The bundle of the week is a subject near and dear to me...paleo foods! Paleo forever changed the way I eat and view a healthy diet because paleo fixed so many nagging health issues for me, many of which I didn't even realize were a problem until they were gone. For instance, bloating. I never realized how much bloat I was carrying around while on a diet that incorporated grains and I never realized how amazingly energetic I wasn't feeling. Paleo and primal foods have been a game changer for me … [Read more...]
Balancing pH with the Right Foods & Alkaline Water
As I have mentioned before my “healthy diet” ideals are varied and spread out among numerous ideologies and theories. I cherry pick the things that appeal to me and work for me and I drop the things that don't work so well. For instance I started out liking the WAPF way of eating but kind of moved away from it as I narrowed in on a grain free, dairy free diet. Yet I still love the bone broth, probiotics, and organ meats they promote so heavily. I like the variety of veggies and plant based foods … [Read more...]
Paleo for Health – Don’t Be a Hater
I was motivated to write this post after a headline popped up on my Facebook feed today that declared the Paleo diet to be "pathetic".

I Resolve to Make 2013 Another Great Year
I thought today would be a fitting day to not only get off my duff and come back to work/blogging after a ten day vacation but also to write up a post with my New Year's goals for 2013. If you recall I had three goals or resolutions for 2012 with the main one forming a sort of theme... HAVE MORE FUN!!! Well I knocked that resolution out of the park. Here is a picture of me thoroughly enjoying 2012... Okay so that isn't actually me that picture kinda sums it up though. I took … [Read more...]
My Paleo Update and The Whole30
It has been a little over a year now since I decided to eschew my vegetarian diet and go paleo. It was just before Thanksgiving when I dived into the book Wheat Belly and in fact I was reading it before and after our Thanksgiving meal at my parent's house. I felt like every paragraph was a revelation and I couldn't wait to begin what I felt would be a brave new life journey. I wanted to see if going paleo would help with some nagging health issues that a plant based diet was having no success … [Read more...]
