Fuel Grade
If you’ve been hanging around the gym, you will no doubt hear the words “paleo”, “Zone”, and “insulin response” in our discussions about nutrition and what foods to eat. You might have even seen Scott with his mammoth crockpot and his latest paleo recipe for his second recipe book. When you are working this hard to be fit, your attention to food and nutrition should be just as important as learning hip explosion or an upgright body squat.
A recently released book, Good Calories, Bad Calories, by Gary Taubes, presents a thorough review of the literature regarding the high-carb, low-fat health initiative started in the 70’s and how the research never did quite add up. Too busy to read? Check out his lecture at UC Berkley here.
