Crossfit

Crossfit is primarily a place for cross fit, which apparently is when you do different exercises.

https://www.crossfit.com/

However, they have a ton of articles that are current and written by the likes of Gary Taubes, Malcolm Kendrick, Prof. Timothy Noakes, etc.

These are a selection of recent articles:

I mean, wow. What a selection of topics. And I can’t even find one I just read from Malcolm Kendrick.

Thanks for posting those links. I’m going to enjoy looking more closely, but have already read through some of the information.

I used to know people who were very into CrossFit some 4 or 5 years ago, but then I moved and am no longer in contact with them. They were, however, not low carb, if I remember correctly, but more of the Paleo mindset. I guess that’s somewhat close to low carb, but not really Keto.

My limited understanding is that Cross Fit is tough. I can’t do many/all of what they recommend (too many chronic injuries).

But from a scientific perspective of diet (particularly low carb/keto), the website is really amazing. So, I ignore all the cross fit stuff and just read the articles related to diet.

And what I posted above was just a sampling at the “top”. There are many more articles.

They also have recipes, but I have not looked at those.

Another case in point:

An article about how Big Sugar influenced everything, including the Dietary Guidelines, so that sugar was not considered to be bad or cause disease.

Well worth the read. Thank You for the link.
