My Local Heroes

If you haven't heard, Hollister's Farmers Market is going on now to September on Wednesdays.

Looking for grass fed animals? www.eatwild.com is a good place to look. It's on that website I found two local suppliers.

Me and my girl have started to go to a local farm on Saturdays and it has been an exciting trip each time. Check out what they got there http://www.pinnacleorganic.com.
Also check out http://www.localharvest.org/ for your local farms.

Getting Started

I'm short on funds this month, its been a rough one. 
Taken from the internet
So all I can do is prepare. I'm looking up where to buy certain foods, where to buy grass finished meats. I know I wont be able to jump right into grass fed, I'd like too but it's not realistic. I have prepared a shopping list of all the things I'll need for 1 week and its absurd. And at the same time exciting. I know I will get lazy and I wont want to do any cooking or preparing, but mentally preparing myself is one of my task.

Before the Storm

My name is Jason. I have been unhealthy since this very day. You know somethings wrong when you fart and smoke your self out of the room. You know something is wrong when your eating and you feel like absolute shit. I have yo-yo'd like Mo Fo.

My solution? "The Paleo Solution" by Robb Wolf. I picked up this book and everything just clicked. I know I'm a sucker and I believe in everything I hear. But I can truly say this book has changed my life, changed my way of thinking and I hope it's all for the better.

Here's the break down of the Paleo. 






















How did I arrive down this shady road? First of all, I watched "The Gerson Miracle". It's about healing cancer with raw foods. With juicing. I then saw "The Beautiful Truth", I highly recommend this movie. Which lead to "Super Size Me", we all have seen it.. mostly. Then I saw "Food Inc." and I was devastated.
Now maybe I was warped, mislead, gullible, possessed, manipulated, or just plain stupid but this information engulfed my life. Then here's the kicker, I watched this movie called "Fat Head" which is a documentary about how "Super Size Me" was misleading. Right off the bat I didn't like it. It went against everything I stood for, the movie stated low-fat were bad, and fats where good. BAMMM! I knew some fats were good for us, but saturated fats should be more in our diet? Then came "In defense of Food" and my road might be shady but the grass was looking greener. And then two weeks later, I picked up "The Paleo Solution" and here i am.

I can't tell everyone to eat this way, I need to show them to eat this way. Hence I created this Blog. I have to become the human guinea pig. I plan on posting Measurements, Food logs, Work out logs, pics here and there. And I plan to share the wealth.
