Really? Lovely article in one of my running magazines last month, indeed, which discussed: Why things like candy corn are fine to eat before a run (because, and I quote, “Candy, which is mostly sugar, supplies easily digested carbs which is your muscles’ preferred fuel”, although it might behoove you to eat a meal with […]
Read More ›We’ve cut out soy and all its derivatives, including soy sauce, so when a reader recently sent me an email asking for something to use in its proxy when preparing an Asian soup dish, he wondered if fish sauce might be a good option. Yes, there are soy free variations of fish sauce, but they […]
Read More ›What have you chosen? About a month ago, I asked you to write in if you used to be Paleo but opted to not continue to follow the diet. I’m always interested to learn why people choose to either forgo it completely or perhaps modify with some not so Paleo foods into something they […]
Read More ›Yes, it’s possible. It doesn’t have to be the sugar festival that Halloween often turns into, for those of you with little ones. Straight from the horses’ mouths (my clients who are moms), since the Easter holiday is typically one spent with family, as compared to Halloween, a far more social event, you can oversee […]

They are getting up there in years, though, as much as I hate to admit it. They’re both […]

She explained that she follows a vegetarian diet and wondered whether she should ‘supplement with protein’. Supplement?

Read More ›Hey, Nell, I noticed that a lot of your recipes you use coconut oil, where olive oil would seem just as appropriate. I was just wondering if coconut was in some way better that EVOO? I know it has less omega 6, but really I think some omega 6 is fine, so long as you’re […]
Read More ›There are reasons to get healthy everywhere we look; and sometimes these very reasons are sitting with us at the dinner table, watching television with us on a Monday evening or tugging at our hands to go outside and play.
