My name is Col, I am an artist, married, with two sons. I love food, am a fan of all the food groups. But taking the time to construct a meal is not high on my priority list, also vaguely... unappealing. Therefore, it has been a long time practice to purchase mainly pre-packaged food on the bi-weekly shopping trips.
I am overweight. Surprise! not. at. all.
I was also pretty clueless once about insulin-spiking sugars in wheat flour.
Did you know that two slices of whole wheat bread (yes, whole grain bread with all that fiber) cause a bigger and faster blood sugar spike (glycemic index 72) than a spoonful of table sugar (glycemic index 59)? - from EatNakedNow.com
Wheat now worse than sugar? Brutal!
Have you ever visited a grocery store and tried to find prepackaged foods that do not contain wheat? Try it. I guarantee it will freak you out. I'm still freaked. And suspicious to tell truth. Why is wheat in everything? Why is there wheat in ice-cream?
?
?!
Fearing the sweet poisons will kill me sooner than hoped, and after a dollop and dash of research, it became clear that I would have to eat more "real" food, unprocessed, sugar-free, zero pre-packaged (unless the label said gluten free/wheat free and preferably used unrefined sugars). Both Primal and Paleo lifestyles fit the prescription. But EGADS! I was so out of touch with real food and the kitchen is definitely not where I want to live.
So . . . what can you expect from this site? Some references and resources on Primal and Paleo topics? Sure.
Hasty, half-baked and/or sketchy kitchen escapades and recipes? Definitely.
