I’m doing it. I’ve debated a lot about “telling” the blog. Because even though I’m doing the homeopathic HCG diet, it’s still a very controversial extremely low-calorie one. The even more controversial one uses injections of a pregnancy hormone. A trusted advisor suggested I do this homeopathic version of the HCG diet, and I’m nothing…

Ask for what you want
I’m in the airport at a restaurant I actually really like: Denver Chophouse. they offer buffalo burgers and brew their own beer, what else do I need? I wanted a salad and the burg, so I said to the waiter: “I have a weird request.” he interrupts me: “we get weird requests all the time,…
(Paleo) Recipe: Cuban Ahi Tuna
That Ripped Guy of Mine(TM) and I make a lot of ahi tuna. Drizzle with lime and garlic salt, throw it on a hot cast iron skillet, and it’s done in 4 minutes. The other night we didn’t want that, though. Too boring. So I foodily’d up a recipe for Cuban Ahi Tuna. What?! Here’s…

Recipe: Cabbage Soup
This is the best cabbage soup ever. Not that I’ve had a lot of cabbage soup. But it is LEGIT!! It has lots of dairy, so if you are a non-dairy Paleo, you can stop reading. As usual, I started somewhere with someone else’s recipe and modified it like crazy for what I have in…
Around the Fitness Horn: FOOD

Will post it when it’s written. In the meantime, check out these: The Road to Digestive Health Continues (More things that might be…
Tamale Tamale Tamale
I tweeted a lot about these babies, and external sources have confirmed: TAMALES ARE AWESOME!! Particularly these tamales. That I made. These are my 3 flavors. I was inspired to make tamales thanks to a new ridiculously awesome Austin blog called HilahCooking.com. Check it out. These are the video instructions I followed (I used vegetable…
Not Exactly Paleo Pumpkin Brownies
But delicious! I freaking love pumpkin, so I’m always playing with recipes. I also love baking, and I LOVE baking in the winter, when it’s cold outside and you can snuggle inside eating pumpkin-chocolate combo things. But this is NOT Paleo, sugar is never paleo, but this makes it HEALTHIER than before, though still not…
Healthy (Paleo?) Pumpkin Spice Lattes
My favorite thing about winter? I think it’s pumpkin. Particularly Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Now before you getting all “Starbucks has a billion calories in it” on me, here is a super-duper easy way to make dairy-free Pumpkin Spice Latte … and if you consider whey protein relatively Paleo (many do not), then you can even…
Intermittent Fasting or (gasp!) Not Eating Breakfast
Like many CrossFitters, I intermittent fast fairly frequently. Most mornings, I fast. Call it intermittent fasting, the 8-hour diet, whatever. For me, it’s what feels natural. Stop eating at 9pm the night before, fast until 1pm the following day (these hours aren’t set in stone). I’ve never liked breakfast foods, so I don’t miss that, and…
