I spent the past few days in all day meetings and am now reaping the benefits of poor eating, caffeine overdose, dehydration, lack of sleep and no exercise… I look like crap and am coughing up my lungs… lovely. I found myself eating for no reason other than that food was available and accessible. I was loading up on coffee, eating the chocolate kisses and Oreo cookies, and even found myself opening a can of Dr. Pepper that's where I drew the line, what the heck am I doing?! I realized that even though I knew better, I was fallingContinue Reading >>

This here is a picture of a gem in the rough. This past weekend, we ordered Indian food from Tandoori-N-Curry in Milpitas for the first time. We discovered that they’ll cook up a lean, succulent Tandoori chicken breast (and wing) for only $4! If you’re in need of some lean protein and don’t have time, this is an awesome alternative. Their vegetable dishes are high quality as well. If this place is far from you, check if your local indian restaruants will give you “Chicken Tikka” without the sauce. Here’s what I ate yesterday: Breakfast: Two slices of turkey breast,Continue Reading >>

Here’s what you will be seeing next in the fast food industry. I had the opportunity to visit Tim Dymmel over at Crossfit Palo Alto yesterday. He has a pretty cool box going on and offered me some great pointers on pull ups and front squats; my arch nemesis’s when it comes to crossfit movements. After the wod I spent some time chatting with him and I asked him a bit about his Nutrition Lifestyle. I can quote him on this “Proper Nutrition is what keeps me running throughout the day because I don’t get much sleep and amContinue Reading >>

These little guys are not Paleo but they ARE egg, gluten, nut, and dairy free which makes them a nice cheat cupcake especially if you are highly allergic. I tried out the red velvet ones a few weeks ago and surprisingly they were not too bad. It certainly was not a cupcake from Sprinkles BUT a nice alternative if you want to your feed your craving without killing your digestive track. What makes them even better is they are home baked out of MILPITAS! The executive pastry chef Amanda Macdessi founded this allergy friendly patisserie after her husband was diagnosedContinue Reading >>
