A subscriber to my private site gave me permission to put his comment here on my public site. I think it is so important that I asked him to let me share his experience with you. EF is short hand for Evolutionary Fitness, a lifestlye and diet I created that uses evolution with science to stay young and healthy. This subscriber solved his pre-diabetes himself when his doctor could not using the tools he found on the subscription blog.

Dear Art,

My doctor means well, but for the last 5 years my health had been
steadily declining. In March of 2008, my doctor told me that I was
headed towards pre-diabetes and reminded me of what I should be eating
and to include exercise (non-EF of course), which I was doing! At that
time I decided that I had to take responsibility for my own health and
well being. In August of 2008 I discovered Art’s blog and read
everything on it over a weekend and followed his advice. By November
2008, I was no longer on blood pressure and cholesterol medication. I went from 18%
to 8% body fat, my waist decreased from 35 to 29 inches and mentally and
physically feel better than ever! If it were not for Art’s blog and his
sharing of knowledge I would be on some kind of diabetic medication by
now. Art, I am grateful and your legacy will live on with my children.

Sincerely,

Ron, 43

George Kerkoven is an advisor/trainer in Holland. He is one of my private blog subscribers. George has been advising a woman who has had Type 2 diabetes for the past 18 years. He suggested that she use the EF/Paleo diet and explained its principles. When her doctors saw her results they told her to continue. She is now free of diabetes and even returned her syringes to the hospital. Here is a bit of her story in her own words:

The diet was not all hard or difficult. It felt more like coming home. As a child, I already hated potatoes, French fries, ice cream, rice and even bread. I was sick. But my surroundings told me differently. All children can eat ice and candy, can´t they? It was given to me as a reward, if I behaved well, after days of being nauseous and sick.

But you get used to anything.

I have this afternoon (May 25) returned all insulin syringes to the pharmacy. A month after I started the diet I discovered very quickly that I had to stop my quick-acting insulin and, with advice from the diabetes team, I also stopped injecting my long lasting insulin.

Now, for the first time in seven years I no longer require insulin injections.

I was at the hospital a week ago and was told to continue to follow the EF/Paleo diet with the internist’s full support. They concluded, based on blood tests and foot research that my blood sugars are stable, that I have no shortage of minerals or vitamins and the complications have disappeared. The internist told me that the latest findings that people today just ate too many carbohydrates from starch. But it was not yet fully proven so that they could not recommend it as a matter of policy. But she is very enthusiastic and they are personally completely behind me.

There is more inside.

I wanted to share my wife’s beautiful look from the cover of our DVDs. If you think Evolutionary Fitness is only for males, have a look at the picture of this 71 year old beauty on the cover. I would say that I want to grow old with her, but our insulin is so low we may have to wait a long time to do that. We both have a fasting insulin of 2, lower even than what is found among hunter gatherers. How do we do it? We use science. Science does not mean we live or cook in a lab; it means we use diet, activity, and attitude toward life to influence the elements of the aging cascade. We eat wonderfully doing it.

The lovely WW is working hard on her Warehouse Sale which has had a great response. She ships same day or next day on all orders. She recommends the package DVD and subscription and most of our readers find that they learn the full system much more readily if they have the seminar content along with the private blog posts (just about 1100 posts now). Click on the header or the BUY button to the right to check the details.

I received the dvd set yesterday and I have started watching. The material is now becoming very clear.

I for one had given up and decided that the only way for me to reverse my decline was to stop and get off the conveyor belt, give up work and spend a year or so trying to get fit, regain my health and lose weight. That would have been disastrous. But I have not had to do that, because since being on EF I have come alive again, my mind is back, I have regained my mojo and see the world very differently, my body is getting strong and my world is lovely again. I have confidence, I am not stressed, I am happy and excited about life. Many of us are experiencing this renewal. I feel young again, in so many ways. Not only are you changing lives Art, you are saving them. The EF movement cannot be left in health ghetto, it must have wider application and recognition.

Doing things the EF/paleo way, How couldn’t you be happy?

In my case: Lost 18kg, 20 year haemorroid problem gone, athsma gone, constant cold and chest infections gone, now low body fat rippling with muscle, and flexiblity/strength greatly improved (no yoga or stretching) all achieved at middle age with no drugs.

Is the happiness I feel the change in hormones or just a natural response to greatly improved health and sense of empowerment?

I love the idea that I can be as strong and healthy as I am now in my 70’s and beyond. That has to make you feel good!

Also, having young children at middle age, it allows me to keep up and gives me the confidence that I can fully participate in their lives well into the future.

I’m so glad I found Art’s site. It truly is a new lease on life!

We have been having an interesting discussion on my private blog about sugar-cravings and blood glucose levels; the discussion was triggered by my dialogue with a nurse who was having problems. Here is part of the discussion for those of you who would like to know more about life on the other side, in the subscription blog.

