Warrior Fit Boot Camp Fitness Fun!

Last week’s whey protein post generated a ton of great questions. I’m going to try to get to as many as I can today, and I’ll include information on alternative protein powders at the end. As always, let me know if I miss anything and I’ll try to rectify that in the future.
What about oxidized cholesterol? Aren’t most whey protein concentrates exposed to significant amounts of heating that oxidizes the cholesterol?
Oxidized cholesterol is potentially dangerous. In fact, along with Ancel Keys’ fudging of the saturated fat intake data, it was the oxidized cholesterol-fed rabbit model that jumpstarted the crusade against fat and cholesterol. Undamaged dietary cholesterol wasn’t atherosclerotic; oxidized dietary cholesterol was the stuff that contributed to arterial plaque (feeding pure cholesterol to an obligate herbivore played a part, too) in the rabbit.

Depending on how whey protein concentrate is processed, some of its cholesterol is oxidized. The higher the temperature […]

Last week, Stephen Colbert interviewed John Durant (the Paleo guy from the NY Times article).
And during the interview, I noticed that Stephen seemed to be taking it a little easy on John.
Even while Stephen poked fun at John’s lifestyle and his pursuit of a celiac / lactose intolerant girlfriend, he never mentioned:

the bloodletting or
the raw meat or even
the Vibram Five Fingers that John was sporting.

So, why did Stephen take it so easy on Durant?
Perhaps it’s because Stephen is considering a switch to the Paleo way of life.

Occam’s razor is a principle named after the 14th-century logician, theologian and Franciscan friar, William of Ockham. In short terms, it means that you shouldn’t make your hypotheses more complex than they need to be. The simplest explanation or strategy is often the right one. Sadly, it’s rarely applied in the fitness industry or among people in general. We have a tendency to seek out exotic and alternative hypotheses when an explanation for a phenomenon appears too straight-forward.
If the truth is non-complex and fairly unexciting, invent new truths – make them complex and exciting. It’s an effective way to get attention and it’s a strategy employed by charlatans and quacks since the beginning of time. Spice up your claims with half-truths, credentials, maybe add some charisma to the mix, and you’ll soon have a following of people that are all too eager to buy into the lies.
Some of the […]

Yesterday I shared the desire to “look good naked” among my reasons for living Primally. A few readers seconded the logic. Though the point was in good fun, it wasn’t in jest. At 56 and counting, I happily take pride in my appearance. Although there’s a lot more to my life and self-confidence than appearance, I enjoy looking as dynamic as I feel. Although some might see the sentiment as vain, I’ll wholeheartedly stand by it. Although some might cry vanity at any focus on appearance (like my top ten admission), the wordsmiths say it’s more accurately “excessive pride” in one’s looks. But then, is one person’s perception of “excessive” the same as another’s? Is it a matter of kind, degree, or aim? We might balk at someone’s attention to perfect clothes or hair, but what about the same dedication to a great body?

Here in our MDA corner, we tend […]

In Part 1 of this series, I outlined the basics of my Health Habits Diet

A modified Paleo Diet will make up the majority of your meals
Specific peri-workout nutrition will help improve your workouts and boosts your metabolism
Modifications in your nighttime eating are geared to your specific weight loss goals
And sadly, portion control still plays an important role for HH dieters.

I also introduced you to 4 different types of Health Habits dieters

People concerned with rapid weight loss with no concern for fitness (strength, endurance, etc)
People who want to improve their overall health
People who want to get fit but aren’t concerned about losing weight
People who want to get fat and burn fat at the same time

Note:
I hate how most diet books are “one size fits all”. While a general Paleo-style diet will go a long way to improving the health of most people, it isn’t perfect. Some of us are blessed with […]

There’s been a lot more talk in the mainstream recently about “caveman” diets and barefoot training. Primal/Paleo/Evo seems to be gaining in popularity and may be nearing the critical mass needed to garner mainstream appreciation. John Durant appeared on Stephen Colbert last week, Art De Vany was featured in Der Spiegel, Born to Run is a NYT Bestseller and my book recently made the top ten Health and Fitness titles on Amazon. Even so, we Primal types still get those occasional looks of derision or incomprehension when we show up at the gym with our Fives on and a bag of homemade jerky hanging off our belt to do a quick 15 minute HIIT session. I think there’s a sense among outsiders that the Grok fairy tale trumps the science within the Primal crowd – that the notion of living like a caveman is a cute ideal but irrelevant in […]
