Paleo Plan often gets requests from different companies in the Paleosphere (or not) to do promos on our site because our audience is, well, rather large. Some of these products - like coconut oil, pastured meats, coconut ice cream, fermented veggies, and awesome fat from FatWorks - are things we really love and think you will, too. So we do blog posts about them, shout outs on Twitter and Facebook, and let people know about them in our newsletters. We … Continue reading →

I recently decided I don't like to eat meat that much because the taste of it grosses me out. So I started eating tuna because it's much more palatable to me. Then my husband decided he doesn't want to deal with a senile wife 30 years from now - brought on by mercury poisoning - and he 86-ed the tuna. A few of my friends swear by sardines, so I decided I'd give them a try. Turns out they're AMAZING! … Continue reading →
It’s about time someone talked about this. Our medical doctors (at least most of them) certainly won’t. All they ever do is throw pills at it -- pills that make the pharma companies a ton of money but never truly solve the real problem. I mean, I can’t be the only one frustrated with our take-this-pill-and-come-back-when- you-have-side-effects medical model. These days, more and more people are actively seeking natural solutions for digestive problems, foggy brain, insomnia, depression, and weight gain … Continue reading →

This post was kindly guest-written by Camille Macres, a Paleo chef of the website www.reciperx.com and the podcast Food, Love, & Transformation. She's also trying to fund a new Paleo cookbook called Paleogasm with a kickstarter. Without further ado, let's let the fun begin :) I have a little secret for you: I’ve been a chef nearly a decade and I still avoid chopping stuff as much as possible. I’m fast, and it can still take way too long. Because I’m hungry … Continue reading →
This is Part 5 in a series on squatting by our very own Max Shippee. If you want to review, you can see the other parts here...Squatting Part 1: Feet, Squatting Part 2: Knees, Squatting Part 3: Hips, Squatting Part 4: Shoulders and Back. "I keep trying, but I can't get down that low!" "So much for your dance moves, huh?" "Seriously!" "Do you have a door at home?" "Yeah." "Then we're gonna help you get low!" ;) Some of … Continue reading →
A common theme among my clients is finding their motivation. What motivates them to make such big changes in their diet and lifestyle? When we figure it out, it's from this place of clarity that they can then make choices with integrity every day. What are your goals today, this week, and for the next year that keep you out of the bread basket? It's different for every person. Today one client said, "I just want to get back to … Continue reading →
Just received this AMAZING success story from a Paleo Plan user. What a fantastic way to end my week! Hey Neely, Jason & Gang, I got turned onto Paleo about a 13-14 months ago by a friend on Facebook, and then found your site, and then bought your book. Took a challenge, felt great/lost weight and then I never looked back! And this is what it has done for me in that time (247 pounds & 50% BF @ start … Continue reading →
What do YOU use virgin coconut oil for? Our previously disdained saturated fat-filled coconut oil is now pretty much accepted by even the most skeptical as a healthy oil. I've written here about why coconut is actually very beneficial for you to eat. But it's not just good for cooking. The Many Uses of Coconut Oil You can put it on your skin, your hair, your nails, eczema, psoriasis, you name it. It can be used as a massage oil, … Continue reading →
Fitness guy, Max Shippee, getting more into the squat. Enjoy! "I feel like I'm hunched over all the time." "Do you commute?" "Yes." "Do you work at a computer?" "Yes." "Do you have a 'smartphone'?" "Yes." "Then you probably ARE hunched over all the time." Good posture means good health. Having good posture helps you exude confidence, poise, and even sexiness. We often get so bogged down with life, that we forget this spine of ours can really help us … Continue reading →
Here comes the coffee nazi again! More and more it seems my job is to crush people's dreams and take away all of their favorite addictions (grains, cheese, coffee...). I know, even if you won't admit it to yourself, that coffee MAY be affecting your life. Like in a negative way - not the happy, helps-me-live-my-life, buzzy way you experience it. I've written about it before here. Most people have accepted that gluten sensitivity is a real thing, unlike this … Continue reading →
Lately I've been fantasizing about living in the middle of nowhere in a small home off the grid. Here are some of my housing picks so far... I'm actually serious about doing this some day, and all of these options are viable in my mind. I don't need much: just a kitchen, a bed, and the internet and I'm good. Oh, and some rocks to climb on would be nice. And yes, the treehouse has internet! But … Continue reading →
The last 6 weeks of my life looked something like this: Wake up and immediately begin working from bed on my phone. Shower? What's that? Eat breakfast (that my husband graciously cooked for me) in front of my computer. Sit on my couch next to my dog with my laptop for the next 10-14 hours. Occasionally go to the bathroom. Eat the quickest Paleo meals I could possibly create throughout the day (mostly leftovers from my husband's well-planned meals for … Continue reading →
"It's time for some butt-rubbing!" "Butt rubbing? Um..." "Relax, it's not ME rubbing your butt." "Oh...I was gonna say..." "I know, I know...I haven't even bought you dinner yet." "Haha! Yeah, and -" "Less talking, more squatting." Now that you've got your weight in the right part of your foot, and your knees are tracking correctly, let's talk bout the biggest mover in your body. The hips. A lot of fitness magazines and the like would have us think that … Continue reading →

This post may be relevant to you whether you eat Paleo or not. It doesn't matter if you're eating grains, sugar, dairy, and legumes or a Paleo diet, you may be suffering from the hungries all day. Here's what you can do to fix it. 1. Eat more breakfast. If you're eating 2 eggs and 1 piece of bacon for breakfast and then wondering why you're so blasted hungry 1 hour later, it's because you're not eating enough food. The … Continue reading →
Last Wednesday evening I arrived in Austin, Texas to attend the PaleoFX Conference. I went to hear all the latest thought trends in the Paleo/Primal worlds, to see old friends, and to make new connections. The event did not disappoint, but I was only able to stay for about 36 hours. Unfortunately, on Friday morning I woke up in a boatload of pain from a neck flare-up and I had to fly home early. I don't know if any of … Continue reading →
This one has been on my mind for quite some time; people ask me about it a lot. So I'm going to tell you my opinion on the matter, but then ultimately I think you should go over to these two posts (below) at marksdailyapple.com to read more on the topic. I don't think I need to say again what Mark Sisson already said really well in 2010 (and he even used the Lord of the Rings to explain it). … Continue reading →
