This is a very good point to bring up, I get that you're bashing Paleo but when you say "eat good" that can mean a lot of different things. Some people think drinking fruit juice is a part of eating good. Others think their Kashi cereal or Special K is good. Or maybe a whole grain bagel, or...

I have to say it is interesting to see the reaction talking about nutrition and eating has on some people. It's almost like politics or religion. Regarding the low carb thing, here is Robb Wolf, one of the more popular advocates of a paleo diet...

Yeah I saw this a while back and I agree with him that sugar is a main component of why people are getting fatter. He cites something like 25lbs fatter over the past 20 years or so. I'm not so big on blaming Coke for it though. If you dont know sodas are making you fat and unhealthy in large...

From what I've read HFCS is basically sugar, maybe a bit worse. It's not good for you in large quantities in the same way sugar isnt good for you. I think it was over hyped. So now they put giant NO HFCS! on labels and just swap in sugar, leading people to think they're being healthy.

I have no strong opinion on coconut oil but you'd be wise to be a bit less dogmatic on anything related to nutrition. You'll hear certain things are bad for you and good for you in cycles. Eggs, milk, carbs, fats. The famous US food pyramid which promoted grains as the foundation of a healthy...

I agree with all of that. I'm still not sold on the no grains thing. I've been trying this for a couple of weeks and I can say I feel better. I dont know if it's the no grains, the reduced sugar or just a general focus on eating good quality food. I know that less cereal, pizza and bread is...

Sorry missed this one. Cant argue with any of that. Many people preach ketosis but I would say this is a big step away from something like Adkins which allows too much processed foods and doesnt stress vegetables and fruits. Primal Blueprint and other variants allows some dairy, rice and low GI...

Sugar is one of the big things I'm sure paleo gets right. Once you take a look at how much sugar we eat it's no wonder most people get fat. That's the issue with grains too though, refined grains like bagels, cereal and most breads give a big insulin spike and leave you hungry a short time after.

Hah thanks for that link. Should have gone with Forks over Knives. I didnt find that compelling either but it was interesting. They even found a guy who looked athletic as opposed to the stereotypically skinny fat vegans. It's on netflix I think.

I dont mind if you try and poke holes in it. As I said in the OP it's best to be skeptical but have an open mind.

My view is to try and see how you react to eliminating grains. Add back slowly and see if you dont feel better without them. as for research: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...522456636.html

Definitely. I plan to add things like white rice and potatoes when i go back to more intense conditioning.

This is great. It's what I did too and it will take you a long way. I think at a minimum everyone should do this. This is basically what primal advocates but they also add in some tweaks and specifics: Avoid refined sugars, avoid wheat/grains.

If you're looking for the scientific explanation to some of this I'd direct you here: http://robbwolf.com/2011/01/12/hey-r...ets-are-bogus/ Which references this article:http://www.scientificamerican.com/ar...sease-insights and also this: And a bunch of studies cited. tl;dr gluten/grain...

This place did seem the most resistant to the whole thing. That's ok the post is there for anyone interested. As for me personally I have nothing for sale. 2 summers back I was very lean from eating this way and counting calories at the same time. After that Starting Strength very...

This does work for weight loss but in the absence of any context you'll end up losing lean mass which is not particularly healthy. You're better off focusing on what you eat.

Paleo adherents argue that saturated fat is not evil and that the premise itself was flawed from the beginning. The only real disclaimer about saturated animal fats is that the animals be pasture raised and eat it's natural diet (grass fed vrs grain fed) to keep the same natural fat profiles...

Ok well, I have this post going on a few boards so I thought I'd drop it here too in case anyone is interested. I thought I could just cut and paste what I had but apparently I need to attach and I'm limited to 6 per post. So this is missing a few images. Anyway feel free to ask questions...

What is paleo? In a nutshell the idea is that humans adapted to eating a certain diet as hunter gatherers for hundreds of thousands of years. This ended about 10,000 years ago with the advent of agriculture and the introduction of grains to our diets as well as domesticated animals and dairy...

MMO's the issue is the other people playing not the game itself. Same with a Call of Duty or HALO type of game. I'd be much less concerned with the cartoony violence than with a kid being on XBox live and being told he was just raped because he's a American Inventor faggot pussy. Which seemed to happen...

Good fat, some protein and veggies. Does she like avocado or guacamole? How about almonds, walnuts, macadamias? Broth I think is good too. Maybe she would like a simple ground beef chili or even just beef and eggplant which is closer to soup than a hunk of meat. Sweet potatoes are good too...

Yeah I am usually the type to roll my eyes at the grass fed organic pastured whatever shit but then again I've had a really good steak in a restaurant and wondered what they used. I have to say this cut just looked really good, and the taste was fantastic. I will try a Costco Ribeye next with...

My 5 year old plays Cars 2 on the XBox 360. You do blow up other cars in that but I dont know how particular they are. He also has the kinect games, I think Kinect sucks personally, he got a kick out of it at first but he's back to Cars 2. Angry Birds on Ipad. Mario Kart for Wii.

I have the day off today so I treated myself to a steak dinner. I wanted to try grass fed because I hear it talked up for taste and nutrition so I thought I'd give it a shot. I have to say it was AMAZING. I dont know if it was the cut, the grass fed, the way I cooked it... but highly...

Good job on the progress. Just wanted to mention I show your BMR is around 2000 but with the Harris Benedict formula even sedentary is around 2500 calories.http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-ca...dict-equation/ If you're eating clean you should see good gains for a while as far as body...

I think those goals are doable considering you were at well above a couple of years ago. If you hit it hard for 2-3 months I think you'll be fine depending on how you eat.

This is probably obscure as shit but I still think this is funny... 2:20 into this cartoon with Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner. The 2000 year old man: http://youtu.be/MIezIhi9JNc?t=2m20s

So what activities do your kids do and at what age? My son isnt even 5 yet and he's done soccer, swimming, gym class, italian lessons... now we're finally not doing anything other than school and the wife wants him enrolled in something new. I personally want to give it a rest til he's in...

We kind of mix carrot and stick on eating. Although my 4 year old is a pretty good eater. It's take it or leave it but we also encourage him. So for instance we'd say eat the chicken it makes your muscles grow and then we have him eat a bit and show us his muscles. We also let him have a...

I would want it stopped. I cant imagine being born into that atmosphere. Not to mention the gangbangers who will shoot you because you wear the wrong color, you have the wrong color skin or even just because... not to mention stray bullets hitting people. I wouldnt care if they all shot each...

My 4 year old watched these and was signing before he could talk. Just a few things, more was a big one. Milk, water, eat... stuff like that. They get really good at it: http://www.babysigningtime.com/ Couldnt hurt to try them too.

About 42:30 into this one they say in 2003 Chicago had 599 homicides in 1 year, police say 2/3rds are probably attributable to gang violence. Rate has since gone down but it's still at a much higher rate than NY for example.

California with over 1200 firearm murders.

Mass shootings are typically done by young white males with mental issues. When you're talking about general gun violence, that's mostly younger people in urban areas as far as I can tell from what I've read. I have yet to see anything proposed that will change either of those problems...

Crossfit it great because you wont see people in your average gym even attempting deadlifts, nevermind squats, snatch or power cleans. For that reason alone it's better than any other gym I've been to. In fact I'd have a hard time finding a place that would even let me squat or have the...

Good to hear. Keep it going. Increase the weights each time even if it's just a small amount. 5 lbs on a squat or even 2.5 or a single pound once it gets really hard. Your body responds to stimulus, keep increasing the weight and you'll adapt by adding muscle and building strength.
