Time to ditch the Paleo.

[Moonshadow 16,385]

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

Well put Alan Jones. Are you a dietician or sports scientist by chance? Thought not......

Australian Cricket team have been going alright the last 18 months...

Australian Cricket team have been going alright the last 18 months...

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

different requirements

[TeamPlayedFine39 8,187]

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.

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

He could do pretty well eating nothing at all

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.

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.

Would it have something to do with the two flagons of cheap red you have guzzled?

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.
