<p>I could be completely wrong about this, but for some reason it seems like Cordain tries too hard to avoid being categorized with other low-carb/high-fat diets...</p> <p>On thepaleodiet.com's FAQ section Cordain even goes as far as to continue the demonization of saturated fat - citing it as dangerous. I have to wonder if this is truly his opinion, or if he thinks this is one of the only ways to avoid classification with Dr. Atkins?</p> <p>Personally, I eat fewer than 80g of carbs a day, and most days I'm lower than 50g. I don't even think about it and find myself wanting grass-fed meat/healthy fats if I do even get a craving.</p> <p>I agree with Patrik's recommendation to the PaNu prescription - less thought required and way easier to comply with in my opinion!</p> <p>Check out John Welbourn's blog for a good post on Saturated fat - <a href="http://talktomejohnnie.com/diet/saturated-fats" rel="nofollow">http://talktomejohnnie.com/diet/saturated-fats</a></p> <p><strong>From the paleodiet.com FAQ <em></strong>"The diet doctors with their low-carbohydrate, high-fat diets offer us an alternative, but this nutritional gambit is nothing more than a short term ploy to lose weight that in the long run is unhealthy because of its reliance upon fats (bacon, butter, fatty meats, cheeses, etc.) at the expense of healthful fruits and vegetables.... My research group and I believe that the high amounts of dietary saturated fats in the western diet promote atherosclerosis because they down-regulate the LDL receptor (a concept for which the Nobel prize in medicine was awarded in 1984). We do not believe that dietary saturated fats are the sole or even main cause of atherosclerosis, but rather are a part of many dietary elements that promote heart disease."</em></p>

<p>As a CrossFit and RKC/Pavel aficionado, I think I see the problem here. A lot of folks who are new to CrossFit methodologies have a problem with the fact that everyone does the same thing - and there's no customization for the individual.</p> <p>Greg Glassman, founder of CrossFit, says the fitness needs of our grandparents and elite military operators should differ by degree of intensity, not kind.</p> <p>I wholeheartedly agree with this perspective. The problem is that people who are new to the community have a hard time understanding <em>all</em> the elements of intensity. Intensity can define range of motion, weight used, time taken, etc.. not simply reps completed.</p> <p>If someone has a serious hip mobility issue, a good trainer's going to address that individually - thus affecting the intensity... also referred to as Power = Force x Distance / Time</p> <p>I've personally worked with adapting CrossFit for wounded veterans with a tremendous amount of success - where everyone does nearly the exact same movement, tailored for the individual. It also has the effect of bringing about a sense of camaraderie that you won't find in any other type of gym outside a MMA/combative school.</p> <p>I do tend to agree with Jae and the FB poster on one point in particular - CrossFit has grown very fast and sometimes that can bring down the overall quality of instruction. Saying that injury is eminent though is a joke. I was certified in Aug. of 2008 and have admittedly learned more after I was certified than I did through the process... but, you'd be hard pressed to find a group of trainers without a few relatively <em>green</em> folks compared to veterans.</p> <p>To say that Yoga, which can have equally disastrous consequences under the care of a poor instructor, is more capable of improving an individual's life more than CrossFit is absurd in my opinion.</p>

<p>I used to get burps off minimal doses... then I started using enteric coated capsules and keep them refrigerated - haven't had a fishy burp since then.</p>

<p>I'd be interested to see more research links on this as well.</p> <p>I've read somewhere before that 6 packets of splenda/artificial sweeteners is capable of killing a substantial portion (up to 50%) of the acidophilus in your small intestine...but I'm spacing where I found it.</p> <p>If that's the case, it will have a significant impact on your G.I. tract/digestion, immune system, etc.</p> <p>On his Paleolithic Solution podcast Robb Wolf says most of the insulin response to food occurs from sweet tastes...elevated insulin leads to more hunger for sugar. Which could explain some things in this article... <a href="http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/96849.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/96849.php</a></p>
