Pasta night needn’t be a thing of the past when you adopt Primal Blueprint eating principles. While there’s a host of packaged paleo and even keto pasta choices out there these days, the simplest, whole food option is the humble spaghetti squash. Here we’ve taken full advantage by using the remaining shell as a festive bowl once we’ve shredded the “noodles” from the inside.

Is fasted cardio ok for women, specifically 20-25 minutes of interval sprints? My answer: it depends! It really comes down to personal preference. Do you feel ok working out on an empty stomach?

I’ve also noticed that I have more energy with food in my stomach. Those pre-workout carbs really do kick in!  I once heard an episode of The Mind Pump Podcast that talked about how some people swear it makes a difference in fat burning, but science says that difference is very minimal. My opinion? If you’
