Video of the week:
Dr. Stephen Phinney and Dr. Jeff Volek are basically the modern leaders in the low-carb diet field, or “keto” as it has become known as. I’ve been reading their work and following them for several years now. Here is a good primer on nutritional ketosis.

I’ve eaten what would be considered a very low carb diet for several years now. I haven’t had a weight loss goal at all during that time. I’ve stayed pretty much the same weight and body composition, and anything physically I set out to do I can usually accomplish. I do know that if I add back more than about 50grams of carbs per day, the body composition starts to suffer.

Think of our July Challenge nutrition guidelines as the “anti-processed food” diet. Good reasons to adopt that strategy full-time:

As it says on my business cards, form follows function. Train for performance and the aesthetics will follow.

We were talking about this just the other day. The benefit of concentric training is that you can do a bunch of it and recover fast.

If you really want to go with no processed food, here is an option. The only downside I’ve found is it is sometimes hard to get in enough calories. I am carnivore about 5 days of the week, with a few meals of some starches, fermented foods, and limited vegetables. Been that way for about the past year.

Bonus video. Short, and a few years old, but still dead-on. The idea that dietary fat and cholesterol is a problem within itself is a lie:

Photos this week: The people who carved these drawings didn’t eat processed food. They are near a site likely used to harvest wild game by some primitive people, an estimated 5,000-6,000 years ago:

Video of the week!

IGNORE some of the idiotic recommendations by modern bodybuilders. However, some great “bodybuilding” programs were used prior to the widespread use of steroids in bodybuilding. IKSC borrows from many of these old-school programs.

Most of the nutrition strategies that actually work these days borrow heavily from what we called a paleo diet, when you get down and really look at them.

The big marketing push for fake meats are nothing more than the biggest processed food makers’ latest effort to sell the cheapest crap at the lowest price.

Along the same lines, here is the real story about greenhouse gas emissions and cattle. I’ve listened to hours of the professor cited here….and my photo below was taken right in the middle of cattle grazing land.

This has been in the works for a few years now. I think I first heard of the different military units working on it in about 2014. Of course, lots of individual Navy SEALS were some of the first ones to jump on the paleo bandwagon. Robb Wolf actually did a bunch of nutrition consulting for them, and one of the big names in sleep research is Dr. Kirk Parsely and his work came directly from him working as doctor working directly with SEALS.
As an interesting side note, way back in the 1950s and 1960s fighter pilots used a ketogenic diet to drop weight fast if they had put on a few pounds (and were at risk of being grounded due to being to big) and there were Air Force directions on how to do it.

Creatine. It’s good stuff. This supplement is probably the most studied and safe sports supplement out there. I would say it is almost mandatory for anyone that avoids red meat for whatever reasons.

IKSC’s July Challenge! I plan on doing this.

Our training – that emphasizes work capacity – is different than “cardio.” There are many forms of endurance training: There is strength-endurance, power-endurance, and then cardiorespiratory endurance. It is important to have a mix of all of those in your training for a variety of reasons.

This 10 X 3 is similar to what we’ve done on our “Deadlifts for Days” or “Squats for Days” programs, with a few additions. https://www.t-nation.com/workouts/10-x-3-for-fat-loss

Every single thing we do at IKSC is an “ab” exercise. The goblet squat and the double kettlebell front squat are two of the most abdominal-intensive exercises you can do. Don’t automatically equate the soreness an exercise causes with the amount of muscular activation that actually occurs, or the amount of stress to a particular muscle.
(Note: This is also why we don’t mess around with things like planks very much.)

Choose animal proteins. It’s what we evolved to eat.

Video worth watching. This is one of the reasons I am against “chronic cardio.” It is no freak occurrence when an experienced marathon runner or triathlete drops dead of a heart attack, as we hear about now and then.

Eleven Pounds of Inflammation and Water Weight: TRAINING AND NUTRITION BLOG: 10/02-10/03/2011

Eleven Pounds of Inflammation and Water Weight: TRAINING AND NUTRITION BLOG: 10/02-10/03

I’ve told this story a bunch of times and it’s been on my Boise Kettlebell Lifting blog since 2011. This was my big wake up call on nutrition. I’d been eating a good paleo diet for quite a while, with some junk here and there. Since I was just beginning October, it looks like I was keeping track of my monthly kettlebell snatch number.

