Comments on: Paleo is a sledgehammer http://www.fitnessfail.com/paleo-is-a-sledgehammer/ Assorted ramblings on training, nutrition, social issues surrounding these areas and a generous side of irrelevancy Tue, 15 Sep 2009 15:52:18 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: DR http://www.fitnessfail.com/paleo-is-a-sledgehammer/comment-page-1/#comment-465 DR Tue, 15 Sep 2009 15:52:18 +0000 http://www.fitnessfail.com/?p=695#comment-465 That was the most common-sense rant I have ever read on the interweb. It's funny how people in clearly defined camps (diets {paleo, low-carb, high-carb} or training {cardio junkies, HIITers, Crossfitters, etc}) get very defensive when their cult is threatened. You approach seems to be more of a search for truth than the adoption of a specific dogma. ...and sadly, my weakness is nacho chips with homemade salsa BTW, I tweeted this post That was the most common-sense rant I have ever read on the interweb.

I generally read a blogs from a wide variety of athletes (endurance, strength, running, basketball, skating, lifting....etc) who have VERY different diets (IF, lots of carb, low carb, paleo, primal, low fat, vegan, ad nauseum). Most people will preach that what they do is the universal solution, when in fact, if it's the only thing they've tried, how can they make ANY conclusion that they will have better results on a different diet? In the end, I've come to my own conclusions about how I'm going to eat. Low carb/paleo appeals to me, but I don't adhere to it all the time because I enjoy eating my parents' cooking too (I live at home). I'm also hesitant about giving ANY unsolicitated advice or even commentary on how/what to eat, because I figure if it's important enough to the individual, he/she will do his/her own research and come to his/her own conclusions, and it doesn't concern me. :) THANK YOU for this post!

For others, though, I'm sure a bit of brown rice now and again isn't going to kill you.
