Every now and then I enjoy reading the paleo and nutrition blogosphere’s version of tabloids and op-ed to read various perspectives on and incarnations of ‘paleo’ nutrition. Often the nickname “Grok” is used in this community to refer to our quintessential Paleolithic ancestor. I found a recent post with a quote I liked: “…do you enjoy Christmas [...]
Vitamin D is extremely important, and unfortunately it’s estimated that at least three quarters of Americans are deficient. You might be thinking: “Oh that’s a big surprise Remy. When are you going to write a post on something the SAD (Standard American Diet) has done right?” The answer to your question is probably never, but [...]
Why do we recommend omega-3 (EPA+DHA) fish oil supplements? The answer is three-fold:
It’s an athletic aid and strong anti-inflammatory for recovery and reaching body composition goals
It helps in ‘repairing’ damage done via inflammation over a long time eating a SAD or even quasi-SAD diet (standard American diet — high in refined carbohydrate, hydrogenated oils, low [...]
Paleo love is definitely in the air lately. The positive results are stacking up for the first wave of Challengers, and for plenty more who are figuring out that eating what we evolved to eat for millions of years feels good and will also help keep you healthy.
Normally each week I’ll discuss some diet-specific topic, [...]
Let me tell you CFSB family, this post wasn’t easy to write. After reviewing food logs and talking with quite a few of you, it was clear that this was major feedback point #2 (#1 was vegetables). I read many affiliates’ alcohol-related posts and comments to get a feel for what others have written about. [...]
While reading many of your food logs these last couple weeks, I have pondered which of your nutrition gaps to make the biggest deal out of, and it was a really easy choice (alcohol came in a close 2nd): Vitamins & Minerals. And when I say “vitamins and minerals” I do not mean a daily [...]
“Is this food (or item including all of its ingredients) one that I could go out into the wild, pick/hunt and eat with minimal processing?”
The time has come: the holidays are over, the new year is still fresh, fitness resolutions and goals are posted in the gym, and bathing suit weather is a not-too-distant few months from now. Some of you may already be fully aboard USS CrossFit, ready and willing to make some change, while others may still [...]
Do you remember what you were thinking about 2010 a decade ago? Did you think you’d own your own zero-emission hovercraft by now, that there’d be peace in the Middle East, that there’d be a cure for cancer, or at least a way to healthily be able to eat unlimited quantities of Ben & Jerry’s?
I’m [...]
Yeah, no joke. I spent all that time on food when, all this time, sleep was more important.
Actually, sleep is more important than food from a survival perspective, but it’s relatively less complicated and you probably face fewer challenges than in eating right, so that explains the emphasis given nutrition. My nutrition filibusters are mostly [...]
