"Shot Caller"(8.1.2011)
Janet and Nicole at Life As Rx Tour in Hartford, Ct!
I. Some Good Books and Articles to Consider Reading over the Next Few Months:
A. Good Calories, Bad Calories – Taubes – wow, lots in there, love the critical thinking around what is there in research and what lies beneath the work, and how we got to this shitty point on carbs and fats and the rest of the @#$%’ed up ideas around food guides, the lipid hypothesis,etc… – overall a long read, but real good insight; remember where this comes from and why
B. Catching Fire – wrangham – he thinks cooking is the shit, bottom line, to the point he believes it helped in our evolution, interesting..
C. BodyOpus – Duchaine – loved this guy in the old Muscle Media 2000 days prior to T-Mag and Testosterone and T-Nation; he was the Robb Wolf of the day (except I’m not aware of Robb being placed in jail at anytime in comparison? 🙂 for his work on nutrient timing, protocols for users and nutrient loading/unloading, cycling work for nutrients..etc…good shit
D. Food, Nutrition and Sports Performance – burke and coyle – good insight into what the Olympic groups want to see and research on athletes and food studies; good stuff on some specializing work; great basics on norms for endurance work folks; good info
E. Coping with Food Intolerances – Thom – Doc (who works with us now) gives some good insight into this inflamatory pathway, the why around it, and what we can do with it; also good read onto how it came to be that way, why..etc…
F. The China Study – Campbell – how can you make comments or sugestions against your beliefs if you do not know what they are saying or where they are coming from; good educational piece on how to change beliefs from some research – nice colors on the book also 🙂
G. The Schwarzbein principle – the program – Schwarzbein – great read on endocrine thoughts and ideas around life and nutrition tie in, good food examples and prescriptions based on what she sees and believes in; love the areas on hormones and physiology, love it
H. Nourishing Traditions – Fallon – I LOVE animal fats, bottom line, this is where i resonate here, but i like the old fashioned approach here with the hit on grains, wrong fats, etc…good stuff, as well some good recipes
 I. The Maker’s Diet – Rubin – I had the chance to see this guy come out of his shell and come back from the dead out of Chrons into making his products, books and have followed his ideas which are good ever since; I like his perspective on phasing foods, seasonal approaches as in healing with whole foods and hygiene thoughts and cleansing
 J. The Swiss Secret to Optimal Health – Rau – this guy’s program have helped a LOT of people in Europe; my Doc has seen this work first hand for peeps cleaning out their guts, getting the hormones ready for action – and i’ve seen it come back in tests after 1 month, better than anything else; there is the right time and place for it for the right person; his thoughts on food choices are coming from his “own” feelings and background but he has a system that takes care of some things so i like it at the right time
 K. Paleo Solution – Robb Wolf – everyone who comes through here gets it; great writing, very witty and keeps you into it – which is the way it is needed to sell the fact to people that grains are the devil and meat and veggies are king – done very well; backed by huge social proof – used by many with success and truly is the basic principles we should all apply day to day – BAM!
