The Hacker's Diet

Via Ronaldo, I'm now checking out The Hacker's Diet. I'm much more interested in the exercise part of the program than the diet part of the program. I don't have a problem with weight. I simply don't eat that much, and I'm 5'2" and last time I weighed myself I was 113 pounds. My problem is my energy level. I have no energy, and my sleep schedule is so erratic that I can't really call it a schedule.

He makes an interesting argument that makes it sound just plain dumb not to exercise (assuming you want to live longer and feel better), and he's right. He also has the right perspective about exercise programs -- you need instant feedback to keep motivated. Well, maybe some people don't, but I think that's a good principle in general. Anyway, I'd like to give his exercise plan a try. One nice thing is that it starts so small that it'll really feel like you're not doing anything. Then hopefully as you move up, the positive effects are obvious enough that it makes it worth it to move to the next level.

I climbed that fitness ladder and have now happily plateaued at level 27. (I also mix in 50 stomach crunches most days.) Try it for a few weeks, you won't be disappointed.

Last night I checked my weight, and found that I "acquired" two extra kilograms in my vacations. I guess I will have to check that diet plan sooner than I wanted. :-)
