Seeing Things in a Whole New Light – Giving the Paleo Treatment to Sunglasses
During the three years I've lived in Australia, I've spent a lot of time wearing Sunglasses (or, as they're more commonly known in Australia, Sunnies). Even in the winter here, it's often very bright and sunny (even if the air is cool). In the summer, it gets really bright and sunny. Sunglasses – well, that's […]

When Paleo Meets Vegan
There's an interesting talk at the Sydney Opera House tomorrow, as part of the Festival of Dangerous Ideas. The talk is entitled “What We Are and What We Eat”, by Jonathan Safran Foer. Foer has written a book called “Eating Animals”, and it sounds like he has a strong vegan, anti-Paleo agenda. From what I've […]
7,497 Miles to PrimalCon
One of the highlights of 2011 so far was the weekend I went to PrimalCon 2011 in California in April. I enjoyed it so much, that I booked my ticket for the 2012 event as soon as the tickets went on sale this morning. I hadn't realised quite how far America was from Australia when […]
Lighter Life, The Anti Paleo Diet?
There's been a lot in the UK press recently, about British actress Pauline Quirke. Quirke has lost about 47kg (105 pounds) in just eight months. This extreme very low calorie diet seems really popular in the UK, but thankfully it doesn't appear to have taken off in Australia and New Zealand. She has done this […]
Handling Social Gatherings Whilst Remaining Paleo
Throughout my “official” Whole-30 period, I found it really easy to keep on the Paleo-straight & narrow, without a single cheat. I think I'm especially fortunate living in Sydney, where many restaurants pride themselves on fairly whole, local (and often organic) food. I eat out fairly often, and continued to do so during the 30-day […]
How to Get Cheap Vibrams
As I explained in my previous post, I love running barefoot, in VFFs. When I was in America for PrimalCon & the AHS this year, I was so shocked to see how cheap Vibrams were, compared to here in Australia. I bought two pairs, the Treksport in pink from a big outdoors store in Texas and […]
Paleo Sausages
I've found an amazing organic butcher, really close to where I live. I've used them for almost all of my meat for a while. I was there earlier this week buying some bacon (the best bacon I've had in Australia, actually) and pork, when I mentioned what a shame it is that all of their […]
The Problem With Shoes
I used to wear heels every day, and bigger heels at weekends. When I wasn't in heels I’d be wearing my supportive, shock absorbing, high-tech trainers. After a lot of running I ended up with shin splints, apparently cause by incorrect over pronation. My physio had some impressive equipment & software which took measurements of my […]
