There are notes on food allergies, including nightshade sensitivity, and even guidance on what to do if the standard Paleo diet isn’t a match for your medical concerns. A great book for Paleo newbies and anyone interested in back-to-basics eating for better health.”

“Friends ask me all the time where they should start to read about it if they want to give it a go, and this book is the first thing I recommend. It's just so damn comprehensive with guides and recipes and substitutes and helpful explanations and notes laid out in a beautifully designed format. In fact, the design of the book is one of the reasons I love it so much, from the photography to the typography. Gorgeous. Meal plans, what to stock in your pantry, ideas for quick snacks. This is all you need to get started.”

How to Increase Your Bench Press, Working Out Sore, and Are Dietary “Cheat Days” OK? 
Diane weighs in on whether “cheat days” are okay as part of dietary regimen. “If your diet is so impossible to maintain that you feel the need to ‘cheat’ regularly to keep your sanity, then perhaps that way of eating isn’t right for you. That said, I do believe that occasional treats are totally fine.” … Achieving your fitness and nutrition goals is like taking a long road trip: You can stop as often as you’d like along the way, Sanfilippo says, but it’ll take you that much longer to reach your destination. Some stops may be worth it; others are simply a waste of time. Read more >>

Graduate Spotlight
Diane Sanfilippo, Nutrition Consultant
Bauman College Spring 2012 Course Catalog features Diane in their Graduate Spotlight. Check out the entire catalog here or just the feature here.
“I attended the Nutrition Consultant Training Program in Berkeley, CA and graduated in June of 2011. Early in 2008, I opened Balanced Bites, an organic, gluten-free meal delivery business. I managed all aspects of the business, including web design, marketing, shopping for ingredients, menu planning, cooking, and delivery of meals. After only a few months, I realized I wanted to do more than provide healthy meals — I wanted to teach my clients, family, and friends to provide for themselves. I realized my passion was to teach people how they could take responsibility for their own health through proper nutrition and lifestyle. I wanted to enable my clients to plan, shop for, and prepare healthy meals all on their own.” Read the full feature here.

Sean’s Story: Paleo, Type 1 Diabetes & the Endurance Athelete
“…After easing into it with Tim Ferriss’s “slow carb” diet, and then using The Paleo Diet for Athletes as a guide, I made the real paleo plunge–that is, no grains of any sort–in August. Ok, actually I was pushed into the paleo vortex by my nutritionist, Diane of Balanced Bites. After mentioning that I was diabetic, I think I got about six seconds into listing what I ate before Diane cut me off and told me that Grain Land would no longer be an option. Holy cats indeed, man.” Read the full post.

Paleo diet suggests you get back to your caveman roots
“The largest benefit of going Paleo is that “it restores normal function to your gut and digestive system,” said Diane Sanfilippo, a holistic nutritionist who runs a Paleo nutrition blog. “It’s what most people have trouble with but they don’t even know because nobody talks about it. Bloating and diarrhea are not normal and we shouldn’t be experiencing that at all.” Adopting the Paleo perspective is like hitting a reset button on your digestive system.”

People tend to over-complicate making beef jerky. Diane has found that if you’re dealing with good quality meat (ideally grass-fed), when it comes to a marinade, less is more. The very first time she made jerky, it was from elk and she basically tossed the meat in some spices and then chucked it in the dehydrator
