I currently only lift weights as I got bored of swimmers shoulder, runners knee etc. I would like to do another triathlon, is there any cross over benefits from strentgh training as I would like to minimize the endurance training volume? Thanks and compliments on your website, very informative <strong>Matt- Yes indeed there is benefit! check out <a href="http://www.crossfitnb.com" rel="nofollow">Crossfit Newport</a> beach for some guidance.

Quick question Robb, the new DVD is it still going to be useful to someone living in Australia ? Or is it all based on things like trader joes ? Thanks Mate Sam- The DVD applies to any supermarket situation. It's geared for folks who have literally no idea how to shop or cook in a paleo manner. It's not high-end technical info but it's practical and the feedback from folks has been favorable. Robb Great read, love this blog, keep it up.

Seems to me that someone who gets sick after eating a piece of toast has a eating disorder. <strong>Joey- No "joey", when one gets sick from toast one has a gluten intolerance you fucking jack-off.

The first time I watched it, I was like "are you serious?" but come kitchen time, it did the trick! It was like a mental shift. I am ALL ABOUT cooking for myself now, enjoying food, eating to satiety (err... stuffedness... I'm bulking, although we all know the craziness associated with that...), etc. P-menu and Paleo all the way. The next step I guess is to intuitively dial in food, fat, and carb intake to match my performance, mass gain, and body fat needs. Right now it's just "eat lots, period." Ben- The Eat Time DVD was planned to be shot in a Food Network style studio kitchen. An Ice storm in Kansas put the kebosh on that so we did it in Rut's kitchen! The whole thing was an outgrowth of a client who said "I don't know how to shop when i eat like THIS..." I thought the statement was ridiculous but over time I heard this again and again...and a general cluelessness with food preparation. The DVD has been well received, but I had my doubts!

Mon, 11 Feb 2008 03:43:35 +0000 http://robbwolf.com/?p=80#comment-554 I defiently enjoy watching my Fran and Diane time drop, but seeing abs for the first time in my life is butter on my toast. Or perhaps blueberries on my paleo pancakes. A quick aside: A friend of mine made a sly comment about the way I eat, refering to it as crazy. I laughted it off, everything I put in my body (with very few exceptions) has been consumed for thousands of years. Some things he puts in his body probably haven't existed since the '50s. So who is really eating crazy? <strong>Kyle- Painting this way of eating as extreme is as sad as it is ill-informed. Just some of that social inertia that tends to drag people down.

Great read here on eating for performance more than looks. I too went crazy Zoning a few months back, though my results were good the whole structure and constant eating drove me insane. Intuitive Paleo + IF equals personal records for me and much more fun in life. <strong>Derek- The Zone is a nice tool to have but sometimes the cost/benefit analysis is just not there. good stuff.

Long time reader, first time poster.

Great read here on eating for performance more than looks. I too went crazy Zoning a few months back, though my results were good the whole structure and constant eating drove me insane. Intuitive Paleo + IF equals personal records for me and much more fun in life.

That and 3 months of obsessively zoning... The intuitive approach = way better.
