Make No Beans About It..Legumes Aren’t Paleo!

I’d have to say that beans not being part of True Paleo living is one thing most of my clients have the most difficulty understanding. Many people are at least aware that there is controversy over whether or not dairy is good for us, and the same goes for gluten and processed grains.  Whether or […]

Lose Belly Fat, Stop Aging and Reverse Type II Diabetes

Any or all of the above phrases are used all too often as tag lines for pills, powders, potions, ‘super foods’ and entire eating plans.
