Attention Diabetics: I know nothing

I'll  admit it... When it comes to diabetes, and how to prevent and/or reverse it. I know nothing.

I have read LOADS of books and blogs on the biochemistry of hormones and glucose, taken numerous college courses on human anatomy and physiology, Worked as a teaching assistant for anatomy and physiology classes AND nutrition classes... Watched "FAT HEAD" by Tom Naughton, Read "Good Calories, Bad Calories" and "Why We Get Fat" by Gary Taubes...

Yet, Since I myself am neither diabetic, nor certified by anyone to talk about such things, I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING about diabetes.

Luckily for all of us...


Steve Cooksey does! (AND he seems to have a growing number of "proper" dieticians supporting him now.)

This man lives in Charlotte, NC and is royally upsetting the ADA and many other folks who seem intent on NOT curing diabetes. Therefore, since I hope to not make any enemies, I'm asking you to keep taking drugs, and don't listen to anything this happy, healthy, used-to-be diabetic says.

Thanks, that is all.

Now go outside and play! Love, Mo the human.

Eggs in my coffee... (it sounded nasty to me too)

If you like the idea of some good fat and good protein in your breakfast, and don't feel like cooking. Or, if you want a creamy latte but don't tolerate dairy well... I might have a delicious solution.
May I humbly present..."the Paleo Latté"






aka "Mo-Joe"
aka "Eeeew...  You put WHAT in your coffee!?"

RAW EGGS! If you're concerned about bacterial safety, you can just pour some boiling water over your eggs in a bowl, let sit 10-20 seconds, and then drain and dry them before cracking. 

1: Using an immersion blender in a wide mouth quart jar (or a regular blender), blend 2 raw eggs and 1-4 TBS organic coconut oil or MCT oil(Warning: If you are new to drinking high fat coffee, go easy on the coconut oil at first... Too much can have a laxative effect.)
2: With blender running, slowly pour about 12 oz freshly brewed French press coffee into eggs and continue blending until frothy. 
3: Pour into large mug or glass and enjoy! 
4: (Optional) Top with cocoa nibs for extra flair and a tasty crunch.
5: (DANGEROUS OPTION) add 1/2 tsp of sugar or honey while blending. This will make the beverage a little TOO good! :)

This can also work with fresh hot chai tea instead of coffee for a "Chai Latte"


I originally got the rough idea from Mark Sisson
