This is in response to a question I received from a co-worker. Since I'm not one to repeat work that's already been done (especially when it's been done better than I could do it myself), I will defer to Mark Sisson for a change. The question was about blood type-based diets, and here's the Mark's Daily Apple post on this and metabolic typing diets.

Work

Been unable to post due to time constraints. Here's a quick link that you may or may not be able to understand. I think I got most of it.

And because I rarely ever post links to Mark's Daily Apple, here's his post with recipes for different condiments you might like to put on your meatza or bunless cheeseburgers while eating real food.

My wish list these days is pretty short. I would like more time for sleeping inside and playing outside and sleeping outside and playing inside. I am in a bit of a transitional period working out how this is going to come into my life, so I can't promise regular posts or even coherent thought at the moment. Your forgiveness is appreciated in advance.

Links and re-statement

Okay, so today's post is just to provide a few links (some of which have been requested), including a few "get started" links from better bloggers than me.

The first is in response to a question about why I use stainless steel water bottles. One again,  Mark Sisson already covered the issue here.

The second is for people who might be new to some part of what I promote. I can't decide whether it's better to suggest you get Mark Sisson's new poster or whether you check out Kurt Harris's 12 steps. I'd actually lean toward the latter for the true beginner, but you definitely can't go wrong in either case.

Non-stick cooking with Deathlon

It has recently come to my attention that I'm amongst a vast minority of people unaware of the apparent dangers of Teflon. Even leaving an empty pan on the stove accidentally for a bit can release some pretty harmful stuff.

After all the trouble I went to of tracking down a good price on stainless steel reusable water bottles, it turns out I now need to replace my frying pans. Too bad they don't have some kind of substance you can add to stainless pans to make things fail to stick. It would be great if they came up with something you could just toss in there that would keep food from sticking, and maybe give you some extremely healthy, vital macro- and micronutrients.

That's all I got for you...

Thoughts...

I've been working hard to decrease my protein intake over the past few weeks. This means plenty of dairy for me, lots of sour cream and cream cheese and cream and other things with the word "cream" (but lacking the word "ice" as that stuff is full of sugar).

I have to say I've felt much better. Digestion has been ultra-problem free and I've felt good and strong, slept well, and had great results.

Last night, I went very protein heavy and a really hard workout today ended with some discomfort. Really strong evidence that Nora Gedgaudas has the whole "Low carb, moderate protein, enough fat to stay/feel full" thing down pat. I was also weighing in at 11th grade kinds of numbers throughout the week.

Here's one of the better articles extolling the facts about saturated fats and their unrighteous vilification. If you're not convinced of this by now, you probably wouldn't be reading my blog anyway, but this would be a perfect link to send to friends and family who may suspect you're nuts for eating butter and tallow instead of whole wheat pasta with sugar-laden tomato sauce.

Another cop-out post that's just a link

Cardio causes heart disease.

Right out of my mouth

Mark Sisson, once again, has a post today that I could've written myself, were I a better writer with a greater knowledge base. Okay, a post I wish I had written myself then. Enjoy!
