\"Paleo<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A confluence of factors in the last year have made me more interested in the science of diet and food supplements.  For many the Crossfit training I regularly now do goes hand in hand with “eating Paleo” (low on dairy and processed carbs), and although I don’t do Paleo myself I’ve lost almost 20kg doing Atkins-style low-carb diets in the last 12 or so months. One of my latest projects is in the area of high quality sports training supplements.  On the inter-web Paleo, low-carb and supplement discussions tend to be accompanied by a lot of zealous advocacy and cast in stone beliefs, whose foundation often seems to owe more to endless repetition than substance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will be the first post linking on-line resources that seem to apply some scientific rigour to these topics, and help sort the wheat from the chaff…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whole Health Source <\/a>a blog-site by a biochemist whose hobby is the study and convey time-tested strategies for achieving and maintaining health and well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ancestral Health Society<\/a> organises an annual conference on the science surrounding the Paleo eating movement.  The speeches are available on Vimeo, and my endurance athletes might be interested in this presentation<\/a> by a cardiologist about the (un)healthiness of endurance events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally for this first post, for those who are really interested in the science, and how to critically look at studies there’s Alan’s Blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together these provide a pretty good launch pad to other resources positioning themselves at the scientifically critical end of the Paleo and low-carb “cool-aid” spectrum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For my next post I’ll focus on the science (or lack thereof) surrounding exercise diet supplementation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
