“So, you’re telling me that on top of no grains, no dairy and no legumes, I’ve also got to omit all the nightshade plants (tomato, white potato, all peppers and eggplant), too?”, a rather upset client with lupus asked me recently. Yes, that’s true. For those who follow Paleo due to an auto immune condition, […]
Read More ›No, I am not about to suggest something along the lines of some of those crazy diets out there that profess that you should ‘not eat carbs after noon…ever’ or ‘only eat fruit on an empty stomach’. I’m referring to paying attention to the glycemic load of a meal. We don’t need to over think […]
Read More ›While the majority of the food we eat should not have a package or wrapper to begin with, there are exceptions. For example, a bottle of extra virgin olive oil or the ‘in a pinch’ can of tuna (which we’d need to rinse to rid it of excessive sodium), both of which have a […]

Yes, there is a brief transitional phase during which our bodies are adapting to the new regime of pure, unadulterated food.

Stop thinking of foods you’d eat in […]
Read More ›Not too difficult a concept to consider, is it? This is precisely why I recommend giving your kitchen a makeover when you’re beginning your foray into the Paleo (or Paleoista!) Lifestyle. Clearing away everything that has any trace of any grains, dairy, legumes or refined sugars in order to make room for loads of fresh, […]
Read More ›Should you have it all? I wouldn’t recommend it. First off, I’m not a fan of the Paleo-With-Dairy take on Paleo, so I’d nix the idea of cheese straight away. Wine and (raw, unsweetened) chocolate, however, I do love on occasion, but it’s just that….only once in a while. Choosing your treat and planning […]
Read More ›Which is better? First of all, I will begin by saying both can have a place in the Paleo Lifestyle. No cream and sugar, of course, but a dark black doppio or a calming green sencha are completely acceptable. Both tea and coffee are good sources of antioxidants and both, of course, are natural […]
Read More ›How important is food on one’s behavior? Only about as significant as the importance of getting a good night’s sleep and drinking enough water. In other words, it’s huge!
