It is Five years ago, almost to the day, that I changed my eating habits. Over one weekend! On the Friday, I decided to follow a Paleo diet plan, on the Sunday I decided that I would start with a month of the Whole30. By Monday morning, the pantry was empty of all non-paleo foods …

Paleo Weight-loss: Back to Basics
A new start. Here I am, 18 months after my hip replacement operation. I’m about 95% back to full strength and feel that the time is right to set about losing the remainder of my excess weight.
After the Hip Replacement – Catching Up
It’s been a while but I’m now starting to feel like writing again, in fact I’ve already started with a couple of tentative posts on Instagram. Instagram is so easy: an update just takes a sentence or two whereas writing a full blog post might still be beyond me – we’ll see. I had the …
Total Hip Replacement – 1
I have spent a couple of very busy weeks shopping for Christmas gifts for the people closest to me. I now only have a couple of days left to organise myself and get ready for the hospital and my hip replacement operation. Before I have the operation I wanted to come on the blog and …

How to lose 100lbs – Accountability
I am going to start the habit of accountability here on the blog. Sometimes (like today) this will take up a whole blog post but, because I don’t want it to get too tedious, sometimes I will just add an ‘update’ paragraph or two at the end of other posts.
Beef Bone Broth
I became interested in bone broth while researching joint health, before I had heard about Paleo. Although bone broth might appear to be the latest thing, it isn’t anything new, it is simply a stock made from animal bones and vegetables, and cooked for a long time (often in a slow cooker).
Roast Chicken Dinner
I want to follow the last post with a meal recipe that clearly demonstrates the Paleo diet. If you are from the UK, then you should definitely recognise this meal: A traditional roast chicken Sunday lunch. This is my mum’s roast chicken, I don’t always use this method but I love the way it creates …
