reminder for my fellow Angelenos who have jumped on the paleo bandwagon

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

The life expectancy of a person in the paleolithic era was somewhere between 33 and 39. Not that I have anything against the diet. I just think it’s funny that modern Los Angeles is aspiring to be like people who would be dead at their age.
Go ahead people. Hunt. Gather. And for the love of […]

Bikers, fried seafood and beer… A perfect Sunday afternoon.

Everything should be fried. EVERYTHING.

We pretty much destroyed the crab. Sorry little guy.

well well, what do you know

Saturday, March 14th, 2009

After two years, it didn’t matter. 65% carbs or 35% carbs, 15% protein or 25% protein, IT’S ALL THE SAME. So much for things like “The Zone” and other fad diets. In the end, Weight Watchers wins the battle. It’s the reduced calories that matter.

more diet and exercise stuff (boring)

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

My friend and I were looking at this yesterday. I just thought it was funny. While a low-carb diet may be detrimental to your performance, at least you’ll look and feel like an athlete!
Low-carbohydrate diets and performance.
Cook CM, Haub MD. Curr Sports Med Rep. 2007 Jul;6(4):225-9.
Athletes are continually searching for means to optimize their performance. […]

atkins diet wins again

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

*This post is not funny or amusing, so don’t pay to read it. I wouldn’t want you to waste your money.*

Here’s another diet comparison. We haven’t talked diet much lately, but I rather enjoy the diets that tell me I can eat all the unrestricted meat I want. I celebrated by eating a package of […]

food of the devil

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

I ate this raw vegan shit last night. I now I have terrible food poisoning. I am vomiting up bright green liquid that smells like sewage and my other end is like that dam that burst open and the little Dutch kid had to put his thumb in it but I don’t have any one […]

to carb or not to carb

Friday, February 15th, 2008

Thanks to CrossFit and myself not wanting to be one of the sheep following blindly without thinking for myself, I’ve become caught up in the low carb vs. “a calorie is a calorie” debate. It seems the low carb people are
making more money right now (though weight watchers does pretty well), but what does that […]

today’s reading

Monday, February 11th, 2008

I got sucked into the nutrition reading again. Came across a few interesting things.
For 16 people over 33 days, a calorie is just a calorie: carb or fat, they’re all the same. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Vol 55, 350-355, 1992.
Diets rich in fat may promote obesity by leading to a greater deposition of adipose-tissue […]

crossfit journal: why must you torment me so?

Friday, January 11th, 2008

Sigh. I know I can’t write about this on my gym website or the Crossfit website because I’ve learned that within the Crossfit community, regardless of what you think, you don’t question the dogma. So I’ll just talk to myself here to alleviate the pain. Forgive me for I have sinned.
I found a free […]

carbs are misogynistic little fucks

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

A few studies have come out in the past 3 months about dietary carbs, glycemic load/index and their association with disease.
