Julianne's Paleo & Zone Nutrition

In my last post I outlined how gluten triggered an immune reaction and damaged the gut cells in genetically predisposed people. In this post I will look at studies that show gluten grains are not the only food to cause problems for those with celiac: Casein and dairy products can inflame the gut Non gluten [...]

I’m working on a new post on diet and celiac disease. In the meantime here is an update on the state of Paleo eating in my home New Zealand, and information on seminars and resources. The Paleo Diet is soaring in popularity in New Zealand as it is on other countries, primarily in the main [...]

My introduction to the paleo world of eating came after I’d been eating a Zone diet for around 13 years. I’d been teaching portion control and based on this template, and found it remarkably successful in acheiving fat loss and blood sugar. However I found the zone block system is rather rigid and dogmatic, and [...]

Not for me it isn’t. Like many paleo people I eat a lot of vegetables (problably more than your average vegan) Just thought I’d post a pic of my dinner last night: Sicilian Chicken (recipe to come), 100 grams chicken breast (about a palm size = approx 25 g protein) Cauliflower rice, about 1/2 cup [...]

Gluten free / Paleo travel, the first day: Auckland Airport, on an airplane, in Hong Kong Is it possible to eat a gluten free or paleo diet when traveling in foreign countries? On our 4 week trip we are visiting Hong Kong, Moscow, Novokuznetsk (Siberia), London, Barcelona and Paris. I decided that being religiously paleo [...]

One recurring theme in the paleo world is carbohydrate confusion. Should I eat carbohydrates if I want to lose weight, and if so how much? There are a couple of contributing factors to this confusion: 1. The paleo diet has become viewed as a low carbohydrate diet. This stems from the work done by Cordain, [...]

Suz in Australia has organised Down-Under’s very first Paleo weekend. I’ll be there, as will another Kiwi Paleo Nutritionist ‘That Paleo Guy’ Jamie Scott. (I’ve been to some of Jamie’s work place seminars, always very well researched, up to date information – great presentations) This from Suz’s website http://paleo.com.au I’m very excited to announce the [...]
