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 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…
ACL: Eating Guide
Eating with me is a challenge, I will freely admit. I want free-range happy meat, chicken, milk, and eggs. I don’t want white bread, I probably don’t want whole wheat bread, I definitely don’t want corn (unless it’s a tortilla chip) or beans or soy. I don’t want fake sugar, or agave, or real sugar…
Paleo Cookies Recipe
Last weekend, one of my dearest friends (non-paleo, non-crossfitting) texted me asking for a paleo cookie recipe. What?! I was super excited. She said that she was baking for her mother-in-law, who eats mostly paleo for health reasons … yes! I sent her the following email: Here is my all-time fave paleo chocolate chip cookie…
Eggplant sweet potato lasagna
I had an eggplant sweet potato lasagna at a restaurant and thought to myself, “why didn’t I think of that?” But I promptly forgot about it, until I read a recipe for it in a magazine. I tore out the page, magneted it to my refrigerator, and then didn’t follow it at all. Y’all already…
Effing Gluten and Sugar
We ALL know not to eat that junk, right? I’m pretty good about it–particularly the gluten, less so the sugar. But yesterday was my birthday. And That Ripped Guy of Mine(TM) was going to make me an almond flour cake but ran out of time, so after a sunset picnic atop Aspen Mountain (awwwwww!), he…
Primal-ish Scones
How awesome does this look? A cup of coffee and a scone. Almost Paleo, almost Primal, definitely delish! I adapted the recipe so far away from its original that I will reprint it here. It is based on the recipe in Elana’s Gluten Free Almond Flour Cookbook … You Need: 1/4 cup grassfed butter, melted…
My silly baking: paleo pumpkin chocolate chip cookies
I really enjoy baking. I also really enjoy eating Paleo (no processed food, no grains, no dairy, no sugar), and the two are not very compatible. So I constantly quest to bake as Paleo-ish as possible. I have more failures (well, what’s a failure, really? I’ll eat it, but I wouldn’t feed it to friends)…
