Some of the author's suggestions were a little extreme or impractical for me...like buying an extra fridge to store entire pigs or cows. But all in all I got soooo much from reading this book. I agree with a lot that you talked about in your post.TriCourthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03427346559287431029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592710836119402421.post-18181536705316489552009-08-19T12:46:12.278-05:002009-08-19T12:46:12.278-05:00I read this book last year and the Thrive book by ...I read this book last year and the Thrive book by Brendan Frasier...very informative!

While the simple sugars in gels and sports drinks may appear to be exactly the kind of food that should be avoided, I think that <b>when</b> these calories are consumed should be examined in context. I was actually thinking of that for another blog post. ;)Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01408583982804238329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592710836119402421.post-27204837758452086142009-08-11T16:04:16.045-05:002009-08-11T16:04:16.045-05:00Mark sent me here, too.

I thought that In Defense of Food was good but didn't say much that hadn't already been said in the Omnivore's Dilemma and in some other books I've recently read.<br /><br />If you really want to rip apart your nutrition assumptions, check out "Good Calories, Bad Calories" by Gary Taubes. The low-fat, high-carb diet that most folks eat today is wreaking havoc on their response to insulin, leading to the related conditions of obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Fascinating stuff. <br /><br />He doesn't say much about athletic performance, though ... I *think* that we still need carbs for that, and that our activity levels help inoculate us against insulin resistance.Chris Tremontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18238253339063432588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592710836119402421.post-51324928648719170752009-08-11T13:45:31.772-05:002009-08-11T13:45:31.772-05:00Thanks for the information.
