I often chose blog topics based on questions, comments and suggestions I get from readers and clients.  Just the other day, I received one such  blog topic request, asking for some “good” Paleo guidance and advice about the basic challenges all those who are new to Paleo have. What a timely request, at the start […]

Eat More Kale!

Kale has to be one of the most commonly consumed veggies in my household.  I tend to eat it every single day; raw, thrown into my smoothie in the morning, lightly steamed and topped with some wild salmon or perhaps sauteed and served with a rare grass fed steak.  Kale scores 1,000 points on the […]

Partly Paleo?

Is following a partly Paleo diet the way to go?  Are weekend ‘cheat’ meals acceptable?  Can being 85% Paleo work? I really don’t recommend it.   I understand the value of the concept, though.  If you’re brand new to Paleo and the idea of never having pizza or a baguette or ice cream again, ever, is […]

New Year’s Eve is already upon us; can you believe it? What will 2012 hold for you? I wrote the other day about choosing to begin the Paleo diet at a time when you personally are most likely to be successful at it, rather than making the assumption that just because it’s January 1st, it’s […]

Do I Need Vitamins and When Should I Take Them?

Hello, Nell,I take vitamins but don’t always  follow the directions, such as “take two pills, three times a day”.   I tend to just take all my vitamins at night. Vitamins and supplements cost a lot and I just want to get all the bang for the buck I can, not to mention the benefit I […]

Doctors Endorse a Weight-Loss Program, But It’s All Wrong

I’m angry.  It’s not often that I feel perturbed after reading something, but an article in yesterday’s New  York Times did the trick. In the business section, aptly positioned, was a piece about how Medicare is set to begin reimbursing doctors for obesity treatment in the new year.  A quote in the third paragraph cuts […]
