My way to annoy people is to be in good shape. And when they ask me if I'm a vegetarian -- which they always assume -- I tell them no, I'm paleo. I ...
I cook mine in a solar oven. As it is slow, moist cooking I put vegetables in with it, usually garlic and brassica family members. Three hours later...
Sugar tax? No. There's too much nanny state mentality already. Freedom includes the right to eat yourself to death. There isn't a shortage of people....
Doctors deserved to be bashed particularly in the area of nutrition. Their bad advice won't go away until they retire or die because their income is...
Many, many years ago I was working as a journalist on a daily paper when the teachers went on strike for more money. Two of them came to the paper to...

That's because legal pushers (psychiatrists) keep inventing new conditions to drug (and usually in children who can't say no.) Convenient. Then when...
The best thing about going to a gym is leaving it. I lift three days a week and do not enjoy a single moment of it. Treadmills are very boring thus I...
I have been active and health conscious for most of my adult life, but never able to stick to something long term that fits my needs (vegetarian, low fat, low sugar, 5-6 meals/day, etc). Since hitting perimenopause a few years back, my weight has shifted and my waist expanded. Within THREE WEEKS of adopting a Paleo diet, I lost 3 inches on my waist (down to 26")and I no longer feel bloated. My sugar cravings are gone and I feel wonderful. I am probably at 90/10 right now, but I am eagerly sucking up all the information I can to learn more about making myself well. In addition to the weight gain, I developed scoliosis. Although the curve is still there, the muscle pain and the tension in my neck is gone. I know this must be the diet correcting the inflammatory process. Thank you!!!!
