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...
I am paleo but I make my living teaching people how to identify and eat wild plants. A lot of vegetarians sign up for my classes and I hear this view...
Duck eggs have a larger yoke than chicken eggs, and the white of the egg is a bit more rubbery when cooked. Duck eggs were favored for cakes because...
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...
Musician all my life, its what drives me and forms me. I started playing guitar when i was 10, and picked up a few more instruments along the way. Then i became an audio engineer, to better understand my art.
Lived like a rock star without the 'star' for years, drinking heavily, smoking heavily, eating whatever the hell i wanted cause i'm just a skinny guy. I became an alcoholic, after i dropped out of varsity and went overseas, it got worse and worse. Eventually i had to give it up, and after a couple of years trial and error, i'm scot free. I've been clean for about three years (i dont really cont, dont need to). I felt like i had walked away from it so easily. I was even scared at one point that it was too easy. But then i realised that there is a little swith inside us, controlled by sheer logic. I learned how to flip it. This year i quit smoking (with huge help from Allen Carr's book), once again, scot free, the easy way. Logic and rational thought. That was in June or so. I started smoking when i was 11...seriously. I was a pack a day of the strongest i could find, for the last ten years.
After that...i thought...know what?
So i looked into exercise, and diet.
The last two months i've been reading everything i can possibly find about those two subjects, and trying to make my own mind up.
Then...Mark's Daily Apple came up on my screen, and it all started making a lot of sense. I've never been one to jump on board with a movement or something that, from the outside, might seem like a hippy cult (no offense, i've just seen my fair share of those;). But logic and rational, evolutionary thought wins my heart every time.
As of this writing, i am a week into my Primal journey.
But i'm also at the start of my life...
