The Paleolithic Solution – Episode 18
I try to put original material on this blog but I thought this interview with Keith Thomas over at Conditioning Research was too important to pass up. Why? Well…there was a time when there were not dozens (hundreds? thousands?) of paleo/primal oriented blogs and websites. When I came onto the paleo concept, around 1998-1999, there was Art Devany’s old UC Irvine site, paleodiet.com and a few odds and ends. The Eades Protein Power: Lifeplan was a few years in the future as was Lights Out: Sleep, Sugar and Survival. Much of Loren Cordain’s best work was yet to be written…it’s trite to say, but it was a different time.
Prof. Devany’s original UCI site and his essay were AMAZING. His message of brevity, intensity and variability in training coupled with a nutrient dense paleo diet was (and is) truly remarkable. Art had quite a book that was “just around the corner” and a pretty solid following…but then he was flamed one time too many times and he pretty much told everyone to go pound sand. Folks were hungry for more Evolutionary Fitness but there was none to be had. Enter Keith Thomas. Keith started his site, Evfit.com to “keep the flame alive” until Prof. Devany finished his book, but it quickly went to places the original Evolutionary Fitness never explored. Ecology and many social issues that are central to being human but are often overlooked with the focus on fitness and nutrition. Keith has updated the site and his thinking over the past few years and it is a treasure trove of information and deep thinking.
I’ll pat myself on the back a little and point out that it was our Performance Menu interview with Prof. Devany that brought him back and lit a fire under him to start his very popular website. I hope to hell I manage to beat Art to publication of my book!
The Pseudo-Science was thicker than a Catalyst Athletics lifters fanny! Thank you to Freddy “I’ll have that beer” Camacho for hosting the event at OneWorld and everyone who came out for the day.

Hey everyone! The Paleo Gourmet food line is ready to ship! With a Caveat:
At present shipping coasts are reasonable to the western states (CA, WA, OR, NV, AZ, UT). The rest of y’all will need to wait just a little while longer. Keep in mind we ship in orders of 10-14 units per box to minimize the use of shipping containers and costs.
I like all the meals but I have to admit I like the meatballs+spaghetti squash the best. If you give the meals a shot please let me know if you like them. We have tinkered and field-tested these recipes for over 6 months and a I feel like they are pretty damn good but ultimately that will be up to y’all.
