I've lost 1kg in the last week presumably because I rode over 700km over the weekend. I'm monitoring my calorie intake ATM and going to read the Diet Cults book once I've finished reading Michael Hurchinson's brilliant 'faster'.
I've got Matt Fitzgerald's cookbook. Many of his recipes would not look out of place in a paleo cookbook, but he rejects that philosophy because it's unscientific, and many recipes would clearly not make a paleo or low carb advocate happy. For example, I made his pearl barley and tomato soup. It was /very/ filling and had a low calorie content. I watched a youtube interview (quite long, 40 minutes) yesterday where he argued that human evolution has been all about dietary adaptability and we have the ability to thrive on a huge range of diets as a result. Which is why the Inuit (high fat, high protein, low carb), and the Tukisenta (94% carb) both exist. What differs between the Tukisenta carb source (sweet potato) and a doughnut is quality.
