Hopefully I'll get some sleep at work.

another day on the short bus

 

[CBJ]

Little hung over after one too many dark and stormy last night. Only need to order a fork and I have everything to build up my new trail bike and then of course the snow and ice needs to go away so no rush I guess.

 

[DirtyMike]

Ten minutes left of my self-prescribed 45 on the elliptical this morning. Subjectively and objectively fat. These interview dinners are taking their toll.

Good morning.

grilled chicken/fish/veggies/water?

 

[stevew]

yesterday was a sad day.

grilled chicken/fish/veggies/water?

I've been trying to eat essentially paleo for the last year (+ gluten free, + as little vegetable oil as possible). Interview dinners have violated all of those goals/guidelines.

They were tasty, on the other hand.

are bugs paleo?

Yes they are, but the modern "paleo" diet is yet another fad diet with little historical basis.

There are almost zero raw nuts either that would be consumed historically by a real paleo man. Almost all nuts sold are cooked, even the ones labeled "raw" - truly raw nuts wouldn't taste good as a commercially distributed product and could more easily be contaminated. Unless your almonds or hazelnuts are from overseas, they are even pasteurized. Of course the raw fad diet is an even more extreme fad diet than paleo:

Sadly (for a raw foodist anyway) it has come to light that many of the comforting, satiating ingredients used in many raw foods have, at some point in their manufacturing process, been heated well over the raw-legal limit of 115°F. Most raw foodists know that almonds from California can no longer be considered raw as a result of a 2007 law requiring they be pasteurized, but the buck doesn't stop there. Other nuts such as pecans and cashews must be heated to remove their shells and skins. Macadamia nuts are usually dried at high temperatures. Most nut and seed butters are heated during the grinding process, simply as a result of the machinery getting hot. Dehydrated fruits are frequently pre-blanched and exposed to drying temperatures in excess of 200°F (same goes for seaweeds). Packaged frozen foods are pre-blanched to avoid spoilage. Even most "cold-pressed" oils become heated along the way as a result of the process taking place at high speeds. Vinegars, soy sauces, condiments... everything with a label is suspect.

Plus it's [lots of meat, dairy(not paleo), or eggs] bad for you:

Regular consumption of grilled/smoked/BBQ meat - bad, especially with nitrates:

Yesterday: Rode in the snow and ice.
Today: Rode in the snow and ice.
Tomorrow: Back to cubicles and conference rooms, mediated only by the beer fridge two cubes down.

A world without BBQ\Grilled\Smoked isn;t one I could live in....

I prefer to mainline nitrates.

I don't have a snow bike but I do ride out side all year as soon as the roads clear up from snow.

I rode to work the day after the snowstorm this week but I only live just over a half mile away. A bit slippery with 700x40c tires but no problems.

Fvck, I can't sleep.
