Adapted from and inspired by Mark Sisson at Mark’s Daily Apple. My wife will tell you straight-up that one of my favorite foods is a sweet potato. I carry one to work nearly daily as part of a primal lunch. In Mark’s words, “Quick! What’s a suitable, Primal source of post-workout carbohydrates?” Primal enthusiast will tell you without batting an eye, “yams and sweet potatoes”. If, for whatever reason, you need some extra carbs “sweet potatoes and yams” are the answer.

Primal -the Grok plate
The topic is LUNCH! My personal favorite is what I like to call the Grok plate. Mark Sisson’s Primal Blueprint focuses on protein. Keeping the carbs as low as possible for accelerated weight-loss. I have talked about eating meat and my personal caloric breakdowns in previous fitness rants. Being Primal is 80% food and 10% [...]

P90X Round 2 day 10
The weekend is here and day 10 is complete. Eating clean is no longer just a “habit” but a natural way of eating. The Primal Blueprint has been a huge boost for my weight loss plan and it helped finally break through my three week plateau. The P90X hybrid is coming along nicely. I completed [...]
Eating Meat!
I found this over at Primal Toad. The guy is pretty young but he is dead on with his view on food. Hopefully he does not mind me borrowing his views and a lot of his words. If you live a primal lifestyle then you love to eat animals. Nothing beats a thick fatty steak [...]
Primal Blueprint
Day 3 of following Mark Sisson’s Primal Blueprint is done. It is way early in the challenge but the nutrition change-up is really working. After a weight plateau of a couple of weeks, I dropped two pounds in three days. Eating like Grok is easy. Purge the pantry, up the protein and lower the carbs. [...]
