Paleo is in the City- At Your Local Bodega!

“It’s hard to find good, fresh, healthy food“, people say all the time.   And, depending on where one lives, it can be quite true. However, both at home in Los Angeles as well as here in NYC, I must comment that the ease at which one can find a healthy option for a meal […]

Can’t Afford Paleo? Stick to the ABCs!

If you’re thinking Paleo living sounds nice, but unattainable because of the cost of grass fed meats, organic produce and wild fish, that alone needn’t be the sole reason to not give it a try. Yes, the source of proteins and vegetable is very important but still, not having the budget doesn’t have to mean […]

Chill Out With Spa Water

That’s what I like to call it, anyway. How many times have you been to the gym, the yoga studio or the spa and partaken of the lemon mint infused water offered in the lobby area or lounge? It’s ridiculously easy to make your own and, in the heat of the summer, create an incredibly […]

Wait… I Thought That Wasn’t Paleo

This was a response I received from a few readers after yesterday’s post on Barnana’s Chewy Energy Bites (made of banana, and nothing else.   It’s just dried fruit!), and for others I’ve written as well.

It’s Just Food. Why is That So Surprising?

There is nothing tricky to the Paleo approach.   I often hesitate to call it a diet as that can imply a direct endpoint as well as infer a host of other unattractive, negative associations such as deprivation, restriction for a while, followed by a frustrated binge and then a repeat of the cycle over […]

Livestrong, You’ve Got It Right!

When I saw the subject line of a recent article on Livestrong, I had to admit, I cringed. “7 Healthy Paleo Dinner Recipes” sent me straight to all the pseudo Paleo ideas out there- things using grass-fed dairy, or gluten-free soy sauce or huge amounts of honey…but happily, none of these things applied! Whoever contributed […]

Paleo Recipes That Aren’t

I just came across a Pinterest page entitled Healthy Paleo Snacks and Treats.  Of course, I had to take a peek. And, of course, many of the recipes were just…not. A few in particular that stood out:  Guilt-Free Ice Cream! Just 3 ingredients: frozen bananas, peanut butter, and cocoa powder (peanut butter?) 1/2 cup peanut […]
