we are now eating paleo

May 5, 2012

jenny and i have been eating paleo for a little over a month now. to be honest i always found it slightly annoying when someone would talk about being paleo – mostly because i didn’t know what it meant and i equated it to someone boasting about being vegan or vegetarian. like gfy already.

i have no food allergies and i have been blessed with an iron stomach. i can pretty much eat a pile of hot garbage and feel fine. also, i don’t have weight problems. so the idea of changing my diet wasn’t all that appealing since i didn’t feel it was going to make any impact. well when the topic of paleo originally came up i thought of jason glaspey – a talented dude from portland, oregon that parted ways with urban airship to pursue his passion for paleo. jenny and i looked up his website called paleo plan and decided to buy the get started guide. after reading this document i can honestly say my diet will never be the same.

Paleo Plan

so wtf is paleo? i’ll refer to wikipedia for this since i don’t want to try to explain it in my own words:

The paleolithic diet (abbreviated paleo diet or paleodiet), also popularly referred to as the caveman diet, Stone Age diet and hunter-gatherer diet, is a modern nutritional plan based on the presumed ancient diet of wild plants and animals that various hominid species habitually consumed during the Paleolithic era—a period of about 2.5 million years duration that ended around 10,000 years ago with the development of agriculture. In common usage, such terms as the “Paleolithic diet” also refer to the actual ancestral human diet.

essentially – no sugar, no dairy and no wheat. this handy chart below provided by fit bomb shows how the food pyramid should be.

Paleo

over the last month jenny and i have found that changing to this diet is actually fairly easy but we do spend a lot of time in the kitchen. we are pretty strict with it throughout the week but we do give ourselves 1 free day or cheat day each week. this usually is where i take advantage of drinking beer and eating copious amounts of tortilla chips (which is what i miss the most). i used to eat a lot of candy like M&M’s and now i no longer crave them. even on my cheat days i stay away from sugar.

one thing that really has helped us out is getting a vitamix blender. we fucking blend all sorts of shit. it’s awesome. not a cheap machine but worth every penny if you use it a lot.

Vitamix

so despite this blog post i am not going to be on a high horse about how superior my eating habits are. but i will end with this – if you are tired of feeling like shit or looking to lose weight and have more energy etc. then you should give this a try. now that i am aware of how bad certain food groups are for us i will never go back. i have been stuffing my face with red meat and vegetables this last month and i am at 9% body fat and i feel like a warrior. we have been taught a lie in school about how we should eat. the food pyramid is a total load of horse ass. not a shocker that america is a fat country.

look into it and consider trying paleo. your body with thank you.

travel with strangers for free

May 4, 2012

Miss Travel

that is if your sexy… this website connects rich dudes who travel a lot with young gold diggers looking to travel for free. so if i am a millionaire that is awkward as a mother fucker and can’t seem to keep a girlfriend all i have to do is pay for one to be my arm candy on my trips.

seems like a really bad idea for these girls. at least professional escorts know the game and the signs – these chicks are going to hop on a plane and end up in some remote area of the world with a total doucher who expects them to get freak nasty.

as you can imagine, the profiles are all women who are showing off their goods.

Miss Travel

pay for me to go to spain and i will let you do your worst… yowza! god bless the internet. working hard at workarounds. i mean it’s not prostitution if it’s handled in public right?
