Paleo Cinnabon!!! That’s What Tears it For Me
When a few early Paleo enthusiasts stopped being enthusiastic, I laughed and dismissed them. When a few of those, and others, wrote posts of divorce, I laughed and dismissed all of them again. See, I’d written several posts prior—seeing what the low-carb Junk-Food “Revolution” Atkins had become—about what I eroneously took to be tantamount to……...

Saturated Fat & Cholesterol Worries are so 2009
I love evolution, but particularly in thinking. It’s not an issue of right vs. wrong but a process hallmarked by honesty. Evolution happens in large swaths of time, such that discrete changes at any point in time are hard to identify short of outright re-evolution. Then one day, you realize that everything has changed.

Russell Brand and Jeremy Paxman: Oh Myyy!
I must have received 2 dozen emails yesterday or day before making sure I saw this interview of Russell Brand by Newsnight’s Jeremy Paxman. Let me make this quick: Not Impressed; What a Mess.

Resistant Starch Ingestion Has No Effect on Ketosis But Blood Glucose Blunting Effects are Highest in A Normal Diet
For my next installment on Resistant Starch, the following post documents an N=2 (two study subjects) collaboration to record blood glucose readings in different states of dieting, with and without RS. The following was assembled by regular commenter Marie (a real life scientist in her day job) and 'Tatertot Tim', the guy who brought RS to Free the Animal months ago and has probably read more of the studies going back 30 years than anyone currently living on the planet.
~~~
After reading the information you posted from Tim and yourself on resistant starch, I wanted to verify personally whether my father could take it so that he could get the immunological and gut-healing effects of RS, while staying in ketosis. He is on a severe ketogenic diet for cancer and must remain continually in ketosis.
At that point, Tim and I started to collaborate, looking at a second possibility raised by the literature, that of “blunting” of the Blood Glucose (BG) rise by resistant starch when taken together or before a high-glycemic food. A large (300 gram or 2/3 pound) cooked potato is a good test for this blunting effect, as it normally gives a large rise in BG when eaten without any added resistant starch.
These slides of graphical comparisons tell our story.
1. For tolerance of ketosis to RS/PS, the results are unequivocal. There is NO rise in BG when taking PS alone or with a ketogenic meal. Ketostix also confirm that ketosis is not disturbed.

Get Over the “Paleo Pizza” Habit and Just Make a Really Good Fucking Pizza For a Special Occasion
I’m totally guilty. I completely fell head over heals for the “paleo Pizza” craze years back. First, it was cauliflower crust and then, meat as “crust” or, “meatza.” Thing is, I haven’t made either in years. Why? Pain in the ass for the former and for the latter, just make a meatloaf.

Frenched Pork Chops With Resistant Starch Mashed Potatoes and Gravy
What a difference a day makes. I still might not blog much over the next week, but at any rate, got interested in this during a trip to the market yesterday and so made it so.
Thick, Bone in Pork Chops with a Nice Cut
Other Side
If you don't do them Sous Vide, then I like a cast iron skillet, on high always, lard as cooking fat. Brown very well on one side (about 3 minutes, flip and then cover to get at the inside).

Alright, Now I Have to Work Out a Proper Paleoish Shit on a Shingle
This is my increasingly common first meal of the day, nowadays—10am-1pm, typically, in terms of timing (i.e., when I actually get hungry). Sorry, I just hardly ever eat bacon, anymore. Tastes like I'm eating a block of salt, to me. But, Go paleo!!!; bacon, the exclusive favorite food of the brand.
Pretty Simple
If you prep them properly, beans can be quite amazing. After a 24-36 hour soak, drain, rinse; and then, where I plop the beans into the pot: sprinkle them with garlic powder to lightly cover, then desiccated onion flakes to lightly cover, then salt & pepper, and cover them in beef stock (or, chicken, if that's all you have). I bring them to a boil, reduce to low and cover (I don't want to add any water). It's usually an hour or two, and you have glorious tender beans in a thick sauce. After the obligatory tasting and seasoning adjustments, into the fridge they go for a day, in order to form retrograde resistant starch. I often eat them cold or, just a 20-second nuking.
