Day 5 paleo challenge or gluten free challenge?

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/04/mark-sisson-gluten-free-diet_n_1937059.html

Just finished watching this short video where Mark Sisson is promoting a caveman or gluten-free lifestyle.  He does not use the words "paleo" or "primal" at all.  I am wondering if he does this to eliminate the "paleo = lots of meat" summary judgement many people give this lifestyle.   If you are gluten free, you are paleo and vice-versa. 

Prepping some apples and bananas for the dryer.  I pre-treat with lemon juice to keep them from turning brown.
2 eggs, 3 sausage links, 1 whole red pepper, 2 carrots, 1/4 onion, tapatia sauce.
Big Salad!  Baby spinach, tomatoes, carrots, onions, chicken breast.
I need to buy more paleo friendly snacks!  Finished off these raw almonds, roasted/salted sunflower seeds, dried turkish apricots and the last of the Nicks Grass-Fed Beef sticks!  Even though these sticks were on the expensive side they are tasty and a great way to get a quick 10 grams of complete protein.

Sticking with my workout/rehab routine for the upper back.  On this 5th day I hiked the ridge carrying 4 lbs of water (2 bottles of water bagged in each hand).  I also did 2 rounds of therapeutic exercises - 15 second overhead and front lateral holds and 7-rep sets of the same exercises but dynamically.  Pain in the upper back is still sharp but improved about 50% since I fucked it up last friday.  I do not think I will be brining bootcamp back until the week starting October 14th.
