Contest: Title Twisters

artisan buttersThe Prize:

Nut Butters. Forget peanut butter. Premier Organics makes the good stuff. Their Artisana line includes almond butter, walnut butter, pecan butter, macadamia nut butter, cashew butter, and the singularly wild coconut butter (warm it slightly and it becomes a gooey mouth-spooning indulgence). Winner will receive 10 on the go pouches (one of each variety), and three full jars; one each of almond, macadamia, and coconut butters.

ZukayKvassFermented Vegetable Juice. Yes, you heard right. Zukay, the folks who donated the delightfully tasty salad dressings last year are back with a new brew. Called Kvass (not to be mistaken with the weak and useless bread juice), these are sugarless, tangy juices derived from fermented beets, carrots, and other veggies. Winner will receive a six pack of Veggie Kvass drinks in his or her choice of  flavor.

The Contest:

Read all the rules before entering.

That’s pretty much it. Tell me what you’d like to see covered on MDA with just the article title, and do it with as much creativity and cleverness as you can. I’ll pick a winner and will use submissions for future MDA article ideas.

The Deadline:

Midnight, tonight!

Who is Eligible:

Because these are consumable/potable, only US residents can win them. In the case of an international winner, a substitute prize will be awarded.

Imagine you’re George Clooney. Take a moment to admire your grooming and wit. Okay, now imagine someone walks up to you and asks, “What’s your name?” You say, “I’m George Clooney.” Or maybe you say, “I’m the Clooninator!” You don’t say “I’m George of George Clooney Sells Movies Blog” and you certainly don’t say, “I’m Clooney Weight Loss Plan”. So while spam is technically meat, it ain’t anywhere near Primal. Please nickname yourself something your friends would call you.

  6. Grok’s Midnight Munchies: The Truth Behind Eating Before Sleeping

    CW says that anything you eat before going to sleep will be stored as fat. What is the truth, if any, behind this notion. Or what types of food would.be best(if it even makes a difference) to eat later at night.

  15. “50 Ways to Leave your Blubber”

    (List of one line primal rhymes)

    The problem’s all inside CW, he said to me. The answer is quite easy, you just live life primally.
    I’d like to help you in your struggle to be healthy. There must be 50 ways to leave your blubber:

    Just slip in the fat back, Jack.
    Put your barefeet on the land, stan.
    Get of the gym, Jim,
    and just walk away.

    hey, it sounds like fun to me!

    later,

  19. Too late for the contest, but could you do a post on body aches and pains?

    I’ve experience increased muscle aches on PB, even though I should be well past the low carb flu. I keep seeing others mention it on the forum with few good answers. I’d really like to find out about the cause and/or cure.

    Could it be something weird like carbs have a narcotic effect so pain is more noticeable when they are reduced? Not enough protein? Not enough calories? Toxic crap leaving the body?

  21. “Head Trip: Overcoming your eating disorder so you can live a primal life.”

    “Baby steps: How to get off the couch and turn your life around one step at a time.”

    I’m rather surprised that there aren’t other people on here who mention over eating disorders. I find that mine has been crippling every time I try to start this program. I’m sure that many of our 100+ to lose readers have the same problem.
