Look Ma, We’re On TV!

Posted by Stacy on May 6, 2013 in 2013, Featured | 8 comments

In the midst of everything else we had going on the last few weeks, we got a request from a local news team for an interview about our family’s experience with Paleo. Of course, we were thrilled to help spread our positive thoughts on how real food can affect a family! It’s our hope that other families watching their morning news would be inspired to give paleo a try if it means not just losing weight, but drastically improving health too. So we (nervously) invited a news crew with bright lights and a big camera into our home for a few hours to hang out and watch us prepare a...

Beyond Bacon: FAQs

Posted by Stacy on Apr 6, 2013 in 2013, beyond bacon, Featured | 34 comments

After an amazing week away from work and the routine of life, we have returned from our mini-vacation refreshed! We’ve been away from the blog too long, and for that we sincerely apologize. We’re looking forward to getting back into the kitchen blogging recipes and talking about our day-to-day life. Of course, the main reason for our disappearance (as we warned about here) is because Beyond Bacon is in the process of being put into its layout, edited and wrapped up in a pretty bow for the printer in order to make sure it gets into your hands by July 2, 2013! Now that all of the...

A Fat Girl’s Confession on Starting Crossfit

Posted by Stacy on Jan 24, 2013 in 2013, Featured | 7 comments

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you – no doubt – have seen my CrossFit photos lately. I want to take this opportunity to sincerely, genuinely apologize for inundating you with photos of me doing stuff that probably irritates, annoys, confuses or befuddles most of you (which I’m also about to do in this post). Please understand, when you’ve been sitting on your arse for a year recovering from an autoimmune flair and adrenal fatigue and then get in the gym and deadlift 193lbs, you want to shout it from the rooftop and tell everyone you know. Especially after...

Skintervention by Liz Wolfe, NTP

We get a LOT of questions about natural body care. Stacy’s mentioned we cloth diaper, that she uses a more natural deodorant and began henna-ing her hair… so I guess that’s why? But, considering this is a blog mainly focused on parenting, paleo recipes and our personal paleo journey, I can only image how many people in the community are looking for more information on the topic. If you’ll recall, I enlisted the help of our friend Liz Wolfe, NTP to join us on The Paleo View Beauty & Toxins podcast. We’ve referenced her in countless blog posts. She is the guru...

Why the Metabolically Broken Can’t Eat Carbs

Posted by Stacy on Jan 20, 2013 in 2013, Featured | 68 comments

As we’ve posted about several times, the entire family went on the 21-Day Sugar Detox after indulging a bit this holiday season. This post is the result of Stacy doing the detox. Now, I want to be very clear about what “indulge” means for us because I think it’s important to understand in the concept of why my results are so drastic. Why we ate sugar at all to begin with We are not Paleo Perfectionists. We eat sugar, sometimes. Mostly it’s treats for the kids. Sometimes it’s treats for others. And not seldom, it’s recipes we’re making to perfect...

TPV Podcast, Episode 21: Sugar Detox

Posted by Matthew on Jan 11, 2013 in 2013, Featured, Podcasts | 2 comments

Our twenty-first show! Ep. 21: Sugar Detox In this episode, Stacy and Sarah are both doing the 21 day sugar detox, so most of this episode centers around sugar and how it affects the body. They talk about their experiences giving up sugar this month and whether that has been difficult for them. Additionally, Stacy talks about her “No Spend” challenge and how that’s going for her as well. Finally, we take your questions about living a paleo lifestyle!

No Spend & No Sugar – Week 1

Posted by Stacy on Jan 8, 2013 in 2013 | 14 comments

Yowzer! Who would’ve thought there’d be such interest from you all in what I wasn’t even sure we should write about (since it’s not technically paleo)… our resolution to make January a No Spend month. I’ve gotten a disproportionate amount of requests to talk more about it – both on the blog and the podcast, so… here’s the nitty gritty. A Recap We’ve been doing no spend month for one week now and I can honestly say the first week was MUCH harder than the 21 Day Sugar Detox we’re also doing. However, I’ve realized –...

Our seventeenth show! Ep. 17: Paleo 101 In this episode, we hope to provide an overview of the paleo diet and help you navigate why the “rules” are the way they are. Why is it that we avoid grains?
