Healthy Diets Inc

Well this was interesting. Everyone there was very nice and profession. They made me feel welcome and comfortable. First they measured my height and weighted me on a digital scale that also calculated my body fat percentage and then I sat down in a chair and had to breath through a tube in my mouth for about fifteen minutes to measure my RMR Resting Metabolic Rate. They got my RMR as 2365 then allowing for activity it come to 2635 whcih she said was good. it Means I need 80 grams of protein at day - one number I have been trying to get and the I need 3821 calories a day to maintain my weight so if I am eating 2000 to 2200 I should be losing over 2 pounds a week but I am not. We talked about my diet and exercises and she just feels I am at a plateau due to the 100 pounds I have lose and that I will lose more weight in time.
We talked about changing my diet which she thought was fine but said that sometime making a change could trigger a lose because I eat almost the same thing all the time. So in a few days I will start the Paleo Diet. It does not seem to be too complex but there are some forbidden foods - a few may be hard but mostly I do not think it will be a problem. If this food plan does get me off insulin and some other meds it will be worth it.
I will post a current weight and other data when I start.

Wednesday Core Training

Good workout this morning - was tired when I woke up - slept well so not sure why I am tired - no more exercise today unless I get myself to run after dinner with Dad - I hope I can get myself to do that - I go to the dietitian at 3PM today and cannot eat of exercise after 11AA to prepare for the tests they will do - I have decided I want to find at different doctor - I have never really felt like my doctor was working with me in my program for fitness and fat lose - he treats me and checks me but that is it - I want to find a doctor who will work with me and wants to help me do what I can to get off as many of the drugs that I take that I can - I do not know if that sort of doctor exists or how to find one but I am going to look - food was good yesterday - did have hypoglycemia at 2:30 AM and had to eat then - maybe that is why I was tired -

Tuesday Evening Run

Good run - I enjoyed the run but I was a bit tired during the run - I was trying to do a good pace but felt I was pretty slow but my numbers were pretty good - maybe I am tired because this is the most I have run if two day - ten mile and twenty miles in four days - well Wednesday I am doing core training but after that I cannot run because of the visit with the dietitian - if I can get to the gym early enough I will run some on the tread mill - no pain on the run and no pain after running ten miles in two days - I am hopeful that increasing the amount I run will toughen up my feet so that I can run longer at one time with out being almost crippled after a run longer than about 8 miles -

Tuesday Lunch Run

Good run - felt good and it was nice out there - cool and dryer than this morning - no pain - I must admit I am a little pumped because of the weight lose - I had just about decided to change my food plan now I am not sure what to do - going to see the dietitian Wednesday anyway to see what she has to tell me - even if I have to strickly control what I eat the rest of my life I still want to lose enough fat to get to 15% body fat and see what I look like - I have tried and tried to imagine it like I have been advises to but just cannot come up with an image - if you have been not fat at one time I assume this would be easier but maybe I am wrong but I just cannot imagine what I will look like - it is also very important to me for running, cycling and health - one of my goals this year was to lose 100 pounds now I want to get below 300 - must seem bizarre to the rest of you for me to have a goal to weight less than 300 pounds when most of you weight less than 200 -
