Paleo Magazine: 6 Reasons You Should Take A “Play-cation”

May 24, 2014
I’m excited to share that my first article was published in Paleo Magazine this month! This post is a bit of an expanded review of my trip to Nicaragua through YOGASCAPES, which I also wrote about in my post called 10 Things I Learned About Health In Nicaragua. Unlike my blog post, this article focuses on the benefits of using your vacation time to incorporate play into your life. I always do this on my vacations, and my trip to Nicaragua was no exception. I hope to continue traveling in ...

Salted Caramel Coconut Chips – Paleo, Gluten Free, AIP friendly

May 24, 2014
Crunchy, caramely, lightly sweet, and with a touch of salty sea salt, these bits of goodness are perfect on their own, as a paleo "cereal", or, as I plan to use them this weekend, on a bowl of grassfed ice cream!I got the idea for these from a package of Dang coconut chips, which comes in a "salted caramel" flavor. When they first arrived at my local health food store they were offered at a steep discount, and I bought them like they were going out of style. When ...

Guest Post by Michelle Fitzpatrick – Part 1: What Not To Feed Your Kids

May 24, 2014
Michelle Fitzpatrick, author of the Happy Paleo Kids blog, has worked with special needs children and their families for over 13 years to promote development and mental health. She adopted a “Paleo Diet” to lose weight after baby number 3, and quickly saw that the benefits of eating nutrient-rich, plant-and-animal-based foods would benefit her entire family. After applying the Paleo Philosophy to her family, she felt compelled to find a way to bring the science behind how food impacts child development to the masses. Follow her blog, ...

Snow-Airbrushing, the Endless Cavalcade of Snow Days, and a Stomach Bug that Wouldn’t Quit

May 23, 2014
Greetings, fellow captives of Winter 2014.If you live anywhere in the mid-Atlantic all the way down through Florida, you are all too aware of the...*ahem*...variant weather patterns we are experiencing this season. Since the start of 2014, our county has had exactly one intact week of school - by which I mean one week without cancellations due to snow, ice, extreme cold, and so on.I'd love to direct you to the pictures on the right - of travel-sized spray bottles filled with food-coloring-tinted water."Oh!" ...

Slow Cooker Chipotle Barbacoa Brisket

May 23, 2014
Everyone loves Chipotle, meaning the eatery and the smoked jalapeño peppers. After my last trip to the eatery I found myself thinking, “why don’t I just whip up 10x more of this meat for the same price at home?” So then I went and did just that. This is an easy recipe to make, and I provide my own chipotle adobo sauce recipe to use with it, or you could just buy that not-perfectly-clean can of chipotles in adobo if you’re willing to go...

Blurred lines: teaching kids healthy without compromising their self esteem.

May 23, 2014
I have 6 girls and one boy. Most of them are teenagers. I know. Prayers accepted Because we are a family centered around our health and fitness, we have had some questions about how we walk that line between teaching our kids to eat right and exercise without them getting a complex. I hate this conversation. I don’t do political correctness well, as it is my personality to just call things as I see them. I do, however, respect the position of parents who want to protect the very fragile...

“I’m Rubber, You’re Glue…

May 23, 2014
whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you.”  Ah – one of the classic sayings of childhood.  Let’s see – do you remember the ever so popular, “liar, liar, pants on fire”?  Given the opportunity I would have triple dog dared someone at the past political debates to stand up and exclaim that very phrase!  Wouldn’t that have been a moment to go down in history – sort of like Rudolph the Red Nosed reindeer?  Okay, okay, so I digress a little bit.  Here’s another classic ...

Overcoming “I know I should, but…”

May 23, 2014
How often do you hear those five little words: “I know I should, but…”? It’s a different issue for everyone, but most of us have at least one thing we should be doing, but for whatever reason, we just can’t make it happen. For example, say there’s an imaginary Paleo...

Calorie Intake and Body Fatness on Unrestricted High-fat vs. High-carbohydrate Diets

May 22, 2014
In recent posts, we've explored the association between calorie intake and the US obesity epidemic, and the reasons why this association almost certainly represents a cause-and-effect relationship.  I also reviewed the evidence suggesting that carbohydrate and fat are equally fattening in humans, calorie for calorie. One valid objection that came up in the comments is that calorie-controlled diets in a research setting may not reflect what happens in real life.  For example, in a context where calorie intake isn't tightly controlled, diet composition can impact ...

Beating Fatigue with Circadian Rhythms

May 22, 2014
Is getting out of bed in the morning a groggy struggle against the urge to just lie down and conk out for another hour or five? Or do you notice an energy crash midafternoon, only to find yourself unable to fall asleep when bedtime finally comes? If that sounds familiar,...

My Experience: One Year of HIIT

May 21, 2014
Last year I was kicked out of physical therapy, which was my primary form of exercise at the time, because well...I got better. Before that I did Crossfit, I don't know if that was part of me being in physical therapy though. I just had chronic neck and shoulder pain. The physical therapy, consisting primarily of gentle upper body and core exercises, was fairly effective for that. I was disappointed though that it didn't seem to do much for my posture.

Experts say marketing of junk food to children must be restricted

May 21, 2014
Louise Baur, Professor of the Discipline of Paediatrics & Child Health at the University of Sydney and Consultant Paediatrician at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead, says that parents are struggling to be heard over the bombardment of marketing aimed at their children. From the article: "Every week, in my weight management clinics at the hospital, I see parents who are trying their very hardest to look after the health of their kids" says Professor Baur. "By now, everyone has heard the alarming childhood obesity statistics. Parents are...

If I could ask everyone to give up just ONE thing….(you may be surprised)

May 21, 2014
As I was standing next to my doctor (my boss) smiling as he spoke to our patient, a newly diagnosed diabetic, about changing her lifestyle to eliminate soda, wheat, sugar, and eventually all grains, I found myself pretty proud of how far he’d come since I started there 2 years ago. Our patients are being taught real food healing and they are getting better. It seems so simple. Just give up a couple things, replace them with better things, and you’ll get better. Then I noticed she was glazing ...

Cumin Dusted Strip Steaks with Salsa Verde Butter – Low Carb

May 21, 2014
I love steak.  A lot.  In fact, the entire “Hungry” family loves steak.  Even our son, Hungry Jr. has been knawing on sides of beef since he had his first teeth.   Our kitty Peach?  Also a fan. With all of that steak love going on in our house, you’d think I’d be posting steak recipes weekly.  I realized though The post Cumin Dusted Strip Steaks with Salsa Verde Butter – Low Carb appeared first on I Breathe...
