Before my afternoon flight the other day, I had about thirty minutes before I boarded, so I took the opportunity to eat my pre-plane snack of steamed broccoli, lime, olive oil and turkey.

Read More ›I get a lot of inquires about dairy as it relates to the Paleo diet. As there is a growing contingency of sites, blogs and books that do incorporate dairy into their skew on Paleo, it’s easy to see why it would be difficult to decipher whether or not it is, or is not Paleo. […]
