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.

Gluten is bad kids, mmmkay!

I’m apparently one of the lucky people who is intolerant to gluten. Now, I normally eat loosely paleo (I eat some dairy and a fair amount of tubers, and wine) and feel pretty damn good. On climbing trips (most weekends) I’ll indulge and pizza and beer, and don’t normally feel any worse for wear for it.

Thoughts on being part of a fitness and nutrition counterculture.

Imagine that tomorrow everything our community says it wants happened. Does this make you happy? Or disappointed because you’re not part of a counterculture you perceive as elite anymore?

Paleo is a good approach, don’t outsmart it.

It seems to be human nature that when people find something that works, they tend to run with it. They tend to go overboard and try to improve on it too. I believe the expression is “There is none so zealous as the recently converted”. But, it seems a lot of people find something that works, and the they just turn the blinders on and forget to examine any further claims critically if they come from whatever ideological camp they identify with.

Broccoli and Cheese Quiche (Paleo + Dairy)

Posting another recipe today, but my regular tirades on my usual subjects should resume soon. In the meanwhile I keep coming across other things I want to share. For those of you who are really strict about it this one is not Paleo because of the inclusion of the cheese and milk. However it is really good, arguably healthy, and pretty straight forward to make.
