In January, Men’s Journal had a terrific article about fitness by Daniel Duane. The gist of it is that you should pass on the treadmill and elliptical and lift heavy. If this is news to you, go read it. On the heels of that, they published a real stinker in February. It starts [...] At present, my blogging has been very thin because I’ve got a lot of other things going on. Sadly, these things are not paid work, but the primary distraction from keeping up my blog has been studying for a personal trainer certification. I already have a Level-1 CrossFit certification, but liability insurance companies do not [...] Don Matesz has a gem of a post discussing Steve Pavlina’s raw vegan diet experiment(s). Pavlina, like Seth Roberts and Tim Ferris, does a lot of self-experimentation and then blogs about it. I do like much of what all three of them write. Pavlina’s post “How to Become an Early Riser” is [...] After years of long study of nutrition and diet, I seem to be coming around to the idea that you can either have carbs or fat along with your protein, but not both. When I saw that this appeared to be Zoe Harcombe’s thing, I bought her book right away. I think there’s a lot [...] I’m currently reading Art DeVany’s new book (The New Evolution Diet) – only the Kindle version is out at the moment. His basic rules for eating are much more tight with the fat than what I know a lot of Primal/Paleo types eat. I have to say that, to be honest, I cannot free-eat Paleo [...] I’ve tried various foods in isolation over the last six months and have found out that some of them really need to stay OUT of my diet. Note that some of them *are* paleo-approved: gluten (knew that before I tried paleo) I’m going to start out plugging this blog entry at Tribe of Five, because it echoes a lot of my feelings on this subject. I’m not willing to carry the paleo placard in lieu of common sense. No, we don’t eat grains, legumes, or sugar. Yes, we eat plenty of grass fed meats, saturated fats, and [...] I read a number of blogs from Paleo eaters, and while I enjoy them, I’ve been seeing a lot more…excuses lately. These so-called excuses are almost always about non-paleo recipe ingredients. Part of the problem is that every day paleo mostly consists of meat and veg and maybe some fruit for dessert or some nuts [...] On Monday, Tino shared an article with me about what will henceforth be known as the Twinkie Diet. It was interesting, but I didn’t feel it was actually news. I figured that the Calories-In=Calories-Out obsessed crowd would be all over it, and that Anthony Colpo would likely lead the charge. He did [...] I’ve been doing CrossFit for a while now. In fact, I completed a Level 1 Certification Seminar this weekend. The only reason I don’t know if I passed the exam is because they had a large (and frankly inexcusable) IT failure, and we have to wait for our results from HQ. Yes, [...] |
