Race time is nearly here! I’m heading out to race one of my favorite courses this coming Saturday, the half-ironman triathlon race I still like to refer to as “Honu”, IM Hawaii 70.3. Fueled by Paleo, I’ll race my heart out once again on the course I’ve grown to love so dearly. Aside from the […]
Read More ›Wow…speechless. Not just about the ingredients of the following three vegan pseudo meats, listed in order below, corresponding with the title, but about the fact that I, too, used to partake of them for a full two years, back in the days when I was a vegan. Even then, I must admit, it seemed odd […]
Read More ›If you’re Paleo, you already know that many of the commercially available oils are not part of our daily diets, such as soybean oil, peanut oil, corn oil and so on. What does that leave us with? Olive oil and coconut oil, for the most part. When cooking a meal that is, for example, tropical […]
Read More ›What to make? If you’re Paleo, it’s hardly going to be Oscar Meyer Hotdogs on buns with baked beans and macaroni salad! The good news is that since many people traditionally center a Memorial Day party around the barbeque, keeping it Paleo is a cinch. With tomorrow being the end of the three day […]
Read More ›A reader recently sent me a link to an interesting article in the Huffington Post which discussed whether eating healthy food truly is more expensive than eating at fast food restaurants. “The government says it all depends on how you measure the price.

Green garlic is just young garlic which is harvested before the cloves have begun to mature. It looks like a scallion and is more likely to be […]
Read More ›A conversation with a new client yesterday prompted the idea for this post. How much is too much running? Racing? Swimming? Cross Fitting? The answer? I don’t know! We have to learn our bodies ourselves and figure out our own ideal frequency for training and racing, just as we do with sorting out which foods […]
Read More ›Lovely! Another article from the governing body of triathlon telling me that I should have a “minimum of three, one-ounce servings of whole grains daily” because “…besides supplying premium muscle fuel, quality carbohydrates are filled with health promoting vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and fiber.” Continuing along we read that “a recent study found that consuming three to […]
Read More ›We know peanuts are not Paleo; they’re a legume, not a nut. We go out of our way to not eat them, and then, they turn up sometimes in the most unlikely places! They’re in salad dressings, ‘energy bars’, commercially prepared trail mixes (another reason not to buy them) and even in pet treats […]
Read More ›Nell, I recently learned that my Paleo diet and athletic lifestyle-induced low blood pressure can actually be problematic; I recently fainted, was rushed to the hospital and the cardiologist who cared for me has told me he wants me on meds to increase my BP.
