Artie Stevens IV

• Artie Stevens IV is a Christian, husband, father, chef and a CrossFitter who loves to connect with people through great food. After his wife, Erica, and he participated in their first Paleo challenge, it was clear that there was a need for people to be able to get real food with convenience. They kicked around the idea of offering a paleo service so that people would be able to branch out past the usual chicken and broccoli. Right after Stevens got married in March of 2012, Artie’s Paleo OnTheGo was born, and it has been expanding ever since.

Artie’s Paleo OnTheGo

• Artie’s Paleo OnTheGo is a service that is being provided in the Indianapolis area for people who desire to fuel their temple. Stevens believes that the key to eating healthy is just as much about application as it is knowledge. The Paleolithic diet (aka paleo diet) is centered on commonly available modern foods, the “contemporary” Paleolithic diet consists mainly of fish, grass-fed pasture raised meats, vegetables, fruit, roots, and nuts, and excludes grains, legumes, dairy products, salt, refined sugar, and processed oils.
