I feel like I must warn others

Jay Robb claims this is the “best tasting protein on the planet.”

That could not be farther from the truth. I have tried this stuff it in protein shakes, bars and muffins, and nothing can disguise it’s horrible, horrible flavor.

Do yourself a favor and order your protein from these people. Get it unflavored and [...]

Stupid or Insane? Does it Matter?

I cannot believe I’m about to link to the Huffington Post, but this article really gets to the meat of the so-called obesity epidemic.

In 1977 America changed its health advice. In a nutshell (or, more likely, an ADA approved Mars bar): Eat more starchy foods, eat more carbohydrates, saturated fats are bad. If that sounds [...]

Primal Play

After spending the afternoon at the St. Louis City Museum, I’m starting to think fun exercise is something I need fit in every week.

The grind that occurs at the gym is a big reason why I don’t go to one.

I don’t really do any exercise I don’t enjoy. If I don’t like it, I [...]

Woman’s World Paleo Diet Piece

Well, I didn’t get my actual menu items up, and it’s not going to happen before I go hiking. Work has been taking up my time that I would normally use for blogging. We all have to work some time!

Anyway, I’m not sure what the legality of this is, honestly, but this magazine [...]

Intermittent Fasting

There’s nothing inherently wrong with Intermittent Fasting. I certainly see how it fits into the whole idea of eating as we evolved to eat, and that probably isn’t five (or six, in some cases) meals a day. Skipping meals seems to work for people when it comes to a leaning out stage where, [...]

Two Tidbits

There’s a great Primal Checklist here.

This coconut milk is the best adapted for use in coffee that I’ve yet encountered. It’s thick and creamy enough, but not oily or clumpy in the least. Best of all, it’s *nothing* but coconut milk. In case the link breaks, it’s Aroy-D 100% Coconut Milk in [...]

Have I talked about this before?

Paleolithic-style diets have gotten a lot of press of late. The articles mostly take this form:

1) Hipster discusses their caveman diet and explains that all their problems with digestion, allergies, obesity, blood sugar, athletic performance or what-have-you are gone.

2) Reporter says “isn’t that nice” and proceeds to quote sources of conventional wisdom saying that somehow, [...]

Can’t believe I forgot this

There is an aerobic exercise that I really like: rhythm boxing. It’s a little hard to figure out what they want me to do, especially in the advanced mode, but it does actually retreat to something simpler when I totally screw up the complex thing. If only the balance games would do [...]

Ack! Flip Flops

I realize that since I do wear sandals, and Birks at that, I probably have no right to complain about flip flops, but here I am doing it.

This is from the NYTimes style section that they do on Wednesdays. If you open the picture in a separate window or tab, you’ll get a full [...]
