3. Quest & Curiosity
“Watch Me Go Paleo” is a blog that
chronicles the journey of one man’s
quest and curiosity.
It’s a blog about more than
just a diet.
In fact, it’s not really about
a diet at all.
4. Nutritional Reset
Instead, it takes an inside out look at how our food-
obsessed culture makes it challenging for anyone
looking to reset themselves nutritionally.
5. How it all started
“Watch me Go Paleo” was born
when an assignment met a
personal goal.
It was the first day of class,
Spring 2012, and I learned
I’d have to create a blog.
6. What Should I Blog About?
A co-worker’s sister and her
husband had pioneered a
nutritional reset program
called Whole30.
Based on the tenets of the
paleo diet, which traces
back to the cavemen era, it
was something I always
wanted to try.
7. Obstacles
But every time I debated starting, something came
up.
A dinner party.
A holiday.
A birthday.
A wine tasting.
A vacation.
8. A Perfect Reason
This assignment offered the perfect reason to tackle
going paleo.
And so I did…
9. TheWhole9 Nutrition Pledge
First I took this pledge:
“I will eat “real” food – fresh, natural food like meat, vegetables and
fruit.
I will choose foods that are nutrient dense, with lots of naturally-
occurring vitamins and minerals, over foods that have more
calories but less nutrition. And food quality is important – I will be
careful about where my meat comes from, and buy produce
locally and organically as often as possible.
Why? Because eating like this is good for maintaining a healthy
metabolism, and reducing inflammation within the body. Going
Paleo also helps to minimize my risk for a whole host of lifestyle
diseases and conditions, like diabetes, heart attack and stroke.”
