Adrienne Smith asked:
> does anyone know if Cordain has a web site?
> I searched but couldn't find one.
Professor Loren Cordain has a web page rather than a website. He's a
fulltime academic and just wouldn't have time to run a website as well as
his demanding academic career. See
http://www.cahs.colostate.edu/hes/cordain.htm.
Adrienne also asked if anyone was following Cordain'r dietary
recommendations.
I follow the Cordain model with a couple of variations: (1) only organic
meat, lots of organ meats and fish and only raw vegetables, that is, one
or two large salads a day, (2) no recipes or anything that could be
classified as cookbook or gourmet cooking. At present, in preparation for
a b
lood test, there's a third variation (3) I'm keeping my protein down to
50g meal and I chose to use the Natural Hormonal Enhancement model to do
this: it essentially involves keeping carbs down to 30g a day except for
two evening meals a week when you have a high carb and low protein, low
fat meal. For the high carb meals, I eat fruit, carrots and a mix of
tubers which would have been available to the gatherers among the hunter-
gatherers: yams, sweet potato and taro [no potato]. After the blood test,
I'll drop the tubers and have larger meals consisting solely of meat about
once every day or two.
I didn't have any fat loss or fitness goals, but I have noticed that I've
become a bit more <cut> since dropping all non-paleo foods, taking up meat
[after thirty years a vegetarian] and switching my exercises away from a
regular pattern or routine and towards brief, intense efforts, never
more
than a single set. I believe that Paleo food without Paleo activity is
only part of the picture and lies in the realm of a consumer choice rather
than a commitment.
