Editorial review of Paleo Fitness by Robb Wolf

"With 'Paleo Fitness' Darryl has distilled the essence of Paleo nutrition and Primal fitness into plain English. He gives practical tips on how to get fitter, leaner, stronger and healthier than ever before by following the Paleo lifestyle. He's transformed his own life and is passionate about getting people to eat and move as nature intended.

This book is a useful reference to enable individuals just starting out on the Paleo path as well as those who want to explore more challenging, playful and interesting ways to move."--Robb Wolf, New York Times best-selling author of The Paleo Solution

120 Second Interview: Robb Wolf (Paleo Solution)

  120 Second Interview: Robb Wolf (Paleo Solution)

I recently caught up with Robb Wolf when he was in Europe recently with the Paleolithic Solution seminar.  I also took this opportunity to have another interview with him.  

If you haven't done so, you can read the first Robb Wolf 60 Second Interview

 --

Robb, what are your plans for the future?

I am working on a 2nd edition of the book (The Paleo Solution) with feedback, clinical experiences and advanced topics.  I am also conducting a  survey with Loren Cordain (author of The Paleo Diet). 

Based on the feedback I've had on the Paleolithic Solution seminars that are running - I will add advanced topic seminars for those interested in improving their knowledge on performance nutrition.

What's your current training regime?

I am currently focussing on Strength and Olympic lifting.   Volumes consist of reps covering sets of 10 x 2, 10 x 3.

My favourite exercises are Back Squats, single rep Clean & Jerk, Sprints, Bodyweight Exercises and any work that improves my gymnastic ability.  Whilst travelling I still attempt to do workouts when I have the opportunity to do so.

What's your favourite cheat meal?

Nachos, Sour Cream and Chillis.

When was the last time you doubted the benefits of the Paleo Diet?

Never doubted it since it has transformed my life and I have experienced the benefits in testamonials with thousands of lives.

What have you noticed about Europe vs USA in terms of food on your visit?

I have noticed the food quality is much higher in Europe in comparison to the USA.  Organic foods are also more widely available.  It is a generalisation but in the US, lots of decisions about the manufacturing process of food is about how bad can we make this food, but still make it edible and provide appeal to as many people as possible.

There is also more restraint in terms of portion sizes.  In the US 'super-sizing' is seen as better value.  This just encourages people to eat more.

What do you believe are the most important factors in terms of nutrition's relationship with health?

In simple terms commencing with a gluten-free diet - to lead the way, then a paleo diet to follow.

The future direction of fitness?

Natural movement principles such as MovNat will dominate going forward.

Review: The Paleo Solution (Book)

Review: The Paleo Solution - Robb Wolf

 

This book could be entitled "The Paleo Lifestyle".  Which is how I view my take on Paleo.  It is more than just a diet.  So if you were expecting just another low carb diet/recipe book, this isn't it. If you want a list of rules with rigid guidelines that you can never deviate from, this isn't for you either. 

So where does it fit in and what can you expect? 

Do you have any questions about how a modern framework based on a Paleolithic lifestyle will help you lose weight, slow the ageing process and improve performance? Then this is it. 

If you suffer or are likely to suffer from auto-immune diseases such as Ulcerative Colitis, Crohns, Rheumatoid arthritis, etc - this will provide answers on managing these conditions.

If you're wondering what types of exercises/activities will help you achieve the above goals, and why less is sometimes more, then this will provide answers. 

Concerned about avoiding cancer, diabetes, heart disease and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, etc? This is for you. 

Many of us we need a lifestyle review. Not only in terms of restful sleep and reducing stress levels, but with making the right 'real food' choices and performing activities that are aligned to these goals. Sounds easy, but sometimes we need guidance and the author has lots of experience in this field. Some of us want scientific evidence and there is copious amounts of this in the book. Some of us want to try the Paleo Solution based upon the experience of others and you can find these in the many testimonials available related to Robb's work. 

This book discusses some of the reasoning behind the conflicting advice to be found in the world of nutrition. With some of the author's advice flying in the face of conventional wisdom. Robb Wolf presents this to us with supported pre-historic evidence, his world class expertise with strength & conditioning coaching and the latest studies in scientific research.

I've had the pleasure to spend a day with Robb and to pick his brains.  His book is an excellent additional reference.

A worthy and highly recommended read.
