I am doing this for health reasons and to find a diet compatible with my body that is also easy to execute. Since [...]

The FDA isn’t content raiding vitamin supplement companies and preventing churches from [...]

He wrote about studies of weight loss diets in conjunction with injections of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) that showed it worked no [...]

Another blog linked to my Switching from Raw Vegan Diet to the Paleolithic Diet post, so I went there to see who it was and thank them. I came across the following comment, which referred to that post, and I was taken aback. I was hurt by this person’s comment, because it was like I [...]

The paleolithic diet is the diet our ancestors ate prior to the agricultural revolution that occurred roughly 10,000 years ago. Our species hunted and ate plants the land produced naturally. I came across a great video that shows how simple and sensible the paleo diet is. Enjoy!
