How to Grill Steak
This article is a fantastic primer on how to properly grill steak for the family bbq. I would only add that you should use grass fed meats from Modern Paleo Meats instead of your local grocery stores' grain fed or grain finished meats.

What is Paleo?
This was a question that I was asked recently on Facebook; here is my short answer:
Paleo is the short name for a whole body of research and literature investigating how to achieve one's optimal gene expression and thereby achieve optimal health and fitness.
The idea is, that from an evolutionary perspective our bodies are "designed" to eat and metabolize well certain types of foods and not others and certain types of exercise vs. other types will "stress" your body in the correct ways vs incorrect ways.
From the dietary perspective, in essence; it is recommended that you avoid all grains and corn, refined sugars, legumes (including peanuts) and vegetable seed oils. That you eat about 1 lb a day of lean healthy red meat, fowl (and eggs) and/or seafood, about 1.5 lbs a day of vegetables, some fruits, berries and nuts and that you cook with and/or use as salad dressing olive oil, butter/lard, coconut oil or other nut oils.
Avoid dairy products if you are lactose intolerant. Add key supplements that your body can't produce like Vitamin D if you don't get enough sunlight and Omega-3 oils if you are not eating enough cold water fish like salmon.
If you are interested in finding out more about the Paleo diet and exercise plans you can do a quick search on Amazon.com for "paleo diet" and you will see a number of books on the subject or you can go to the MPM Resources or Beyond the Meats pages at Modern Paleo Meats and you will see a number of Authors / Bloggers that I recommend as well as a number of books and products on the subject.
