Carbs and comfort food


When I finally made the switch to primal (and even now as I vacillate somewhat between strictly primal and more lenient versions thereof), it wasn't a huge change. I was never much of a white bread/white rice-eater and, armed with (mis)information about the benefits of whole grains, I had already switched from regular pasta to brown rice pasta and whole wheat bread to brown rice tortillas. I felt healthier, but still found that I tended to binge on carbs. That may have been the first indicator that something was up; if you can eat 2+ servings of pasta or oatmeal without feeling remotely full, then something is up.

Salutations and Strata


Ah, the first blog post.

Well, the first for this blog at least. All throughout my vast and complicated relationship with what I fondly  refer to as the interwebs I have left behind a string of blogs, never to be read again (well, technically never to be read at all). But as always, this time will be different. So welcome, hypothetical reader, to my newly refurbished corner of the internets. Here there be dragons!
