The Label Says Paleo

Ok, Paleo’ers… time to check in on week 3. We had a great week of Thanksgiving and some much-needed vacation.  I know at least 2 of those days were solid paleo days. I was stoked to see the great turnout for our Paleo Thanksgiving feast.  It was a great meal, and some great times. My [...]

I hope everyone is having a great Thanksgiving! 3/5 of Team The Label Says Paleo are gathering for a 100% paleo feast, while Lyssa and Arun are braving the elements at other gatherings. After 3 trips to the grocery store and many hours in the kitchen, I ended up with: Mashed Cauliflower with Roasted Garlic [...]

I know I’ve blogged about this before, but today something special happened. When I walked into the break room this morning to put my lunch in the fridge, the most beautiful cupcakes were sitting on the table. Not store bought crappy cupcakes- beautiful, homemade triple chocolate and strawberry with cream cheese frosting cupcakes. Beautiful. I [...]

The Label Says Paleo team is halfway through the challenge and still going strong!  I’m going to report my progress in this post; team members please post to comments. Week 2 was tough.  I traveled to San Diego for work and did the best I could with eating out and living out of a hotel [...]

Ted Slanker sells happy, grass-fed, free-ranging farm animals–not just cows, but chickens and goats and lambs and … you get the point. His prices on these are reasonable, so if you can afford to buy in bulk and have the freezer/fridge space, I’d highly recommend buying this man’s meats. The man also sends out monthly [...]

From time to time, my work gives me an opportunity to travel.  I used to convince myself these were mini vacations, and after working, would go crazy at the local bar(s) and restaurants. Every meal had appetizers, main course, and dessert.  It was awesome… or so I thought. I always justified it by ensuring myself [...]

It’s Day 11 of the Paleo Challenge! There have been, for me, 8 workouts since we started and pretty much all I can say is, “Meh.” I’ve been doing 85% paleo since August so dialing in hasn’t been a major lifestyle overhaul. That’s not to say it hasn’t been a challenge. There are things that [...]

  Eat clean.  Eat whole.  Eat lots of veggies.  Eat fish and meat (with a focus on wild and free-range if able).  Skip the grains.  Limit the dairy to the raw stuff.  Make fruit and nuts your dessert.  Eat local and in season.  Variety is key.   This is my philosophy on food.   You [...]

Week 1 is down and, up until lunch yesterday, I thought things were going pretty well. Uh, wrong! Hello headache and low energy. It’s not that I expected to be riding high for 30 days but jeez Louise, I needed a nap. (I took one at lunch, another after work, and went to bed at [...]

Team The Label Says Paleo… it’s time for our week 1 recap! Post to comments your progress and realizations this week? We had a great dinner on Thursday, and an awesome brunch on Sunday.  The site peaked at over 300 views one day this week. My week? Sunbutter Organic is totally different (and doesn’t taste [...]
