It’s time for another installment of our testimonial series. A few months ago, we reached out to you guys to tell YOUR Paleo success story. We received more feedback that I ever expected, and it has been so fun reading each and every journey.

The Paleo Diet and your Thyroid
Here’s an alarming fact: Thyroid disorder is an increasingly common chronic health condition, especially among young women.
The thyroid can either become over or underactive, both of which can pose health problems. Medical therapies—such as oral hormonal therapy—is used to increase or decrease the activity of the gland, to attempt and keep the hormone levels in an optimal level. While there are no current dietary therapies that can remedy thyroid hormone imbalance, the paleo diet has been touted by many to aid in decreasing the inflammation that is thought to contribute to thyroid dysfunction.

Is This The Worst Paleo Article Ever?
This week, Playboy published an article called Screw The Paleo Diet: Here's To Evolved Eating. The article has caused uproar in the paleo community and has been dubbed "The worst article I've ever read on paleo" by the paleo Reddit community.
The article starts out by explaining that the paleo diet often appeals to men because it's apparently more socially acceptable to boast about ripping meat off a bone than it is to suggest that you count calories. While the article alludes to a valid concern - that it's less socially acceptable for men to be concerned with health and weight loss than it is for women -, the article ...

Paleo Fantasy
Despite thousands of people having great real-life success stories, people can't see the forest for the trees, and get hung up on the basic terminology of the word "paleo". In fact, one lady was so incensed that she chose to write a whole book on it.
At UPG, we're not tied to the fact that cavemen ate exactly what we have on our food list. That said, we think it's funny that thousands and thousands of people have real life evidence (themselves!) of actual health improvements, and that people continue to get stuck on nailing down the exact dietary habits of cavemen.
Whatever Grok ate 20,000 years ago, you can be dang sure that it was way ...

Basic Beef Stew
Few meals say “comfort food” like beef stew. And if you skip the potatoes, and serve with a side salad of mixed greens, you’ll have a great meal that doesn’t pack on the pounds, while still giving you that belly full of comfort that feels so good especially in the chilly fall and winter months. This is a bare bones basic version of beef stew, so feel free to experiment with other vegetables such as green beans (my favorite addition), broccoli, cauliflower, or (gasp) potatoes.

Caveman Coffee Cereal
Wait a minute! Cereal is NOT paleo (or primal or caveman or whateveryouwannacallit). But this "cereal" has no grains. I'm talking no Corn Flakes, no Wheaties, and no Rice Puffs. What it does contain though is a hell of a lot of nuts, and it's not something I would recommend as your regular first meal of the day. But for the occasional indulgence and flashback to that bowl of happiness you used to pour as a kid before sitting down to watch Saturday morning cartoons, there are worse options.
