Paleo: A Guide to Spiritual & Intellectual Growth

May 1, 2015

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It was a couple of years into my personal Paleo journey and I was beginning to learn that this lifestyle ain't just about the food or what you choose to shovel into your mouth. It's not just about bacon, and tearin' it up at the gym, and it's not just about bulletproof coffee (sorry Dave, I love you) and finding loopholes to make waffles again. And should we even label it anymore? Though I was an avid supporter of Paleo for years, I mainly practiced a...

7 Tips For a Lifetime of Fitness

April 28, 2015

There’s a major misconception about fitness. Your greatest fitness challenge isn’t getting fit. Your greatest challenge is staying fit. “While it’s not necessarily easy to become fit, there’s nothing special about anyone who becomes fit.” Think about that. Anyone can become fit. Anyone. Sure, it does take discipline with diet and exercise, but it can be done. But the misconception now begins...because fitness isn’t something to achieve. Fitness is something to sustain. Your fitness isn't a...

Foods to Avoid on The Paleo Diet

March 28, 2015

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As a follow up to the previous post which included a complete Paleo Diet food list, we have compiled a list of foods to avoid on the Paleo Diet as well. As the theory behind the Paleo Diet goes, foods from the post-agricultural, Neolithic Era are to be avoided while following this diet. As much of the Paleo Diet itself is highly speculative, the following list of foods to avoid on the Paleo Diet is merely a compilation of what we currently believe to be...

The Paleo Diet Is Bullshit

March 7, 2015

Introduction: Is the Paleo Diet Really “Bullshit”? Critics often dismiss the Paleo Diet as pseudoscience, while proponents argue that no one has adapted to a post-agricultural diet. Both extremes overlook the fundamental concept that the Paleo framework was always intended as an evolutionary hypothesis, not a static rulebook. If we accept that evolution via natural selection is the central dogma of biology, then the Paleo Diet becomes a testable framework for understanding how human dietary...

Hope for The American Diet

January 28, 2015

This past Christmas Eve I was driving my parents from Washington D.C. To Atlanta, and at hour seven I must confess...I grabbed for my mom's bag of Cheetos. As I reminded myself not to eat the entire bag, I remembered my mom's previous comment, “Cheetos are my comfort food.” I looked at the damage I had done already and told myself I had one more handful to enjoy before leaving the rest for her (she was sleeping). In true Ron Burgundy style, I thought, “Well that got out of hand quickly!” I...

Nom Nom Paleo Disappointment

January 8, 2015

I'd like to share with you my disappointment with Michelle Tam and Henry Fong's new cookbook, Nom Nom Paleo. If you decide to pick up a copy of Nom Nom Paleo Food for Humans by Michelle Tam & Henry Fong, you may have to be prepared for a big disappointment. I say this because I am certain that you will miss out on what I consider the best part of cooking….. leftovers. To Michelle and Henry's credit, the portions are reasonable— but unfortunately, my family is not. After every single...

Is Kombucha Paleo?

January 8, 2015

As always, it depends on who you ask. Did caveman have kombucha? Probably Not. Could caveman have made kombucha with pre-agricultural revolution ingredients? Absolutely, Does that matter? Probably not. Just because our hunter-gatherer ancestors did or didn’t do something doesn’t make it inherently healthy, or unhealthy. What does matter is how that fits into our current lives. And with that, let's discuss Kombucha. Is Kombucha Paleo? What is Kombucha? First, Kombucha is a fermented tea...
