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).

Bacon Onion Green Beans

Ingredients:
12-16 oz fresh green beans
2 slices organic bacon, chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped

Supplies:
Medium sauté pan with cover

Serves: 4

Wash and trim green beans. Heat chopped onion and chopped bacon over medium high heat until sizzling, turn heat down to medium. Add green beans, stir and cover. Cook until beans are tender but still crisp when bitten, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.

I mean, who doesn't love bacon?
