The Argument for a Slow Entry

No, this is not a naughty post. Get your mind outta that gutter! I’m talking about how to put this Paleo stuff to work in your life. Do you rip the band-aid off and go whole hog all at once? Or do you ease in, check the water temp with your toe before wading in? […]

You Must Change Your Life

Archaic Torso of Apollo We cannot know his legendary head with eyes like ripening fruit. And yet his torso is still suffused with brilliance from inside, like a lamp, in which his gaze, now turned to low, gleams in all its power. Otherwise the curved breast could not dazzle you so, nor could a smile […]

Go for the Nutrients

A friend of mine recently brought up Mark Sisson’s Grok figure (here). Grok is, essentially, the embodiment of a Paleolithic lifestyle. Grok is an easy example and answer to the question, “What would an ancient hunter-gatherer do in this situation?” But there’s one fatal flaw to this line of thinking. Because we are Grok. Grok […]

Halfway There

Hey all! Juliann here with another guest post. A few weeks ago I wrote about my kryptonite and I made the promise to go 30 days at 100% primal. Well, I’ve reached the halfway point and I thought I’d drop by to give you all a little update. I started my 30 day paleo challenge on Monday, […]

The Trouble with Moderation

Earlier this week, I quicklinked to an article in the NY Times that talked about a study that essentially proved that what we eat matters, not just how much (here). The study had a lot to say about the popular idea of “moderation”. You know, you hear this all the time. Let’s say someone asks […]

Meat According to the Environmental Working Group

Let me start with the disclaimer that I appreciate and respect the work of the Environmental Working Group. They do good work informing the public and lobbying official channels for a safer world, namely on topics like BPA, sunscreens, and personal care products and cosmetics. I recommended them myself as a great resource to find […]

Paleo Might Be For You If…

By no means is this list exhaustive, but lately, I’ve been aware of a certain sentiment among my friends, family, and acquaintances. I hear it in the way they talk about their weight, their hunger, their exercise (or lack thereof), their energy levels. Rather than approach this as trying to sell someone on a certain […]

The Most Ridiculous Thing I’ve Seen All Day.

And it’s only 9am… Apparently, according to this article, British researchers are recommending that children under the age of 5, even those who aren’t walking yet, need to exercise. *crickets…crickets…crickets…* What I want to ask these researchers…god, where to start? How about, did you exercise as a baby? Did your mother exercise as a baby? […]

They Always Blame the Meat

I’m glad Melissa McEwan said it (here), ’cause I’ve been thinking the same thing. After reading The End of Overeating by David Kessler, McEwan couldn’t help but wonder, “When I see a study that shows meat causes weight gain, I kind of want to know ‘what meat?’.” Apparently, the book blames meat for the epidemic […]
