There is so much bullshit in nutrition and fitness you can't rely on what you "think" is true. It probably isn't.
The most reliable source in my opinion is Mark Sisson, Marksdailyapple.com

I eat more fat than I have ever before and cholesterol is one point below minimum, and weight is the same as it was in college days now.
No one "owns" Paleo so if they say this fits and this doesn't, or you have to do it a certain way, they are lying. Paleo is a concept, not a plan.
Plus you can just skip a meal or even too at random and not even worry about it.
You folks that think you have to slam something at the gym immediately or buy products are just messing up your metabolism by not giving your body a break from carbs, either directly or from glucogenesis (too much protein). Humans lasted a zillion years hunting and gathering without any of that crap.
And without cancers and heart disease and diabetes....and on, and on, and on. Our modern diets are full of shit. Humans are pretty stupid when compared to evolution, natural selection, and millions of years of it.
There is too much broscience here, but after reading through this TFS seems to have a PhD in broscience. And that is not a shot at paleo, but at the concept of not eating after training, and not needing protein.
The Paleo era humans didnt live long is a fool's argument. Lifespans were shorter back them due to no anitbiotics and shit that chases you down for dinner. Paleo helps you understand how our bodies evolved, so you can make better decisions than people who believe marketing.
Maybe you think you have all that experience and know everything, but if you eat crap, your experience is applicable to people who eat crap, but not Paleo folks.
TFS - I'm not talking about the fat ass that walks 10 minutes on a treadmill and calls it a workout. I'm talking about an athlete training for an event or events that needs to get the most out of each workout. For the latter, it is critical to get the recovery process started as soon as possible after a hard workout. I didn't learn that from a nerd with a blog, it is based on personal experience.
The ones that lived through birth and did avoid those inherent dangers of the times lived long and healthy. There've been tribes who still eat naturally that suffer next to none of our modern ills.
Paleo is a high protein diet. Cool thing is you can eat a ton, never feel stuffed or tired, and not gain weight other than muscle weight.
Pit Row
If you're not getting enough protein through your normal diet then protein shakes make sense, if you are getting a sufficient amount of protein through normal diet it's not necessary.
Your argument that your still alive this morning after not eating protein after 5 treadmill miles doesn't make any sense. Pending on your level of fitness your muscles could not be broken down enough to need to rebuild, whereas someone lifting weights to get stronger/build muscle most likely would.
this muscle milk conversation im talking about pertains to training times.not normal daily food intake.
I highly doubt that you train harder than Moreno. I imagine he stretches, but that's the mentality of the culture and football world. Those trainers claim their 'new' technique prevents injuries, but none can agree on what's good, and they're always changing it.
I used to ride mountain bikes (here in Colorado, on some wicked mountains) 2 times a week, lift 3 times a week (335 bench, 475 squat, and I'm about 185 and 5-10), and was in Tae-Kwon-Do. No, I didn't stretch then, either.
If I was investing my time into MX racing again, I'd sure as hell be eating this way and I wouldn't be fucking around with any of that man-made crap.
I also think there's probably something to the way grains are milled and processed industrially today, but also try to recall that wheat has probably been domesticated as long as any grain and with the longest window of evolutionary adaptation.
Eat good fresh food you prepare from raw yourself as often as you can.
It's been pretty well proven that simple low fat chocolate milk is a pretty optimal restorative within the first 90 minutes after hard exercise for reloading the muscles.

I'm telling you guys, eat like this, and you'll see. It's friggin' wild. You've never, ever felt anything like it.
Yanno what else a stretch does after sleeping (I replied to another in my comment above)? It flushes out bad toxins that build up during sleep. Guess what these processed foods are putting in you? That's right...a bunch of toxins...far more than you'd ever have. So, it makes sense that getting rid of toxins through stretching isn't nearly as necessary when you don't put them in you to begin with.
I'm telling ya'....try it for 3 months. I've never had anyone who earnestly tried this come back and say they'll go back to their old ways of eating and supplements.
Oh....sorry to the guys at Muscle Milk. Here I'm bashing a business that supports our sport. :-( Truly sorry.
go to the produce store and butcher/farm.if you go to the supermarket,avoid the foods in the isles.
