If your dad is someone who’s hard to shop for and you’re trying to decide on something special to show how much he means to you, why not treat him to a day of Paleo? Here’s the nice (albeit a little sneaky) thing; you don’t actually need to tell him that he’s going Paleo for […]
Read More ›After yesterday’s post about no nightshades for those who follow the Auto Immune version of Paleo, I received a few inquiries asking why I’d also mentioned no nuts as part of that variation. To clarify, the statement I made needs to be amended. I failed to add that the recommendation is to cut out […]
Read More ›“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 ›Paleo breakfast ideas are, by far, the most difficult for those new to Paleo to get their head around. No grains and no dairy automatically eliminates a large percentage of what many of us may formerly have considered good breakfast options. What ‘breakfast foods’ are left? Plenty! 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.
