Fat and Healthy: Why It’s Possible

This story mentions Katherine Flegal, the researcher who originally discovered the American “fat epidemic” according to chapter 1 of David Kessler’s The End of Overeating.

From the Newsweek article (page 2):

“One of the things that people found surprising was that according to our estimate, overweight [a BMI of 25 to 29.9] wasn’t associated with any excess mortality overall and in fact with slightly reduced mortality,” says Katherine Flegal, the CDC researcher who conducted the study, which compared life expectancy for people in different BMI categories.

When I got to work this morning, I discovered that my watch had only recorded 113 calories for the ride. I believe the transmitter’s battery has run down (the heart rate monitor set is over a year old), so I won’t have Average Heart Rate and Calorie Count for my ride until I can replace it.

Sunday, and I went straight up the hill instead of taking the less-steep shortcut on the final hill to work. I thought I had the suds to blast all the way up the hill:

Clearly, I was mistaken about my ability to blast up the final hill - at least, this week.

My first Saturday morning commute since going off low-carb. My Saturday commutes have tended to be faster, because I have to slow down or stop for less traffic. Is there a difference between riding on a  low-carb diet versus a normal diet? Read ‘em and weep:

So, hell YEAH, there’s a difference! 32:55! Smokin’!!!

Aside from starting out 18 minutes later, my stats for my morning commute to work were exactly the same as yesterday - I checked them three times! That’s consistency, baby!
