Saturated Fat and Coronary Heart Disease, Part III: Cognitive Dissonance
"Die wahrheit triumphiert nie, ihre gegner sterben nur aus." — Max Planck (Truth never triumphs, its opponents just die out.) In Part II of this series I wrote that this installment would be about the "best research" those supporting the saturated fat-cholesterol-heart disease link or "causal chain" might use (here’s Part I). In the process……...

Naked Feet
Well I don’t know about the GW overtones or global Kumbaya, but otherwise a good message. I go barefoot as often as possible, even out in public — such as last night to the hotel room and back to the in-laws this morning. Coming up on 24 straight hours of barefoot…. Click below to gain…...

Sous-Vide Supreme Maiden Voyage: Chicken
It might strike you as odd that with all the various beef and other fancy dishes I do — putting such care into my sauces and such — that after laying down $400 for a kitchen appliance I would choose chicken breasts as the first dish. How often do I do chicken of any kind?……...

Just some quick Sunday morning Food Porn. Tri-Tip & Kohlrabi Mash I did the roast low & slow in the oven at 225, up to an internal temp of 125. Then a couple minutes per side under the broiler with butter rubbed on the outside. The sauce was 1 1/2 quarts of store bought beef……...

Wanna Metal?
I’m up at the cabin in Arnold, CA, where Bea & I met my parents late yesterday afternoon after the easiest Friday afternoon drive out of the Bay Area I’ve had in years. Get this: usually it takes nearly 3:30 to get up here with rush traffic and I made it in 2:40. My dad……...

Saturated Fat and Coronary Heart Disease, Part II: The Paleo Principle
In Part I of this series I introduced you to Professor Rod Jackson, who has quite a strong view of the dangers of saturated fat from animal sources in the human diet. This series of posts is intended to examine his claims and, yes, ultimately call them into serious question if not discredit. In this……...

Primal Chicken Pot Pie with Cauliflower Crust
The other day I happened to hit Kat’s place, and then her blog, where I saw that she did a chicken pot pie, although she used standard pastry. I was thinking how much I always loved pot pies, and wouldn’t it be great to make one. Then it dawned on me: cauliflower crust, just like……...

Jeezus, already. It was over a week ago that I reported to you that Dr. T. Colin Campbell, author of best-selling The China Study was participating in a low-carb discussion forum.

Bavette, Bone Stock Reduction & Sweet Potato Fries
Thanks to Mark Sisson for alerting me to this cheap but, oh so kind cut of beef. The bavette (flap steak). Funny. I just wasted like 10 minutes trying to find it on his blog to link to it before I realized it was in his Insider newsletter. But I wasted no time in securing……...

Grassfed Burgers with Cheddar Cheese on a Paleo Bun
Well, based on comments here, I decided to give another try at baking. This time it was to try and make some hamburger buns. Hamburger Buns I did about 2/3:1/3 of almond meal to coconut flour. Still too dense & heavy. But, still pleasing to eat with a nice thick, juicy grassfed gourmet burger. Juicy……...

Alternate Day Fasting, Weight Loss, and Food
