“Kiss” Calories in, Calories goodbye – it simple can’t explain the complex issue of weight gain (see “Your Trainer May be Making You Fat”).

Came across this fun and informative Paleo Diet article posted on Nerd Fitness. I had to have the “fat is not bad” conversation with LA yesterday as she…
The Paleo Diet and Dubai Elevators? Robb comments that Melissa’s elevator pitch would need to be in a very tall building, like a [skyscraper] in Dubai. It may be a little long because she does do a very good job of explaining what one would eat when following The Paleo Diet.
I awoke this morning surprised to find an article on The Paleo Diet in my small hometown Sunday newspaper.
Refined carbs, not dietary fat contribute to overall greater metabolic damage (elevated blood pressure, Obesity, Type II Diabetes, blood fat disorders, etc).
