I was talking to a friend on Skype today and he mentioned he’d recently bought Coconut Butter and that it was seriously delicious. I always thought coconut butter was something you slathered on your body in the tropics! (Well, not me personally as I burn just thinking about the word tropics! Plus, bugs eat me alive! Sigh…) Anyway, apparently…

IBS, Constipation, Diarrhea, Gas and Bloating on a Paleo Diet
Written on August 10, 2011 by Andrea Wilson in Digestion, Grain-Free, Gluten-Free, Low-Carb, Paleo Information
Digestion is a complex subject, but self-experimentation can often prove very effective when the medical community is handing you drugs and not solutions. Yes, many people just want a drug that will resolve all their digestive issues, with 100% effectiveness and no nasty side effects. The problem is… that drug hasn’t been invented! But here’s…

How to Determine Your Daily Protein Requirements
Take your weight, e.g., 134 lbs. Take your height, e.g., 5’5″ Plug these two numbers into a Body Mass Index (BMI) calculator. BMI = % of your total body weight that is composed of fat. Write down your BMI, e.g., 22.3% (0.223). Multiply your BMI times your total weight (e.g., 0.223 x 134 = 29.88)….

Chia Seeds: Power Food or Just Another Cheap Food for the Masses?
Once we started to leave our Hunter-Gatherer ways to become Agrarian, we had to find a local staple food that could cheaply feed much larger populations than our small family groups. In some places it was a grain like wheat, rye or millet, in other places it was a seed like chia or quinoa, and in…

All Canned Sardines Are Not Created Equal!
It pays to try several (many?) brands of sardines before deciding that you don’t like them or that you are “just okay” with them. Really good sardines from Morocco, for instance, taste so much like tuna that you’d be hard-pressed to tell the difference in a taste test. The brand I buy in Canada is…

You Are What You Eat!
Thinking is such fun… You are mainly made up of water, protein (meat) and fat. I could eat you and survive quite nicely. You are zero parts grain, seed, nut, vegetable or fruit. Therefore, you are more like yourself when you eat meat. Trust me, if we’re in a plane crash in the remote wilderness…

What to Do with Leftover Lamb Roast…
I bought a small boneless lamb shoulder roast the other day. Roasted it to 150F internally, still nice and rare, but yummy crispy skin! I had it hot, then cold for a couple of days. Yesterday I pureed some of the leftover lamb roast (including the fat, of course!) in my Kempo Juicer. Wow, did…

Missing Grains While Transitioning to a Paleo Diet? Try Quinoa!
Quinoa is a seed, therefore, it can be eaten on a grain-free, gluten-free diet. Quinoa is a complete protein and contains healthy amounts of several minerals. While it is technically gluten-free, the protein in quinoa can still cause digestive upsets in susceptible people. Also, quinoa is high in fibre… and as I’ve mentioned before, fibre…

Why and How to Make Bone Broth
Ask your butcher for beef feet (grass-fed, if possible) or beef soup bones, lamb necks (yummy!), chicken or turkey carcasses, chicken feet (yes, you read me right!), fish heads, etc. Add bones/carcass/fish heads to a large soup pot, cover with water to about one inch above the contents, add a splash (1-2 T) of apple…
