When people hear “paleo”, most immediately think, “that’s the diet where you eat lots of meat, right”? And I can understand why that’s the perception, because most people only want to know what you get to eat. My answer is inevitably: fish, lean meats, leafy greens, and root vegetables. Some people follow up with, “what … Continue reading
Your Diet is no Laughing Matter…Take it Seriously, Please
Yes, you can eat whatever you want and chances are, you’re waking up the next day to live another. That’s why people rarely take their daily eating habits seriously. We are bombarded with advertisements for junk food and drink that are killing us slowly. We watch “food porn”, tv shows that encourage unhealthy eating. We … Continue reading
Your Diet in Times of Adversity
I’ve been missing. I’ve been away. I’ve been dealing with adversity. That’s why I have not written in some time. I am grateful that I had been paleo-healthy for the 4 years before this past year, because last year was a doozy. Had I not been so disciplined, had I not been so well established in my … Continue reading

For some, that’s a hard to understand without explanation, so that’s what I’m going to provide here. After all, research, information, facts, studies, it all helps understand … Continue reading
Make it Obvious
Wanting to eat healthy foods is a start. Eating healthy foods can be a challenge. Everyone knows that fish is an obvious choice when it comes to healthy protein, yet when asked, most people cannot list the last five times they had fish. Eat more fish! I aim for ten servings a week, in meals … Continue reading

Growing up on the East Coast, it meant all kinds of great foods were on their way. Fall harvest fruits and vegetables are delicious and some of the best flavors to … Continue reading
Back to School Paleo
Over two years ago, I wrote a blog post about one of my childhood favorites, the peanut butter and jelly sandwich. (A Childhood Favorite) I found Uncrustables on the snack table at a movie set and people were laughing about how decadent they were and I couldn’t believe they actually existed, let alone the fact … Continue reading
Are You Really Eating a Balanced Diet?
What I was taught was a balanced diet in high school health class is nowhere close to what I eat today. By definition, a balanced diet means providing yourself with all the nutrition you need through your daily intake of food. The problem is, the only thing we have to guide ourselves to that goal … Continue reading

Today is a great day to celebrate. Of course you know it’s a day of celebration commemorating the Mexican Army’s defeat of the French in 1862, right? It’s a another excuse to go out! More than likely, you’ll end up having margaritas and Mexican food, which is actually the worse possible food you can eat. … Continue reading
