Simply put,  Zoleo is the Paleo diet plus the Zone diet, minus all the crap that makes them hard. We live in a society where diet is primarily associated with weight loss and depriving oneself of food in order to achieve some airbrushed body seen in a magazine. Gone are the days when “diet” referred only to the food we ate to nourish ourselves.  Nutritionize believes that in order to achieve optimal fitness, health, and longevity we have to start by living it, therefore Zoleo is not a “diet” it truly is a “lifestyle”. Zoleo combines the key principles twoContinue Reading >>

The other day, I ate lunch at Gap Inc. headquarters in San Francisco. It happens to be on the top floor, and it’s beautiful. I was surprised to see their cafeteria serve grass-fed beef and poultry as well as EVERYTHING being organic. I default to the Cobb Salad, because in most cafeterias it’s the one dish that you’ll find with that’s gluten-free (minus the croutons), high in protein, no lectins, and actually fills you up!

When you’re on Paleo, you have to make it a habit to vary your meals, otherwise you are going to get bored w/ this lifestyle rather quickly. Luckily for us, there are so many recipes that already exist, and many, many more that have yet to be discovered. It was one of those nights where we didn’t have anything planned for dinner…until we looked at the ingredients we already had.

I was chatting with Clay one day and he told me that he has been doing great at getting his daily dose of fruits and veggies, how? Through juicing! I have to say I am quite impressed with how far Clay has come along in revamping his nutrition lifestyle. The first time I ever did a consult with him, he squirmed at the thought of eating broccoli and now it’s a part of his juicing concoctions along with spinach, ginger, carrots, and more! Congrats Clay! Juicing is a great way to get some vital nutrients into your nutrition plan, howeverContinue Reading >>

Way before I began the Paleo Journey, I’ve always been a fan of Fried Shrimp. I know, not the healthiest of foods, right? As I was looking for something to prepare, I know I wanted shrimp, but I wasn’t in the mood for Coconut Shrimp tonight. Instead I wanted Fried Shrimp. Is it possible to still make this healthier and Paleo? Of course you can! Luckily, I had some Almond Meal and Coconut Flour, and the rest was history. Delicious, filling, and quick. Give it up for… Almond Meal Shrimp Ingredients: – 1 pound of shrimp – 2 cage freeContinue Reading >>
