Does anybody do paleo stuff?

I can't eat a lot of nuts, it pisses off my stomach and skin. I eat a LOT of spinach and fruit.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Checking in again... baking muffins and about to watch all the Nikita I can until I lose power/internet. Nora, you got power?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Does anybody do paleo stuff?

My friend A. took her whole family to a Paleo diet after they found that her husband and kids were gluten intolerant. Started a blog about it. Says she feels better than she ever has. Realistically, low-carb is probably as close as I will ever get to paleo, myself. It's too much work.

Since we're on the subject of food, this is an interesting post on the incredible variation in how we absorb energy from food:

Consuela, that's a great article.

I am also having a text argument/discussion with new neighbor P about geeky tv. He didn't like Serenity, and I think the last few seasons of BSG were largely crap. Good times.

You tell him to SHUT UP and Mal will kick his ass, even if I basically agree with him.

Liese, here's a blog post by an athletic woman who is trying the Paleo diet: [link]

She really likes it, although I know there are questions about the, um, philosophical/anthropological underpinnings of the theory. Still, more vegetables and less processed carbs sounds like a great deal to me.

In fact, I just started making dinner, which will be pancetta with sauteed kale and scrambled eggs. But I will probably have some TJs macarons for dessert...

Green olives have almost no net carbs, so they make a great snack food on a low carb diet.
