A Good Doc
First: Kudos out to frequent commenter "Paleo Newbe" MD, who continues to brave the [some] abuse, here. He has the difficult balancing act of being a rational doc, but also keeping his license. To my mind, this sort of thing needs to be encouraged. I salute him. The reason for that, above, is to highlight the good work of my mom's doc, as differentiated from the advice nurse. The doctor is very pleased with my progress. He believes the problem is the Metformin. He kind of got after me for not contacting him sooner, when I started vomiting every day. Anyway, I was taking 1,000 MG of Metforin in the morning and another 1,000 at night. He wants me to cut that in half and he wants me off it as soon as possible, but wants me to lose another 15 to 20 pounds. So that's my current goal. I am going to try fasting, now. He thinks it's very good that I'm off the heart-burn meds, and the cholesterol meds. He cut my blood pressure med in half. He believes that my blood pressure is weight related, so when I lose some more weight, we will try taking that...

Big Chunk of Grilled Meat
Here was dinner the first night, at Little Rhein Steakhouse. Established in 1967, I highly recommend it. Here's the lineup. Beefsteak tomato salad, which Bea & I split. I had the ribeye, and it was among the best ever. And we split a baked potato, improving it with lots of butter, sour cream, and bacon.

You look very healthy! That was my first thought.

Remember back in the day when you didn't smile for pictures?!?!

Wow, way to go! Love the San Antonio River Walk, too!

As it happens, I've inspired my bro-in-law (my age) to give this lifestyle a go. He kept mentioning how much better I look. Ultimately, you yourself are the best advertisement for the paleo/primal/evolutionary/ancestral lifestyle.

Just as good: I FEEL healthy. I feel great. As I was mentioning in another comment reply, my bro-in-law is going to give this a go. In addition to my inspirational appearance, he was really sold on the massive increase of energy. I think he's where I am, falling dead-ass asleep at 10PM every night. Not that going to bed early isn't a good thing, but I rarely ever get that awful just-plain-beat feeling anymore from punishing one's bod with carbs all day long.

Yea, and I'm actually smiling 'cause I feel like it, now!

I was just in SA on the Riverwalk last week. Got a perfectly cooked filet mignon and baked potato at Little Rhein's Steak House:

I rarely eat baked potatoes, but I halved one with my dinner partner, and slathered it with real butter, cheese and three heaping spoons of real bacon crumbles. OMG delicious.

Hey, Scott, that's exactly where we ate first night here (first table to left at the top of the stairs). I had the ribeye. Wife & I split the beefsteak tomato salad.
Well, hell. Here, I went and blogged it just now.

Don't you feel that when you do go to sleep that it's a deeper sleep? I rarely wake up throughout the night like I used to do.

I've recently been taking melatonin and tryptophan on an empty stomach before bed. If you like VIVID dreams and sleeping 6-7 hours straight, give 'em a whirl.

Dang, dude, you actually have cheekbones!! Good for you!
Posted by: Pam Maltzman | Apr 16, 2009 at 16:15
Richard, the change in your appearance is striking. Glad to see the positive changes.

If Texas were to actually secede, it would immediately go on my short list of places to go when we can finally leave California. Of course, I would try to avoid the more humid parts of the state.
