Agree on most of your statements concerning body type and food. Pure simple carbs really have no place in anyone's diet except as energy suppliers when major exertion is occurring. Shied away from simple carbs alot of years ago. That simple fact would save alot of people from carrying around that extra 15-20 lbs.
Your exercise regimen is similar to my own philosophy and your criteria are in the ballpark to what I do; except the runs. I'm not running 12 miles for any reason
