“Sous Vide” might immediately make you think this recipe involves a fancy, overly precious cooking method that only the food snobs among us will be interested in. But what if we tell you that the two main cooking tools it requires are a picnic cooler and a Ziploc bag, and that heating water is the only cooking skill required?
We’ve been reading about sous vide for some time now, but it took a recipe sent in by Szara Loring for the Primal Blueprint Reader-Created Cookbook Contest to encourage us to try it at home. Szara’s

Every so often I stumble across something that reminds me why I love Eat stop Eat.
Typically I find this type of stuff on the internet..usually in the form of the ever-conflicting diet advice you can find being passed around on-line.
The type of advice that makes you worry about specific macronutrients or macronutrient ratios in a way that is overly simplified and overly confusing at the exact same time.
But today…Today was different.
I found today’s Diet Confusion in a research paper.
Here’s the weird part..I wasn’t looking for Diet Advice, I was reading

My Favorite Diet Hack…
I’d like to let you in on one of my all time favorite ‘diet hacks’
No, it’s not fasting (that’s not really a ‘Diet hack’ – it’s more of a lifestyle)
Actually, it’s scotch.
Yep, good ol’ Scottish Whiskey (Irish is pretty darn good too, but I digress)
So you’re probably wondering how a ounce of the good stuff (neat of course) can be a diet hack?
Simple..
It’ll save you calories…. lots of them.
An ounce of scotch has about 70 Calories.

I was waiting in line to order some food.
I was planning on ordering a walnut and avocado salad, when the 9″ pizza menu caught my eye.
The ‘Rustic Veggie Pizza’ sounded really, really good.
So when it was my turn to order I asked the young girl behind the counter:
“How filling is the Pizza”
her response was that she could easily finish one.
I looked over at the guy standing beside her, and he said “Yeah, it’s small, it’s a lunch portion”
So I ordered it.
I wish I took pictures!
I could

Our concept of health only exists in opposition to its absence. Healthy is the default position. We’re not “supposed” to get strokes, coronary heart disease, diabetes, or cancer. Sure, a few people, here and there, are far more likely to suffer the ravages of the degenerative diseases of civilization, but the real numbers are inflated. For most of the population, we can avoid the worst of it, and if you spend a bit of time on MDA or any other ancestral online communities, you’ll see example after example of people taking charge of their health

Boy, oh, boy am I excited about what this next month holds for MDA readers. This year’s 30-Day Challenge (September 7 — October 6) will be all about aligning your lifestyle behaviors with each of the 10 Primal Blueprint Laws. There will be contests and giveaways each day. I’ve lined up some great sponsors this year. I’ll save most of the details for next Tuesday (come back from Labor Day weekend ready to get Primal!) but I will say this: I’ll be giving away an entire cow courtesy of U.S. Wellness, an assortment of unwieldy

Yesterday I received an email about this workout program ==> http://bhlikes.it/mymb
Now, normally I don’t ‘report’ on this kind of thing, but I really, really liked this email.
Why?
Because it made me realize that I’m NOT taking crazy pills!
See when I wrote Anabolic Again and was doing my research behind Anabolic Slow Down I felt like I was the only one who cared about this phenomena…but now seeing that big time fitness people like Vince Delmonte are also recognizing that their is something putting the breaks on muscle growth in experienced lifters…well