Nurse: I am a 32 year old female about 128-130 lbs (steadily gaining weight and getting more tired).

The other night I came home from work (ER nurse) at 12am and I was hungry, a low blood sugar kind of hungry. I had eaten paleo the whole day but not very much food (not a lot of time to eat as a nurse on a 12 hour shift). I usually come home and want to eat; I am almost driven to eat. I thought it was just poor willpower but it may be a low blood sugar problem.

Well, I ate cookies and ice cream and in the morning when I woke up I felt very bad. I tested my blood sugar and it was 140 after 7 hours of eating. Then I decided to go for a walk to get some of the blood sugar out of my system and after my walk I was 60 blood sugar and I was shaky and felt horrible.

Art: The feeling of needing food is because your brain was starving for glucose because your insulin level is high and driving nutrients to fat and muscle. Yes, low blood sugar does it.

You have to keep your blood sugar high enough for the brain to not starve, but low enough so as to not damage your blood vessels and further increase your insulin resistance. That is what you have. You are insulin resistant from eating too many sweets, potatoes, and other carbs for some time. Fatigue is your brain curtailing movement to preserve its glucose and weight gain is the fat stealing the brain’s glucose; they are just part of the metabolic syndrome and heart disease is waiting down the road. I bet you are not handling stress well either because your brain has elevated your blood pressure and generalized stress response.

My Parents are from Jalisco, Guadalajara Mexico.

I had no real health issues (Probably am preventing a bunch now). I have a family history of cancer & diabetes the family but nothing yet in my immediate family. I’ve always been into fitness, then more & more into health as well but originally, I started as an experiment: I had a summer in college off & wanted to work on my body so decided to “eat to fit” my goals.I did a big revision of my diet (For the time being i thought) based on the information i found thru your guidance & examples (I was trusting because of the logic & general food recommended to the approach). I actually found your site researching on improving testosterone thru diet: no supplements.

Before going on Evolutionary Fitness

Weight: 175Lbs. Moody. hazy in thoughts & in recollecting of memory. Slower in general reactions: Physical & mental-sometimes had to read & re-read an article to catch its meaning fully (Compared to now)

After being on Evolutionary Fitness

Weight: 145/150Lbs. Mentally sharp. Clear thinking.

I can tell you that physical, mental & emotional/Mood changes have been seen:

• I am stronger, quicker, leaner but more muscular & have taken on the “Cut” look you mention.-Ill get some images going.

Before. i would work out & would gain muscle/strength but would lose it if i did not keep up with my routine (Maybe after a few weeks or month). This is not the case now, as even the occasional stop in training will not take a tool on my strength & look. I also never had any “Runners high” after an intense workout before like I do now.

• I can think clearer, faster & can more easily concentrate: To me, it seems the lack of nutrients caused a mental distractions to where my body was uneasy & could not get itself on track (or maybe there was not enough nutrients to go around for the body & mind to where optimal performance could be reached?) or it had a stress reaction to the “bad” piece of food in my meal(s)
• My general outlook as shifted from (how i describe it) a general pessimistic to a general optimistic view. My mood is stable; a happy, calm one now.

This is such a nice comment from one of my private blog subscribers.

EF is rewriting the rules and it represents a huge change from how most people live. Most studies that look at one or two factors in isolation in a general population, with poor controls, are confounding to the point that they are useless and misleading.

I have learned to trust my body to guide my behavior. This only became true however, when EF allowed my body to begin to function in a healthy way. Before that occurred for me, I could have sworn my body was asking for waffles and buns, at least occasionally. My body and I know better now and can echo the comments here. Art’s blog has probably added many years of healthy living to my life - I cannot believe the changes I have experienced. And after about 14 months of this, I am finding it easier and completely normal.

Lately I have reduced my cheats to virtually nil. My mood, energy levels, and creativity have never been higher. I have experienced a revolution and Art’s blog started it all for me. “WOW” is the best way to sum it up for me. It is not work. It is not onerous. It is natural and fun, and soon becomes second nature

Evolutionary Fitness, we call it EF on the subscription site, is a relaxed and effective way to become more healthy, leaner, and to achieve a better body composition. We learn to express the active genotype that lives in each of us owing to the millions of years of evolution encoded in our genes. There are no rules, just guidance to making good choices. Humans must remain free; they cannot tolerate the rules and elaborate accounting and routine that most other diet and fitness models require. Most of us do not even know how many calories we consume of how much energy we expend. Nor do we have a clue what the macro-nutrient composition of our meals is (carbs, fat, protein silliness). We don’t have to know because we eat to our satisfaction from foods that are nutritious and full of variety, color, texture and flavor.
