#001: Our Stories, Weight Loss on Paleo, & Finding the Right Carb Intake

BIG NEWS! Today is the official launch of The Paleo Women Podcast!Over the past few months, my friend Stefani Ruper (of paleoforwomen.com) and I have been talking about how we'd love to collaborate together in some form or capacity. When Stefani suggested we do a podcast, I couldn't have been more thrilled with the idea, especially since I've always been drawn to broadcasting, and of course - I love to talk.While neither of us are "strict" Paleo women as our title might suggest, finding the Paleo diet was a catalyst for change in both of our lives - and it's a big part of who we are. We're both incredibly passionate about real food, self-love, and looking at diet through an ancestral perspective.So, what can you expect from this podcast? Together, Stefani and I will answer questions and discuss topics relating to nutrition, fitness, health, wellness, and hormonal balance. You can expect straight talk, down-to-earth advice, and moderately amusing banter.Please note: This is our first podcast ever. So, please have patience as we get better at this. Also, Stefani is in Spain, which is a little hard on the sound quality. These circumstances, as well as presentation of material will improve overtime. Pinky-swear! Episode #001 In episode #001, Stefani and Noelle give a little background information about themselves, and discuss struggling with weight loss on paleo, how to find the right carbohydrate intake for you, and the best paleo-friendly travel snacks.Be sure to check back every Tuesday for a new episode, and head over to iTunes or Stitcher to subscribe!Show notes can be found on Paleo for Women at paleoforwomen.com/episode1, or on Coconuts & Kettlebells at coconutsandkettlebells.com/episode1.Got a question you'd like us to answer?
