Since going Paleo my family has fallen even more in love with our grill. Paleo and grilling just work well together. The past couple of years I've even been stepping outside my grilling comfort zone more and more. Grilling things I'd never thought to have grilled before and trying new flavor combinations. I have to say I'm pretty thrilled with the results of most of my flavor experiments. In the past I'd never have thought to grill fruit, but it's amazing. Grilling fruit and adding it to traditionally savory dishes? Brilliant. Oh yes, and? New rule: every burger recipe for the rest of forever must contain grilled pineapple. OK, maybe more of a guideline. It's a seriously delicious combination though. This Smoky Grilled Pineapple Burger is always a crowd-pleaser at my house. It's not only Paleo, but Whole30, glutenfree, lower carb, and clean eating friendly. I promise you won't miss the bun! paleo, grilled pineapple burger, smoky
I've noticed lately that dairy seems to bother my joints. Now, you know I have that old hip injury from my first marathon that flares up once in a while. I'd never been able to pinpoint exactly what caused this. However, over the last few months I've wondered if it's related to my dairy consumption. Being Paleo I don't do a whole lot of dairy, but when I do seems to correlate with my hip acting up. I'm not entirely sure if it's the cause, but it's awfully suspicious.
Lately I've been feeling like I need a boost of "good bugs" and have been having quite a bit of yogurt and kefir. I also always have the occasional whey protein and half & half in my coffee. All of that on top of the organic grassfed butter I normally include in my diet (it doesn't seem to bother me at all) has added up to a whole lot of dairy in my diet. My hip had been completely perfect prior to this increase in dairy. Now? It's bothering me again. Interesting to say the least.
So... I guess I'll cut all the extra dairy and stick to the little bit of organic grassfed butter and half & half and see what happens!
Poll: Anyone else have this problem? Does dairy seem to bother your joints?
OK, onto this week's Coffeyfit workout schedule...
I have to say that I am really enjoying this workout rotation. It's just what I needed right now. Several people have been asking how I like Kelly Coffey-Meyer's DVDs. I'll try to get some reviews up soon, but I'll say here: definitely recommend them.
How about you: tried any new workouts lately?