Enjoy…

TRAINING:
10/02

REST DAY
10/03
200 24KG KETTLEBELL SNATCHES
100 HINDU PUSHUPS

4,800 LEFT.

NUTRITION:

First of all, let me begin by saying that I do not have a weight loss goal, or I would not have been eating or drinking any of this stuff at all. I have actually been dropping about one pound per week for the past month, and have been monitoring my weight so I don’t drop too much more.

I have been keeping a very strict diet for quite some time now, but allow myself one meal per week where I eat anything I want.

Right before I left the gym on Sunday (about 12:30 p.m.), I weighed myself at 228lbs. Up until that point I had only had about 50gr of whey protein, 2000mg of fish oil and about 1/2 gallon of water.

About 230pm I had about five strips of bacon, two small tomatoes, one broccoli crown with Ranch dressing, and a big handful of raw almonds.

Since my little sister was in town for her birthday, we had them over for dinner and grilled a whole bunch of grassfed hamburgers. I had one, wrapped in lettuce and some salad.

Jennifer (my sister) brought some Widmer ale over, and I decided to indulge in two India Pale Ales (I love, love IPA) and most of a Hefeweizen. So, about 36oz total of a thick ale in all.

My other sister, Jacqui, decided to mess with me and my paleo nutrition and brought a package of powdered donuts with raspberry filling. She dared me to eat one. I totally took her up on it and ate two. I also polished off an Idaho Spud bar (sugar bomb). I haven’t eaten anything like this in a long, long time.

About 7 a.m. today I tried to down some protein and some fish oil capsules. I noticed before that that I had the worst case of acid reflux and my eyes and face were puffy. After downing the protein, I immediately threw up violently. I felt absolutely awful. I looked in the mirror and noticed that I had huge circles under my eyes and my face looked pale and felt as big as a basketball. Of course, no one looks their best immediatley after vomitting, but I was so swollen. I continuted to feel absolutely horrible throughout the day: No energy, slow thinking, and a slight headache.

Now, I weigh enough that 36oz of beer is not enough to cause a hangover of this magnitude. I would probably feel it, but not to this degree. I can drink a lager beer, wine or shot(s) of tequila and not feel it at all. But, none of those have the amount of wheat and grain that these thick ales do.

When I got to the gym this morning (about 7:20 a.m.), I weighed myself on the same scale I had the day before, wearing clothing and shoes almost identical to the day before. My weight?

239lbs!

11 pounds of inflammation and water weight. I thought there was something up with the scale, so I weighed again. Same result.

I immediately began drinking as much water as possible, probably a little over two gallons by day’s end.

About 2 p.m. I ate 1/2 of a large avocado with lemon and cayenne pepper, about two ounces of BBQ pork jerky, one large broccoli crown with lemon juice, two small tomatoes, 2,000mg of fish oil, 2000 i.u. of vitamin D and a multivitamin. I also ate a whole large orange.

About 5:30 p.m. I weighed myself, after hydrating well and taking two scoops of Nutrex Hemo Rage with creatine. My weight had dropped to 235.

By 9 p.m., after drinking another gallon of water, and eating a banana and 25gr of whey protein postworkout, I was down to 233. Six pounds lighter than first thing that morning.

For dinner tonight I ate about 12oz of steak, 2,000mg fish oil, and 1/2 of a large pineapple, with some roobios tea to fight the inflammation and allergic reaction.

This was the worst reaction I have ever had to sugar/grains, and I rarely consume this stuff. I can’t totally explain all of the reasons for this huge reaction, but the scale sure didn’t lie.

All I can say is that humans are not built to ingest grains any more than a horse is built to eat bacon, and it goes without saying that all the sugar in the alcohol and donuts is poison. I would venture a guess that many people who eat and drink these things on a regular basis are carrying around this type of inflammation every single day without realizing it.
