Love this article and I will definitely be applying the principles once I’ve overcome my problem with binge eating. I would like to ask one question though. A friend of mine has lost around 70lbs over a few years and is in great shape. She lifts heavy but also does a fair bit of cardio (she’s a zumba instructor). Her back, arms and legs are really defined and even her obliques are quite lean but she has a terrible hang up about her stomach. She has never had children but she has told me that when she had weight on she had a lot in her midsection. Her doctor has said that there is no elasticity in her skin and she will never be able to do anything about it. I feel almost as frustrated about it as she does. She eats pretty clean and recently is convinced that her stomach is getting bigger in spite of her increasing the amount of core work she does. Can you offer any suggestions as to what she might try? I have a sneaking suspicion she doesn’t eat enough, particularly when it comes to carbs and I have said that maybe all the core work is making her ab muscles bigger and pushing her stomach out? I would be grateful for any suggestions. Thanks in advance!

great, great post.

i have done most diets known to mankind and am now most heavily in the paleo camp, so i guess i don’t consider it a diet so much as a lifestyle. or maybe i tell myself that.

anyway, i appreciate all of your posts here, and on the fb, as i’m a constant spewer of negativity (at myself). i’m 5’6″, weigh around 134 (a 9-or so pound gain from last year at this time where i’d just come through a divorce and was cardio-crazy and then as my son and i changed our diet to gluten free to conquer his celiac … i gained).

i just started looking at crossfit which was a huge thing for me and haven’t been able to get through the fundamentals yet but am looking forward to getting into heavy lifting. i definitely carry my weight in my lower half (all on the inside of my legs and all the way down, ugh) and it prevents me from life so i’m praying that i can make these slow, sustainable changes and find the happiness that i know exists. i want to feel comfortable in my own skin wearing a bathing suit, shorts, etc. because right now? i do none of it.

anyway, i vented, but thank you. thank you for being so inspiring!
