Ok, Like I said I am reading Tim Ferriss’s The 4 Hour Body, it’s a great read so far and he brings up some crazy accusations (though he does have good research to back it up)… I am starting his “Fat Burning” diet tomorrow, I bought all my food for the next 7-days today and [...]

“Basic, brutal, and brief…” And if I may, to that I’d add intermittent to that as well. Ok, so I’ve racked my brain and consulted my thesaurus to no avail — anyone know a synonym for “intermittent” that starts with a “b”? Anyway, the “basic, brutal and brief” statement is just a snippet of the [...]
Really, is it all that complicated? Yeah, all of us in the Paleo/Evolutionary Fitness community like to geek-out on the minutia of this stuff (and with the workout specifics as well), but when we get down to brass tacks — or (and especially so!) when dealing with the “mainstream”, or potential converts — it’s helpful [...]
Here are a couple of workouts in which I injected a little more volume than what I normally roll with. This is all done in an effort to prevent overtraining, while yet maintaining a relatively high training frequency which I both enjoy, and which my recovery ability can handle. And just to reiterate a point [...]
Sometimes it’s good to take a step back, check our logic and assumptions on a topic, and make sure our basic understanding still holds water. Kinda like checking for that weak link in your strength chain. A sanity check every now and then can save us from wandering lemming-like over the cliff of smug confidence. [...]
So here are the greens from the beets that I made on Wednesday night, making an appearance alongside Thursday night’s totally awesome, locally/pasture-raised cut of smoked pork. Damn fine eats, I gotta say. The greens were sautéed with onions in a liberal amount of coconut oil, then splashed with a bit of coconut vinegar, salt [...]
Wow, you are not going to believe what Dan came across last night! Apparently there are companies that sell tapeworms to help weight weight loss… you know the tapeworm diet. I haven’t seen that one on the shelf next to the Alli, so I had to see it for myself. People are freaking crazy. I [...]
No more than a single iron skillet and a few minutes of prep time for these two. Grass-fed eye of chuck, butternut squash and cauliflower mix, free-range pork sausage, roasted free-range chicken quarters and a little sweet potato. Good meals, and plenty of leftovers to boot. By the way, you’ll notice that there’s very little [...]
“Not to invent yourself is to be false. To follow preordained rules is a profound betrayal of what it means to be human.” – David Starkey In a recent episode of the Kathleen Show, host Kathleen Slattery-Moschkau interviewed T. Colin Campbell, author of The China Study. I know what you’re thinking: WTF?? Why would I [...]
I’ve often been asked, in various forms and fashions, why I don’t bother with tracking my insulin response to various consumption and/or activity inputs and events. My response has always been, “what’s the point?” The fact of the matter is that insulin will increase even following a strict Paleo meal — hell, insulin will increase [...]
Are You Worrying About the Wrong Things?I thought I would give Taylor a break because she’s been really busy with The Art of Weight Lifting and has not had the chance to post that often. Either way, I wanted to post an interesting topic today. I am a big reader and I just finished a [...]
“Science is what you know, philosophy is what you don’t know.” – Bertrand Russell
Weight gain, musculature and athleticism — who (or, more appropriately, what) is driving the bus here, anyway? As long as there have been athletes in training, and coaches training them — and tangible rewards for winning involved – [...]
“The one common experience of all humanity is the challenge of problems.”

2 miles from my house to the gym offers a perfect opportunity for a short fixie huck/warm-up prior to throwing around a little iron. An odd combination, I know. I was asked recently if I was the only fixie [...]
“A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself within.” – Will Durant
Great post here by Peter (of Hyperlipid), in reference to this BBC story (Dolphins Have Diabetes Off Switch). Peter pretty much sums-up all that needs to be said about this; no need for me to elaborate any further. I’ll [...]
