My Primal Year
This blog is being revived! Once a record of my culinary school adventures, it followed me through the transition from disillusioned student to frustrated restaurant cook to experimental home cook. Now it will document my year-long experiment to embrace a primal/paleo diet and lifestyle.
What’s a paleo diet / lifestyle? Watch this:
I’m not really one for fad diets, though I’ll admit to trying a few. This one doesn’t seem like a fad; it’s a return to the diet that allowed us to evolve and advance into intellectual beings. It just makes sense to me to eat a natural diet, of things that grow, live, and die as we do, and that exist naturally in nature.
I’ve dabbled in Paleo eating for the last two years, having success when I stick with it, but having trouble sticking with it for longer than a few months. I recently read “The Year of Living Biblically” by A.J. Jacobs, and got the idea to start my own year-long experiment. With some advance thought and planning, and monthly goals, I hope to make paleo living a lifestyle rather than an adventure in deprivation.
The fun begins January 1!
