Kamikaze Kitten » Progress when you aren’t looking. I’ve been learning a valuable lesson over the last few months about when progress is ACTUALLY made. I was working out A LOT. 6-7 days a week including on skates training. Week after week at the Dynamic Sports Academy I was getting small improvements in my weight lifting, but not really seeing any in my Vision and Cognitive Tests or my fast footwork. After a few months of this I passed my workout schedule on to the coaches there who suggested I may be doing too much and not allowing my body to make the improvements, and instead was just tiring out my central nervous system.

For more than 25 years, De Vany has been an advocate of what he calls "evolutionary fitness": a regimen of low-carb eating and interval- or cross-training workouts (with periodic fasting) aimed at controlling insulin. But he has also become the grandfather of the growing Paleo movement, a health philosophy built around the belief that modern life — dating from the advent of agriculture 10,000 years ago — is simply alien to our genes.
