Results after 1 month

Exactly one month ago (August 24) I feel was my "bottoming out" health-wise:  that day I hit my all time heaviest (241 naked) and had my worst blood lab draw (cholesterol totalled 261 with an LDL of 174 and triglycerides of 161). 

Today, after one month of mostly just eating well, my naked weight was down 15 lbs to 226. So the weight loss is working. 

Soon I will schedule another blood test to see if my labs are getting better. 

Certainly I feel better, I'm less lethargic and more energetic than I was months ago. 

Within the last several days I've started to get comments from people saying that I look slimmer. My skin condition mentioned in a previous post is almost completely better, after suffering with it for over a year. I am enjoying the healthy food I'm eating, and starting to learn new recipes that taste even better. 

Overall my health experiment is going as I had hoped. There is a lot of misinformation out there about fdiet and health, but my own experiment on myself using the guides that I believe to be the most accurate is proving to be so. My main guides are Dr. Campbell and the China Study as well as the books and other resources put out by Dr Joel Fuhrman. These I believe are based on the best science, most thorough research--and the most "common sense" compared to other "diets" and guides. But I will continue my own experiment on myself using this approach, and continue to post my observations, notes and results here. 

Soon I really need to step up the exercise some more. More rigorous cardio and lift some weights. Those are two more goals I have set.
