Paleo For Endurance Athletes- It’s A GO!!

Hi Nell, I am a fan of your blog and find all of your posts very informative and helpful.  Interestingly, I came across an interesting article about the Paleo Diet in the recent edition of Inside Triathlon (Nov/Dec. 2010) entitled "Incinerate Body Fat" by Torbjorn Sindballe, a professional triathlete but now retired from the sport.

On The Same Subject… That’s NOT Food Either!

I'm on an email list of one or two of the 'deal of the day' sort of web based companies… and when this one came through from a nearby restaurant (highlighted in RED to illustrated the NOT food portions!):   "… offers a smorgasbord of fully prepared meal options and market items, such as wine […]

Is THAT Supposed To Be Food?

At a recent concert, I just couldn't help it.  I just HAD to sneakily take a snap at the plastic tray of (pseudo) food that the woman sitting next to me was eating: And this was at well known, new and quite popular venue, no less; not a hole in the wall, run down theatre […]
