Time to ditch the Paleo.



Recommended Posts

has the club ditched this stupid fad diet yet?

Bloody ridiculous it was ever implemented,

Did you bother to read that they aren't doing a true paleo or that it's being tailored to the individual's need? Or is it just easier for you to make brash statements in the shock jock style of Alan Jones?

What are you on about? Chris Dawes lost 8 kilos from it and now in career best form!

People point to T Mac to say the paleo works, what abut the 10 other senior players that are out of form?

T Macs improved form is just natural progression and hard work

No room for Hollywood fad diets in sport, whether slightly modified or not

They go alright running repeat twenty yard sprints in 40 degree heat for days on end.

The blame the diet outrage in this thread is baseless. The comment was that 'fad diets' have no place in professional, elite sport. There are however many examples where special 'fad' diets have very positive effects on elite sports men and women.

how do you reckon they'd go at 120 minutes of afl footy?

see my prev post

Then why are you questioning a cricketers ability to run for 120 minutes based on what they eat? Seem you are saying that the paleo diet doesn't allow for that to occur, Gaz is a pretty good example of the fact it isn't the diet that is the problem.

no, no. just pointing out that different sports have different physical requisites and probably different concurrent nutritional requirements

additionally the cricket example is more anecdotal and opinionated than scientifically assessed

I was advised to remove myself from the diet.

It gave me a tendency to try and drag girls back to my room by the hair.

So i've gone back to using a club.

Rohypies getting too expensive Biff?

Exactly, and they would refuse to read Moonshadows posts so i was running out of coma inducing options.

Yes. Whenever I am really desperate for a kip I skim through Moonie's posts. Nod off immediately.

Yes ,the inner city Greens go on a bit.

It's like a cup of Horlicks for the brain.

Couldn't possibly be any worse than those tree-changer, rampant breeding, grow-your-owners that one hears about in the local police reports. I pity their neighbours. Can never get sleep within 500m of the stench.

I'm surprised you read up on things outside of cafe society.

Clearly these rural types dont belong near the cattle yards and meatworks of yuppie Melbourne anymore.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
