The Ultimate Guide To Standing Desks
In 2011 the New York Times published an article called Is Sitting a Lethal Activity? The article focuses on research conducted by James Levine of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
Much of Levine’s research looks at why some people gain weight and others don’t.

They were also asked not to change their exercise habits during this time (1)
What Levine and his team found was that even though participants were consuming the same ...

Jack Osbourne Eats Paleo To Battle His Multiple Sclerosis
Jack Osbourne, the son of Sharon Osbourne, has told the Dr Oz Show that he follows a strict paleo diet to reduce the effects of his multiple sclerosis.

Jack turned to the paleo diet in an attempt to stop his body from deteriorating.
Diet is a big thing. I am a firm believer in you are what ...

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

Paleo Experts On Staying Paleo While Eating Out
We asked our resident paleo experts for their tips on staying paleo when eating out. Here's what they said.
From Justin Miller - Resident Nutrition Coach
Tell the server you're on a special diet (gluten-free, no lactose, no peanuts, no soy, etc.) and ask how the food is prepared or if you're able to ask the chef yourself. Be nice about it.
If you eat out with friends, be the one to suggest where you go. Most people are so passive: "I don't know. Whatever you want. Whatever is good with me." Pick a place that you know fits your goals/diet.
Go super plain if you have to. You can essentially hold almost everything in a ...
