I’m not sure what it is about summer, but this season always puts me in the mood for Mexican food! I love the smoky, rich flavors, juxtaposing textures, and of course – vibrant colors!
Flank steak fajitas are one of my favorite paleo-twists on a Mexican classic! These flank steak fajitas have a deep, vibrant flavor that anyone will love, and they are so easy to make!

Hormones in the female body fluctuate a lot throughout the month, so it only makes sense for a woman to adjust her exercise routine to match this! Many women find that when they exercise in a way that aligns with their cycle, they feel much better. If your body is primed for low intensity work but you’re trying to force high intensity intervals on it, for example, you’ll probably feel burnt out, you’ll underperform, and you won’t get the results that you want.

High-fat, low-carb diets can be a great tool for eliminating food cravings and breaking food addiction, but for some people, they might actually worsen the problem.
While many people notice a decrease in their food cravings on low-carb diets, some people notice that they start to crave fatty foods more than ever before. Are these cravings a problem? Not always. It depends. Sometimes these cravings are telling us that our bodies really do need more healthy fats, but other times these cravings are due to the addictive properties of saturated fats.

This 15-minute HIIT workout is a great way to break a full-body sweat when you’re short on time. No equipment is needed – just your bodyweight! You can do this on travel, in your room, or anywhere you’re caught without a gym. Even though HIIT workouts are short, they are intense. You shouldn’t be able to go longer than 15 minutes. I don’t recommend doing HIIT more than once or twice a week for most people, if that.

The best way to spice up any meal, appetizer, or snack is to add a dip or sauce! Dips are the key to flavor on a paleo, real-foods diet, and they’re definitely my favorite way to totally transform a meal.
This paleo / vegan spicy cashew nacho cheese is the perfect dip to make for a sports event, taco night, holiday party, or any other event where you really want to please the crowd! It’s thick and creamy, and it goes with a wide variety of “dipping vehicles,” as I call them.
