How To Get Fitter, Faster and Stronger With Quality Sleep
"We all know how much sleep matters, but we rarely think about its effect
on our strength and fitness. Hopefully this post helps you realize the
extent of its reach. If you want optimal results, you cannot compromise
on sleep, nor can you train your way out of a deficit."–Mark Sisson, Mark's Daily Apple

Debunking The Paleo Diet: A Wolf's Eye View
Long, but extremely insightful piece on the Paleo Diet.  Robb Wolf, author of the Paleo Solution, offers a rebuttal to a TED talk given by Harvard-educated archeologist, Prof. Christina Warinner.    If you don't have the time to watch her 22 minute presentation don't despair.  Do make the time to read Robb's post AND the numerous comments following the post.  That's where the real good stuff can be found.–George
