Top Ten Blog Posts Paleo Network-min

The Top Ten Paleo Blog Posts in August

I spend a lot of time reading as many Paleo blogs as I can fit in everyday and thought I’d share a few of my favourites from last month.  Last month was especially good as it featured the first Ancestral Health Symposium.

Top Ten Blog Posts Paleo Network-min

1.       That Paleo Guy on the Ancestral Health Symposium

Jamie Scott is a Kiwi who gave a great lecture at the AHS.  It was great to meet him in person after reading his blog.  I enjoyed reading his review of the event.

2.       The Diet Doctor on What does Loren Cordain and Lindeberg have for lunch?

I enjoyed this as a. It’s nice to see people practicing what they preach, and b. that’s where I bough my lunch too at the AHS!  After hearing Andreas Eenfeldt’s fantastic lecture I really look forward to his posts.

3.       Tom Naughton on Still Another A-Salt On Science

I’ve been reading Tom Naughton’s blog since watching his movie FatHead and love his writing.  His lecture at the AHS was another favourite too, as funny in real life as he is in the movie and blog.  Only Tom could come up with the scientific conclusion that Hypertension is caused by wearing pants. Brilliant!

4.       Mark Sissons at 58

What a great way to silence the reader who questioned whether Mark was getting fat!  Er, no.  He’s definitely not!

5.       Emily Deans series on Do Carbs Make You Crazy?

Emily Deans is a psychiatrist with a keen interest on evolutionary medicine.  It’s really interesting to read her angle

6.       Everyday Paleo with their version of Larabars

I’ve found some great recipes over at Everyday Paleo and (once I finish my Whole30) am really looking forward to trying these bars.  I tried Larabars for the first time when I was in America for Primal Con earlier this year – they were amazing!  I’ve not been able to find them, or any Paleo equivalent here in Australia (please let me know if you have!) so making my own is a great option! Check out my recipe for my version of cherry larabars

7.       Modern Paleo on Another Bad Journalist Examine the Paleo Diet

A good rebuttal of a d piece of journalism!

8.       Nell Stephenson on Paleo Training Food

This was a very timely article as it appeared at around the time my marathon running housemate was starting out on his Paleo experiment

9.       BTB with The Elevator Speech on No Grains.

Because I’ve tried to have that conversation so many times!

10.   Free the Animal on The Supplements I Take & Why I Take Them

I love Richard Nikoleys blog – he just comes out and says exactly what is on his mind.  No holding back!  I was interested to see which supplements Richard takes, as that is an area I’m continually exploring on my own journey.

Gluten Free Expo Conference Paleo Event

The Sydney Gluten Free Expo

I went along to the Gluten Free Expo yesterday, at the Sydney Showground.

Gluten Free Expo Conference Paleo Event

I'm not sure why now, but I expected it to be very Paleo friendly and full of Vibram clad feet. Surely going completely grain free would be the natural conclusion for those with Coeliac disease? Ditching the bread and refined carbs in favour of real, whole food?

The Gluten Free event was sponsored by Coles and the stands were almost all offering packaged, processed food. Crisps, pasta, processed meats, ready meals, breakfast cereals, cakes and sweets. They all seemed to have removed gluten and replaced it with more sugar, other grains and lots of chemicals. I studied the ingredients on every stand and managed to find one little jar of spices, that would get the Paleo seal of approval! One product!

Going Gluten Free?

It's well worth trying to remove Gluten from your diet. So many people don't tollerate it well, without being full-blown Coeliac. When constantly exposed to Gluten, it's hard to even realise what impact it has on your body. It isn't until all traces of Gluten are out of your system that you can begin to understand how it affects you.

Gluten intolerance seems to be strongly correlated with inflammation issues such as IBS, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, cancer, autoimmune diseases, HD, ADD, ADHS, Autism, indigestion, stomach complaints and many other health complaints.

If you're looking to go Gluten Free, the Whole30 is a great program to use to kick this off with! I haven't ever heard of anyone regretting going Gluten Free!
