I was listening to a Rob Wolf podcast this morning, some of which is
excellent and some of which I find questionable, and I started to
think, what are my health basics?
Diet: Very low carb, moderate protein paleo (100g of protein per day
on average); no dairy, no chocolate, no coffee; no fear of saturated fat
Supplements: Potassium, magnesium and fish oil if I'm not getting
sufficient Omega 3s from my food
Exercise: I believe exercise is ineffective for weight loss,
counterproductive even in the case of "aerobics." I do high intensity
weight training two times a week based on Arthur Jones' principles*.
I run barefoot (or in my Vibram Five Fingers shoes) a mile and a half
to the gym and a mile and a half home those two days a week. Saturday
mornings are always intense yardwork for two hours.
*As much as is possible with free weights. Arthur Jones said that
effective exercise is direct, variable, full range, full body (no
split body workouts), intense, single set. Oh, how I mourn the
availability loss of the Jones-designed Nautilus machines.
