That’s what I recently did, and there are already over 40 people who have joined and we’ve got our first Paleo […]

Avocado vs Almonds- Which is the Better Choice?

Avocado, by a long shot. While almonds are often the first go-to as a replacement for peanuts when one begins following the Paleo diet, often they end up getting eaten far too much. All nuts are inflammatory, with high levels of Omega 6s and low levels of healthy Omega 3s, which is why they’re meant […]

Ah!  I knew that would get your attention! Now that I’ve got it, I can let you know I’m referring to the type you eat and how to prepare them for cooking. Unlike leafy greens which can be rinsed then spun dry or hearty crucifers like broccoli or cauliflower which won’t be harmed if they […]

Bacon for Dessert?

I just read about a shop in NYC completely devoted to bacon.   Cool concept, isn’t it?  But is it Paleo? Yes, that’s a picture of a bacon and chocolate concoction and yes bacon can certainly be a part of Paleo, but in moderation. The title of this post says it all. Hopefully, most people […]

Sanitas Per Escam…Via Paleo?

That was a Latin phrase I’d not heard of prior to yesterday.  What does it mean, you might wonder? Simply, Heath Through Food.

Can’t Sit Still?

That would be me. I often liken myself to a toddler in a sense; when I’m on a plane, I simply have to sit in the aisle seat as I’m up at least one or two times each hour for no other reason than I absolutely hate to sit.  (Yes, I’m that person.  And have […]

So yesterday, when I received an alert to read a piece in the Tampa Bay Times about Paleo ‘gaining […]

Selling Soda

Mark Bittman raised some great points in his piece in the Times yesterday, in which he discussed celebrities lending their likenesses to soft drink companies to endorse their products. Money talks, of course, but at whose expense? If you’re already a multi-millionaire and you claim to be interested in supporting the First Lady’s “Let’s Move” […]

A Gym for Those Who Don’t Like Gyms

Something caught my eye the other day.  It was an ad for a gym which read that “members wouldn’t experience ‘gymtimidation’ from muscle bound brutes”. This piqued my interest; after having been a private fitness trainer for nearly eighteen years, I think I may have heard every excuse in the book for why one wouldn’t […]
