How To Start Cooking Paleo Today

December 21, 2014 By Justin Miller Leave a Comment

When conducting a coaching session, one of the first questions I ask people is, "what are you struggling with most when it comes to developing healthy eating habits?" Here are the answers I hear most often: I don’t know how to cook. I don’t have time to prepare meals. I don’t know what to make. Well, I’ve got some good and some bad news for you, my friends.

The Best Chipotle Paleo Hack – The Double Meat & Guac Bowl

August 10, 2014 By Joel Runyon 6 Comments

I love Chipotle. I really do. It's actually sort of a problem. I used to do the burritos. I slowly graduated to the burrito bowl to make my Chipotle habit "less bad." However, for the last six months, I've been using my favorite Chipotle hack to make Chipotle more paleo-friendly, to get more food, and to pay less. Here's What I Do I walk up to the bar. "What can I get you?" "I want two sides of steak (or other choice of meat) in a bowl." "That's it?" "Yes, and I'd like guac." "Guac is extra." "I know. That's okay." What they end up doing is scooping two sides of steak into a bowl. What most friendly Chipotle members ...
