  • <~~~~~ Paleo princess!!!! :-) Yep it makes you feel like a million bucks! I'm going to start the sugar detox on mon, which basically looks paleo except no fruit either, and a few other minor differences. There is a whole group of people under "Groups" just type in Paleo and you will find them! There are several groups actually, I joined the one that had the most members......

    Hi There I am on my second day as Paleo - so far so good!! Would also love to connect with other Paleo/Primal peeps
  • I am! I've just started doing super strict Paleo... I love it.
  • Hey ALL! Paleo has been a great journey for me so far! There some great sites out there!!! Here are some to name a few:

    Paleoplan.com - great for making shopping lists!
    nomnompaleo.com - great ideas... I made sweet potatoe fries last night, SO good!

    Paleo really changes your mind set on what foods to eat while enjoying it!

    Cheers,

  • What's the difference between paleo and super strict paleo?
  • I was on Atkins for a year and a half and lost over 50 lbs. but I had been stalled for nearly a year with no weight loss. I went on a Whole30 and just came off of it. This grandma is feeling great, more energetic, and I've started walking a mile a day on a graveled road in soft-soled shoes. Great foot massage! I'm also noticing the sights and scents all around me that I used to ignore, such as a heron standing in the pond, the smell of honeysuckle, and the numerous small game trails through the underbrush. Better still, I've dropped five pounds. It's good to see the scale moving down again but paleo is about so much more than just that. I'm turning off the TV and computer early and listening to easy music before bed, getting eight hours of sleep a night, and enjoying small amounts of Atkins-forbidden fruits. I no longer wear a hat outdoors but catch all the sun rays I can. My husband and I have rediscovered the playfulness in life that can get sucked dry by a modern lifestyle.
    I'm embracing the primal lifestyle and loving every moment of it.
