It has been a while since I’ve posted, and likewise, since I’ve exercised. Neither have I been paying attention to my eating habits. The thing is, I’m trying to get as fat and unhealthy as I possibly can so that I may demonstrate the immediate and longterm effects of a healthy lifestyle; That is an Atkins\Paleolithic\Low Carb diet, the prescribed 90 minutes of exercise a day, and the essential inclusion of adequate rest(sleep) and breaks(rest days and a rest week after some time). As we progress through the process, I intend to post a pic of myself, my weight, body fat concentration, body mass index(bmi), as well as insights and descriptions as we come along them on a daily basis. I hope my efforts will be appreciated. I will make separate pages with images of my progress(pictures of me) on a weekly and monthly basis and descriptions of the various exercises. Currently, I’m in the fattening up process and am enjoying the unrestrained intake of carbs and the ongoing progressive development of a huge carb craving throughout the day linked to hunger pangs.

90 Minutes of Exercise per a Day
As per a podcast discussions with one of the researchers behind the article from the Lancet, Dated July 22, 2006, there was an interesting conclusion reached regarding the amount of exercise required by children to prevent athersclerotic changes in their arteries; These changes later lead to heart disease. The article suggests the following:
Physical activity levels should be higher than the current international guidelines of at least 1 h per day of physical activity of at least moderate intensity to prevent clustering of cardiovascular disease risk factors.

This blog has been enlisted to document and share my efforts to reach that daily requirement of 90 minutes that has been suggested for kids; I believe that that same requirement of 90 minutes of exercise per day is also required by adults, and thus, I share my experience with you, perhaps to keep us from getting bored and a to promote a motivation to accomplish our goals of 90 minutes of exercise per day.
