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-1630 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.

The Zone is a nice tool to have but sometimes the cost/benefit analysis is just not there. good stuff.

That and 3 months of obsessively zoning... The intuitive approach = way better. Eat to perform, don't perform to eat. <strong>Ben- We have had a few clients go off the rails trying to follow the Zone...too much structure and it brought up some old eating issues. They stick to Paleo and do just fine. Robb</strong> I went down this road on the Zone to up my performance, but I got sidetracked by the body image thing along the way.

I am practicing Paleo as best as I can. I get all of my info from PM, Art de Vany and CrossFit. I just want you to know that I trust your blogs and I use them as a very strict reference. I thought I would point out that when I was in high school Wrestling we had to weigh-in before each meet as well. I was a lighter heavy-weight and so making weigh-in was never a problem. I usually weighed-in around 225 but had upto 275lbs as tolerance. Not good for my eating disorder of: not-caring-what-I-put-in-my-body. Joined with poor advice from ignorant coaches. In high school it is all about technique; never about building and conditioning one's body to use that technique as effectively as possible. That was 8 years ago and you can imagine what 8 years of not caring has done to me. 6 months ago I was introduced to this WAY OF LIFE (under no circumstance do I refer to my change as a diet because diet=fad=short term. unless i refer to my diet medically speaking) and have been very successful. I am still learning the ropes but the best weapon I have is two very close friends of mine are opening a CF affiliation in Johnsburg, IL. They met you at their Level I Cert. in Santa Monica (Jennie and Bill). Along with your blogs and the others I am shaping up to be an elite athlete and I cannot weight...ha...I have never had confidence and its growing! I have never been able to appreciate what I see in the mirror and now I see change! I have never been good at sports and now I am conditioning myself to be the best athlete my body can be! Up until I read your 'Yo-yo' post I struggled with trying to justify my changes to other people who criticized me. Now I just feel sorry for them as they line up for the "circus freak show" (well put by the way, that post was dead on!). Thanks for your great posts and I look forward to more!
