This past weekend while working my evening shift at a certain steakhouse in Beverly Hills, an animal rights activist entered the scene.

Not because I’m an elitist health snob, but rather because I want to be with someone who values their own health and wellness. Healthy bodies make for happy and vibrant people! (I’m convinced the day I meet a fellow Paleo intermittent faster gentleman, it […]

While I can definitely tell you what intermittent fasting feels like in general, the initial transition is a different story.
