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. 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!

While I’m the first to admit I’ve made statements in the past along the lines of Paleo being a balanced diet of ‘things growing on […]
Read More ›Every once in a while, I’ll receive an inquiry from a mom to be, or a newly pregnant reader, asking if it’s safe or healthy to stay Paleo while pregnant and then while breastfeeding. Absolutely! Did you know that the ‘caveman’ diet has been suggested to many women over the years by lactation consultants as […]
Read More ›Up next in my little ‘Paleo Mistakes’ Series is another very commonly made error by those new to Paleo: inclusion of Paleo Sweets and Treats. I cannot tell you the number of times clients have shared their latest version of a ‘Paleo Pancake’ or “Paleo Banana Bread’ that they’ve created. Yes, they use only Paleo […]
Read More ›I thought it would be a good series of posts to write about- a collection of the most common errors I see clients making when they’re new to Paleo. Here’s the first one: Most people eat far too little veggies. One piece of kale, pictured above, does not a portion make! We’re consumed with thinking […]
Read More ›Here I am at the same race in 2010, just slightly emotional after learning I’d won the women’s amateur race! It’s been such a long time in the making and it’s always a true honor to have a chance to race here. Today, you can follow me live! The half ironman distance in the […]
