I'm a tall guy 6'5" who has never had a real issue with my weight but I have always carried an extra 20 lbs or so of fat around my mid section, ass and thighs. In September of 2010 I fell while riding a mountain bike and broke 8 ribs, my iIliac crest (hip), and punctured my lung. This accident made me realize how important core strength is and I set a goal to get in better shape. Along the way I stumbled upon the primal diet and it really struck a nerve. The realization came to me that I was not eating the right way and had to make some changes. The approach has worked and its now a lifestyle choice. My ultimate goal is to get to 6% body fat and gain 10 lbs of lean muscle and get a 6 pack for a total body weight of about 180lbs. So far so good. I am at 7.3% body fat and 167 lbs.
