THE level of commitment and sacrifice it takes to be a professional footballer is something the majority of fans are well aware of, but Swindon Town defender Darren Ward takes dedication to a whole new level as he strives to extend his already impressive career. http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/news/headlines/10090602.Ward_committed_to_his__Stone_Age__lifestyle/?ref=rss Title: Re: Adver News: Ward committed to his "Stone Age" lifestyle Post by: wiggy on Thursday, December 6, 2012, 08:49:12 So he eats yams and sweet potatoes.

I thought yams and sweet potatoes were the same thing.

I learnt something new today: Quote from: Wikipedia Although the soft, orange sweet potato is often mislabeled a "yam" in parts of North America, the sweet potato is botanically very distinct from a genuine yam Title: Re: Adver News: Ward committed to his "Stone Age" lifestyle Post by: fatbasher on Thursday, December 6, 2012, 21:21:36 When I read this article I had visions of him clubbing centre forwards over the head in the style of these gents: [url width=230 height=272]http://www.ancientcraft.co.uk/fun/BoulderMobileAni.gif[/url] Rock and Gravel in the Boulder Mobile from the Whacky Races.

Title: Re: Adver News: Ward committed to his "Stone Age" lifestyle Post by: welshred on Monday, January 14, 2013, 15:02:49 Gonna be on TalkSport at some point in the next hour talking about his "Stone Age" lifestyle.
Title: Re: Adver News: Ward committed to his "Stone Age" lifestyle Post by: china red on Monday, January 14, 2013, 15:42:23 I did one of these diets before, lost loads of weight, not eating carbs was horrible, you end up smelling bad and the cramps you get during the first couple of months were awful. Also found out I was allergic to Spirulina as it was one of the supplements i was taking at the time.
Title: Re: Adver News: Ward committed to his "Stone Age" lifestyle Post by: mystical_goat on Monday, January 14, 2013, 16:20:31 If you were experiencing pain then I think you must have been going quite wrong somewhere. Or perhaps you were eating loads of processed shit before and the new, more raw, natural, diet was a shock to your system. The Paleo thing is all about going back to what humans are naturally evolved and supposed to eat, getting away from anything we struggle to deal with scientifically, so it shouldn't hurt you at all.
I've got the book, the Paleo Solution by Robb Wolf, and read some last night actually. I'm not fat at all, just interested in how I can improve the quality of what I eat. Also met an ex-banker whilst travelling who was 35 but looked 25 at the most, and was absolutely stacked - he was on the Paleo diet too, when at home. I think the adver is a bit wrong in their article though, they say "With treats like ‘poisonous’ chocolate at an absolute minimum and alcohol a no-go". The bit I read last night had a line about how it is fine to go to the supermarket and pick up some 75% cocoa chocolate and a bottle of red wine. Cider is fine too, as it's from apples. Beer is from grain, so that's a no-no.

Considering it myself, but think I might be a lost cause!

Title: Re: Adver News: Ward committed to his "Stone Age" lifestyle Post by: Reg Smeeton on Monday, January 14, 2013, 18:02:43 Anyone know the average life expectancy for stone age man, compared to today? Kind of depends what you mean by stone age....there's such a time span between the palaeolthic and the neolithic, and a serious disparity in how living was achieved. Thomas Hobbes, who is up there in anyone's list of top 10 Wiltshiremen....reckoned that without society, life was, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short.

Although the fish & rice cakes diet does seem tricky to follow:

I've seriously cut down on the amount of processed food I eat. It's definitely helped to shift the fat it's also completely changed my well being, I do feel much better without all of the processed crap.

But yeah, CR is doing it wrong because you read it in a book by a bullshit doctor eh?

But yeah, CR is doing it wrong because you read it in a book by a bullshit doctor eh? No, I thought he may have been doing something wrong because I experience no pain. The other guy I know who sticks to the philosophy 100% and has done it for 6 months hasn't had any either. Since he was talking about supplements, like spirulina, it may have been a different diet because Paleo doesn't mention supplements from what I have read. Besides, what's this about a "bullshit doctor?" The guy who wrote the book on paleo is an ex-biochemist.

He's taken an old idea, championed it and made a shit load of money from it. Bullshit doctor.

Title: Re: Adver News: Ward committed to his "Stone Age" lifestyle Post by: Simon Pieman on Wednesday, January 16, 2013, 22:44:41 I get very irked when people on fad diets jump on an opposing view so I do the same back.
The ideal diet consists of fish, chips and a tin of pop.

You should go and find someone on a fad diet jumping on an opposing view then. Title: Re: Adver News: Ward committed to his "Stone Age" lifestyle Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, February 14, 2013, 09:50:27 Darren Ward was on BBC Wiltshire this morning about this, as was the principal dietitian from St George's hospital in London. Dietitian says it is a rubbish diet and was concerned about Ward's diet.
