Fuck you bread, you can go suck a dick

I have read some really interesting books on self improvement in the past year. Showing me options and making observations that I would not have thought of before.

The two significant books were focused on the human diet. I do not care for people who "go on a diet", this is due to the fact that they treat this approach to a temporary span of your life rather and obviously and boringly go back to their old ways.

I hear people talking about so much shit around this or how they're going to exercise. I'd like to lecture them, but I feel reading a few books does not give me the right to tell people how to live their life. I'd rather just watch from a far and mumble "you fucking idiot".

The two books I mentioned were The Paleo Solution by Robb Wolf and The Primal Blueprint. To explain what these two books argue, I will take a video from the director of Fathead (good free documentary on youtube)

I'm slowly making changes in my diet that have become permanent. I use coconut oil for cooking rather than any other oil (I'd use animal fat but the Patriach of the house is a vegetarian and he moans enough about fish smelling). I started having eggs over the past two years, so I have talked the house into doubling the stock of eggs.

So fuck you bread, you can go suck a dick. I have had so many pieces of bread in my two and a bit decades that I could probably make a photo of a field of slices of bread if I was rich. Signifying that I ate all that. Then I would have to fight the birds off. I'd also need to be rich. So this plan is flawed.

Cutting out bread is the next step of my slow changing diet with sugar most probably the next in a few weeks or month.

So why will I not lecture people on how to live their life? Pretty easy. I've gotten lazy. I have less energy, I don't exercise as much and the lack of sunlight this time of year causes me to suck at life.

Thankfully my saving grace at the moment is easy, spacious kettlebells. Grab my gymboss (interval timer) and do something like 10 minutes worth of snatches with 15 seconds right hand, 15 seconds rest, 15 seconds left hand. Thank god for myomytv.com for learning techniques.

I have been in the best shape of my life when I've had a decent diet that including fish and chips or at one point I was zero sugar apart from a pack of oreos that would disappear in 5 minutes and very little carbs.

Since I've read books on the paleo diet, I've grown to love bacon. Eggs and bacon are great for breakfast. Plus it seems that the diet is easy, it may not in the transitionary period. I don't see it as punishment but giving me more energy and concentration.

I work in a place where buffets are present three times a week and it is hard to not eat something just because it is there. The change in my diet has been something I've been putting off for 7 months and it is entirely my fault and I've been eating rubbish as a last hurrah and never starting.

I guess what I'm trying to say is how the hell did I get such a nice link on Martin's page? It doesn't even live up to that picture.
