    Not sure if this is the right location etc... (if bad, please remove/move)

    Coming off all the low(er) carb threads, higher fat etc... Barry Murray and I have put together a half day seminar on the topic (and some surrounding things, like recovery techniques etc.). It will be 2-5pm, Saturday October 26th in the Radisson Blu in Dublin City Centre.

    Cost is €25 for pre signup (everyone, me included, will learn more than any €25 bike upgrade from it!).

    Ireland could (should) follow Sweden's lead: http://healthimpactnews.com/2013/sweden-becomes-first-western-nation-to-reject-low-fat-diet-dogma-in-favor-of-low-carb-high-fat-nutrition/

    "One probable reason why this study was done in Sweden is that a lot of people were obvious already following such a diet. Currently in Sweden, it is estimated that only 14 percent of the population are obese compared with one-third in the USA."

    Malcolm Kendrick's article is the best (and funniest) I've read on that news: http://drmalcolmkendrick.org/2013/10/20/sweden-gets-is-right/

    Good article, and be sure to read the comments section , even though it's lengthy. Some great fire and spice in there discussing the vested interests in the "health" industry.

    Hope to get to the seminar tomorrow if I can get day release :D

    Great stuff yesterday, I am sure if they had 4 more hours they could keep talking :) I liked the holistic approach of it as well. I hope you do more seminars like that.

    It will be similar material but organised a bit differently - hopefully with more Q&A time. Please let others know (even non-cyclists/endurance folk - I'm giving a similar talk at a tech company in the US this week) - I have seen the positive effect this type of lifestyle is having on 'normal' folk and love hearing about the "why didn't I do this earlier" stories...
