Mark Sisson – The Primal BluePrint
Mark Sisson, Author of The Primal BluePrint
For a while now I’ve wanted to blog about some of my favorite Paleo Nutrition reads but simply have had little time to sit in front of my computer. When I find something worthy of sharing, I know it’s gonna take several hours of research and writing to do it justice. Mark Sisson’s body of work is a perfect example of this. His book, The Primal Blueprint, is one I often recommend to folks when they are interested in understanding Paleo Nutrition. He’s in great shape, and is just as informative as he is funny.
He also has a fantastic blog, Mark’s Daily Apple which is full of helpful resources for understanding the science behind the diet. One of the big questions I get often is “What do I eat for breakfast?”.To illustrate how helpful Mark’s daily blog can be, Mark took the time to answer this question in depth on his website (and in his book):

For the visual learners – “Contest Results: Primal Breakfast Pics”
Fortunately Robb Wolf has saved me some time at my computer by recently blogging on Mark Sisson’s book, The Primal Blue Print. You can read his blog post here:
Book Review: The Primal BluePrint
Intrigued? If so, check out Mark’s “About” page which completely summarizes the content on his website. There’s some good stuff here – all well-organized and easy to find!

I would also add from personal experience a recommendation to purchase Mark’s cookbook, The Primal BluePrint Cookbook. Have yet to receive a complaint from my teens when I use recipes from his cookbook.

Cheryl, I hope this message finds you well. I think we all at one point had an aha moment about why we do the things we love to do. When I first came upon CrossFit I knew that my world would be turned upside down. I’ve learned so much and am so grateful for the people like you that make my fitness journey such an exciting one. I honestly do what I do and strive to become better at what I do because of genuine people like yourself. Take pride and be passionate about what you do and how you do it. Get comfortable with uncomfortable is a theme we’ve chosen here at OPT, because we believe that getting into this uncomfortable zone unfolds many life lessons. Here’s hoping you teach others about this, make it happen, all the best.
It says here that Cheryl has a new blog. I say, it's about damn time. Cheryl has been accumulating knowledge and experience about the serious side of exercise for a while now, and I can't think of a better ambassador for barbell training to women who typically refuse to consider its benefits. One look at Cheryl dispells any apprehensions they may have regarding the aesthetic effects, and she is quite capable of explaining the health and fitness advantages to this group of folks in desparate need of a better way to approach their exercise prescription.
I met Cheryl at a level 1 CrossFit cert I was coaching several years ago. Then I saw her at another Level 1. Then a CrossFit Nutrition cert...on the other side of the country! Then another! Cheryl has a a seemingly insatiable desire to learn. This curiosity, as powerful as it is takes a back seat to perhaps one thing however and that is Cheryl's desire and capacity to HELP. I think one of the most profound things any of us can do is leave a legacy of helping. I was very excited to hear about her forthcoming blog and will be reading it every day.

One thing to take into consideration is the fact the Mark Sisson advocates a Primal diet and not quite a Paleo Diet. In the Primal diet you can use dairy if you tolerate it but dairy is not allowed in the Paleo diet. That said the Primal diet is easier to follow for most people.
