What is better food, better health?

Am I a paleo blogger? No. Do I believe health starts with nutrition? Absolutely. If you're looking for a manifesto on clean eating and arguments in favor of a paleo lifestyle, you won't find it here. Check out The Whole9. In fact even if you're not looking for something radical check that site out anyway. It's a great starting point. It's got links and articles and a whole bunch of science - data - about nutrition and how our bodies use macronutrients. I'm not a licensed expert but I listen to experts who back up their claims with real compelling data. And I've tried a few different things to "eat healthier" over the years - Weight Watchers, Zone, starvation (that was a brilliant one) to name a few. Nothing has been better for me and yielded better results than eating low glycemic with a paleo foundation (it's actually similar to Zone too, but with less precision). I have a busy schedule, a two year old, a husband, a full time job, I work out and I have a closet for a kitchen. I figure there must be a few people out there who can relate to some of that. I used to think eating healthy and making time for regular meaningful exercise was "hard." It really just takes some guidance, awareness, and enthusiasm. So here's a start - here's what I cook and eat (and sometimes what I read).

Omelette Without A Stove

I post this in preparation for the coming work week and in keeping with the "setting yourself up for success" line of thought. If you're like me you need to get to work early but don't feel like eating breakfast the moment you get up (and don't want to get up extra early to sit around at home when you could still be sleeping). Sometimes it's easy to use that as justification to eat something horribly yummy for breakfast like a muffin (which is just a cupcake without frosting). And a person can only eat so many hard boiled eggs. Not everyone has a microwave at work. But a lot of us do.

Ingredients:
Eggs or egg beaters
Whatever you want in your omelette

Supplies:
Bowl or coffee mug
Microwave

In your bowl or mug crack open your eggs. If you're making more than one egg I don't suggest using the mug. Add your other ingredients. Be creative. Your leftovers from the dinner the night before are useful. Microwave for 1 minute - if you like your eggs more "done" add 15 seconds at a time.

Add some fruit and this is a very well balanced breakfast!
