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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
