Hello all. I am Derek and I am new to the Paleo/Primal lifestyle. I started this about five days ago and although the first two or three days sucked I feel like I am getting into a groove and just starting to feel better overall. I am going to get my eating down over the next week and then add in exercise.

I do find that I am bored with breakfast and need to come up with some ideas. I guess I should order some cookbooks and stuff since it looks like i am going to embrace this new lifestyle.

I would really like it if some of you guys would add me as friends so I can learn from you and maybe you guys could even critique my diary? I need all the help I can get..we are in this together.

    http://pinterest.com has lots of recipes

    Awesome. Thanks for the websites. I guess maybe i lean towards primal since I am doing the dairy thing. Loving it so far though.

    I'm doing primal (also the dairy thing). I think the biggest thing for me is realizing that breakfast doesn't need to be breakfast. I love lazy nights of doing eggs and bacon for dinner, so why can't I do leftovers or lunch/dinner type stuff for breakfast? Switching it up makes it a bit funner and definitely more interesting.
