The Label Says Paleo

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 [...]

http://www.thegreenguide.com/food/buying/beef-label-decoder Bottom line, most of these labels leave a lot of room for questions. Do the best you can when shopping at a store, but the best quality meat is going to be the kind you can buy at the farmer’s market or at an actual ranch (perhaps MooJesus!).

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 [...]

OK, I made these again and the new version is EVEN BETTER than the last. Changes will all be in bold below. I also came up with the holy grail: a Paleo Buttercream frosting!!! Sorry I’ve been MIA, team, I’ve been throwing the crazy party you guys were all SO AWESOME about supporting. I’ve been [...]

For me, the most interesting part of the Paleo Challenge was that my body failed on it pretty miserably. If you go back and read my posts or comments compared to others, I complained about roller coaster energy levels, cravings that didn’t disappear, and though I might not have mentioned it, a scale that didn’t [...]

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! [...]

Yogurt Spot will probably be my first stop when I get back into Austin next week, a week after the Paleo Challenge ends. But until then, and even after, I think, I have found a wonderful substitute. Eric once made coconut milk ice cream, but I’ve heard many people talk about a banana-soft-serve-style frozen treat, [...]
