About me

Gender Female
Location Auckland, New Zealand
Introduction I'm Lana. I'm a 30 year-old female, living in New Zealand, and studying towards a PhD in Health Psychology. Boring. Here's the good stuff...

I like to workout. I do this thing called CrossFit and I practice taekwon-do (hence the 'ninja' part). I also love food. A lot.

Now the thing with loving food but also loving training, is that you need to figure it out so that your nutrition supports (or even better, optimises) your training. Which is where paleo/primal eating comes in. This is new(ish) to me but it's made a huge difference to my body composition, to my energy levels, and to my training. So I'm going with it. Luckily, I also like to experiment in the kitchen, which is why I've been encouraged (persuaded/coerced/whatever you want to call it) to start this blog. I usually 'freestyle' in the kitchen, adding stuff until it tastes good...but freestyling doesn't help you guys much, it won't help with trying to 'Zone' our diet, and it annoys the hell out of my mum when she asks for a recipe! So I'm going to give it a shot.

Bear with me as I experiment with primal, with zone, with blogging, and with measuring…
