Vigo:
When I stopped eating lunches, I lost a lot of weight right away, probably 15 pounds. Now that my body is used to conserving as much as possible, I don't lose any weight, and as soon as I have a period where I eat more than one meal, I actually begin gaining weight. My body is definitely is starvation combat mode. No myth about it.

Back when I used to do long distance running, I couldn't help but lose weight on no matter how much food I would shove down my throat. I want to go back to that, but the long work hours and a kid make it more difficult to do. I think I will start to reintroduce a small second meal into my diet and maybe get some weekend exercise in. I might not lose any weight, but I should have more energy every day.

I used to work ten hours a day, had two small kids, and lifted ~7 hours a week.  The time is there.  You just have to find it.  I had to use 8:30-10pm to get it done.  I know lots of folks who go the other way and do it at 5am.

Aww...8:30-10pm is my video game time slot.  :lol 

Yeah, I know I am going to need to make the time. I am actually renovating my house right now, and when I am finished I will have my own exercise/game room. My free time is mostly filled with house work right now. I'll am planning on getting my act together and making exercise time as soon as I am finished in late August.

As hunters/gatherers we used to have a lifespan of 35 years.  As part time hunters/gatherers we had a lifespan of 50 years.  Factoring out truly advanced medical care what would the average lifespan be now?  60?  We evolved away from many things because we found better ways to do them.

I'm on my way out the door, so I can't read/respond to all the activity here.  But our increased longevity is almost entirely the result of modern sewage and immunizations.  Everything else is just icing.
