Basically, from what research is saying, can the endurance rides and focus on your sprints. If you want intensity I would look at CrossFit. (www.crossfit.com) All the intensity you can handle and then some, without the long hours. Also, just for something to toss in there, Tabata sprints. You can do them on the bike or…

Hi, I do crossfit myself now and find that CrossFit is not so different, in weight lifting, than what Martin proposes. If you look at Martin's reverse pyramid, it is nothing else but a 1-1-1-1-1-1 set with decreasing weight as you can handle it. As for IF, seems like you are burning enough calories already, if you've…

MDA offers several choices: - bottled, sparkling water (if you don't want the carbonation get non-sparkling) Gerolsteiner, if you can find is full of minerals for example. San Pellegrino or even Perrier should be good. Add some lime juice for flavor. - the best one I'll just quote from Mark directly: "What about the…

Someone mentioned Meatza. I've recently made one and it was delicious. All the toppings and more meat to boot...what else do you want :-) Here is the recipe: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/greek-meatza-with-creamy-feta-kalamata-olives-and-red-onion/#axzz1x0VN2YBe

My goal to drink what my body needs = when I am thirsty

I am very surprised to see that about 15% of my daily calories come from Alcohol. This includes the glass of wine here and there and one or the other beer. In total amount of alcohol this is not a problem, health wise, but is actually in the range of where alcohol is healthy ( think that was up to 40g per day). However, I…

I personally think with 10 months that might be a bit much to expect. I would go as natural as you can manage, breast milk being best if you're still nursing. Make sure that whatever you feed her is free of unnecessary sugars and carbs and I would not necessarily buy into what the baby food industry suggests. Think first…

We have a 4 and a 7 year old girl who we bringing around to a primal way of eating. Bread is often an issue, especially because all of their friends of course eat that stuff. However, our kids will basically eat anything, including octopus and small fish that are eaten whole. So they are good and healthy eaters anyway. We…

I take what I have found to be lacking, as per food tracking. Omega 3 Fish oil (is given, especially because of my arthritis) Vitamin D3 (living in Germany..well it's right next to the sunshine state of Britain :-) Vitamins ACE Selenium Magnesium Calcium I am still missing Manganese, then I am ok.

Looks great, but he is also working out 6-8 hours a day :-)

Men and women: - arrogance - ignorance - greed - know-it-alls - lack of self control - bad manners - lack of hygiene - sun glasses worn when there is no need - lack of character / opinion / assertiveness - foul mouthed language - zealots of any kind or persuasion Men: - gold chains, preferably worn on monkey chest with…

I agree that excess calories make you fat. But regardless of carbs? (I prefer to speak of grain products as I am not against carbs) What do you base your claims on? Can you provide facts? I'd be interested.

On an evolutionary time scale people have not been eating grains for very long, only some 10.000 or 20.000 years. Compare that to about 2.000.000 years eating everything else. Now experts say we need to suddenly eat totally different? As in grain products as the basis of our food pyramid? Doesn't really make sense. Wenn…

Using submersion weighing is supposed to be the best, but you can estimate this yourself by using skin fold measurements.

Ain't that the truth :-) That's basically where I am ending up with my logic as well. As much as I'd like to basically live right next to my BBQ, I need to watch total amounts :-) Trail mix, as some have suspected here, is not much an issue since I treat it as a snack only. However, even then the triple digit calorie count…

Nutrient rich food is certainly key, but I find that the meat I eat really adds up on the calories. I am currently trying to keep to below 1700 calories a day, with carbs at 100 or below. That is working on the weight loss side, but I have to watch very closely what I eat, otherwise I just go over board with the calories.…

Very interesting. Looking through my food logs I see that the real humdingers in calories are: - meats, usually ground meat, ribs, sausages - fatty fish (salmon, hering, makarel) - olive oil (scary how much that adds sometimes) - avocados - eggs - primal trail mix - dark chocolate - red wine Nuts and seeds by themselves…

IF is what I do a lot of. Some times I think too much actually, because if I understand it correctly it would set up homeostasis again if it is done regularly. In other words, the body adjusts to it. Overall I feel that I have not developed the correct recognition of when I start to overeat on stuff. Oh, and "stuff" tends…

Why would so many whelks suddenly end up on the beach?
