Paleo Diet For Couch Surfers
With it pouring rain all day, I had grand ideas of spinning my legs on the trainer tonight to burn some calories. But I'm coming down off of a "TOO High Caffeine High" and I think I'm tired just from twitching and rocking the "jimmy leg" (def. #2. for now, ha!) all day.
Note to self: When I'm NOT tired and I have NO work to do, getting a Starbuck's coffee at lunch time, after my a.m. 30+ oz., just for "something to do" IS A VERY BAD IDEA!! Holy crap! Now I feel like a I need to take a Valium!
I've been doing some reading on this book...
I'm intrigued and wouldn't mind reading it, but I just don't think it would work for me. Mostly because it's against large quantities of grains (pasta/rice/cereals) and beans. ALL things I can NOT live without. What's life without beans?? I wonder if THAT sentence has EVER even been written before?SIDE NOTE- a car alarm is currently going off outside. Does ANYONE even flinch when they hear an alarm? It's always just someone who's sat on their keys, or a bird just shit on their car or something. Hell, at this point if you're a car thief and want to steal a car, all you need is the ability to put up with the damn horn blaring for a few minutes 'till you drive the f*cker away. Even if it's my car, take it! Just stop that damn horn from blowing!! SIDE NOTE OFF.
Anyway, back to the book. I think it would be neat to get another point of view on sports nutrition other than "eat carbs/lean proteins". It might be ok during the off season, but I really don't see it working for me during the season. Shit, if I can't eat XL amounts of pasta and beans what good is riding and racing??
Oh well, that's all I got. Time to try to come down and make up some rice and beans.
Later.
EDIT/SIDE NOTE- Two hours later as I sat watching Dirty Jobs on Discovery, I hear my car alarm going off. I don't move. Then I hear a ruckus. Wifey and B-Man enter the house. I casually say "why is my car alarm going off?" Wifey says, "I don't know I must have hit a button or something." (told you!) SIDE NOTE OFF.

Paleo diet is very popular among athletes. I believe Lynda W. follows it. Basically.....eat like a cave man.
i don't think the paleo diet would work for you, given the kind of exercise you do. the paleo diet is more for people who exercise like they live in a real world situation -- where endurance counts, but all around fitness matters, too.
not saying you aren't fit. but i am saying that cavemen didn't tend to ride -- or run -- for tens of miles at a time without stopping to eat anything more than a gel pack. bananas, favorite foods of cyclists, would work great in the paleo diet. but then again, you'd have to carry a lot of them.
what i like about the paleo diet is the nutrient value of the food — really high.
You are the first one to ever utter those words if Google is to be believed...

Yeah, I just don't think I dig the concept. Way more meat than I like to eat. Plus I'm a pasta junkie.
Travis- thanks for the research ;)
Nice to hear from you again.

I started following the Paleo diet, and it's working pretty well. I do cheat, as I am an athelete and I will eat whole grain pasta the night before a game, plus I drink way to much. But all in all, it's worked wonders for me. I've written a blog on my experience if you are interested. CaveManEats.blogspot.com
