We are thrilled to welcome Badier Velji - otherwise known as The Lazy Caveman - as our newest Whole9 Envoy Extraordinaire. Badier has been a leader within our community for some time now, spreading the Good Food Word at his home gym (Whole9 Nutrition PartnerCrossFit Palo Alto) and through his blog. Badier was hand-picked for this position due to his significant contributions to the Whole9 community, enthusiastic participation in (and success with!) our Whole30 program, his embodiment … [Read more...]
The Dish on Paleo Comfort Foods
Today, we’re featuring a fun interview with Charles and Julie Mayfield, authors of the gorgeous new cookbook, Paleo Comfort Foods. We asked them some serious (and not so serious) questions about comfort food, cooking, and why their cookbook is the perfect addition to your kitchen. We’ll let C & J’s thoughtful, intelligent and cheeky answers speak for themselves. For those of us not from the south, what are “comfort foods?” J: My perspective is actually quite different than … [Read more...]
The Science of Practical Application
If you haven’t already noticed, blog topics in the Paleo community tend to trend in waves. The current trend, following discussions held at the recent Ancestral Health Symposium (AHS), can be summed up in two words: It’s Complicated. First, Mat Lalonde’s AHS presentation, in part, urged the educators in our community to get the science straight. To ensure our credibility, Lalonde says, we must acknowledge that things are complicated, and that context matters. The summary: Take care not to … [Read more...]
Steal This Snack: SeaSnax (Strangely Addictive)
NOTE: Whole9 has zero vested interest in SeaSnax, or the sale of SeaSnax products. We are not financially affiliated with SeaSnax in any way, shape or form. We just like scoring good deals on stuff we like for our readers. Today's post began in Honolulu, HI, when Melissa picked up a package of SeaSnax at the local Whole Foods. The package promised they would be "strangely addictive", and after Melissa plowed through three snack-packs in as many days, she realized the product actually lived up … [Read more...]
What’s in YOUR cooler?
We've UPDATED our famous "pack a cooler" article just for July Whole30 participants gearing up for their summer vacation plans. The post originated last summer, when Dallas and I spent three months (and drove 15,000 miles) across the US and Canada, while completing the Whole30. We faced plenty of challenges staying Whole30-compliant while on the road - the same challenges our readers face when life requires lots of travel, socializing or just a a super-hectic schedule. So today, we've … [Read more...]
TV is Dessert For Your Brain (And Not Everday Food)
When we first launched our Kill Your TV program, we were excited to see how it would affect those who participated. We’ve been TV-free for several years, and our first months after ditching the tube were, to say the least, eye-opening. We had, like, SO MUCH TIME. To read. To exercise. To cook. To sleep (better). To connect with people we love. To live. But not everyone loves the idea of giving up their favorite shows, even for 30 (short) days. So we got a lot of comments like, “But I watch … [Read more...]
Kill Your TV: The Rules
Last week, we introduced you to our newest 30 day initiative: Kill Your TV. The premise is simple - unplug from the pseudo-reality that is your television screen, take back those hours mindlessly devoted to spectatorship, and become a participant in your own life. The program runs from Sunday, May 1st through Tuesday, May 31st, but we're putting up the guidelines now so folks can get prepared, get their families on board and spread the "tune out" word. Kill Your TV: The … [Read more...]
Whole9’s Guide to Nutritional Off-Roading
A few months ago, we heard a fascinating question from a workshop attendee. Well, to be honest, the question itself wasn't fascinating, but our answer (or lack thereof) we found mighty interesting. The question posed to us was this: "If you were going to "cheat" and make a bad food choice, is it better to choose something that's less bad?" We Don't Do "Less Bad" This idea of "less bad" is a common theme at our events; folks hear us present our views on "optimal nutrition" all day long, and … [Read more...]
Good Food for the Conflicted Eater: A Whole9 Virtual Event
We are happy to report that last week's virtual workshop test run was a smashing success. Participants liked the virtual environment, the easy-to-use interface and the shorter, more specialized event format. Which means we are now ready to roll out a series of virtual events designed to address some of the more specialized topics that we can't always cover during our Foundations of Nutrition workshops. Due to the large number of questions we get from our non-meat-eating readers (and … [Read more...]
Virtual Workshops, Revisited
Remember our Virtual Workshops? We held a trial event back in February 2010, with the intention of holding a whole lot more. But after our first event, we realized the technology just wasn't up to speed, and we didn't think that particular online venue was good enough to support the degree of interactivity we deliver at our in-person events. After much research and trial runs, we think we may have found just the technology we've been looking for... but we can't be sure, until we give it a … [Read more...]
