The Label Says Paleo

Before paleo, my weekday breakfast was either oatmeal with berries or whole grain English muffin with butter. Easy to make, and I thought they were pretty healthy options. After listening to Carey Kepler talk about nutrition, I decided to try changing up my breakfast routine and see what happened. Almost immediately, I noticed a difference [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Hello everyone!  I’m very excited to be able to participate in this blog, while going 100% Paleo with a group of a great people.  Thanks for giving me the opportunity! I hope to add value through my own unique background and perspectives.  Since Lyssa has assured me that this is a lifestyle blog, I figured [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
