Wow! When I started this blog back in 2010 … who knew!?! :) I’m going to give a brief introduction and then go to the most viewed and favorite posts. :) I started the blog because … I was being mocked and ridiculed. I can take ridicule and mocking but after months and months, …
Brace Yourselves! Diabetes awareness month… is coming.
November is like Christmas for the ADA and it’s cronies. It is the month when the American Diabetes Association holds it’s hand out, ‘palm up’ for an entire month… begging for donations to raise … ‘diabetes awareness’.
To many, following a low carb primal meal plan is very limiting (at least initially) … Therefore being creative in the kitchen and having a willingness to explore other foods and other food preparation techniques is important.
I know how to control blood sugar levels … and I know how not to. I see people NOT controlling blood sugar level…all the time. :(
Hey! Do you know who this is? Her face and story has been widely reported and published in major leading newspapers. This is Karen Gale. :) This is an updated story … two years after the original post. See… if I can do it….and if SHE can do it… YOU CAN DO IT … TOO!!! …
There is a nagging question that needs to be answered…. and I am going to take care of this once and for all. First… some background I am not going to bore you with my story (click here for the short version, click here for the long version). In short, I successfully “self treat” my …
David Bookless… a very cool ‘paleo’ guy posted a great article the other day and I just had to post about it. “How To Be More Interesting” Before I discuss the article I want to briefly discuss … I shared the article on Facebook, Twitter and G+ but many blog readers are not friends there …
I am experimenting again … eating only butter, cream and coconut oil. Here is the introduction and Day 1 post, “Fat Fast Day 1.” In yesterday’s post, “Day 2” … I ranted against the ADA and their ridiculous anti-saturated fat stance in addition to providing details on my fat fast. In this post I will talk briefly …
Note: Here is the first post I mention spatchcocking … in that post I was cooking a chicken. I could easily spatchcock a chicken in less than a minute, it is SO easy, quick and simple. I have done it numerous times now and really … there is no reason to ever buy ‘chicken parts’…. …
The topic of today’s post is an important one … especially for those seeking a deeper understanding of why “low carb paleo” works. Bear with me, as the post progresses, there will be studies and more links to help explain things. The cover of Time magazine has it right … YOUR DNA is NOT …
This post originated from an online discussion I engaged in recently, I urge YOU to read this and think about ‘who’s side are you on?” My only reason for participating in nutritional debates or ‘online discussions’? I’m hoping a few lurkers may be persuaded to at least check out a ‘low carb primal’ lifestyle. …

Preface I eXercised almost daily for two years. The last several months my activity level has dropped… mainly due to Ollie and work. I still go for 15-30 minute walks twice a day, lift heavy things 1-3 times a week and perform intense cardio 1-2 times a week. So I am not ‘slacking off’ too …

Sometimes I exaggerate a title to ‘lure’ readers into my blog, other times I try to create an intriguing title to ‘lure’ them. I am doing neither with this post’s title. We were NOT in danger of dying … but we easily could have been injured on the algae covered, coral encrusted, jagged rocks. I violated …
On the next to the last day in Wilmington, NC (see previous post, “Thriving in Wilmington“) I made a grocery run. I purchased a beef round roast (it was on sale) and decided to slice it up thin, braise in bacon and add to a salad. Why did I slice and braise as opposed to broiling …
“Primal Girl in a Paleo World” ~Joy Young My good friend Joy Young tweeted that phrase the other day… and it immediately hit me in a profound way. Background Joy and I have been friends for over two years… it seems as if it was a decade ago! I was investigating primal living… but I …
No matter what you do … no matter how weak or out of shape you are… Do what you can do comfortably and do a little more each day. Here are videos (CLICK HERE) from Mark Sisson that has something for everyone from beginner to advanced. These are his core ‘primal’ exercises. I learned something …
This meal was totally cooked on the Grill. A grilled, bacon, egg and beef MEATWICH! :) ** Remember: You can click on any picture to enlarge it. I tried, very successfully, grilling bacon not long ago (click here if you missed that post) and thought immediately about grilling the other half of a very basic …
My lowER FAT primal experiment (Round 1) has been over for two weeks now. I’m running behind on my postings. Before I start… I want to say this… this experiment was NOT low fat… it is lowER fat. :) If I have learned ONE THING in my two years of “going primal”, it is… … …
