Fear pasta lovers, fret not: there’s plenty of Paleo substitutes for pasta – one of the tastiest being spaghetti squash. Easily roasted and then scraped with a fork, spaghetti squash is rich in flavor and nutrition and, yep, tastes pretty close to its namesake pasta cousin.
Beyond pasta, though, spaghetti squash is massively versatile. It works great as a Paleo binder in casseroles, as a bed for limitless sauces and stews, as a vegetable on its own in salads and stir-fries, and more. Below, we’ve catalogued lots of Paleo spaghetti squash recipes – so many, in fact, that you’ll never grow bored of the squash.

I bet you can’t guess which muscle in your body is the #1 muscle that eliminates joint and back pain, anxiety and looking fat. This “hidden survival muscle” in your body will boost your energy levels, immune system, sexual function, strength and athletic performance when unlocked.

In April, 2009, researchers stunned the medical community when they reported chronic inflammation as the root cause of several major diseases.
See, every year 610,000 people in the U.S. die of heart disease. Cancer claims another 584,000...stroke 130,000...Alzheimer's disease nearly 85,000 — and the list goes on.
Truth is, we now know... chronic inflammation is responsible for 7 out of the top 10 leading causes of death in the United States! Hundreds of studies and scientific reviews prove it.
Fortunately, newer research shows you can prevent-even reverse-most major diseases by "turning off" inflammation. And in our new book, we show you how to do just that.
