hi everyone. Doctor recommended I stick to a paleo "lifestyle" to resolve some medical conditions. I'm looking for friends and motivation along my journey regardless if you're into paleo or not. Good luck to all!

Best wishes! You can do it. I have been reading on it all day--that and clean eating. I bought a book on paleo also. Pinterest has some awesome recipes for it. I am thinking that is the direction I need to take with my eating

Hello - I am going to try eating Paleo as well. I'm wondering about how to change my % of calorie amounts on this site. I've read some differing opinions on % of protein, carbs etc. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi guys! I am returning to MFP after a few months of thinking I didn't really "need" to record my daily food habits (umm, incorrect) - my husband and I have been eating Paleo (Approx 80-85% of the time) we will drink alcohol 1 or 2 days a week....obvs, NOT Paleo! Ha!) almost 1 year now. I have learned a LOT by doing so. I too am happy to receive some motivation from folks and help out where I can.

As for changing the % of calories in this app, I am unsure. I can say that recording a Paleo diet makes the pie chart fall heavily in the "fats" for sure - we snack on nuts, boiled eggs, and avocados - it is very easy to eat too many of these things so that is why we have returned to MFP.

Is this what you guys are finding when recording your Paleo diet in MFP?

There is a Primal/Paleo Support Group on this site if you are interested. Lots of great tips there.

I have been eating a Paleo style diet for years and love it but there are so many wonderful healthy options to choose from that it is easy to overeat. That is why I am here, to use the calorie counter. I want to find the healthy balance and lose those few extra kilos that I have gained from living the good life.

Hi, I'm new here as well and could definitely use motivation! I have been told by my Dr that I have to change my eating habits. I am just read g about paleo so I don't really know much about it yet. Add me as a friend, I will try to help!
