It'll be interesting if this is a continuing trend. Scores allowed in the first halves thus far: 5.13.43. Scores allowed in the second halves: 23.10.148.

A bottle of wine then.

Low fat, natural grape sugar.

Everybody wins.

actually there is negligible amounts of sugar in wine. it is converted to alcohol by fermentation

in fact wine is known to lower blood sugar levels by preventing the liver from producing glucose (hypoglycaemia)

It is odd dc. I constantly argue the health value of wine with my doctor yet she constantly disagrees and advocates a permanent "Febfast" for me. She must be out of touch.

To those following these Paleo-type diets, wondering what you're doing for breakfast?

Suggestions?

I have two teenagers at home. We're vegetarian, have always been healthy-eaters, but do enjoy our pastas and Saturday night pizzas. Not sure how far I could push it!

(A gnat's under 6 foot, 64 kg ... do a lot of fairly serious bike riding)

I eat raw nuts and dried fruit (sultanas, goji berries, cranberries) in a bowl with honey and coconut milk. If i have time I smash the nuts and cover in honey and cinnamon and place in an oven to get a crunchy cluster type cereal.

Although not strictly paleo, you can replace regular pasta with rice pasta (rice is controversial among people following paleo). Or ypu can make zucchini noodles. Pizza is tougher, if you are like me and allow yourself rice, you can use rice flour to make a nice glueten free dough. Otherwise you can use almond flour. There are a stack of paleo pizza recipes online. have a look.

That is horrendous.

On DeeTv Chris Dawes says he's dropped 7-8 kgs that's a lot of weight to drop in a few months. I'm interested to see how it effects his game.

kgs or "key grabs"?

I was concerned when I heard that our players were on a paleo diet. Because of the low carbs. Wondered if they would be able to play out matches with full intensity. Tennis players deliberately load up on carbs and laugh if they see their opponent sneaking a bar of chocolate for a sugar boost.

And we have had some fadeouts. Coincidence? Maybe. But maybe this paleo thing needs reviewing at end of season.

The article you have listed has blasted Paleo diet because Paleolithic man would have eaten carbs.

The club is not on a Paleo diet. They are on a very low/ no carb diet.

Our players can still have dairy and processed meats.

The reason why the club is on this diet is because of the benefits of no carbs. Not because they are following the Paleo 'fad'.

To be fair, most people on the Paleo diet don't give a [censored] what Paleolithic man ate. They are doing it for the benefits of no carbs.

So what we really should be thinking about is - Is the science behind low carb diets correct? What are the benefits?

Here is a link to Catalyst with a lot of information. You will see Professor Tim Noakes interviewed, he was the man who worked with Misson to get the diet into our club.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
