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…

My Final Thoughts on the HCG Diet, 2.5 Weeks After
This is a hard post to write, because I wanted the HCG Diet to work. I believed in it, I followed the rules to a T, and it did work. But 2 1/2 weeks later the pounds have snuck back on, and all the sudden I’m not as slim as I was and I’m back…
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…
Around the Fitness Horn: Science!
Science is an imperfect science, no? You read a million different studies proving a million different things, and how do you decide what resonates with you and your body? Experimentation, mostly. Below, some science read and resonated recently: TONS of abstracts and summaries on why gluten is bad for people: The Case Against Gluten: Medical Journal…
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…
Around the Fitness Horn: Vanessa Hudgens CrossFits!
Vanessa Hudgens does a pretty sweet kettlebell workout AND works out CrossFit style. If that ain’t mainstream (hello High School Musical), I don’t know what is. Are You Elite? Elite: On the floor after a workout flopping around like he is having a seizure. Not Elite: Still wearing a shirt. Elite: Training at a gym…

HCG Diet Day 26 (Day 1 Strict Primal): All the Food I Ate
I had a lovely time eating today. I don’t expect to be this food-obsessed in the future, but it was nice to play with how much fat and food I could eat. I did get MUCH fuller MUCH faster, so I didn’t eat THAT much. Breakfast (10am): leftover kebab meat and spinach cooked in raw…
Book Review: The Paleo Solution
I just finished reading The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet by Robb Wolf. As I expected, it’s quite good as an excellent primer to paleo. When I first started eating paleo, I saw a lot of the “success stories” and understood that eating paleo is generally healthy, but no one could ever explain to…
