neal:

Since it's a college text, older editions are usually available for a substantial discount.

James:

It was a pleasure to finally meet you!  I'm glad you've put the stickers to good use.  If you need more, let me know.

Also, I went back and re-read the paper you sent -- and it makes a lot more sense to me now that I've done so much more reading on mitochondrial bioenergetics and compensatory adaptation.

eddie:

The bibliography will make a lot more sense once you've seen the presentation!

Ash:

That's exactly why I disclaimed my recommendation with "There is very little bad nutrition advice...only a few pages out of several hundred."  And yes, the bad advice starts on page 366.

It's also funny that all their nutrition recommendations are aimed at "make sure your muscles are absolutely stuffed with glycogen at all times".  While full reserves are best for optimum performance in competition, fasted training and glycogen-depleted training are proven to increase the basal rate of fat oxidation, and consequently maximum aerobic capacity...so they're definitely behind the curve.

Beowulf, eddie:

People claim paleo is "restrictive" because of the lack of hearthealthywholegrains, while forgetting that the Nutrition Guidelines for Americans restrict the entire food group that made us human -- meat.  And eggs.  Hint: if you have to "fortify" foods with vitamins because the people who try to survive on it die of deficiency diseases, they're not worth eating in the first place.

And don't worry about me turning into a Peatarian.  Based on my own reading and research, I agree with Emily Deans: "Peat has some interesting ideas, but I've seen him write with great authority on a few subjects he clearly had absolutely no experience with, and so I don't trust him at all."  (That observation also applies to his many popularizers.)

Thanks, everyone, for your support!  I too am looking forward to the videos from this year, and I'm assured they'll be done sooner than they did last year.
