Chicken nutrition.

Chicken is an excellent source of nutrition. In general, it’s relatively low-calorie, has a lot of protein, and isn’t the “dark meat” variety. It also tastes great!

Just as having a pantry full of preserved fruits or vegetables brings a feeling of comfort and a cheerful burst of color to your kitchen, so does having a jar of lemons preserving on your counter. Preserving lemons involves little more than cramming a bunch of lemons and salt in jar and letting it sit for a month. The end result is like a food version of lemonade: a little tart, a little sweet and pleasantly bitter.
Rather than eaten alone, preserved lemons are used as an ingredient, most often in Moroccan-inspired cooking. The intensely lemony flavor has a bit of a bite to it and is too strong to be a main ingredient; rather, preserved lemons should be thought of as an exclamation point, adding a burst of citrus flavor to finish a dish. Thin strips of preserved lemon can be added to braised meat, such as lamb, near the […]

It’s Friday, everyone! And that means another Primal Blueprint Real Life Story. Today, Mark’s Daily Apple reader J.P. shares an all too familiar tale: Boy is young, fit and active. Boy goes to college and parties hard. Boy gets a desk job and becomes sedentary. This is usually where the story takes a turn for the worst. But J.P., as he approached 30, took a look at himself in the mirror and realized something had to change. See how J.P. rejected becoming your typical out of shape 30 year old and grabbed control of his health in the process.

If you have your own success story and would like to share it with me and the Mark’s Daily Apple community please contact me here. I’ll continue to publish these each Friday as long as you send them in. Thanks for reading!

Hey guys, this is Rafi Bar-Lev. With all the site changes lately, I was a little busy to write a new article. So luckily, my colleague Greg Hayes from Life Fit Blog offered to guest post for me.
Also, the RSS feed had to be changed because of the site change – so please resubscribe to my RSS so you can keep getting new posts. (Sorry about that guys!) Without further ado, here’s Greg’s guest post:

[“Lose weight? Does that like…require getting off the couch? Because I don’t see that happening.”]
As a kid, and young adult, I never spent much time thinking about fitness or weight management.  In fact, although I was physically active, I never “worked” at fitness.  It was a simple by-product of my lifestyle.  I was active, and fitness followed.
Graduate school, parenthood, and a career fixed that little oversight.  From the time I graduated college, until I decided to […]

Yerba mate (YERB-ah mah-TAY). Ever heard of it? It is an herb with a storied history as an alternative to traditional teas for the inhabitants of its native South America. I’ve received numerous emails recently asking about its properties and its role in the Primal Blueprint eating plan. Let’s dive straight in.
Yerba mate tea is prepared by steeping the dried leaves and twigs of the mate plant in hot water (not boiling water, which can make the tea bitter). It has an herbal, almost grassy, taste, with some varieties somewhat reminiscent of certain types of green tea. Traditionally, yerba mate is drunk communally from a hollow gourd with a metal straw, but a coffee mug works just as well (you know, for when your gourd is in the dishwasher). Like many teas and coffees, yerba mate is imbued with an impressive amount of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, including B vitamins […]

Learning about the various types of aquaculture setups is interesting and useful, but we’re ultimately interested in whether they can produce safe, nutritious, affordable seafood. Wild seafood can be pricey, unavailable, and of questionable merit or sustainability. Certain wild species are definitely worth pursuing – Alaskan salmon, sardines, herring, mackerel, to name a few – but there are environmental (overfishing, collateral damage to other important species, structural damage to the marine environment) and health (accumulation of heavy metals like lead and mercury, polychlorinated biphenyl/PCB, dioxin) issues that the conscious fish eater must stay abreast of. Healthy and safe farmed seafood, then, would be a welcome alternative, if it’s out there.
Okay. Let’s get down to it.
Which farmed seafood is safe to eat? Is there anything like grass-fed beef or pastured chicken available in scales or shells?

Shellfish
As a whole, farmed shellfish, when compared to wild shellfish, are very good bets for the […]

I like instant results.  It’s not that I’m impatient, I just like knowing when something is working as quickly as possible.
This is probably why I like Eat Stop Eat so much, in as little as a day you can drop anywhere from 2 to 5 pounds.
Awesome.
But it’s this need for quick results that has kept me from experimenting with some age-old workout principles, that have always made a lot of sense to me.
So if you have the patience… These may be some highly effective Ideas:
1) Down the rack
This one is fairly simple. We’ll use Squats as our example exercise.
Set the safety’s in a power rack to about 1/4 squat level. Work up to doing lock outs with a weight you can barely handle for 3 reps.
Every week, lower the safety pins by one hole…and then work up to the same weight, once you can do more  3 or more, […]

Wow, Gary Farrow is on a roll! We’ve talked about his accomplishments in recent jiu jitsu tournaments, where he’s medaled each time. And on April 30th, he took it to the next level in his first amateur fight! And as we all knew he would, Gary came home victorious!
Gary Farrow FTW!

Gary’s fight was held at the Omni in VA Beach, and was sponsored by Frank Lipoli. Gary’s opponent was Scott Cox, who had a record of 2-3 and now, thanks to Gary, is 2-4.
Gary’s been training hard, as always, and it showed in this fight. The match was slated to be threee three-minute rounds. Scott came out hard with a fierce stand up game that no one was expecting and Gary ended up on the ground after a strong blow to the head. But unbeknownst to Scoot, the ground is Gary’s home. After a brief struggle where Gary clearly showed […]

I know what many of you are already thinking: where do I sign up? Let’s face it: we organize much of our lifestyles contrary to CW specifically to live healthier and feel better. When it’s check up time, however, we find ourselves back in foreign territory. If it’s just an annual ritual, we can grit our teeth through the usual advice and make the best of it. On the other hand, if we’re receiving care for on ongoing condition and using the Primal Blueprint to get on top of our health – or if we’re just looking for more from our health care – it’s harder to skirt the Primal issue. Some practitioners will listen and offer gentle, cautionary advice. Others will agree to give your approach “a chance” before going back to their prescribed route. A few will unfortunately fly off the handle and tell you they will need […]
