Rock that jumpsuit, Jack!

Jack Lalanne preaches against sugarholism in style (it's like he's staring through my raised-on-Lucky Charms-and-Dunkin' Donuts soul):


So, Adam and I are embarking on a new diet nutritional journey in the form of Primal Living. The very, very basic guidelines: eat meat (mmm, bacon), vegetables, fruit, and good fats (olive oil, avocado, nut oils and butters, etc.). Minimize dairy and legume consumption (some cheese and beans are okay--yay for gouda and hummus!). Avoid grains and refined sugars altogether (yes, baking will look *quite* different).

It's day one, so not much to report, but the site I stumbled across that prompted all this--Mark's Daily Apple--is a fascinating wealth o' info, much of which goes against conventional wisdom about health, food, fitness, our bodies, etc. If you're obsessed with all of these things like I am, you might wanna check it out.

P.S. Apparently, in 2009 Jack Lalanne celebrated his 95th birthday by doing 95 push-ups. Huzzah!
