Sorry, Neo Cavemen, But Your Paleo Diet Is Pretty Much Bullshit

Sorry, Neo Cavemen, But Your Paleo Diet Is Pretty Much Bullshit
As a general rule, it's a good idea to let people eat what they want and leave them alone about it. If someone wants to be vegan, who cares? Let them be vegan. If someone is avoiding gluten, fine! So long as they're not trying to take the donut out of your mouth (which is an easy way to lose a finger) or make it harder for people with real allergies to be taken seriously, then let them avoid gluten. All the more donuts for you! An adult's personal diet isn't really anyone else's business, so it's weird to harass someone for not making the same dietary choices that you make.
Unless we're talking about the paleo diet, which we can all agree is a dumb diet for dumb people who all need to be told how dumb they are.
Joking, of course. If you're a man who wears toe shoes and keeps his hair in one of those greasy half-ponytails, then the paleo diet might be perfect for you.  read more


TOPFIT Daily Activities --- Upper Table Rock Run
I started the day before sunrise with a couple of brisk 1/2 mile walks with a client in the 17 deg morning air.  After the temps warmed up into the 20s, I had a fun run on Upper Table Rock.  I had intended on doing some sort of workout in my gym later, but too many chores and errands kept popping up, so I guess I'll get to that tomorrow.

About Your Trainer

Hi! I'm Patrick Frey, your in-home, online and on-the-trail Personal Trainer, Fitness Educator, and Strength & Conditioning Specialist. With over 35 years of fitness experience, and certifications from the National Strength and Conditioning Association, the International Sports Sciences Association, and the American Council on Exercise, I have the knowledge and experience you need to reach your health and fitness goals. My interests over the years have included running, bicycling, cross-country skiing, hiking, backpacking, bodybuilding, powerlifting, olympic lifting, volleyball, and general health, fitness and nutrition. I've trained hundreds of people of all ages and abilities from elite athletes to sedentary couch potatoes, in everything from well equipped gyms to un-equipped homes, online, in the park and on the trails. To me, there's nothing more exciting than helping people improve their health, look better, feel better, or improve their sports performance.
