Feeling ‘Snack-y’? Eat Some Veg!

One of the most common issues that clients have when new to eating Paleo is the tendency to eat too much fruit.  To clarify, I just recently did a post on eating fruit, and I am NOT of the school of thought that it is something to be avoided.  Read the post for more, but the bottom […]

The “PaleoBar” Is Not Paleo!

A reader brought this product to my attention recently.  As I've mentioned many a time, on the rare occasion when you DO eat something in a wrapper, you must ALWAYS read the ingredient panel with Eagle Eyes, lest you miss something and consume something not Paleo and potentially quite harmful to your body.

Trending Toward Healthy Eating in the Deep Fried Delta

What a great article in Tuesday's NY TIMES! The Rev. Michale O.

My PALEO Foods on a Big Volume Training Day

I do get quite a bit of questions about exactly what I eat on those days when I'm training long.  A 5k swim, followed by a 5:00 ride and a 1:00 brick are not exactly workouts you'd want to go into empty! While I've written posts including sample days of what I eat on days […]

Paleo Sprouts with Turkey, Shallots & Olive Oil

Based on a menu offering from a restaurant I visited recently that was NOT paleo, this version that I made up IS! While it looked great on the menu, after a little inquiry to the server, I learned that the Roasted Sprouts dish was prepared with butter, soy sauce and even a little bit of […]

Scallopini, Paleo Style

This recipe is a perfect one to illustrate the idea that you do NOT need to thicken sauces, a topic which I'm frequently asked about. The traditional recipe for chicken or veal (or any) scallopini would call for butter as well as flour to thicken the sauce.  Aside from that, most ingredients are in keeping […]
