Eat Paleo

Yes u'll love it. I started out by diving straight in 2 months ago and after the first 2 weeks, I knew this is NOT a diet, this is how we are SUPPOSED to eat. On top of that, I've learned how to cook bomb ass stuff, save money and time. And the best thing is, I can eat egg yolks and bacon!!

Yes here is a few blogs I've bookmarked: http://stevepaleo.blogspot.com/ http://eatmovethrive.blogspot.com/ http://cavemanfood.blogspot.com/ http://www.marksdailyapple.com/category/recipes/ (a lot of good easy stuff) http://www.sonofgrok.com/category/recipes/

I don't really have a favorite recipes since I don't remember what I eat. I usually just look at what meat and ingredients I have then google a recipe. Lately I've been into curry "rice" with grilled salmon, or chicken or whatever (http://stevepaleo.blogspot.com/2009/05/paleo-tandoori-chicken-wcurry-rice.html). Bacon and eggs, or frittata are always good for breakfast, I sometimes even have it for dinner. Sometimes, I just throw some meat, vegetables, spices, coconut milk or whatever into a crock pot when I wake up in the morning, then just leave it and go on with my day, 5-6 hours later, I'd have some foods good enough for several meals.

I also stock up on spices, herbs, olive oil, butter, and all different ingredients.

So Randy mentions yesterday that he's not getting enough calcium because dairy is not paleo.  To ease his worry, this is the list of calcium content from vegetables: http://carrotcafe.com/f/calevel.html

Turns out that vegetables is superior source of calcium to dairy.  For ex, one cup of boiled spinach has 240 mg of calcium.  So listen to your grandma and eat your veggies.

WhFoods.com:
"When it comes to building strong bones, broccoli's got it all for less. One cup of cooked broccoli contains 74 mg of calcium, plus 123 mg of vitamin C, which significantly improves calcium's absorption; all this for a total of only 44 calories. "

"Helping You Bone Up

The vitamin K provided by spinach-almost 200% of the Daily Value in one cup of fresh spinach leaves and over 1000% of the Daily Value in one cup of boiled spinach (which contains about 6 times as much spinach)-is important for maintaining bone health. Vitamin K1 helps prevent excessive activation of osteoclasts, the cells that break down bone. Additionally, friendly bacteria in our intestines convert vitamin K1 into vitamin K2, which activates osteocalcin, the major non-collagen protein in bone. Osteocalcin anchors calcium molecules inside of the bone. Spinach is also an excellent source of other bone-building nutrients including calcium and magnesium."
