Livefyre comments didn’t work as well as I had hoped, and so we’ve gone back to WordPress comments. I apologize for any confusion or difficulties.

Back to normal blogging!

The new comment system, from Livefyre, will be installed Wednesday morning. While comments are being transferred from WordPress to Livefyre, comments may be unavailable. The process should take a few hours. Thanks for your patience!

Evan Brand is an interesting young man who tries to spread the gospel of natural living at Not Just Paleo. We met at PaleoFX and have now done a podcast: Check it out here.

In case you missed it, earlier this month I had a great conversation with Pete Cohen, the Weight Loss Guru. He’s based in the UK and it was a pleasure to talk to him, especially as we put the finishing touches on the UK edition of our book. That podcast is here.

Next, something new: Caressa Santella Neary has set up a Perfect Health Diet Facebook group. It’s become so active in just a few days that I can’t keep up with posts, but I can tell you it’s a great group of people. If you go to the group page you’ll find a “Join Group” link in the upper right.

Finally, something on its way: Thanks to help from Wout Mertens (thanks Wout!), we’re exploring a move to Livefyre as a commenting system. This is one step in a general effort to have better integration to social media including Twitter and Facebook, an improved ability to search comments, faster page loading, and a better experience on mobile devices like phones.

This post will provide an opportunity to test out the new system. Give the new comment system a try on this post and let me know your thoughts!

We’re going to include a short recipe section in the U.S. paperback edition, to be released in December, and probably also the U.K. edition, to be released in the fall.

We thought it would be fun to acknowledge some of our great reader-cooks by including reader recipes in the book.

So if you have a favorite PHD recipe and are willing to see your name in the next edition of Perfect Health Diet, please leave your recipe (or a link to one on the Recipes page comment thread) and a sentence explaining why you like the recipe so much.

Recipes must be received by May 1. We’ll decide which ones will be in the new edition on May 3. Thank you!

P.S. — A friend of PHD cooking, Russ Crandall, who blogs at The Domestic Man, is up for Best Special Diets Blog at Saveur. Please go vote for him!
