#88 – Eating Bread Again, 100lbs Down with Paleo, Working in a Professional Kitchen, Social Media Backlash and When Followers Freak, the Politics of Dietary Advice, and Better Food Photos with Joshua

We’ve got SO much to talk about this week. Everett and Kristin kick off the show with a little talk about checking your ego in the gym and how CrossFit is making the Games fun again. Then. we’re joined by Joshua Weissman to talk about everything from how he lost 100+ lbs at 16, to what it’s like working in a professional kitchen, to the politics of food and nutrition. At 21, he’s got more kitchen chops than most and some pretty great insights into how to break away from Paleo dogma to find what works best for you. Topics include: How he lost 100+ lbs as a teenager with paleo Why and how he started reintroducing non-paleo foods (like bread) Food blogging vs actually working in a kitchen Rebranding and social media – follower backlash How Paleo may be limiting your reach The politics of food recommendations Taking better food pictures Josh is a food blogger (currently at slimpalate.com), author (The Slim Palate Paleo Cookbook), and now you can learn the basics of cooking with his youtube show “Cooking Is Not That Hard“.
