A question for my readers.
The big traffic is and always has been in telling people what they want to hear. I’m not going to start posting magical formulas to “get the body you’ve always” wanted anytime soon.
Paleo is a sledgehammer
Our understanding of nutrition and how it effects the body is really in its infancy. The good nutritionists (even the registered dietitian types that this community so likes to vilify) will admit this freely. This is why I prefer to think of the strict Paleo approach as something of a sledgehammer. To my knowledge there are no peer reviewed, double blind, large-scale, long-term studies in humans indicating that the consumption of unfermented legumes has statistically significant adverse health effects. Now how about fermenting them as some traditional cultures did? Call me when you get the funding to run one of these. I can do this all day.
Climbing (and eating) with Son of Grok
Being the naive consumer from the east that I am, I spent a few minutes looking around for the REAL menu – with the sides, and other assorted crap I’m normally not overly interested in. To be fair, there was a small poster board announcing potatoes and the like, also having the option of being topped in MEAT. I settled down in front of half a rack of ribs, and a half pound of brisket and tried to resist the urge to hunker over my food and growl at people when they looked at it.
Quick Book Suggestion/Review (Spark)
On a broader scale, it’s an endorsement of a lot of the activity we do, and alludes to evolutionary fitness concepts a few times. I found a lot of the science backing one of the primary messages of the paleo/primal community…. I found it extremely refreshing to see a book aimed at mainstream audiences using good science to reach many of the same conclusions.
