The Label Says Paleo

Installment I:  Baked Salmon with Remoulade Sauce and Kale Although I love to cook, and would gladly spend an hour in the kitchen preparing a meal, the reality is that I don’t always have that kind of time.  I use several strategies to tackle this dilemma, two of which include:  planning ahead (I often cook [...]

Yes, this recipe calls for cream cheese.  Yes, cream cheese is a dairy product.  And yes, I know that dairy isn’t strictly Paleo; but guess what? Neither am I!  I’ve adapted a lifestyle that is live-able for ME, provides results for ME, and most importantly–is something that MY body responds positively to.  No two people [...]

Hey Paleo folks! We’ve had forums for a while now, but they were a bit confusing. So, we went in and revamped them, installing new forum software. Feel free to post your questions to the forums, and let’s get some discussions going! Just click the “Forum” link in the upper navigation, or go there now.

Originally written for Red Licorice Events… you can find the original, here. After the 1.1. Run, I was talking to a friend who told me that she’s going gluten-free this year.  This Ironman athlete made an intriguing find during her 2009 season: she planned gluten-free meals in the weeks leading up to her races, and [...]

On the Paleo diet, you have to be really careful with any sort of condiments or dips. Mustard is generally safe, but many others contain sugar and/or questionable oils. When TLSP took on “strict paleo” back in November, I spent a good deal of time reading mayonnaise labels at every grocery store I stopped in. [...]

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 [...]

We’ve touched on supplements before, but I came across this article from Dr. Andrew Weil and wanted to share it. He is raising his daily recommendation of 1000 IU Vitamin D to 2000 IU. Here’s the part that really made an impression on me: To focus particularly on cancer prevention, two recent meta-analyses (in which [...]

As a freelance writer, I spend a lot of time eating out — checking out new restaurants, schmoozing over lunches, and networking at happy hours. I’ve also been traveling more recently, so I’ve been having to eat out more as I’ve gotten more strict with my Paleo diet (I also strictly only eat free-range chicken [...]

This past weekend I had ever intention of making a how-to video of Veronica’s recipe for cooking a whole chicken. My friend Daniel was over at my apartment for 4.5 hours trying to fix my laptop with no luck. While I had plenty of time to clean my office, kitchen, and living room, I still [...]

I hate the word diet.  I know even saying that is cliche in and of itself… everyone claims their diet is not, in fact, a diet… it’s a lifestyle.  But let’s face it, Zone, Skinny Bitch, Nutrisystem, South Beach, Atkins, the list can go on… those are diets.  No one ever ate like that.  There [...]
