Everyday Paleo
I borrowed Everyday Paleo by Sarah Fragoso, a book of paleo recipes, from the library a few weeks ago; and I liked so many of them that I just had to purchase a book of my own. The recipes include pictures, and there aren’t any weird ingredients or difficult cooking methods that take hours. The author also shares her journey to a paleo lifestyle and why she made the decision to eat that way and how she introduced her family to the foods. If you aren’t familiar with the paleo lifestyle, it’s just eating good healthy foods instead of eating processed foods.

Drew Manning of www.fit2fat2fit.com has gained over 70 excess pounds in 6 months on purpose in order to demonstrate to others how easy it is to gain weight if you change your lifestyle and start eating junk food and not exercising. He then plans to demonstrate how to get fit again by eating healthy and working out. Drew is a personal trainer and has always been fit throughout his life, so this sudden change in lifestyle was really difficult for him and he has documented it in his blog step by step.

Scale
I’ve been reading Diet Doctor and his theory about why Americans are fat. It’s a 5 part series and it’s the best explanation I’ve found as to why Americans are fat. I’ve tried explaining the problem of sugar and starch in the body to my friends, but this site explains it so much better than I ever could.
{All digestible carbohydrates are broken down to simple sugars in the intestines. The sugar is absorbed into the blood, raising the blood glucose. This increases the production of the hormone insulin. And insulin is our fat storing hormone.
