A few blog posts I've been enjoying...

Winter weather means lot's of indoor reading and after eating BBQ Pork last night I really enjoyed this post about Healthy Pork Lard from blogger Memphis Que this morning.

My new Paleo pal Kristy DeVaney of CakeGrrl.com has been tempting the Facebook group Sacramento: Beyond the Paleo with photos of delicious delights such as Deviled Avocado Eggs with cumin and curry and Roasted Tomatoes with oregano, garlic, basil and olive oil!

I'll be trying this recipe for Macadamia Oil Mayo from the Food Blog who posted it to Jimmy Moore's Facebook wall..... yummy!

I'm just running out of my store bought mayo and salad dressings and will be whipping up my own recipes this week so I'll let you know how it goes!

Where have you been finding inspiration and recipes? Leave a comment and let me know :)

Sexy, Sexy, Science!

In January 2011 I wrote how I would stop dieting and only eat what I crave. But what nagged at me was that I felt that I didn't understand how my body worked, why I was still fat after eating all the "right" stuff, exercising a lot and my Dr's check-ups proved I was perfectly healthy!

Gary Taubes

I am so happy to have read Gary Taubes' book Why We Get Fat and watched Tom Naughton's movie Fat Head.

I learned how and why my body has been acting the way it has, why I've been told the wrong information my whole life (except when I was on Atkins in the '90s) and how to eat for my optimal health!

I can't say what is right for anyone else but if you like reading and thinking I recommend Gary's book and if you're more of a visual person give Tom's movie a whirl on Netflix streaming.
