I’ve been following a Paleo nutrition for the better part of a year now. I first got to know about it through Tim Ferriss recommending the Paleo Solution by Robb Wolff. I’m now doing an 8 week strict Paleo plan and loving it so far. I thought it would be difficult but like anything else, once you make a commitment it is easy. It’s always good to read inspiring stories like the one below about Sean and how he has pretty much beaten Type 1 Diabetes and doing Ironman competitions.

I’d known Erica since high school–she’s always been slim and athletic, and also happens to be one of the smartest people I know. She had recently started CrossFit and running marathons, both of which intrigued me as “good” paths toward “great” health (I would learn later this was naive, but more on that later). When we got to the discussion of diet, she told me that her diet was entirely grain-free. No bread. No pasta. She lived off the fat of the land, literally, to run marathons. I distinctly remember thinking that my friend of over fifteen years may have developed a severe mental condition. Maybe it was something in Seattle’s water supply. I felt increasingly nervous about her mental state when she told me of her plan next year to hunt and kill a wild pig, store it in an industrial meat locker in her “home office” and then cook the captured beast, hooves and all.
