The Label Says Paleo

A couple of weekends back I had the privelege of attending a dinner party with a group of people so phenomenal that I actually get a little nervous everytime I get around them. They all have such remarkable life stories and endless spunk! I left that evening inspired for action/direction for my own life PLUS a [...]

An article recently came out in Atlantic Monthly that is particularly interesting for our Whole-Foods-loving band of paleos: http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/201003/walmart-local-produce Atlantic Monthly writer Corby Kummer shopped for ingredients from both Wal-Mart and Whole Foods in order for Austin’s FINO (who, btw, often but not always have local, free range meat) to create a four-course dinner. They [...]

This past week I was up in DC for work. I wind up travelling for work just 2 to 3 times per year, so I’m very lucky that I’m not on the road more, fighting to stay paleo. Travelling paleo is tricky. It really is. It requires some extra effort, maybe a little extra dinero, [...]

Three free-range chickens, all in a row As the new year continues to march forward I’ve had to think quite a bit about my personal goals, as well as, the TLSP goals. Unfortunately, unlike my fellow TLSP-ers, I’m not much of a cook. I’m able to follow their delicious recipes and, when all is said [...]

In my quest to make a better post-workout meal, I needed some whey protein to mix into my sweet potatoes (at the moment, sweet potatoes are the only things I can stomach after an intense workout).  I got several suggestions from friends on the best protein power to mix in there, but every single one [...]

Back in November our TSLP nurse, Veronica, brought us information on Prolotherapy. For me, it couldn’t have come at a better time. Just a few weeks after her post appeared I was diagnosed with a labral tear in my hip. Everyone seems to go the surgery route to correct a labral tear. Prolotherapy, however, is [...]

It’s illegal to buy raw milk in the state of Texas, but to be Paleo with our milk it must be raw. You can buy raw milk on the farm from the owner, so off we went. We picked this raw dairy out of a list of many (some closer to Austin) raw dairies simply [...]

So we’ve been doing this Paleo diet thing, and mixing with CrossFit, and if you’ve been reading this blog, you’ve seen some reports of feeling a little weaker at first.  There are a number of factors that dictate how bad you feel during/after a workout, especially when you’re drastically changing the way you eat.  One [...]

The team got together for dinner at my place tonight.  The menu: Pecan-crusted chicken breast: sub out the salt in Emeril’s essence, and use almond meal instead of bread crumbs for the crust. Collard greens with bacon (see Veronica’s post) Paleo lemon merengue pie: make the crust with almond meal, cinnamon, organic vegetable shortening, and [...]

People, I am 15 hours and 55 minutes into my first day “off” the Paleo Challenge and I can’t bring myself to eat anything not Paleo. I’m at a coffeeshop, but as I tweeted, I couldn’t even bring myself to buy a latte or some vegan pumpkin bread. I’m scared! Big bad dairy, grains, soy! [...]
