James 2010-07-20T22:44:00Z 2010-09-01T23:21:12Z <p>I saw a brief discussion on research showing that your hormone balance, as opposed to strict calories in/calories out, is more important to weight loss. I'm not sure if that sounds like I said anything at all there, but CW is pretty big on 'calories in less than calories out'. Physics diet. Pretty black and white. Even discussions of good calories/bad calories come down to a in/out balance.</p> <p>Is there validity to the opposite (hormone environment being correct)? It seems to be a big discussion point around here even without being explicitly said. Are there links to research? I'm not succeeding at PubMed searching yet. Keywords are too vague.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/6803/natural-exercises-strengthen-muscles-doing-daily-activities Natural exercises - strengthen muscles doing daily activities James 2010-07-03T00:43:07Z 2010-07-06T17:20:08Z <p>Hey folks</p> <p>I'll use the 'think like a caveman' approach here, and I'll use Mark Sisson's 'Grok' character as the example. Would Grok have a weak back? Why or why not? If not, what would Grok do in his or her daily life that strengthened his or her back muscles. Do you really think Grok sat around and did pull-ups? Why or why not?</p> <p>Feel free to extend to any other muscles.</p> <p>Thanks! James</p>
