Recently the mainstream media have published a flurry of articles which would seem to suggest that the mainstream media is finally starting to pay attention to the health epidemic that's taking hold of the U.S. and the rest of the world.
The most recent example is a TIME cover story about The War on Fat and how it's failed miserably, made us even sicker, and traded heart disease for diabetes. It's the most scathing report of SAD (the Standard American Diet) that we've seen in the mainstream media of late.
While the article doesn't explicitly mention the paleo diet, its arguments are pretty in line with everything we talk about here ...

Dr. Oz Is Grilled By Congress, Admits He Pushes Bogus Supplements, And No One Is Surprised
"Bust your body fat"
"#1 miracle to burn fat"
"The #1 fat-fighting pill"
If you've ever paid attention to the Dr. Oz show (we hope for your sake that you haven't), you've probably seen these phrases thrown around like the word "hello."
You might have purchased his stuff, laughed at it, been intrigued, or just been skeptical about it. And if you're skeptical about him constantly finding "miracle cures" at 4pm on a Wednesday, your suspicions are well-founded.
Dr. Oz's karma is catching up with him.
After 800+ shows touting the benefits of pseudo-supplements with little to no scientific backing, Congress has called Dr. Oz in ...

5 Lessons I Learned At Paleo f(x) 2014
I spent last weekend at Paleo f(x) - the largest gathering of paleo(sos) anywhere in the world - in one of my favorite cities in the world - Austin, Texas.
Paleo f(x) was a 3-day blur of some of the brightest minds in paleo, sharing brand new paleo research, training, recipes, and products throughout the conference space.
Here Are 5 Things I Learned at Paleo f(x) in 2014
1) Paleo Is Growing
I was at Paleo f(x) in 2012 (the very first one!) and it was just starting to grow.
The panels were small and the "expo" consisted of about seven or eight booths. There weren't that many people either. Either Robb or Mark quipped that all of the ...

What Is MovNat?
What is MovNat?
Eating healthy food is just one aspect of healthy living. The true paleo lifestyle includes a number of other things: getting enough sleep, doing plenty of exercise, and drinking lots of water.
Just as it can be difficult to work out which diet works best for you, there are plenty of exercise options to choose from. We've already discussed CrossFit as a fairly paleo way of working out, and in this article we consider another form of exercise which focuses on natural movement, MovNat.

The Paleo Guide To Fast Food
I want to start this post with a disclaimer:
On the whole, fast food is not paleo.
That said, sometimes there are no other options. You're dragged to your local takeaway by a friend or you find yourself stuck between places on your way to work. The best way to stay paleo is to plan ahead and to be prepared but there are times when life happens and you just have to deal with it. When that happens, follow our advice to make sure you pick the best options.
Note that these meals should not be everyday meals. We've got tons of recipes to help you get started on your journey. Cooking for yourself is almost always healthier than buying food ...

Assess, Don’t Guess: Serving Sizes, Fat loss, And Performance
One questions we’ve been getting a lot over here at the Ultimate Paleo Guide is this:

How To Eat Out & Be Sociable While Eating Paleo
Making any big lifestyle change can be tough, and eating paleo when no one else in your circle of friends does is no exception.
Your friends don't always understand, they might make jokes, and it can be tough to hang out with them while they're all going out, partying, having nights out, or going to their favorite restaurants.
Sometimes it feels like your only option is to sit at home and eat chicken and broccoli.
But don't worry - there's good news. You don't have to give up your social life or be the "weirdo" who's trying to be a caveman.
You can be paleo and sociable at the same time. Here's how.
Know Your Foods

How To Eat Paleo on The Road
How To Eat Paleo On The Road
How do you eat paleo on the road?
Sure, paleo can be easy if you're at home all the time, but what about when you're traveling?
If you're a road warrior, on vacation, or simply going on a cross-country road trip with friends, it can be tough to eat paleo on the road. You don't always have easy access to a grill, and you can't always plan your meals in advance. It can be tough to eat healthy and stay paleo.
But have no fear! You can still eat paleo on the road. Here's how.
Do you find yourself asking, "is it paleo?" often? Check out our app: Paleo.io - the ultimate "Is It Paleo?" app
