Friday, 02.05.10: "Sugar Addicts" Pwned by Paleo Eater

John Durant was the fellow who was featured in the New York Times piece about the growing paleo movement in New York.  Notice what he says about his diet and exercise routine. Also, take a look at what he's got on his feet.  Very down to earth stuff.  I think there is also a lot of overlap between what his exercise routine is and what CrossFit does and preaches.  Lifting heavy stuff, running, jumping, and swinging like a monkey is exactly what we do, and it is exactly the conditions under which our genetic forebearers had to live. 

The functional, enjoyable aspect of CrossFit, and apparently of MovNat and Parkour are probably the appeal to most people and why they look forward to their exercise instead of dreading it, like the denizens of stair climbing drones.

I'm glad to see not eating sugar constatantly and not participating in treadmill-hampster training is gaining some mainstream appeal.  We may possibly see 1 in 3 of our youngsters not obese and diabetic by adulthood.

Check out the video to see what he has to say.
