Shoot, I can't edit posts, but the reason I even quoted you was to reply about the fast: Yes, I totally lost my sex drive. It was the weirdest feeling in the world, not being a horny toad.

What about peanut butter? Is that acceptable in the Paleo? Just curious. I spread it on fruits instead of bread.
Where in the heck can you find wooly mammoth steaks?
No. Peanuts aren't true nuts; they're legumes. They're prone to contamination by aflatoxin (a toxic, carcinogenic mold), are highly allergenic, and inflammatory (on a cellular level).Quote:

Thanks Vic!
It is a very nice thread...

Do protein shakes fit into this line of eating? I have been drinking one after every class. I figure it's better than beer, you know, for my body/liver.
I'm not into weight lifting or body building, but we do a pretty intensive warmup, so I figure the protein will help.
If you don't have access to quality whole foods immediately following a workout (30 mins or so when insulin sensitivity is highest), then a protein shake could be a good option, especially if you're doing any kind of anaerobic stuff during the workout (pushups, air squats, situps, etc.) that tears muscle fiber more significantly than shots, sprawls and such.Quote:

You might also be able to find a local grass fed, cold processed whey concentrate (never isolate!) if you have a health food store around you that stocks such things.
