Worth the watch.

Over the past while I've been thinking how complex the weight-equation is & had similar questions as to why. That is why there is such a variety in leanness and what drives us to respond the way we do. In my experiment to pull down to what I considered was "race weight" it wasn't easy, and I fell short of the mark.
From an engineering standpoint, our bio-systems actually work a lot like industrial effluent treatment systems. There are primary, secondary and tertiary treatment stages. The enviro engineers I talked to were always concerned about the livelihood of their bugs in the process. Carbs jack the primary system but leave little for the health of the tertiary system - an engineering no-no.
So drinking water straight up from Sproat Lake is a good thing. (It's tested yearly & residents have been doing this since settling here). And cucumber chips from the garden with hummus, my latest mix-up is another good thing. A donut from the 49th Cafe w/ latte after a morning swim in Kits, not so much :(
