Why Paleo Works

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 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

When people ask me what the key is to the paleo diet, I don’t say, ‘protein’, or ‘no carbs’, or ‘no grains’.  I say, ‘omega 6-omega 3 imbalance’.  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

Are You Really Eating a Balanced Diet?

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
