A Vegan, a Paleo and an Atkins go into a bar…

Like a bad joke. I ran into a guy complaining that he was on the Atkins diet and couldn’t eat anything here in Europe. Having been both a vegan and now on paleo I always had the same impression too. Which begs the question who exactly is the food for? Now I realize that all food is for the sugar/grain eaters. There is grain (lectin, gluten, glucose, sucrose, corn starch, dextrose, maltodextrin, xanthan gum, etc.) in sandwiches, salad dressings, soup, meat, spices, pasta, desserts. Everything. But I digress…

I’m making the best of the globo gym at the Marriott Vienna. Given this is Schwarzenegger’s homeland, the gym had a lot of free weights including 100lb dumbbells (!) and 150lbs of barbell plates… Also hotel gyms are perfect for a certain special workout, so I turned this into a great Tabata day… Then the family was off to Schoenbrunn Castle for the day…
