A little about me before I dive into the dirty details of dietary considerations; my name is Jen and I’m in the process of completing my university education as a double major in nutrition and zoology. I have been following a vegetarian diet for as long as I can remember and a vegan, grain-free diet for the past year (after an ex-boyfriend introduced me to the concept of a paleo diet). So, with my undergrad nearing an end I decided to make this blog to keep my passion growing and to continue to learn. Hopefully I’ll get some readers that can learn with me as well as question or correct me! I invite any comments, be it good or bad!
Anyyywayyys, the paleo diet sparked my interest on the implications of our modernized diet. I always get people asking me about my diet and assuming that I am a radical because my views are a bit out of the box from the average person- but are they really? I think that the overwhelming evidence that supports my views is a good indicator that they are actually kind of logical. Aside from my dietary interests, I am an avid rock climber and am focused on training to reach my performance goals- my diet is a major consideration while I am training. So far, I have seen some massive gains as a result of my diet.
So with that back ground info, my blog will be about nutrition. I will consider anything from nutrition for athletics to paleo diets to different supplementations to … etc.

Hi Jen. Thanks for checking out my blog. I look forward to reading more from you! I think we have a few things in common, from nutrition to fitness, although unfortunately rock climbing and I did not exactly take to each other! I was a vegetarian for a year, but after discovering I was anemic, I re-introduced fish to my diet, and I’ve been a pescetarian for about 7 years!
Thanks for stopping by our blog (:
There are many interesting things for us to check out on your page!
Paleo diet is something we’ve recently discovered ourselves and it might be our next step in Veganism (:
but so far.. as long as it’s vegan we definitely have some interests to share!
Happy Blogging (:
You’re grain-free – that’s interesting! I’m curious, I’ll have to read more about this.
Hi Jen. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
hi..! whats a grain-free diet like? i’m really curious.. please forgive my ignorance but i was of the opinion that a vegan diet essentially “included” grains.. is it so?
Hey, thanks for stopping by my blog. I was interested to see flax on your list of superfoods. I’m trying my best to incorporate flaxseeds where I can! Great nutritional info on your blog. I’ll be checking it out regularly.
Thanks for checking out my posts from time to time. How’s the climbing?
Hi Jen,
I’m so happy that you stopped by my blog because it led me to yours! I love that you post scientific facts on nutrition, and from a vegan perspective as well! I’m hoping to study nutrition for my masters (unfortunately didn’t realize this passion until the final year of my undergrad) and I can’t wait to read more of your posts.
All the best
Carrie
