So better than simply judging by a scale (which has been frustrating of late), I can gauge how the paleo diet is affecting my body with measurements. The night before I began, I measured every section I could think of with a tailoring tape measure.
Now I'm not thrilled with the idea of putting measurements up in the public sphere, but 1.) I want this blog to be completely open and honest, and 2.) I want people coming into paleo to get an accurate idea of how paleo might change their physical shape, and how quickly that might happen. That's why I write up exactly what I eat, and include these stats: years from now when I'm far more learned on paleo eating, I can even look back and see how well I did starting off. I'm a sucker for detailed scientific experiments, and while this isn't exactly a controlled situation in all aspects, I do want to be able to note information that might be useful to me or to someone else down the road.
That said, here are the stats from the first two weeks:
