in Motivation and Support
Since we reached 500 post the other thread is locked, so I thought I would start a new one.

To all the haters this is not a debate thread about Paleo, there are other threads to do that on. This is for people that are already doing Paleo/Primal/caveman/low carb diets or those interested in learning more about them.

    Thanks for starting a new thread! It does automatically make a new one though. but I'm happy to have a new one since it's haunting me that I spelled Paleo wrong in the last one ;) lol

    Replying so I can find the new thread! Still going steady on Primal / Paleo / whatever (I'm eating Greek yogurt and having a daily protein shake, so call it what you will). Stuck at a mini-plateau for 3 weeks, so I'm staying off the scale until Friday. I still have plenty to lose, and I've been pretty much on track with minor indulgences (wine usually) on the weekend. I might try scaling back my macadamia nuts (sob!). If someone wants to look at my diary please friend me - I'm open to suggestions!

    Ok so I'm an idiot, didn't know MFP would auto start a new thread "part 2" when it locked the old one. We can let this one die and stay on the other one.

    Awesome. Thank you! We Paleo People do need the support. I will be sure to check this regular as opposed to the last one where I fell way behind.

    Ok Ok Ok I might probablyy be kicked out of this group now!

    Well I was ill, stomach flu or something then my aunt passed away. In the first few days I barely ate ... THEN I sabotaged myself by pigging out on breads and cinnamon rolls. YEA, I kept telling myself to stop BUT I just kept on eating. I never realized until now that I eat when I have emotional problems. Now 2 weeks has passed, I felt fine with the death I have accepted it. But my body feels like crap of course due to my binge or whatever you want to call it. So I need someone out there to give me a BIG Ol' swipt kick in the butt so I get back in gear. Motivation needed!!! I feel like sh$t to failing ... but I still have enough motivation to get back on the backwagon !!! Where are my Paleo Primal Ppl at?

    I just started paleo fully yesterday. Though I did eat a tiny bit of cheese both yesterday and today, oh well. I have subscribed to the idea that fat is good for you for a while, but it has just been recently that I have discovered all of the bad news about grains, wheat in particular, so I decided to give paleo a shot. I am immediately impressed with the quantity of food that I can fit into a day without grains.

    My wife is still on the fence, she says she is going to try it, but doesn’t want to give up milk. I haven’t dug up any significantly bad information on milk especially since we buy organic grass-feed whole milk and I don’t want to push her into it. My 2yr old daughter also loves milk. So is anyone doing this with kids and converted a resistant spouse?

    Paleo and loving it. I've lost 8.6 lbs in a month. lost 6 1/4 inches. not starving. I miss the bread and cheese...but I'm feeling SO much better!!! tennis elbow gone. carpal tunnel gone. dry skin....going away. hair and nails super strong. i know it will take me about a year to get down to my goal weight...but i figure if i keep eating this way, i'll get used to it and keep it going after I get to my goal weight. A huge change from my carb-heavy diet...but its nice not having to worry about a starch for dinner. :-) GO TEAM PALEO!!!!

    I'm new around here, and found this via a Google search. Is there another paleo thread, or is this it?

    Also has anyone tried to start a paleo support group in person? I am thinking of trying it but I'm not sure what kind of response I would have.

    I'm starting to eat Paleo again after about 6 months of "fallen off the wagon". I'm wondering if anyone knows good nutrient guidelines (for fibre, fat and protein intake) so I can program my goals accordingly. I really don't like seeing all that red, even though I know fat and protein intake for the Paleo diet is normally much higher than the regular "dieting" guidelines.

    Hi all, I'm trying a 60/40 or 70/30 Paleo. It is extremely hard because:

    1) I adore pasta, cream, and butter
    2) Vegetables make me feel bloated and sick
    3) I am getting really tired of eating bananas / fruit / nuts for every snack

    The reason I'm doing it because this method of eating is closest to my personal, ethically-accepted way of eating which is to stay away from chemicals and fake food as much as possible. Also weight is not so much an issue as general "Mommy flab" and against my personal old-school beliefs, I'm willing to forego the grains. But I gotta tell you.... so far this sucks. And I hate to diet. I'm hoping all of this helps me get a more defined core and more importantly help me clear my acne prone skin.

    My question right now is, what are some paleo-friendly snacks that do not require (too much) cooking and are NOT fruit or nuts???

    I started the "Whole 30" on April 1. I'm on day six and in the throws of horrible sugar cravings, irritability and lethargy (or commonly known as "Carb Flu"). I've been eating more as the program suggests, but I feel weak and awful. I feel bad for my husband and child as I am definitely not my best self. I need some advice, love to get over this stage of the program. Anyone?
