I posted this as a comment on this atrocity of a blog posting<\/a>. We’ll see if it makes it through moderation:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Hey Durianrider,<\/p>\n

Some really interesting science you’ve got going here. \";)\"<\/p>\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m posting two links in this comment. The first is my \u00e2\u20ac\u0153recap\u00e2\u20ac\u009d after trying a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153primal\u00e2\u20ac\u009d diet for 6 weeks. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll see that I posted exactly what I ate and any activity for all 42 days (save a 3 day camping trip). Clearly I lost my gut, I didn’t gain one. The before picture was the result of following the government recommendations pretty closely \u00e2\u20ac\u201c diet and cardio. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll also see that I didn’t starve myself at all. (See average daily calories per week in first graph \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the teal line). I also exercised fewer minutes per week during those six weeks than before I started. (http:\/\/perkinskit.posterous.com\/debrief-six-primal-weeks<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The second link is my 6 month update. After the initial 6 weeks, I stopped tracking my intake and ate whatever I wanted (clean paleo\/primal foods only of course!). [Though to be fair, I wasn’t restricting myself during the first six weeks, though one could argue that happened unintentionally due to the act of recording what I ate.] In this post I have added a third picture, the six month picture. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll see that although I got a new camera, I didn’t get a new gut (or even my old one back). (http:\/\/perkinskit.posterous.com\/the-6-month-post<\/a>)<\/p>\n

I promise I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not \u00e2\u20ac\u0153on HGH shots\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u201c or starving myself. \":)\"<\/p>\n

Thanks!<\/p>\n

Oh and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m just getting my own site going (www.engrevo.com<\/a>) so you can call me a blogger too!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’m looking forward to the great debate!<\/a> Go get ’em Richard.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Update after the jump.

*UPDATE* After the first comment below (veganbob), and my reply below,\u00c2\u00a0 we had the following email exchange:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Me:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Hey Bob,<\/p>\n

I replied to your comment on my blog post – just wanted to make sure you were notified so you could respond. I’m just getting settled in the new blog and I haven’t worked out the kinks yet.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em>Thanks for reading!

thanks mate. Hey give it time on any diet\/exercise programme. Look CLOSELY at your guru’s. Be WARY when you go into google images and only a few SAME shots come up.. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Me:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Woa, I didn’t realize veganbob and Durianrider were one and the same. Would you mind posting your reply as a comment on my blog? (Or if I did so?)<\/p>\n

Here’s a link<\/a> to the original conversation.

Yet to get a reply. Also, he still hasn’t approved my comment on his blog, though I approved his on mine. Also, keep in mind this could be some imposter trying to make durianrider look stupid. \ud83d\ude42<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
