I love paleo eating; there's no confusion about whole grain, whole wheat, refined flour, etc. No grains equals no confusion! Here's a great article from the Globe and Mail which speaks to the whole grain controversy. What does whole grain or whole wheat ACTUALLY mean in terms of what you're eating? Do you try to eat whole grains instead of refined? How do you go about doing that?

Fitting in exercise can be a chore for most people. You have a busy day, many things to do; where do you fit in exercise? Here are 5 tips for fitting a workout into a busy day: Get up an hour earlier in the day and get your workout in before you start your regular day While you're on the phone, sneak in some squats and lunges Walking to work? Add some ankle or wrist weights to increase the intensity. On your lunch break, enlist some co-workers (to make you more accountable) and get out for a group walk or jog. Get up every 15 minutes and do one exercise, two sets of 15 (eg squats, lunges, push ups, crunches). By the end of the day you will have fit in your whole workout! I hope this helps you find the time to exercise, even it's just for a few minutes every day. What do you do right now to squeeze in exercise?

I was making pizza for the kids party today, and some had dietary restrictions- no wheat; yay! I was already planning on having something else, but now I had an excuse to try out a new Paleo Pizza recipe. I have stocked up on almond flour, coconut flour, flaxmeal and coconut milk now that I'm doing 90% paleo eating. I found this great recipe for paleo pizza here: http://cynthiaunderground.tumblr.com/post/16727829023/the-best-paleo-pizza-crust-is-here It was a hit! The kids that tried it ate it all up, and wanted more! That never happens. It's a sure fire repeat on the paleo pizza. Thanks for the recipe cynthia underground!
