Hello dear readers, After nine years of blogging on this platform, I’ve decided to move to a new website at stephanguyenet.com. This coincides with the impending release of my book, The Hungry Brain, on February 7, 2017, as well as my general desire to have a more professional-looking public interface. My blog will be there, as well as a book page, a page for the Ideal Weight Program, and other resources.Thank you all for your support, and I’ll see you at stephanguyenet.com. Sincerely,StephanThis post was written by …
Yesterday marked the first day in Chicago of cold autumn rain. And certainly not the last. Being an avid walker in all types of weather, that means I have to have footwear that can handle wet weather — any kind of wet weather from hot rain to snow. Of course you can get rainboots anywhere, but traditional rainboots have some serious issues. Why Traditional Rainboots Are Bad (For most uses) Rainboots like the Hunter Wellingtons shown above are perfect for riding horses. Their solid construction and heel makes them perfect …
I suppose this could be one of those “sorry you guys, I’ve been meaning to post some stuff on my blog, but I just never got around to it” kind of things. I hate those, and so do you. In the spirit of nobody cares what you plan to do, here’s what I’ve done since we last chanced upon this realm… Founded an Intentional Community In August of 2012, I wrote a post theorizing about what an intentional community informed by paleo frameworks and hunter-gatherer anthropology …
My office. Finally stopped raining. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-GBpZsJNME/?igshid=hl1adi8zb3tl
Sorry I’ve been MIA again. Lots of stuff has been going on here – colds/flu, the holidays, and a somewhat unexpected move. We’ve known we were going to be moving for a little while, but we thought it wouldn’t be until January – well things got pushed up and now we’re moving next week! So it’s been pretty busy around here. I’m looking forward to getting back to recipe posting once we move. We’re upgrading from a tiny little apartment to a nice sized house, so I’ll have a bigger kitchen …
Hey friends! Thanks for stopping by. Just a (very) quick one to let you know that I have now moved all of my blogging over to my website – www.theholisticnutritionist.com – where you can also find details about working with me. I look forward to seeing you there! xx

Two human studies, published in 1995 and 2000, tested the effect of carbohydrate vs. fat overfeeding on body fat gain in humans. What did they find, and why is it important?We know that daily calorie intake has increased the US, in parallel with the dramatic increase in body fatness. These excess calories appear to have come from fat, carbohydrate, and protein all at the same time (although carbohydrate increased the most). Since the increase in calories, carbohydrate, fat, and protein all happened at the same time, how do we know that …
No menu plan this week. We all might be subsisting on quick-fix tex-mex. Thank goodness my husband’s mother fixed us some real food over the weekend! We are getting the furniture and everything all packed up for our “hop” across town… Catch ya on the flip side!floor picnic with the kids

Hello little blog, how have you been? I’ve been busy moving and visiting family over the holidays, but now I’m ready to get back to updating you. In fact, my only resolution this year is actually to blog more often! So let’s get to it.I found a nice looking bag of frozen, unpeeled shrimp at my new grocery store (since moving I’ve swapped a Whole Foods for a Wegman’s) and decided what the heck – I don’t do a lot of seafood, but I always feel like I should, and …
I know a lot of chicks who do not have their period. Most of whom aren’t looking to get pregnant yet, so they don’t really see it as much of an issue. Some even see it as a blessing. I get that. Periods are a little inconvenient. They are messy. They hurt. BUT they play an important role in our health. As women, getting a regular, monthly period signals that our menstrual cycle is healthy, our
You hear about the benefits of chicken stock, both nutritional and culinary, almost everywhere you look. I tried for years to make it part of my arsenal but I had some kind of mental block and never succeeded in making a stock that I thought tasted any good at all. I would try to hide it in things so I couldn’t taste it. I was very happy to finally figure out how the heck to make good tasting stock, so I will share it with you!YUMMY CHICKEN (OR TURKEY) …

Throwback Thursday. Paleo Pad Thai from April 2012. I’m making it again tonight!
When I first moved to New Zealand, I decided that I was going to make a concerted effort to connect with like-minded practitioners. I wanted to be part of a strong community of health folk. What I didn’t know was how amazing my new-found health-nerd friends would be. Actually, I tell a lie. I had an inkling of their awesomeness. Sometimes (often) my images have no relevance to the topic. I
On my mind:We’ve moved. We downsized. It was a lot of work, but it was worth it. I’m talking about the move being over, the real work has barely begun. Let’s call this project house #1. I am excited. Time will tell how long we will stay. The biggest drawback is my husband’s commute is even suckier than before. Mine is about the same, which is not ideal, either, but doable. I realize all I really need is my family together (which I have), and it is a happy …
Creamy Green Bean CasseroleI’ve seen a lot of versions of green bean casseroles that don’t quite look like that old-time favorite. In this recipe, I really try to capture the flavor of the original dish. I think it turns out amazing!Prep time: 15 minutesCook time: 40 minutesIngredients:4 cups frozen green beans, thawed and drained or 2 cans green beans, drained (or fresh green beans cooked)2 cups mushrooms½ onion½ teaspoon olive oil⅛ cup tapioca flour1 can beef broth plus ¼ cup beef broth1 cup coconut milk1 cup sweet potato, cooked1 cup pork …
