Note: The episodes are now available in iTunes as well and we’ll work on other feed services soon! Until then, the RSS feed link is available from the Blog Talk Radio page here. We’re using the “Notes” after each question to link to any relevant/additional information or items we mention in our responses on the podcast and say we’ll link to, but those are not anywhere near the extent of the answers we’re supplying… just so you’re clear on that!
With regards to the sound quality/cutting in and out (one iTunes reviewer commented on this): We have professional microphones and have NO clue as to why/how they’re cutting out. I am talking directly into the mic the entire time, so it could just be the internet service or the recording service. I just don’t know. I apologize for this, but really, we’re doing the best we can.
#1 Celiac disease meal plan and supplementation.
Hannah asks: “What type of meal plan would you recommend for someone who has Celiac Disease? I am starting my Paleo lifestyle on the 24th but would love to know about supplementation.”
#2: Fertilily and Paleo
Jane asks: “We are trying to get pregnant with number 2. How will Paleo affect our our chances? What should I be focusing on in my diet?”
#3: Weight gain without eating a lot of fruit?
Michael asks: “What would you say for someone who is trying to put on weight (muscle mass) for strength? I’m a crossfitter who trains hard (2 WODs per day 2-3 days per week) about 5-6 days per week. I feel like I’m not getting enough carbs, and I hate having to eat a lot of fruit.”
#4: Vitamin D
Brenda asks: “What’s a good Vitamin D supplement?”
#5: PMS & carb cravings
Kathleen asks: “Premenstrual carbohydrate cravings- why it happens and how to either fix whatever the problem is that gives you the cravings or what to eat which satisfies the need for carbs. =)”
# 6: Raw food, Intermittent Fasting & Ketosis
Shannon asks: “I recently watched the documentary Food Matters and found it fascinating. With regard to fruits and vegetables, it really stressed that we should try to eat them in their raw state. I eat lots of fruit raw, but veggies I tend to steam or roast, with the occasional salad or snack of raw veg. Should I be worried that I am not getting enough of the correct nutrients and supplement?”
and a 2nd question from Shannon:
Robb Wolf and others have talked about intermittent fasting. Nutritionally, how does this help or hurt the body. I am on my last 8 pounds to lose and have plateaued for a month and thought I might try this, but don’t know how often or how long.
- Notes: Check out more on this topic from Robb Wolf’s Paleo SolutionPodcast Episode 68, Episode 69 and Episode 71 as well as more from Paul Jaminet (author of The Perfect Health Diet) on IF & Ketosis here and here.
Cheers!
