Slim Is Simple

This video popped into my email a few weeks ago as one of my Google Alerts on Paleo - yes that's one thing that this girl does to try to keep up with all things Paleo that go on on the interwebs! I clicked the link to the video, and saw it was 12 minutes long and wasn't sure I would make it though, I had a bit of skepticism before hitting play since the general feel of the American population is that everyone wants to lose weight quickly with a magic pill that requires little to no effort … [Read more...]

Nuts

One of the things that I started eating that I used to avoid in my pre-Paleo days is nuts.  I used to eat reduced fat peanut-butter (and peanuts aren't nuts!) but would steer clear of almonds, cashews, walnuts etc because of their fat content.  Shifting my thoughts around what is healthy and what makes me feel good now that I'm Paleo, nuts are pretty much a daily part of my diet.
