Hi Nell,I subscribe to your blog's feed so that I can read every post just as soon as you publish it. What I like most about your blog is your purist approach to Paleo. I'm extremely sensitive to gluten, dairy and sugar so, like you, I have to maintain a 100% commitment level; otherwise, I quickly pay for my […]

No. Well… let me rephrase.  In one particular situation, I'd class them as a 'Plan B' food… FOR ENDURANCE ATHLETES: You're away from home and are unable to find sweet potato or yam and you have a big training day or race ahead of you. Keep in mind that the Saponin content on the skins is […]

Sweet Potato Fries… they're Paleo, aren't they?  No, not necessarily. A local salad place I go to quite a bit offers them atop a few otherwise Paleo salads, but they're something to look out for, as they're actually dredged in good old white flour.  Aside from that, eating anything deep fried is not a healthy […]

Just having a quick flip through the latest issue of Triathlete Magazine and came across an article in which one PRO triathlete fields questions that she states are commonly asked by 'non–triathletes'. There were some not-so-surprising questions that I, too have been asked, such as 'do you get a break between the three sports' and […]

WHY would you want to put ANYTHING in your body that has been sitting on a shelf?  Consider this- would […]

Just the other day, a reader asked if I'd do a post about skin care.  At first, I wondered whether that would be going too far out of the realm of Paleo, but then it dawned on me… It's SO related…why?  Because when one follows the Paleo diet properly, their skin radiates!  Not exaggerating,  Why […]

How silly that this has only just occurred to me…why not post not only the type of food I am able to eat while dining out, which is totally Paleo, but also the place! Sometimes the most obvious things are the most easily missed, I suppose! Here's a pic of a delish lunch I had […]

2:51 for Chris and 3:07 for me- not a PR Day but SO MUCH FUN!  The NYC Marathon has GOT to be one of the most energizing races to do… a must-do for all you marathon runners out there! : )

In my athlete bag for the NY Marathon, I thought I'd finally found some Paleo options, but alas, I was mistaken. What I mistook for a bag of walnuts and a bag of almonds, turned out to be a bag of Emerald Brand Breakfast on the Go and Cocoa Roast Almonds which was most unfortunate because […]
