    WOW has been tagged by Raymond David Salas and by Nick Smith. Here I share the five things you didn't know about me --

    1. Secret passion and guilty pleasure: My secret and not so secret passion is chocolate, as dark as it gets. 65% cocoa is the minimum to appease and sometimes even satisfy my hunger. Chocolate is the cheat meal and the only exception I'd ever make. Needless to say, the fact that dark chocolate is supposed to be a healthy antioxidant is quite -- convenient.
    2. I lost 44 pounds of excess weight during the first months of 2006. Amazing the amount of civilization that accumulates over the years. Civilizational domestication as in fat and lazy stiffness. Not anymore. I switched to healthy eating ever since, I added exercises to my schedule. The outcomes speak for themselves and are not exactly surprising. With or without chocolate.
    3. A lifehacker and tweaker to begin with, I am addicted to diets. In a positive sense but still, I love to improve, test and tweak even the last bit of nutritional wisdom and resulting experience, always trying to discard the good in favor of the better. I ate vegan for a year, I loved and still love it and I felt great and always healthy. Check out the vegan warrior diet. In the spirit of improvement and for the challenge, I participated in Ramadan fasting. During this month, I added fish and eggs to my diet, just to see what it was like, the conscious eating. For quite some time I researched and studied the hunter-gatherer way of eating and finally adopted it for myself. With great results, as always, I proceeded and I am now experimenting with the Anabolic Diet. Talking advanced discipline here. This will take a couple of months but so far, the experience is amazing and rewarding in a special way. The bottom line is that it keeps getting better and better. Lots of learning and a great journey.
    4. I was a heavy smoker for eight years of my life. Now, I'm smoke free for three years. I quit without hesitating, over night and instantly without ever looking back. I don't nor did I ever crave cigarettes after quitting. The trick? Do not plan to smoke your last one, but instead quit before lighting the next cigarette. This way, there is no last one.
    5. Number Five. Drumroll please. The fact about me you've been really waiting for me to disclose. Well, I could tell you but then I'd have to ... no. Nevermind. One more try? Here goes: I am one of your thoughts.

    Now you know. Almost.

    I'm tagging David Maister, Peter Kua, Brian Kim, Edward Mills, and the Mangrove Root Gang ... You're it.
