It’s getting worse every day. Not only are we being inundated with recipes for “Paleo” ice cream, cookies, muffins and waffles, now they’re being classified as healthy snacks. This is getting dangerous, people…tread lightly. Today in an article on IDEA Fit’s newsletter, a leading resource for fitness and wellness professionals was a piece entitled “Recipe for […]
Read More ›Is olive oil your go-to for everything you cook? Or perhaps you’re into the idea that ghee is a great way to prepare your veggies? Neither are actually the best approach. Olive oil is absolutely an important part of Paleo eating, but (and that’s a big but) ideally, you’re eating it raw and drizzling […]
