Most chuck roast recipes call for a crock pot/slow cooker. Well I'm a guy and I like to BBQ. 

I had the day off and wanted to bust out the Traeger BBQ. If you don't know what that is, it's a pellet grill that allows for indirect heat at various temperatures, including smoke. It makes the best chicken in the world, hands down.

Anyway, I marinated the roast for 24 hours to try to get as much flavor as possible. Here is what I used for the marinade and how it turned out;

Just like humans have adapted consciousness and instincts to help make survival decisions, we've also developed a taste sensory system to help us choose foods that are healthy versus foods that are toxic and detrimental to our health.

Satisfying the different tastes goes beyond simply satisfying an appetite, satisfying all tastes helps avoid binge eating and ensures we don’t develop any nutrient deficiencies.

The 5 Major Tastes recognized by humans are; Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, and umami tastes.

If you are attempting to lose weight it’s you must understand how you can activate all 5 taste sensors to avoid reaching for the sweets after dinner.

This concept will argue that our cravings for sweets is  a symptom of deficiency, and that a steak will help relieve that craving much more than any candy bar could ever do!

It took Oceana two years to conduct its second seafood investigation here in the United States.

With the United States being the 2nd largest consumer of seafood, it’s not good that 33% of the 1,200 samples were found to be mislabeled.

Somewhere in the supply chain your fish is being fraudulently mislabeled and the problem is nobody can tell where it's happening.

This is my post workout meal. If you are attempting to lose weight, a single burger might be a better idea!

I eat so much beef it's not even funny. I eat beef (grass fed) like normal people eat chicken. Maybe more. I pretty much eat red meat every day. I also never do ab workouts and constantly maintain a six-pack. I let my food do the work for me.

New Seasons usually carries the 5% or 10% lean pasture beef which simply doesn't cut it for me. If you've been around Paleo Evolved much, you know how I encourage healthy fats - saturated included. Well with only 5% fat content I decided to add a little of my own.

I want to add some muscle this winter so in an effort to increase testosterone, I've increased my saturated fat content. This allowed me to add some fresh guac and uncured bacon to my burgers. I pre-mixed some garlic, salt, pepper, minced garlic and sliced onions in the burgers before throwing them onto the grill.

I've also never really eaten wild rice before. While I usually stick to white rice to avoid plant toxins, I can't accept the idea that brown rice and the added fiber is unhealthy. It's NOT something that I eat daily however. Maybe once a week...maybe.

Beyond simple energy expenditure, I’m here to argue that Fructose is the 2nd leading cause to the obesity epidemic in all developed and developing countries. It's the reason you're fat...

Don’t get me wrong, I love fruit and eat a piece or two each day, however if you are reading this you’re likely in a search for weight loss, to get lean, get shredded – to burn body fat. 

I’m here to prove that eating too much fructose is putting your body into a very efficient fat storing factory that no exercise routine can overcome. THIS is the reason 9 out of 10 people are fat.

I eat lamb and salmon at least once each week, and last night was my lamb night. I prefer getting the lamb arm chop cut from New Seasons Market. It usually costs around $6 and I usually cut in in half for two different meals. If I am feeling the need for a re-feed I will eat the entire thing though!

As you can see from the picture above, the bone is full of delicious bone marrow! Growing up I would have avoided this like the plague, but now that I eat Paleo I know better and love "God's Butter".

This is a sample paleo meal that I would use post workout. Plenty of protein and carbs to refuel, plus some veggies for the bonus nutrition.

The recipe is pretty simple, here it is;

Some days I just need some pizza! 

That being said, obviously I am not down with spending $5 for Dominos take-out as my ass would shake for a week, although 5 bucks for multiple meals would be amazing (sometimes I envy my ignorant, out of shape friends).

I've tried cauliflower and almond flour Paleo Pizza Crust Pizzas, however this is my favorite hands down.

I got the crust recipe from Chris Shugart of T-Nation and made this with some leftover grass fed steak I had in the fridge. I like these paleo pizzas because they are high in calories for a refuel, however the calories are still relatively clean; meat and veggies.

Admittedly, there is a decent amount of cheese in this recipe. If dairy is an issue for you, I apologize! 

With this site being focused on muscle growth, high caloric meals like this are great for off days! With this pizza you are going to get tons of both veggies and protein!

Here is the recipe!

Here is a cool little video I came across that I thought might be worth sharing. For all you Paleo Noobs out there! Stay lean, stay strong!
