      I figured a mixture of both was a good thing. I hate running, so I always choose an eliptical or something along those lines. I might have to try some tabata workouts once this soreness goes away. Right now, it hurts to even jog haha

      If you hate running then don't run, and do something you enjoy instead. 🙂

      And I hope the soreness clears up soon. It's always a bit of a pain.

        I don't agree with low-fat diets or low-cholesterol diets, but I definitely agree with low-carb diets and ketogenic diets.

        Think it, be it.

          What defines a low carb diet though? When Atkins was popular, wasn't it like 20 net carbs?

            No idea. I don't log or count, I just don't drink sodas or juice, I'm careful about fruit, I don't do grains, and I never eat sweets. Mainly veggies, whole, pastured organic milk, pastured, organic meats, wild caught cold water fish.

            I find that I don't get very hungry anymore, at least not the way I used to. Even when I intermittently fast.

            I guess I don't think in terms of diet. I think d666 put it pretty well when he characterized it as lifestyle choice instead of diet. I choose to abide by a few principles for the rest of my life in terms of what I will eat. Not about weight loss though that's been a happy side effect. About feeling good and being healthy…

            One thing in going to try soon is to force my metabolism into ketosis. I have a book on that, will advise how that goes.

            Think it, be it.

              Agreed with above no diet just lifestyle change. This is how I choose to eat.

                  Absolutely love whole pastured milk. Which goes against paleo, but I have no issues with lactose, love milk, and the nutritional profile from pastured dairy is insane.

                      Well y'all like cheese?

                      For those of us lucky enough to tolerate and love it, way cheaper even at $7/gallon than protein powders I bet. All the CLA and omega 3s you want too!

                          :). Hemp milk is the best! Pity it doesn't exist down in Australia.

                            I don't mind protein powders. The one I use has no sugar, 1 net carb and 50g of protein per serving. Can't beat that

                              Despite our disagreement about the theoretical underpinnings, that's probably not too far off what I'd do. 😃

                              I don't have a problem with grains and fruit, and am more into low fat milk (but I understand there are benefits of full fat), but that's fiddling with the corners.

                              No, I'm not eating that clean right now. I do need to fix my diet.

                              As for milk, humans have adapted to drinking milk (see this article) about 7500 years ago.

                                I have read that article, and it's only speaking of a few groups of human that retain lactose tolerance into adulthood. Since I'm apparently in that group, I drink it. The article sort of reminded me of Gus, Germs, and Steel, characterizing the adaptation as a competitive advantage.

                                    LOL, Skogg kicks my ass SO hard. I can hardly walk the day after, there really is nothing I've ever done like it. Your wife is amazing, but you know that 😘

                                        Rode 25 miles today. Forgot how much I enjoy riding a bike. I know it's not optimal for burning fat, but it sets calories ablaze and is ridiculously fun. Came home and killed this Paleo meal.

                                          don't think about how much calories it burns or not…as long as you're doing something, you don't have to worry brother! it's all good!

                                          brilliant looking plate btw.! 😉

                                          I for myself really need to get shit started again! need to find a gym or join the local crossfit crew asap!

                                            Any updates from you guys?

                                            Virtual Skogg has changed it's format to a more Crossfit type schedule. He's posted 70 different workouts (I can only do 64 of them because six of them involve Crosscore and Stroops which I don't own…yet) that you do in order

                                            It no longer goes by levels, so the weight and tempo are all up to you

                                            Did the first one with a bell I probably shouldn't have been swinging for all 30 minutes, and I'm still sore three days later

                                            If anyone's interested, they're running a promotion: $1 for 31 days coupon skogg2013
