“Isn’t paleo that thing that Mark Zuckerberg does that considers one of those giant turkey legs from the state fair with a side of bacon healthier than a bowl of oatmeal?”

Here’s the skinny: I am not an all-knowing guru when it comes to the exact science behind paleo, I just signed up for a paleo challenge and then read into all the reasons why I should no longer eat many of what I then considered my favorite foods. Long story short, if a caveman couldn’t pick it, kill it or cook it on his own, then we probably shouldn’t be eating it now.

I tried it, I liked it, so I started a blog about it. So many other bloggers out there rescued me from culinary mediocrity as I was learning the paleo ropes myself. The Occasional Faileo is my way of sharing recipes and tidbits of workout motivation that hopefully help others in their transition into a more paleo-based lifestyle while giving into the occasional old friend from the past, like ye olde slice of pizza or birthday cake. It’s all about balance, people.
