I like hummus. But, being made of beans, I don’t reckon that it’s all that paleo or primal. What’s a caveman to do? I don’t remember how I found this site, maybe my wife pointed it out to me, but I found my answer over at Everyday Paleo: Walnut Red Pepper Dip 2 cups shelled [...]
It’s a blended ice drink using protein powder, so it’s definitely not paleo. Since I use a high quality powder from Optimum Nutrition, I guess it could be considered primal. But, even without either label, it is definitely good! To me, it tasted very much like a frappa-something from one of those exceedingly large, multinational [...]
For at least the past three years, I would get sick with a respiratory infection at some point in October or November. Two and three years ago, it was while I was visiting family for Thanksgiving. It is seriously not fun spending Thanksgiving day tracking down an urgent care facility in a small town and [...]
One of my absolute favorite “cheat” snacks is a few squares of Lindt Excellence 90% Cocoa Bar (Supreme Dark) slathered with a couple of tablespoons of Nutivia Coconut Oil. This is a 470 kcalorie snack, which is perfect for me as an intermittent faster. There are 48 grams of fat (37g saturated), 14 grams of [...]
I love Lindt chocolate. It’s not exactly paleo, but I just couldn’t give it up. I did, however, move up from the 50% (Smooth Dark) and 70% (Intense Dark) bars to the 90% (Supreme Dark) bar. I would link to the nutritional info, but it’s not on the Lindt website! They have the 85% bar [...]
OK, so I was stumbling around on the Internet when I found the AllRecipes.com Dinner Spinner (iPhone app). I don’t know that AR will have a lot of paleo/primal recipes to choose from–or, at least, there won’t be a paleo/primal category to choose from. However, me being me and free being free, I tried it [...]
Yesterday, Richard over at Free The Animal put out a call to health & fitness bloggers to leave links to their website so he can update his blogroll. I used the comments myself to find a few new blogs and sites to keep an eye on. One of those is called This Primal Life. I [...]
Back in ’06, just before I ran the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half-Marathon here in Virginia Beach, I created a replacement of the USDA‘s food pyramid. Mark Sisson even used that original version in one of his posts: Sisson Says: Don’t “Loaf” Around. I had actually forgotten about it until I stumbled across Mark’s post. I could [...]
First of all, I like the title of Vin’s post so much that I just used it for my post… but that’s OK, because my post is just a link back to his! Great all around post that you should read, but this line says a lot on its own: If you condensed all of [...]
Meat Crust + Toppings = Meatza. Yummy! My wife and I used to do this often when we were doing Atkins. I think that maybe it’s time to do it again… though, perhaps with less cheese. As I recall, it was typically just a beef crust, but I really like the idea of pork… oh, [...]
