And now back to regularly scheduled programming – here is the third episode of the Paleolithic Solution. We went a little over our target time this week, but if you can make it to the end you will hear the recipe for the legendary NorCal Margarita (aka Better Drinking Through Chemistry).

Mark, odds are if you aren’t frequenting a bar located next door to a CF box, the bartenders aren’t going to know what a NorCal Margarita are.
I just give the bartenders the recipe, and they’re more than happy to make it for me
Hey Robb.
Great Podcast as usual. I know you briefly addressed the issue of menstrual cycles. I have some questions about that. I have been CrossFitting intensely for about a year now. I have played around with many approaches to my diet. Right now I am at 11 blocks protein, 40+ blocks of fat, and 3-4 blocks carbs. Recently I have switched over mostly paleo (and I love it!) except for 1.5 cups of raw goats milk after WODs. I am considering going unweighted and unmeasured thanks to all the positive stories/info I am hearing on your site. I am 5′1″ and 128lbs. My goal is to qualify and go to the 2010 games, and that is what I am training for.
Back to the menstrual cycle stuff… Mine can be patchy at times. Like maybe once every 2-3 months. Do you think switching to an unweighted unmeasured approach would help? Sometimes I worry that my food intake is a bit to minimal for the efforts I put out on WODs. However, back when I ate much freely (in my powerlifting days before getting into CrossFit) I still was patchy at time. And I had a much higher body fat percentage. Could it be hormone imbalance or some other disorder? Would biosignautre give me any insight into this. I am lucky and live by Scott Hagnas in Portland, OR. I know he does biosignature.
Rob, please touch on milk vs goats milk. I eat paleo with the exception of 1/4 cup goats milk in my coffee. and a bite of dark chocolate after dinner.Does that little bit really make a difference.

I second that Kevin! I’d be interested in hearing a bit about goats milk vs. cows milk.
Robb & Andy,
Outstanding job on the Podcast. Can’t get enough and I’m encouraging everyone I know who is interested in their health to listen.
As far as length – 35 – 45 minutes seems to be the magic number. I listen to at least a dozen different podcasts and once you get closer to the 1 hour range you tend to start losing listeners. Of course us fanatics could listen all day, but it’s those that are debating whether this lifestyle is for them are the ones who’s attention you want to hold.
Regarding eating too much of a good thing (eg eggs & broccoli) – boy did that hit home. I eat upwards of 25 eggs a week and 1 large serving of broccoli a day. Guess I need to change some things up. The broccoli shouldn’t be too much of a problem but hard boiled eggs for breakfast are so damn convenient. Why does eating healthy have to be so damn hard & time consuming?
Keep up the great work!
I have been enjoying the podcasts. Just finished #3. For me, the length of the podcast doesn’t matter. One hour is not too long. The only suggestion I have is the voice level. Rob’s volume is good, but Andy’s is somewhat quiet. I listen to these with headphones where there is significant background noise. If I turn up the volume to hear Andy, Rob comes in loud. It would be helpful if the volume for the two voices was closer to the same. Thanks.
hey Robb,
I think it would help out people that want to skip through your podcasts to only listen on certain parts if you put the time next to each topic on the Show Notes. For instance,
5. Email Question from Lisa – 21:12
That way I can go right to it!
Thanks for all the info. Sorry to hear about HQ.
LOVE the radio! There is soo much good information, I have a notebook handy to write stuff down!
I think 45 min. is a good length. This episode i just stopped midway and came back to it when I had more time, but that point was at 40-45 min. I could listen to you talk all day. So much good information.
This may be a dumb question: When you say dairy free does that include cooking with butter? Does butter have no part in a paleo diet or is it one of those things to leave out for a time and re-introduce once things are better?
Johanna-
I think butter is pretty minor, but some folks do notice problems with it.
I just wanted to throw my experience in about the NorCal Margarita. As far as Im concerned that is just got to be the best drink ever concocted. I spent the weekend helping a friend move from SoCal to Gilbert, AZ. On Saturday night we went out drinking and I ended up having 5 of these drinks. Couple that with a total cheat night with a ton of hot wings and a crap load of pizza, and I was setting myself up for disaster. By the time I crashed (ok, I passed out) I was thinking “I am going to be hurting tomorrow for sure!” I woke up 5 hours later without so much as a headache! Not only that, but in another 7 hours I would be playing one of the best pickup soccer games I have ever played. Im not saying that I performed well BECAUSE of drinking, but despite having what amounts to 10 shots of tequila, I felt like I hadnt been drinking at all!
Now, my curiosity is piqued. What can I attribute my lack of a hangover to? Is it the way that the drink is prepared? Is it in the mix or combination of chemicals?
Anyways, thanks for a great drink recipe and for all of the other extremely useful information you present.
so creative
