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

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
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
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

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
Is this you? Low-Carb Endurance Exerciser "I run or do CrossFit 5 days a week. I'm on a Paleo diet - no grains, no high glycemic fruits, no starchy veggies because that's what I heard I should be doing. But I have these intense cravings for sugar and I end up bingeing on cookies because I just can't control myself. What am I doing wrong?? Maybe I just need more self control..." Or this... Low-Carb Moderate Excerciser "I lift 2-3 times a … Continue reading

This post was written by the wonderfully sleep deprived father of 3... Max Shippee (It's 10:43 pm: why are you still awake?!!!) "I think my squat is pretty good!" "Really? What are your knees doing?" "What do you mean?" "They're all over the place. Doesn't that hurt?" "I just thought I had bad knees." Hello, knees! Building on last week's "Weight in the Heel" post, we're gonna move upstream from the foot, where your weight should be in your heels. … Continue reading
Yet another person has written a poorly researched article against Paleo. Kimberly Snyder's article is entitled "The Ugly Truth About the Paleo Diet". She's a celebrity nutritionist (that's her in the pic) and has a lot of fans, and that's why I've bothered writing up a retort to her post. It frustrates me to see so many people misinformed by authors they trust, as good as her intentions may have been. Negativity in The Media Her article, along with … Continue reading
The simple truth is that I don't know. Lemme explain. Whether or not you're trying to lose weight, the amount of fruit you should eat really depends on two things: how active you are and how your particular body responds to carbs. Activity Level If you're an athletic person, you're probably going to need more carbs. More on this in a couple days, but that's all you need to know for now. You're A Unique Snowflake Our bodies really … Continue reading
