Todays questions come from Murcia, who started IF, and has a few followup questions after reading The What When Wine Diet. “Your book is Amazing and I just finished it 🙂 I guess I have to start again. I thoroughly enjoyed the science behind it all. Very fascinating stuff. I have a few questions in regards to the […]
People often think shopping Paleo style will be inherently difficult. How does one navigate the packaged supermarket world unscathed? But it’s really not that hard. Really. Nor does it have to be crazily expensive. While brightly colored packaged goodies may beckon with seemingly great value, consider the nutritional breakdown of whole foods. If you look at food as […]
Check out my short video on what foods you can eat on the Paleo Diet, on my new YouTube channel! I struggled with whether or not to go in detail about what foods not to eat (grains, legumes, processed foods, etc.) but decided to save that for later videos. I included my personal Paleo pyramid as well! (Such […]

In a previous post, I discussed the precarious support behind a high fiber diet. To briefly recap, a vast and unsupported assumption crediting fiber with colon cancer prevention fueled the “EAT MORE FIBER ALL THE TIME” mantra. However, I would like to add a caveat. Fiber may actually bear an extremely important relation to health, but […]
Fat is confusing stuff. We hate it on our body, yet love it in our mouth. In general we don’t think it’s healthy, but now we’re not so sure? We’re told some kinds of fat are “super foods” which save you from every ill known to mankind, while others kill you. (Don’t even THINK about […]
Changing habits is hard. Especially when those habits involve food. And the super palatable, refined, processed foods we eat today function psychology like an addiction, so that surely doesn’t help matters. But while going Paleo may be an uphill journey, it will be worth it. I wouldn’t be so enthusiastic about Paleo if it hadn’t literally changed my life. (I didn’t […]
Dining at restaurants Paleo-style actually isn’t that difficult once you get the hang of it. Most restaurants have some sort of meat dish on the menu, as well as vegetables. You just gotta think outside the box! Paleo is also super easy because you don’t have to gauge calories or scrutinize portion sizes {sigh of relief}. Here’s some tips and […]
Let’s zero in on fiber for a second. I like to think of fiber as a Reality TV star: quite famous, but of questionable merit. While not as deleterious to our health as the low-fat paradigm, the whole EAT MORE FIBER thing is a bit misleading. Fiber refers to indigestible carbohydrates found in the cell walls of plants. Fiber adds no […]
I’m Joining the Club! When I found out a few weeks ago that I’m allergic to wheat, I jumped for joy. It was like my official invitation to the gluten-free club. I was no longer the “poser” I felt like up until that point. (Like: “Hi! I don’t eat gluten because… umm… it’s bad. Can I sit with […]
