Mark Sisson – Primal Diet Tips, The Importance of Cultivating More Play In Our Lives, The Benefits of Intermittent Fasting, Building Muscle & More!

I find it to be so much fun speaking to the very people who were my teachers along the way when I was getting going in the health field. Mark Sisson's work at Mark's Daily Apple was a place where I learned the foundation of the primal (or paleo) diet. Each morning would eagerly await his newest blog post (he writes every single morning and still does!) so that I could devour it up. For those that don't know Mark Sisson is the author of such books as... The Primal Blueprint 21-Day Total Body Transformation The Primal Blueprint The Primal Connection: Follow Your Genetic Blueprint to Health and Happiness Having been a fan of Mark's work for many years, we had a great time speaking with him in person. Do you follow any kind of paleo or primal diet? I was 100% raw vegan for about 7 years and then finally started adding some animal products into my life. Here are the main animal products I consume on a regular basis... * Ghee * Butter (grass fed and raw) * I used to drink raw milk but no longer * Deer Antler Extract * Colostrum * Whey protein powder * Honey * Fish * Chicken * Beef In this show Mark Sisson talks with Kate and I about the benefits of intermittent fasting as well as what he has for breakfast on many days. I think you'll be pretty shocked at what he consumes for breakfast. We also talked about the health benefits of doing just the right amount of cardiovascular exercise and specific weight lifting strategies for building muscle for us "hardgainers". I believe the term he used for us was ectomorphs. Whenever I don't want to go to the gym and lift weights I'm reminded of this quote...
