There seems to be a lot of confusion about if and when eating fruit is Paleo. Some eat WAY too much, and others eat none! Others still, not only don't eat enough fruit, but they also don't eat nearly enough veg. The latter case, incidentally, tends to warrant the complaint of "my digestion is […]
Read More ›And I mean ACCIDENTALLY! As in, you're dining at a friend's home and she tried to make a Paleo meal and didn't realize that corn starch was not, and you ate some, clandestinely hidden in the sauce… NOT- you 'accidentally' ate a brownie piled high with hot fugde and whipped cream!

Yes, they're better than peanuts (remember, peanuts are NOT nuts- they're legumes so NOT Paleo), and almond butter is a better option than peanut butter BUT that doesn't mean one should eat them ad nauseum. Why? Because they are actually quite high in inflammatory Omega 6 fatty acids […]
