  • http://www.carnivoreandvegetarian.com/2011/09/crispy-pork-belly-gordon-ramsay-style.html If you google pork belly gordon ramsey, you will get a bunch of videos too. I love him so enjoyed watching the video! I make a pulled pork in my slow cooker. Throw a nice fatty pork shoulder in the cooker with some orange halves, slat,…
  • I second, third and fourth everything the others said. I will add that Before June of last year I had a 19 year addiction to diet coke (thanks mom). I couldn't imagine going a day without it. I found seltzer water to be my saving grace for that. I could buy it in a can, sip it all day, it's nice a fizzy, totally flexible…
  • I admittedly have to force down sardines, they are do-able when I put them in a salad with lots of vinegar, or mash them up with avocado. I found tinned mackerel much more palatable, actually quite enjoyable! I buy Cole's Mackerel in Piri Piri sauce. The fried sardines in Well Fed 2 is super delicious (I use my mackerel)…
  • Almond milk, nut milk (as you said), bp tea or coffee, coconut milk, bone broth with gelatin, gelatin anything, uuuum, hubs fruit smoothies, but I don't eat them so.....
  • Nothing!!!!! Yes, that's right, nothing!!!! i multi-task cooking everyday, be it bone broths, kombucha, water kefir, soups, roasts, veggies and ground meats for the week, packing up bulk orders of meat for the freezer, packing up marinated and finished dishes for the freezer etc. I took today off!! I love all the yumminess…
  • Oh yeah and....I love the new "Super Greens" pack that you can get in the lettuce sections these days. they have baby greens of nutrient packed power houses like, kale, spinach, chard, tat-soi etc. My fave lunch is mackerel or chicken over super greens with Raw Apple Cider Vinegar (also a powerhouse, I take 1 table spoon a…
  • I use himalayan salt as my daily salt, it has trace minerals such as potassium and magnesium. For fun salts I love Alder smoked salt and hawaiian red salt. I keep kosher and sea salt around for my ferments. As for supplements I take daily: Fermented Cod Liver oil/Butter oil from Green Pastures -my skin is better and my…
  • Mayo is such a finicky beast. I have never had luck with it with my immersion blender and mason jar, and it's not for lack of trying!!! I love that folks get it to work and would love for it to work for me but for now, I am happy with my 3 minute song boogie session whilst I drip drip drip :) As far as lemon juice? Hubs…
  • From looking at this recipe, this is how I would do it: Create a recipe for the gravy and the cauliflower. After you have cooked your meal, take your portion of each item. Enter the chicken separately as in, chicken breast @____oz or thighs @_____oz. Then divide your recipe by how many servings you will get, if you took…
  • If eating meat is bad then I don't want to be good!
  • I have really enjoyed both coconut and pecan butter from Artisana. I do love cashew butter, you can find it in little single serving packets in some grocery stores so you could try it. I think it tastes better than the actual nut. Anywho, can't think of any other types off the top of my head.
  • Tonight is the final night of my Feb Whole30 so will weigh and measure tomorrow (nervous excitement). I have officially decided that I am going to continue with no booze and no sugar. I thought I may have one night next weekend where I have some wine but that is still up in the air and I think that's the boozer side of me…
  • My diary is open, feel free to have a gander. I don't do crossfit but I do HIIT and tabata style workouts, sim to crossfit. I workout pretty regularly. I honestly don't remember what my macros are right now but carbs are the lowest, I think 20-25, then protein 20-25, then fat 50-60. I have been doing Whole30 this last…
  • Tell me about it!! You should see what goes on in my veggie drawers when it's farmer's market and garden season. I try to stay as seasonal as possible, buying most of my items from surrounding farmers. Luckily this year, one of my favorite farms grew tomatoes, cukes, and basil in greenhouses so I got them all winter! I do…
  • Give yourself some time, your body is adjusting to your new way of eating and you are probably feeling fuller because you've got more real food in your system that your body has to work harder to digest. Absolutely animal fats are a great way to get more calories in, bacon grease and butter are delicious for cooking your…
  • I have tried it with walnut oil and olive oil mix and enjoyed it but it seemed suited for more specific items. Truffle oil sounds great but I believe it was a bit strong, that stuff goes a long way!! My combo was an attempt to get the most generic and store bought -like mayo possible so my hibs would eat it and not insist…
  • Is it mushy and soft like fat or hard and taught? I know the belly is usually very stubborn and the last bit to go. I am no expert but it seems to me that if it is squishy then it's simply stubborn fat, but if it's taught then perhaps it could be something else, like what the other posters mentioned. Maybe try switching up…
  • WAAAAH!!! There is a 6 person long hold queue for this at the library and even more for the ebook! I have gone waaay over my book budget already and simply cant buy it right now. Oh well, I will catch up with you all soon enough!
  • Why would they do that?!? This recipe has a slightly sweet flavor from the coconut oil. I started out making it with all olive then, all avocado, I even tried all coconut. This blend is my favorite but its definitely worth playing around with to find the flavor you like :)
  • I actually use avocado oil specifically for high heat cooking because it has a very high smoke point. It has little to no flavor so i love it for recipes where I would have (waaay in the past) used a vegetable oil. I will also use coconut oil but feel it does impart a bit of a sweet taste which I don't mind but the hubs…
  • Bodyrock Real Time HIIT Challenge -45 min HIIT + 45 min kickboxing + 25 minute dog walk at 3.5 MPH = 1000 cals burned!! BOOM, that's how we do!!!
  • WAPF allows for traditionally prepared grains, legumes, soy, and dairy. Paleo folks typically do not eat these things, traditionally prepared or not. I personally follow an 80/20 primal and WAPF. When I eat grains and legumes I either soak, sour, or sprout them following the methods used in Nourishing Traditions. I do…
  • I am totally down but need to ponder what I will be giving up for it. I logically know sugar and booze are the ideal candidates so probably one of those. I have really felt amazing this past month not having either so maybe both. I'll get back to ya :)
  • Love Turbo Fire! It definitely is fun and you get such a great workout :)
  • Did Bodyrock Real Time 30 Day challenge Day 3 - 45 minutes of HIIT work. Hurting some from pushing it yesterday but feeling energized. I may be crazy but I swear I see a difference overnight from this new HIIT challenge. Want to see if I can sustain a high calorie burn workout at couple times a week!
  • they are drinks made from probiotic cultures. You can find them commercially at Whole Foods or higher end health food stores. If you ever come across them, give 'em a try, sooooo good!
  • I prefer to get my probiotics through food. i drink homemade kombucha and water kefir daily as well as eat a multitude of homemade fermented vegetables. When not Whole30ing, I eat homemade raw milk yogurt as well. I don't know that I see a huge change on a daily basis, I have been consuming these items for a number of…
  • I was so excited when I bought Body Revolution and so disappointed when doing it :( I tried, really, really tried, but I got soooo bored doing the same stuff over and over. Especially the cardio was boring. So, I don't blame you for looking elsewhere! Thanks for mentioning the Zuzka/ZWOW on youtube, always looking for more…
  • New 30 day challenge. Each day is 45 minutes. 60 moves at 30 seconds each with 10 seconds skipping rope, high knees, some sort of movement in between each set. I am challenging myself to reach 1000 calories burned today so I did Day 1 and 2 plus 20 minutes stretching for a total of 828 calories burned. Taking a break and…
