My housemate bought me the best birthday present – an enameled cast iron casserole dish, which I've been itching to try! I had the idea last night to make a curry with one of my favourite ingredients – avocado. I hoped the avocado would work as a creamy base for the chicken curry, which seemed […]
I hadn't had jerky much before I went to the AHS in August. I’d tried it, but wasn't that impressed. At the AHS the US Wellness Meats company supplied lots of jerky – so I had to try it! It tasted fantastic; completely different to any jerky I’d tried before. The beef jerky I tried contain […]
So, yesterday was my Birthday and I had a fabulous time. I hadn't drunk for a long time, but as it was my Birthday, it seemed only right to have a few drinks at my Halloween party last night! Alcohol and Paleo? Do they mix? I think there are two main problems with drinking whilst […]
It’s my birthday today, which is the perfect time to evaluate my achievements this past year – and to focus on what I want to achieve in this brand new, unchartered year. This past year can be summarised by one word for me: Paleo! I’ve travelled to America twice for PrimalCon and the Ancestral Health […]
Perhaps you avoid nightshades yourself, or have noticed a lot of people do? Is there any reason for avoiding them? Nightshades are in the Solanaceae family, which comprises 2,800 types of plant. The common nightshades include potatoes (which aren't consumed on a Paleo regime, so I won’t be talking about them), tomatoes, all types of […]
I was interested to hear about a study linking consumption of non-diet soft drinks with violence in teenagers. The study found teenagers who drank soft drinks frequently were 9 – 15% more likely to engage in violent activities, than those who were not frequent drinkers. Almost one in three pupils in the study group of […]
I didn't have much spare time last night and an almost empty fridge, so I had to get a bit creative in the kitchen to make my Paleo dinner. I had half a packet of organic beef mince, a few veggies and lots of herbs; this is what I put together in under 30 minutes. […]
I found this enlightening little article in November’s “Good Health” magazine (I wish they’d be more accurate and add “not” before the magazine name). When will they get over their obsession with “Health Whole Grains”? The article tells us to “replace one serving of red meat a day with one serving of nuts, low-fat dairy or […]
I picked up the November issue of “Diabetic Living” magazine yesterday. The piece below tells diabetic readers how good Fruit Slim sweets are, “sugar-free, fat-free, fibre filled”, which will “halt food cravings in their tracks”. It then goes on to say that there is more fibre in five of these sweets, than there is in […]
There seem to be quite a few Paleo Films and TV shows with a Paleo theme. My favourites are: – Robb Wolf in ICaveman As I'm sure everyone has heard by now Robb Wolf was just on ICaveman on Discovery spreading the Paleo message. Tom Naughton’s Fat Head Tom made this film in response to […]
