Ya Gotta Eat!
Here we discuss and explore all aspects of eating for health, performance and longevity. We'll reference the best sources for information and guidance on food quality, nutrition values, the Zone, sustainable agriculture, community gardening, vermiculture, the Paleo Diet, meal timing, carb loading, eating on the go, dealing with a "house divided", the works of Eades, Cordain, Wolf, Campbell, Pollan, anybody who has something to say, even if we disagree.

Annimal strikes again, but this time with muffins. Who doesn't like muffins? EXACTLY, and this Paleo recipe brought to us from Feasting on Fitness is incredible!

Turns out, according to a recent study, that looking at breasts is Healthy! I knew us men were on to something.

I never thought I'd be posting on this section of the blog but if a girl wants cookies and she's Paleo then we need to learn how to bake some Paleo cookies.
2 eggs
2 cups almond meal
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup dark chocolate bits (not totally Paleo, you can sub dried fruit pieces)
Mix all ingredients together. Make little dough balls (mine were about a spoon full) and place on a greased baking pan. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 10min. Makes about 15 cookies. Cookies=Yum.

Here's a simple 5 ingredient recipe for you to try - it's delicious! Anything fried is delish, right?! And it's paleo, too. I found the three coconut products at Whole Foods.

Here's a GREAT (simple) article on how The Gluten Effect and energy-levels are related. Use it to spread the word to all our peeps who ask us why we eat so "complicated" and WHYYYY we're cavemen (cuz we're frikkin SMART that's why haha)
The Brain Vitamins article is really good too.

If you think that paleo meatloaf just isn't the same without some mashed potatoes on the side - you need to try mashed rutabagas! Peel and chop the rutabaga just like potatoes, boil until tender (that part takes longer than with potatoes), drain and mash. I added butter, cream, and salt. They have a great flavor, a little sweet - very tasty.
Ounce for ounce rutabagas have the same potassium as bananas, at 1/3 of the carbs. They are also high in Vitamin C. Really like 'em? 10 oz gets you the same amount of calcium as 1/2 c. of milk. So eat up - it's rutabaga season!

I am always looking for new ways to spice up my carbs and this recipe was a huge success! The actual recipe calls for chicken as well but I already had meat prepared so I just did the veggie portion. It took me about 20min to prepare and then 1 hour in the oven. If you don't have a food processor then it will take a little longer. Make this on Sunday and you'r good to go till hump day at least.

I made a modifided version of this last night and it's freaking ridiculous...Seriously, this is crack for Paleo junkies. Who would have thought you can eat this good and still be in good health! Tonight I'm working on some Paleo BBQ sauce to lather it in.

JWhit sent me this question:
"I don't know what I was smoking when I bought the Almond Milk and GK Cafe drinks from Kroger. I was so interested in the ingredients that I didn't look at serving size and cals from sugar. Both of them are full fo sugar in some form. That was dumb of me not to look.
Do you know where I can get a list of Sugar Aliases? I am sure I'v been taking in tons of it w/o knowing. I have been looking for the usual suspects HFCS, Sugar, Sweeteners and so on, but I am sure I have missed some."
My answer:
"Jason,
You figured it out, that's all that matters. Good for you, a lot of people never notice.
Check this. It's pretty thorough. The easiest thing is just avoid processed stuff. Stick with simple, real food. You know the mantra; meat and veggies, nuts and seeds, some fruit,little starch and no sugar."
