Mini Strawberry Cheesecakes (Paleo Style)

I’ve been living in Florida with my family for the past month, just trying to relax and take care of myself. Lots of time by the pool, eating wholesome food with my mom and husband every day, and indulging in sweets sometimes. I think taking care of yourself can […]

Is Nutrisystem All Bad?

I’m still in Florida with my mom and 2 aunts, who all live in the same cul-de-sac in a pretty little neighborhood. It’s warm and breezy here, and I love it.
I’m writing because I wanted to talk to you about Nutrisystem. My aunts have experimented with it with some […]

Paleo Chicken Pot Pie

I’ve been a little MIA lately – sorry! I’m in Florida spending time with my mom and aunts and uncles, but I wanted to give you this recipe while I’m thinking about it. We were just talking about what we’re having for dinner tonight, and pot pie is really […]

Paleo Pancakes with Berry Compote

I hope you have lovely relaxing and fun things planned for the weekend!. I wanted to give you a quick weekend recipe before I escape internet land for the next few days.

Oh, and before I forget, in case you haven’t heard about it, the Paleo Parents are having a […]

Spaghetti and Meatballs Paleo Style

I grew up with an Italian stepdad, so Italian meals were a comforting mainstay in my household. Lasagna, mostaccioli, ravioli, macaroni, linguini, and of course, spaghe-tti. Sometimes with meatballs and sometimes with sausages – just depended on my dad’s mood. 

But what do you do when you can’t have the […]

Paleo Zucchini Blondies

Blondies are the best thing to happen to the world since brownies, in my opinion. When I went Paleo I thought I’d never have a blondie again. Well, turns out I was wrong 😉 And these blondies are fancied up with zucchini, which we all know can give baked […]

Paleo Banana Bread

Banana bread is one of my favorite comfort foods. Banana bread was one of my mom’s specialties when I was growing up. She didn’t bake often, but when she did, it was usually banana bread. Or bran muffins – yuck – remember those things??

The recipe below is Paleo Banana […]

Which Supplements Should You Take?

I’m asked about supplements pretty often: people want to know which ones they should take.

Here’s my answer:

I have no idea.

Unfortunately, we’re all different, and we all need to supplement with different things in order to optimize our levels of nutrients, anti-oxidants, hormones, and all the other chemicals in our […]

My Paleo Comfort Cookbook Is Available!

Today I have some great news! Holy moly, I’ve been waiting to send you this email for a very long time. Almost a year now…

My Paleo Comfort Cookbook is Now Available!
 
As you may know, I love my cookies, cakes, breads, pot pies, and other “comfort foods”. So when I found […]

Grants for Alternative Medicine Care! (Read: Free Money to See A Naturopath, etc)

I recently received this awesome email from a viewer of the Women’s Weight Loss Solution Online Conference about how to receive financial help for alternative medicine care. Here’s her email in its entirety – I hope it helps at least one person!

Hello Neely,

Thank you for such a wonderful series […]

How I’m Overcoming Depression, And How You Can Too

Today I Want To Talk About Depression…

I’ve been struggling for the past 7 months with pretty serious depression due to health issues (tingling all over my body, visual disturbances, and general anxiety). I was diagnosed with mold biotoxicity, severe anemia, and I had shoulder surgery in this time, so […]

Overcoming Guilt of Eating Animals

I received this awesome question the other day, and thought I’d share my answer, since this is a common issue.
Is there a way I can get over the emotional guilt of eating animals, even if they were raised on a huge beautiful field of grass with the most humane way […]

The Big Weight Loss Mistake That Active People Make

For some reason, as a nutritionist, I attract a certain kind of person: active women whose goal is weight loss, but they just can’t lose weight no matter how much they work out or how low carb they are.

I’d like to shed some light on why so many active […]

Chocolate Almond Butter Cups Recipe

Memorial Day is a bitter sweet holiday. It’s happy because we get the day off of work, but it’s also incredibly sobering to remember all of the people who’ve sacrificed for this country, including many of our family members.

In honor of all of that, here’s a treat to splurge […]

How My Mother-In-Law Beat Autoimmunity

Happy Memorial Day weekend!

I really hope you’re doing some awesome stuff during this long weekend to celebrate all those who’ve sacrificed for this country. I’m taking the time to relax and enjoy the neverending (but beautiful) rainstorms here in Boulder.

It dawned on me that I’d forgotten to tell you […]

How To End Your Love-Hate Relationship With Food

As you may know by now, I’m a straight shooter, so I’ll just say it bluntly:

Your sugar addiction and emotional reliance on food are keeping extra weight on you.

I know because those are the things that made me overweight and kept me from losing weight for so long.

Let’s end […]

Paleo Bacon & Chive Scones

Sometimes I get tired of the same old breakfast – eggs and bacon. Sometimes I want something bready for breakfast, like I used to eat. Since I can’t eat grains or dairy, I’ll sometimes make these Paleo Bacon & Chive Scones and slather some coconut oil on ’em. If […]

End Emotional Eating Roundtable Event!

