING. The main premise of the book is: Eat More Plants, eat less animals, don't eat processed stuff.

It also includes LOTS of recipes and a solid month of meal planning! That's just about right for my project!
