That I LOVE PALEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So many people are amazed that I just carry around beef jerky in my purse/car and stocks of veggies on my desk next to healthy fruit! I eat bacon every friggin day and have never had such GREAT bloodwork numbers! I crossfit every day! I love this life style. I have struggled tremendously staying on it in the beginning thanks to many years of horrible eating habits. But all that matters is today

I LOVE PALEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anywhere in particular that you get your jerky? I'm looking for places to get good stuff without all the fillers, but that isn't going to kill my budget. I'm actually thinking I might just bite the bullet and try to make my own. I love the stuff for snacking but it's surprisingly hard to find around me.

I bought a 60.00 dehyrator(bed bath and beyond) and make my own. Its actually really easy..

I make turkey jerky and my husband adores it It is a great way to use the breast, and it leaves the rest of the turkey for roasting for the bone broth and cool Dino-drumstick supper for my 6 yo.

grass-fed or pasteurized meat, chickens & eggs, wild salmon and copious non-starchy vegetables raw or cooked in coconut oil, rendered lard or butter. We also allow for nuts & hard raw organic cheese. My folks eat tubers, fruit and full-fat dairy as well, while I do not.

I've started wrapping everything in kale instead of a tortilla when I am in a hurry and can't cook. And sometimes, just because it is good.

I have been paleo for just over a month and measured today:
I lost 11 centimeters off my hips
8 off my stomach
4 off each thigh
1 off each upper arm -

I lost 11 pounds eating the same number of calories I ate eat day for the last 10 months or so without losing. AND I feel fantastic. I passed my goal and am now upping my calories to find a place I am comfortable.

A calorie is not just a calorie. An chemical is not real food. Welcome to the tribe!

So easy to make your own in the oven...we have this - http://www.amazon.com/Nesco-BJX-5-American-Harvest-Jumbo/dp/B001795P3K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1347996768&sr=8-1&keywords=jerky+press

works great - we grind up meat (venison my husband has hunted) and add in some spices...we don't use the cure (if you don't you just have to store it in the fridge) - we simply use an oven safe rack to press the jerky out and put it in a low heat oven for a few hours

You can also get some good beef and slice it thin, marinate it (for soy like sauce use Coconut aminos) and spice it and use your oven at a low temp to jerky it
if you look back I know there was a big thread about making your own

To those who want to jump into paleo bc of the meat, don't think you can just go to town. There is a limit to how much you should be eating lol BUT GRUB ON MY PALEOITES!!!!
Oh yes, and as many have pointed out, Home made jerky is SUPER easy. You can even do it with some air vent house filters and a box fan! So good too... oh man so good...

Just eat those damn veggies too

Live long and prosper

I remember when Alton Brown did that on an episode of Good Eats! Very cool! I think I need to eat more jerky. I never really had it before but I know it's a good protein source and something I can take with me if I need a snack. My dh is into jerky so convincing to make our own shouldn't be hard. He actually owned a food dehydrator years ago but I think I made him get rid of it when we move from NY to NC. Oh well.