Last time we talked, I had just been diagnosed with anemia, and the iron pills were working pretty well for me. After that, though…
I was diagnosed with mold biotoxin illness.
That means I have allergies to molds, and I have mold toxins running around my body wreaking havoc on my […]

Primal Life Kit: 55 Paleo and Primal eBooks for $39.97

As you may know, I used to be the nutritionist, blogger, and eBook writer over at PaleoPlan.com, which is a great site for Paleo info and meal planning resources. During my time there, I produced the two most highly coveted bundle sales ever to happen in the Paleo/Primal world, […]

How To Get Back on The Paleo Wagon: Finding Motivation

I just received a great question from a reader and thought I’d share her plight and my response…
Hi Neely

I have to admit I have wanted to email you for a long time now. For many reasons I didn’t, but I will say your [last newsletter] and the fact that I […]

Low-Carb Cocoa Banana Bites Recipe

Prep time: 40 minutes
Serves 16

I know that snack foods can be a real issue when you’re trying to do Paleo, Primal, low carb or similar ways of eating. These little nuggets of goodness have only 9 grams of carbs in them, and they’re really satisfying.

To make these Cocoa Banana […]

My Health Update (AKA The Utter Importance of Blood Testing)

It’s been a while! I’ve been out of commission on many days over the past 4 months, and haven’t been writing much. I’ll tell you why, as I think it’s a good lesson for all of us about the incredible importance of blood testing.

In a post a while back, […]

Paleo Shepherd’s Pie Recipe

I haven’t written in a while, and I’ve missed you! I was doing my Women’s Weight Loss Workshop for the last 6 weeks, and it was really hard to stay on top of that, this site, and everything else I do in my life. The class went really well […]

Too Stressed at Work to Stay Paleo?

I received a great question from a woman who’s doing my 30-Day Fat Loss Jump-Start program, and I think you might be able to relate with her, so I thought I’d post my response. Have you ever felt like you’re too busy or stressed out to stick with a new, […]

The Paleo Solution to Pizza (and Some Dairy Advice)

I recently received the following question about dairy and pizza…
I was wondering what your thoughts are on occasional grass fed dairy (even raw) and a Paleo Pizza?
I have been gluten free for over a year ( I was really sick, so it made a huge difference) and I have […]

How to Make Weight Loss Resolutions That Stick

Happy new year to you! I hope you had a fantastic holiday filled with family, friends, relaxation, memory-making, and great food. Sometimes I can’t believe that Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year’s all happen within about 6 weeks of each other. What a crazy time!

And now it’s that time of year […]

Sweet Potato Tots with Maple Mustard Dipping Sauce

I’m in the process of creating a cookbook right now, and I wanted to give you a sampling of what’ll be in it. I’ll be posting a new recipe every week or so, and I’d love your feedback!
My Upcoming Cookbook!
I know there are tons and tons of cookbooks out […]

My Health Scare and Big Life Lesson

I’ve been a little out of commission these past few weeks, unfortunately. I’ve wanted to write – I’ve attempted to write! But I had shoulder surgery 4 weeks ago and the healing process has been a little crazier than I expected. After the Women’s Weight Loss Solution I was […]

The Best Gluten-Free Flour Alternative: Tapioca

When I first went gluten-free, I had a really hard time figuring out a good flour substitute. Everything in the gluten-free section – and even a lot of the stuff I baked myself – was dry and brittle – sort of like cardboard. The odd flavors of gluten-free stuff […]

Banana Tapioca Crepe Recipes

Whenever you’re an unconventional eater and you go home to visit family, there are inevitably questions about your culinary preferences. After so many years of this, my family is actually incredibly accommodating, driving me around town for ingredients and tolerating my many special needs.

There have definitely been some memorable […]

3 Tricks to End Sugar Cravings

Cravings.

Ugh.

Sugar cravings are the #1 killer of diets all across the planet. They’re insidious, nasty buggers that come out of nowhere and destroy even the best of dietary intentions.

Here you are, trucking merrily along with your new lifestyle of healthy eating, and all of a sudden – blammo! – […]

Breakfast’s Role in Weight Loss and Energy Levels

I want to tell you why eating a solid breakfast is one of the most beneficial things you can do for yourself every day in regards to weight loss, energy levels, and overall health.
I Need Breakfast
I’ve experimented quite a bit with breakfast in my own life, and I’ve realized that […]

One of My Favorite Breakfast Recipes

Breakfast for me goes in phases. I’m a creature of habit, so I spend months eating the same thing over and over every morning. Then one day, I’ll get bored and switch it up. This is one the breakfasts in my rotation. Feel free to add and subtract any […]

Grass-Fed Vs Conventional Meat: Does It Matter?

Today I’d like to focus on something that is incredibly close to my heart: the importance of the source of your meats. I was a vegetarian for about 10 years–starting at the age of 12–and my reason for not eating meat was my bleeding heart for animals’ welfare. I’m […]

Some Thoughts on Women’s Weight Loss

A few years back I taught a community nutrition class, and there was a particular student in the class who kept proclaiming with gusto that she ate every 2 hours every day. I kept thinking to myself, ‘That’s silly and unnecessary. Why would she do that? What a waste of time. […]
