Robb, is astronaut food paleo?
Heheh, joking…
But seriously, is it?
I guess that depends on whether it has Tang or not.
Robb did you get my consult request. Just checking to see if I need to resubmit.
Mat- all of that gets triaged then Chrissy contacts folks.
Cool just wanted to make sure I wasn’t waiting for a response when you had never received the request in the first place. See you in Honolulu in December.
Robb, I saw this on the internet and wondered what your opinion was. They are practically saying that there was grains in the original paleo diet. Please check it out and would love to hear what you have to say on it. http://thespartandiet.blogspot.com/2010/10/its-official-grains-were-part-of.html
Well, when the Spartan diet starts sponsoring Autoimmunity research, I’ll think about re-introducing significant amounts of grains.
Stop reading that guy’s blog, but only after you read the comments on that blog post.
I keep posting this put its not sticking. If it pops up more than once I apologize:
So, Im starting to think I may have been banned from the blog? Ive had 2 unanswered posts and 1 missing, maybe because I posted from a Dunkin Dounuts?
Anywho Im going to repost just in case.
Im having a heck of a time with one of my clients. She is an older lady, early 60’s. Since December she says shes gained about 14lbs. We have been training together for about 4 months. Occasionally she makes progress but for the most part I cannot strip weight off of her. And I mean at all. Its crazy. She eats roughly pretty paleo:
[ A 1/2 cup yogurt before workout.
Bfast: 3 egg whites and turkey slices – handful of nuts
Lunch: salad – 1/2 chicken breast – vinegar dressing methinks- olive oil
Dinner: Veggies – Salmon patty – sometimes an apple.]
She is one of those amazing clients who eats the same damn thing every day and has no problem doing so. If she has a “cheat” its in a very small quantity and honestly I dont think it causes a problem. Occasionally she will have some type of flavored water, I warned her about this and she has made a serious effort to switch to regular water. But still in the amount I cant really see this being the issue.
Her energy levels are pretty low and she is basically tired all of the time. Her sleep, in my opinion sucks mainly because she doesnt get enough of it. Roughly 4-5-6 hours a night. Im 25 and this kills me when I get 6hrs so I dont know what its doing for her but Ive also heard (mainly from older people) the older you get the less sleep you need.
Exercise is pretty solid, mainly I have her doing some MEBB. She was getting horrible headaches during the sessions so we had to dial way back and slow efforts down.
I think part of the problem and the reason for my reaching out to you is that she had a nutritionist a while back and between that quack and her dr she was thrown on a list of vitamins and medications. They are listed below. I feel that the issue lies outside of diet and nutrition and may be hormonal and or metabolic. Something in the system is slowing or failing. I dont know if youve caught Poliquins new blurb but he has stated that high pec, quad, hips/ love handles and especially high tri fat storage is a aromatization issue with T to E. To high in estrogen cause storage in these areas depending on male or female. In all honesty I believe he actually may be right. If you could give this a look over and throw any opinion at me I would be greatful. How could I not listen to a New York Best Seller?
Thank so much

This interview is finally available for download.
Thanks man!
Thanks for this Robb, is there any other way we can catch the interview please?
Tom
I’m not sure, will check.
That was a great interview Robb. I particular like how you mention that paleo is not hard to do – we’ve all eaten that way – B: scrambled eggs and fruit, L: meat and salad, D: chicken and some steamed vegie.
Easy to eat this way. Leigh Peele has a post on the Paleo diet again. The Paleo Diet: Fad, Religion or Solution:

Sue-
Th unfortunate thing about Leigh is she is a pretty good writer, but barking up the wrong damn trees. She completely botches the science and would do herself a favor to either understand it better or stay out of that particular kitchen. She COULD have written a damn good piece on the cult-nature that is developing around the concept and it would likely have been both good and ACCURATE.
Thanks Robb.
