F.A.Q.

Where are you from?
I live in Amsterdam, capital of the country where bread & cheese rule. Going Paleo/Primal/Keto here (so admitting bread is bad) is like cursing in church. Not to mention the love for potatoes here. So actually writing this blog could endanger my citizenship.


So, are you a certified dietitian?

Not yet, I'm about to complete my study Food Science & Weight Consultant.

How can I contact you?

Sure, you can drop a comment or tweet me. Spam belongs in a can, not on my blog or Twitter.

Are you a medical expert?

No, if you have medical problems, you should see your doctor. Really.

Are you strict Paleo?

No, I take from Paleo what works for me, I do eat dairy for example. And of course the cheats here and there, I don't worry too much about it :-)

Why do you have all those ads and productlinks on your blog?

Well, writing a blog doesn't pay the bills, and this is way to generate a tiny bit of money. Believe me, it's not that much at all. But, if you were me, you'd probably do it too. Plus, that money could help me when I possibly lose my citizenship ;-)

Besides, you don't have to click on them if you don't want to, or even buy the products.

Are all the recipes originally yours?

Some of them are, I just play around in the kitchen and see what happens. Others I found on other websites, but then I always post the original source.

Why do you tag recipes sometimes either Paleo, Primal or Keto?

If it is really Paleo, it's labeled Paleo. Sometimes a recipe contains a dairy product for example, something that is "allowed" in the Primal diet (read more about it here) Or, it's typically high fat, low carb, which makes it more Keto. So I mix things up a little, but everybody should decide for themselves what they are most comfortable with. 


Hey! You use Whey! That's like, not Paleo at all!
True, but then again I don't live in a cave, run around in Vondelpark to chase, well, a bird for dinner either. I know there are tons of Paleo fanatics out there who get really pissed off when a recipe is called Paleo when there is a non-Paleo item in it. I don't really care. Leave that ingredient out or replace it with a Paleo ingredient and move on.


Why the name CrossFit CatCave? 
I do CrossFit, eat like a Cavegirl, I have Cats. You get the idea.
