That thing you do with your bored friend, family member, or potential love interest, typically on a scale of “What’s your favorite color?” to “What’s your deepest, darkest secret?” And somewhere in the middle lands, “If you only had one meal left, what would you eat?” When this comes […]
2015 was an amazing year in my health and fitness journey. I think the best day was the moment The What When Wine Diet hit #1 for all Paleo books on Amazon. I almost cried. Beyond that, I connected with so many people through the book and blog, and am so motivated to continue research and writing. I’m about […]
I’m an obsessive girl. Moderation was never in the playing cards for me. In true Scorpio fashion, I hear a little fact or sense the inkling of a feeling, and run with it like there’s no tomorrow. This is a reason I’m (personally) pretty legalistic in my diet. Because for me, it’s all or none. If I […]

This past weekend while working my evening shift at a certain steakhouse in Beverly Hills, an animal rights activist entered the scene. He proceeded to parade through the restaurant, proclaiming to the steak-munching diners that animals have feelings too. I was actually scared for my safety, the police were called, and a lovely memory was made for all. Before […]
Confession: I haven’t upgraded my iPhone 4 because I love not worrying about messing it up. Since it’s so old, it doesn’t matter to me if it gets a dent, or if I drop it in water. Once I get a brand new shiny phone, I’ll have to worry about that first fingerprint smudge, that first scratch, that first […]

Today’s questions comes from What When Diet reader Paul: Loved your book. It reminded me of why I loved doing primal a few years.
