This, unfortunately, was the title of an article on active.com recently. While some of the facts stated early on in the piece, such as the good old stand-by of “carbohydrates are the preferred energy source in the body” and “athletes training competitively on successive days need to consume a diet of 60 – 70 % […]

But what if you’ve made the transition and need a “boost” to get you from point A to B? Another great inquiry came in the other day that I thought […]
Read More ›Nell, I just read your most recent blog post about the pH in Paleo, and I’m really glad to see this post! I have also been thinking about this lately. I am a big dairy lover, and was concerned with the Paleo diet about giving up my love for milk, cheese, and yogurt. But as […]
Read More ›An interesting article in last week’s AdAge Magazine about regulating sugar brought up some valid points. Have you ever thought about the fact that while we are used to seeing the FDA’s allowances on any given nutrition panel of any processed food product for daily allowances for sodium or fat, there’s none for sugar?

If I wasn’t helping in the kitchen at age four, I was playing in my make-believe kitchen, as kids do, preparing make-believe anything!
