Today was very good on the paleo front, since I ate most of my meals at home. It’s insanely easier to find something to eat when you’re cooking for yourself, or when you stock your pantry/fridge with awesome paleo options. I get so much great meat and produce from the farmer’s market, and can make [...]
Day 11
I’ve been finding that staying paleo is really only difficult when I eat out. I joke with my paleo-challenge friend that when we look for food in our school cafe, its essentially our day’s worth of hunting and gathering. It’s a bit sad that vegan options are all around, but no paleo. Just for consistency, [...]
Carbs against Cardio: More Evidence that Refined Carbohydrates, not Fats, Threaten the Heart: Scientific American
Carbs against Cardio: More Evidence that Refined Carbohydrates, not Fats, Threaten the Heart: Scientific American. I wish this evidence would be taught in nutrition courses. We’re still being told that saturated fat, because it “raises cholesterol”, is bad for you.
Day 8-10… whoops!
So one of the problems with being in grad school is that you end up being really busy. All the time. So doing a photoblog of my diet is starting to get challenging to keep up with. I think from now on I’ll only post pictures of creative meals that I eat to give you [...]
Day 7
Today was not so great as far as eating goes. I had to work at 4:30 so I didn’t really have a proper dinner.
Beyond Paleo: moving from a “paleo diet” to a “paleo template”
Beyond Paleo: moving from a “paleo diet” to a “paleo template”. Good advice about how to follow a Paleo “template” in your life to improve your health. No need to be super strict about everything all the time. If you’re not enjoying yourself, what’s the point of being healthy?
Day 6
Not going to lie, posting pictures of my food every day is not something I’d want to keep up with indefinitely. Once this Paleo challenge is done on October 30th, I’m only going to be posting pictures of recipes. This photoblogging is only to show you what a Paleo inspired diet looks like.
Day 5
I forgot to post my food from yesterday! Sometimes life in graduate school gets a little busy.
Day 4
First full day of classes staying on Paleo, and it wasn’t too bad. It seems like the thing to do is make extra dinner the night before, and take half of it as leftovers for lunch. That’s what I did for lunch today, and it worked fine. It really saves time with cooking, since you [...]
Day 3
So today was a very odd, but also successful, Paleo day. I say odd, because I seriously felt STUFFED after every meal. I say successful, because not only did I stick to the plan, but when I entered all the data in my nutrition calculation software, the total calories came in at well under 1800, [...]
Is the Paleo diet healthy? – CNN.com
Is the Paleo diet healthy? – CNN.com. A strangely appropriate Q&A from an obese patient to a nutrition “specialist”. The doctor contributes absolutely nothing to the conversation, but the commentary at the bottom of the article is very interesting. This just highlights the kind of outdated “information” that physicians are learning in med school.
