I have a question. My husband just started the Paleo diet. He is on this diet so he can lose weight. Besides having to lose weight he is also a diabetic. His Doctor told him for the first 2 weeks to eating only protein – nothing else. He has been eating lots of meat & eggs – nothing else, After the first two weeks he was told he could slowly start adding low carb fruits and vegetables. He is on third day and he is feeling like this will not work. He said by now something should show up in taking his blood sugar. He told me his numbers are higher now than before going on this. Does it take awhile for your body to adjust to this type of diet?

This bagel butcher doesn’t mess around when it comes to knives (mostly because it’s not safe, duh). Belle’s Bagels co-founder Nick Schreiber has rained down his coveted hand-rolled bagels on, what he refers to as, the “bagel desert” of LA, recently settling on a home inside Highland Park’s Hi Hat music venue. His favorite knife may look like a run-of-the-mill Cutco bread knife, but a closer look reveals it is only meant for a true bagel slayer.
