*.* 2014 General Fitness Thread *.*

Welcome to 2014! Now get your ass in top physical condition!

No one else started it so here it is!

**From the 2013 Thread**

If you want to get back into lifting, or need a new lifting routine, START HERE:

http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wi...inner_Programs

If you have questions about the SS programs, look here:

http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ

Keep in mind that you're a novice lifter for a longer period of time than you think you are. Novice lifting can last anywhere from a few months to a year or two, depending on how hard you hit the weights and where you started.

Once you've reached the point where you don't make regular progress on the SS program, you are ready to move on to the intermediate stage, which can last you for a good number of years. Find it HERE:

http://madcow.hostzi.com/5x5_Program/Linear_5x5.htm

If you're a very advanced lifter (many, many years of CONSISTENT weight training), then there are lot of programs out there, and which one you pick is simply a matter of preference. If you're really that advanced, you should know what works for you and what doesn't by this point.

If it makes you feel better, by all means buy it.
I'm not talking about 'only' butter, but more importantly grass fed beef, which has been proven over and over to be more nutrient dense as well as having almost 5x the omega 3's. I dont really care for the butter, but I do buy the beef as it makes up 65% of my protein intake.

You're either eating like our ancestors, or you're not. If you're not, then stop trying to sell the whole paleo ancestral heritage mantra.

Nail heads have met their hammers.

But more generally, it's impossible to "eat paleo" because everything we eat now is different than it was a million years ago. We've bred cows differently. Our vegetables are DRASTICALLY different. And then on top of it, most paleo dieters make exceptions. It's irritating when someone says "I'm eating paleo, except on the weekends when I'll eat some cake." Well, you aren't ****ing eating Paleo, are you? You should eat food because you like it and because it does something good for you, which, granted, a lot of Paleo food does. But a lot of non-Paleo food is just fine, too. I actually eat mostly Paleo, but it's because they are foods I enjoy and those foods are good for me. But I don't say "I'm eating Paleo." I eat a lot of non-Paleo shit. That doesn't mean it's bad. /end rant

Personally, I can't justify the extra expense for grass fed beef. It's much more economical to buy regular beef and then take omega 3 supplements, or get it from other sources.

I don't know a single person who eat grasses fed beef just because it eats grass.

For me it's the nutrients...

2-5x more omega 3's and I try to maximize my O3 intake.
Stearic acid
2-3x more Conjugated linoleic acid
Along with higher levels of vitamins and minerals

Costs can be lowered by going direct to a rancher and buying a quarter or even half a cow at a time. The other down side is flavor, it doesn't taste as good and it's lower fat content can make it difficult to cook with.

But if flavor is the only deciding factor then why wouldn't everyday be tacos and cake.

I'm a poor white girl. If I can get the nutrients I need for a lower price, I'm paying the lower price.

All of this is certainly true, but you're multiplying very small amounts. So yeah, it's 5x as much Omega 3, but the overall amount is very small. Same with the vitamins and minerals. It's like 5% more.

Is it better? Absolutely. Is it something that one must break the bank on? Not really. The difference is easily made up for far less than the price difference between grass finished and grain finished.

I've noticed the "multiplying" place of marketing lately. Let's say a product has 5mg of Omega 3. Another product claims to have 5x this value, which is a whopping 25mgs. Is it 5x more? Sure is. Does it come close to the amount of Omega 3 you want, nope. But you just spent $1-2 more per pound for it (you got took!). Good selling scheme because many people are unaware of values.

The goal is to balance out O3 and O6 in an effort to control systematic inflammation. The total mgs are almost irrelevant. "Multiplication" marketing is also irrelevant in this case due to a grain fed serving coming with a much worse starting O3/O6 balance.

Like everything else it's a choice. Similar to buying farm raised salmon over wild caught. There is certainly a difference between the two choices.

Paleo is very similar to the way I eat, but I really don't care about all of the caveman crap. I also don't care about the name paleo. I avoid dairy because it makes me break out. I try to avoid bread and pasta because they make me very bloaty. One or both of those things also exacerbates my allergies, too. I eat beans and peanuts, though, because I like them and they don't seem to bother me at all.

I get that it's super cool to bag on whatever is popular, but I cant think of a lot of bad things to say about eating fruits, veggies, nuts, unprocessed meats, etc. It's all good stuff. I don't eat paleo, but I have several paleo recipe books because everything in there is in line with the way I eat.

I do care what the animal ate, although it can be tough to know. I try to avoid meat full of hormones and drugs as best I can.

I think most of us likely eat pretty "Paleo," and I think that's the beef (haha) with it. The need to repackage everything in some trendy, cool narrative full of truthiness is what sticks in my craw. Though it doesn't really irritate me, as I'm pretty fascinated by successful marketing narratives, so I respect the stickiness of the Paleo concept from that standpoint.

But it's not irrelevant when you consider that it's quite easy to balance out in other, cheaper ways.

Again, I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying there's a cheaper and easier way to do it, for those of us that are so inclined.

I will say that both paleo and veganism's moves away from dairy are great things, though. I'm a firm believer that a huge portion of our population suffering from IBS, Crohn's, and other random digestive ailments could be in large part "cured" by refraining from dairy.

Hell, I still eat a milkshake or some ice cream on occasion, but I do so with full knowledge that I'm going to pay for it in the coming hours (actually, anyone who has to share space with me is going to pay).

My dad had chronic stomach issues as long as I can remember. He also had a bowl of ice cream for breakfast every morning and a bowl before bed every night. After he retired, he went on a fitness kick and stopped eating ice cream. Amazingly, his stomach issues completely disappeared. I'm kind of astounded that no doctor ever suggested to him that he might experiment with refraining from dairy.
