Nell, Please don’t tell me my only option at the holiday party this year, since I’m now Paleo, is water. One of the things I’ve been trying to get across to my colleagues is how this way of eating/living is not restrictive, but if they see me sipping water, I’ll never hear the end of […]
Read More ›Yes, I wrote ‘break up’. And this doesn’t pertain to an only intimate relationship necessarily, and it certainly doesn’t pertain only to the holidays. I’ve worked with several clients who’ve found that their friends or families just don’t buy it. Whether they think Paleo is some odd, fad diet, and they’re genuinely concerned that […]
Read More ›A new client asked if Ensure would be a good option for a quick meal on-the-go. Ensure is a product marketed as, per their website, having “more protein than an egg, 21 essential vitamins and minerals, and 180 calories, Ensure Clear is the fat free, refreshingly clear choice to help fill your nutritional gaps.

Many times when I go to holiday parties, they may have one or two paleo-friendly options for a while, but they often disappear or get taken away in favor of sugar-laden, yet somehow still very tempting desserts. What are some good ways to handle these parties? I […]
Read More ›Thank you, readers, for sending in your holiday eating-related questions. So far I’ve received many great inquiries about how to handle a variety of tricky situations, and the fact that some of them are nearly identical to one another illustrates what I’ve written about before- that many of the questions you as readers have are […]

Read More ›I’ve written a lot about how I fuel for the long haul; ironman training and racing, as well marathoning and ultra running. But what about if you don’t consider yourself an athlete?
