My Belly


 I’m getting fat.  Fatter.  I read that in this program, often guys will lose 15 lbs and girls will gain 15 lbs.  Someone has said that the reasoning is that men process complex carbohydrates differently than women do, and the Fijian diet is VERY heavy in starches.  I think this may be possible.  I think, additionally, men are able to be more independent here-they can run alone, they can wander in the woods alone, they can do all kinds of things that women are discouraged from doing so they are able to be much more active.  I am trying to work in my garden, exercise in my house, and train a little outside with some of the women from the village, but I find more often than not, I’m just staying lazy.
