I’m pretty big on diet shake-ups: if what you’re doing is not working for you then change it. Doing the same thing (or more of it) and expecting better results is just *nuts*, if you think about it. Just in the last few months I have finally wrapped my brain around the idea that insulin [...] One of the big excuses that I see people make when it comes to eating “clean”, whether that’s paleo or an elimination or rotation diet is that they can’t afford to buy organic food or grass-fed meat. Somehow, they think that if they can’t do that, they can’t do the program. The first step to [...] I found an interesting Russ Roberts podcast with Art DeVany. The first 25 minutes is about baseball and steroids, and while I’m not a baseball nut, I still found DeVany’s ideas quite interesting. The rest of it is about evolutionary diets and fitness. It’s definitely worth hearing, no matter which thing you’re interested in. Re: [...] The Whole9 folks are doing another Pure Paleo 30-day challenge. You’ll find an explanation of it here, and if you’re looking to cut the crap out of your diet, there’s a lot of support available. The “Tough Love” section applies to ANY dietary changes you want to make. The whole article is absolutely worth [...] After the yelling fest that happened at Free The Animal over white potatoes, I’m really hesitant to even refer to my diet as “Paleo-ish”. If there’s a nice, tidy word for not eating grains and legumes, I’m that. I suppose primal would cut it. At the moment, I’m not eating white potatoes [...] A lot of people talking about primal and paleo diets are really hatin’ on fruit and are big believers in long-term ketogenic diets. Fruit (except for berries and usually tomatoes) is criticized as being just being “candy from a tree” or a fructose bomb. Some folks also lump all root vegetables (yams, rutabaga, [...] I’ve been seeing reasoned debate about the effect of long-term low-carb diets for a while now, but this last week, things kind of exploded into a yelling fest. Within what I can only describe a mean-spirited and pointlessly rude blog post from Matt Stone, there’s one interesting nugget of possible truth: “…remember that prolonged dieting (this one, [...] Paleolithic-style diets have gotten a lot of press of late. The articles mostly take this form: 1) Hipster discusses their caveman diet and explains that all their problems with digestion, allergies, obesity, blood sugar, athletic performance or what-have-you are gone. 2) Reporter says “isn’t that nice” and proceeds to quote sources of conventional wisdom saying that somehow, [...] We were in St. Louis for a month (returned late last night), and during that time, I gained some weight. I did work out quite a lot, so I’m sure it wasn’t all fat, some of it undoubtedly was. I have a lot of signs of inflammation, my digestion is messed up, and [...] It took me ages to find a copy of Ray Audette’s Neanderthin at a price I was willing to pay ($12 + shipping, as it turned out). I read it, of course, and just for the heck of it, I ran the numbers on two days of his menu suggestions. There’s a lot of good information [...] |
