shooting for Boston…not sure on the date. I suspect Austin will happen not too long after that. The cookies should be good to go, unless they are doing site maintenance.

Speaking of Paleo Brands… When is the next seminar and when can I purchase the Almond Paleo Cookie online? I’m very excited that this was started up!!

Just a suggestion, but I think you should have the next seminar in TX.

there was a lot going on behind the scenes with this post but you are obviously right on. The product line Sears offers is dubious at best. To my knowledge Paleo Brands is the first attempt at bringing legitimate, high quality foods to the masses.

“Back to the Barry Sears seminar, Dr. Sears, the developer of the Zone…DOES NOT RECOMMEND WEIGHING AND MEASURING. HE RECOMMENDS FOOD QUALITY FIRST.”

I do agree that Dr. Sears recommends food quality in his book. However, it bothers me that his product ingredients are not the same quality ingredients he recommends. His energy bars fit the 40/30/30 nutrient breakdown but they consist of soy protein and corn syrup! I don’t think we can label him as “paleo” because of this. If you do it’s the same as saying that Atkins is “paleo”. The Atkins plan also recommends food quality first while keeping carbs low but if you look at their product ingredients they are the same as Sear’s products. The only difference is that the Atkins products are low carb instead of 40/30/30.

Thanks for the answer. I have signed up for your Nov. 7th class at CrossFit Marina in Huntington Beach (my wifes hometown). I eat grassfed when i can and am looking forward to the day when all my families meat can be grassfed. Keep up the good work. thanks, david

that’s pretty much how I eat but I tend to have grassfed meat when Im at home. On the road it’s impossible. The change in feeding DOES dramatically change the fatty acid profile of the meat. If I had my way I’d only eat GF meat and butter, this completely changes not only the saturated fat content but a host of other considerations including n-3/n-6. I honestly think the closer we can keep that fatty acid profile looking like that of wild game the better off we are.

Saturated fat means to me: Fatty steaks such as Ribeye, butter, cheese (occasionally), coconut or almond milk, skins on the chicken.

Sample weeks meal plan for “Paleo Plus”.
Monday – Friday: Breakfast = Lactose Free Muscle Milk protein shake (6 ice cubes, vanilla almond milk or coconut milk, two scoops of protein powder, maybe a banana, then blend on the “magic bullet” and 4 strips of bacon. Lunch = Ribeye steak or other meat and maybe some broccoli with melted butter. Dinner (within 1 hour after CrossFit workout) = Another steak or some kind of meat (hamburger, turkey, chicken), maybe a vegetable, Another muscle milk shake, lots of fruit (banana, strawberries, cherries, tangerine, other berries)

That is basically how me and my family eat every day. Weekends are usually the same unless we go out of town, then i order whatever i want and do not eat the bread. I might have a cheat day once a month or so. Cheat day might consist of movie popcorn or a bun on a triple in and out burger.

David-
Check out my posts on paleo vs weston price. I’m not sure i get the distinction of paleo plus as saturated fat has been a part of our ancestral diet for eons. In my previous post I state my case that I think there are normal operating parameters for saturated fat…high insulin can change how our bodies react to sat’d fat. Give me a sample week’s meal plan so we have something concrete to talk about here.
