Is it a Bird, Is it a Plane?

Over the last couple of days I've been pondering the nature of the Primal Blueprint.  Even though I keep telling people about my "new diet", it's not so much a diet as a new way of life.  I can't help but feeling that a diet is just something you do to lose weight before going back to old, bad habits.  What I'm aiming for, though, is not a temporary measure, but a permanent change, which will lead to a healthier life overall. 

I have to admit, I've been enjoying seeing people's reactions when I say what I've been eating (bacon and eggs, scotch fillet steak, yum...), and how much weight I've lost.  Of course, I haven't just been living on bacon, eggs and steak, there's been plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.  Even so, despite eating what plenty of people would consider incredibly fattening foods, I've seen a steady reduction in weight.

At this morning's weigh in, my weight had dropped to just below 102kg, easily the lightest I've been for over 12 months.  I'm thinking that what I really need to be doing as well as monitoring my weight is to monitor my % body fat as well.  I'll be interested to see exactly how my body is changing as I lose weight.
