It's a common belief that sweet potatoes are healthier than white potatoes. I am not saying this is not true.

I don't think so. You may not eat any potatoes at all. Great! There is not a single food on this planet that you absolutely have to eat for vibrant health. You only need to take in essential … [Read more...]

How many primal/paleo folks have you "met" online? Potentially hundreds if not thousands. What about in real life? Face to face? I went to Primal Con in 2011. I met Mark Sisson and dozens of other primal enthusiasts. I was amazed at how many people kind of knew who I was because of this blog. Simply being with people who live this lifestyle is what made Primal Con very special. Everything else was a bonus. I've also met a couple dozen other folks through Primal meetups. The one in … [Read more...]

Sadly, it's not. Let me tell you a short story... As I was flipping through the Sunday newspaper ads from the Grand Rapids Press this bright yellow and orange paper caught my eye. In big letters is "WhoNu?" and underneath that it says "nutrition rich cookies." Beneath this are 3 highlighted benefits of … [Read more...]

This blog post has been inspired by one of my favorite writers, Nina Yau. She writes on her blog Castles in the Air. Check it out. I went ahead and "stole" 7 truisms that she laid out in this blog post of hers. On that blog post you will find a total of 241 truisms. Dozens are incredibly inspiring. What you see in bold is a truism that Nina Yau came up with on her own. I went ahead and wrote my thoughts underneath as it applies to living a primal lifestyle. I'd love to here your thoughts … [Read more...]

Ads like the following make me ill... Increase the size of your omelet. Not your waistline. You might need a bigger pan, but definitely not bigger pants. Our all natural egg whites combined with vitamins and minerals have just 1/2 the calories of shell eggs. Egg beaters. The real thing. Only better. UNBEATABLE.
