Success Story Follow-Up: At 44 Years Young, I Feel Great!

It’s Friday, everyone! And that means another Primal Blueprint Real Life Story from a Mark’s Daily Apple reader. If you have your own success story and would like to share it with me and the Mark’s Daily Apple community please contact me here. I’ll continue to publish these each Friday as long as they keep coming in. Thank you for reading!

In the last two and a half years, since the publication of my success story on MDA, I’ve been consistently 100% paleo, and I’m doing very very well!

I’ve kept my total weight easily in check, and I even added some more muscle mass (about 3-4 kg more compared with 2014).

I kept the same eating habits, except now I usually don’t eat nightshades or dark chocolate anymore to prevent inflammation of the joints, and I practice intermittent fasting 5 days a week to naturally increase my testosterone levels, my insulin sensitivity, and HGH.

My IF protocol essentially consists in eating only one meal (usually dinner) every 24 hours from Monday to Friday. On the weekends I eat two square meals. Breakfast is definitely a thing of the past for me anyway, and I don’t miss it at all.

Cropped_Federico_Success_StoryAbout a year ago I tested my genetic profile with DNA Fit, and as I suspected I have a strong intolerance to carbs and dairy products (which I had already cut out completely since 2011 by the way).

It turns out I’m also genetically pretty prone to injuries and inflammation, so my omega-3 intake should be kept pretty high (I was already on 6 grams a day, remember?). That’s why I now take a supplement of 7 grams daily of high quality omega-3 in addition to frequently consuming salmon and other natural omega-3 sources.

Being in a natural, mild state of ketosis pretty much all the time—thanks to my super low-carb, high-fat, and moderate protein regime—my sugar levels are perfectly stable, I feel full of energy all day, and my mental clarity has reached super high levels.

At 44 years young, I do my one and a half hour brisk walk routine outside with 5-7 full-out sprints and some intense full-body bodyweight calisthenics everyday, and I feel just great!

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
