Paleo, Zone, Atkins, South Beach, Ketogenics? What are you supposed to do? Well, truth be told, aside from the food quality improvement of Paleo and maybe the inflammatory inhibition of the Zone (which Paleo does better, IMHO, and truthfully I think has more to do with the Omega 3's than the Zone itself anyway) everything else is just hormonal control. All of the mainstream diets are basically attempting to do the same thing just to varying degrees of extremity. They are all trying to maintain hormonal stabilization of insulin through regulation of your blood glucose levels with each meal. Some address other important hormones and are more effective as a whole, but insulin control is the biggie.

If you understand this and how to actually control insulin then any one of the aforementioned 'diets', and a host of others, will all work. BUT one of them, with the timely and knowledgeable application of principles from two of the others, will blow ALL of them out of the water.

Here at the Forge we prefer Paleo above all others with a heavy eye towards hormonal manipulation and control through selectivity of your Paleo choices.

We enlist an indepth and extreme understanding of bio and organic chemistry along with molecular biology to apply Paleo in a way you have never experienced or read about. Our methods are unparalleled and we have the results and first hand testimonials to prove it. Try us out and judge for yourself.

It's really hard to argue with real world results. And membership definitely has its privileges so click here to become a member.

This was a post on nutrition guru Robb Wolf's blog following the CrossFit Nutrition Certification in Atlanta.

There are host of digestive ailments which benefit enormously from a gluten free Paleo diet: IBS, Crohns, Celiac, diverticulitis…and ulcerative colitis. This was the condition that I was developing when I was eating my way to oblivion via grains, legumes and the like. The options presneted to me included bowel resection and mega-doses of corticosteroids…all at the ripe old age of 28!

Damien Roop has been kind enough to share his experience with UC and what a gluten free paleo diet has done for him. No drugs, no surgery, just fucking results. Sincere thanks to Damien for sharing this.

Paleo - for the first time, all over again

Robb, where do I begin? I supposed I should start at the place that will get us to the end pretty quickly and with a reasonably clear understanding of what has happened to me attending your Nutrition cert. First, let me say that I loved it! As far as all the certs go, and I have been to six of them now, this was by far the missing piece to the puzzle and the most information-dense of the lot.
