The Halloween costumes are packed away, the candy wrappers are cleaned up and out of site, and the holiday season is officially in full effect.

“Food is a drug, eat responsibly” ‘Food is a drug, eat responsibly’. The end. Well, at least I wish it was that easy. The reality is it’s just the beginning. We are entering a time where we are now questioning the how’s, when’s, why’s, what’s about food. We are knee deep in a time where […]

At the top, there’s Cobb Salad

The other day, I ate lunch at Gap Inc. headquarters in San Francisco. It happens to be on the top floor, and it's beautiful. I was surprised to see their cafeteria serve grass-fed beef and poultry as well as EVERYTHING being organic. I default to the Cobb Salad, because in most cafeterias it's the one […]

Paleo Fried Shrimp…It’s legit!

Way before I began the Paleo Journey, I've always been a fan of Fried Shrimp. I know, not the healthiest of foods, right? As I was looking for something to prepare, I know I wanted shrimp, but I wasn't in the mood for Coconut Shrimp tonight. Instead I wanted Fried Shrimp. Is it possible to […]

GOT RICE???

Ritu Riyat, MPH — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 00:12:50 +0000

As long as I could remember, white rice has always been a staple that accompanied all main courses… that was until Crossfit came around. In order to perform better, I knew I had to eat better. Adios white rice, hello brown rice. Right? Wrong. Although rice is gluten free, it's not the carbohydrate that Paleo […]

This here is a picture of a gem in the rough. This past weekend, we ordered Indian food from Tandoori-N-Curry in Milpitas for the first time. We discovered that they'll cook up a lean, succulent Tandoori chicken breast (and wing) for only $4! If you're in need of some lean protein and don't have time, […]
