The Only Macronutrient You Don’t Need
Did you know that, out of the three big macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins), there is one that is completely nonessential? It’s true.

Paleo YouTube Videos
I’ve got three pretty awesome, or at least wierd, YouTube videos concerning the Paleo diet.
This a trailer for “The Paleo Diet.” I really found the part around 1:10 hilarious: “It was created by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. IT’S MYTHOLOGY!”
Now here’s a great video explaining why the Paleolithic diet makes sense. […]

Kielbasa, Green Peppers, and Onions
BAM! This meal has flavor, and it’s quite simple too. I usually just fry up some green peppers and onions before throwing in the the kielbasa. Add some crushed red pepper or chili pepper if you like it spicy.

Salmon & Fried Zucchini
Here we have salmon again and one of my other favorites, zucchini. If you have a garden or are considering gardening, give zucchini a try.
