I have a long, most excellent if slightly effusive post on how much I love Stronger Faster Healthier over on thisislifeinaustin. Basically, the company is LEGIT from its people to its formulation to its final products to its endorsers. Its affiliate program is selective, and few discount codes are out there. But I’ve GOT ONE!…

Friday Night Pizza
The scene: Friday night Me: I don’t know if this crust is going to work, but I’m going to try it. That Ripped Guy of Mine(TM): Didn’t you perfect it with that crispy crust recipe? Me: Yeah, but that was with nuts and flax. Now I want to mix in veggies so it’s not as…
Paleo Pizza: Can’t Stop Won’t Stop
Seriously, I love this stuff too much. The sad news is that it’s got too much nuts in it for me to love, so my next goal is to optimize the use of cauliflower. I did it!! A crispy crust with cauliflower? I am awesome. What do you call cauliflower faux flour? CauliFLOUR? That only…
Overnight Fauxoats
I’ve mentioned my favorite non-crossfitting, non-paleo-eating friend before, and here she is with another gem! On a recent evening at my parents’ house drinking a glass of wine, she shared with us the secret to her recent weight loss: overnight oats. She, and her other friends and “everyone she tells about overnight oats” credit this…
Water shots
At a friend’s birthday party last week, there were tequila shots. And rather than not take tequila shots with the crew, they ordered me a water shot. I salted up my hand, grabbed a lime, and cheered with the rest of the gaggle of girls. Turns out, salt + water = seawater. Word to the…
Last day of the HCG diet!
Today, my friends, is Day 46 of the HCG diet, day 21 of phase 3, the primal hypothalamus-resetting stage. Wahoo! What will you eat tomorrow, Lyssa? I don’t know, anonymous blog reader asking the question. I am trying to decide. What do I miss this most? I honestly don’t miss much. I miss wine the…
Let’s Eat More Pizza (Primal Recipe)
This is the pizza that made me have to do the HCG diet steak day. I ate too much, but if you have better self-control than me you should most definitely eat this: This is the best pizza I have ever made. I said that last time too, but this one is better. Also, for the…
HCG “Steak Day” Update and a Bam! Workout
On the HCG diet, if you gain 2 or more pounds from the weight you ended the HCG drops at, you have to do a Steak Day, where you eat nothing all day until dinner when you have the largest steak possible and an apple. After bingeing two nights ago on the most amazing flax…
Recipe Genius! Brussels Sprouts Chips!
I can’t remember where I read that someone else had done this, but brussels sprouts chips are the BEST idea in chips since … kale? I never can make kale chips just right, they’re always too soft or burned. But these brussels sprouts chips came out damn near perfect (some were a little burned). Here’s…
Airports
As it turns out, I spend a lot of time in them, though not usually quite as much as I have trying to get out of Aspen in a blizzard or back into Aspen during a really windy day… where I end up driving with a family of four from New York from Denver to…
