Snacks After Practice

Yesterday I hit the local track for a speed set in the late morning.  I knew there would be kids playing pee wee football in the middle, but I wasn’t sure of the timing of when they’d be playing, taking a break or finishing up. Apparently, I got there just as they were wrapping up, […]

Superbowl Sunday: Can You Keep Paleo?

The big game is almost here and I can’t wait!  OK, I’m telling a lie.  I admit it; when it comes to one of the most popular sports in the country, I’m clueless. Despite two college ex-boyfriends who were very into football, being an alum of USC and having read Football for Dummies, the cold, […]

Often, when new to Paleo, people might turn their nose up at the idea of no traditional dressings for salads.   Ranch, Bleu Cheese, Creamy Italian and Russian are far from Paleo with ingredients including cream, cheese, soybean or peanut oil and along with a very high sodium and/or sugar content.

Move to Free Your Body

We’ve all been there.  Running along and then… a twinge in the calf or a tweak in the hamstring stops us dead in our tracks. Time to call it quits…or is it? Not necessarily. Sometimes it might be a mild reminder that we’re not running in balance, that our gait is not symmetrical or that […]

Unfortunately, they’re the anomaly and more […]

Paleo Parents, Paleo Kids

“Paleo is OK for me as an adult, but I’m not sure that I’m comfortable restricting what my kids eat. If they don’t eat all the children specific foods on the market, won’t they potentially be eating a diet  lacking in many of the vital nutrition they need to grow properly?” This question which was […]

Foods, Beverage Companies and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics

You’ll never guess.  AND (the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, formerly known as the ADA or American Dietetic Association) has financial backing from the companies shown in the image above. That’s right!  The very organization that we rely on for administering nutrition and health advice is endorsed by the likes of General Mills, Kellogg’s, the […]

The Debut of the Paleo in LA Meet Up

We had our first meeting last night at ART LA in Bergamot Station. Although the undesirable weather caused a decrease in the number of attendees we had, it was, in my opinion, a success. In fact, the small number made it more conducive to get to know one another a little better and make a […]
