    Off topic a little but favorite paleo recipie- canned wild salmon is affordable and very paleo. I add an egg and mix with maybe a little coconut or almond meal - then I make little patties that I cook in a pan coated with a little coconut oil. Non-paleo folks agree these are very good salmon patties. Serve with some steamed brocoli, lemon wedges and grass fed butter.

    Apparently you are all already friends, so it was all kind of in good fun, but, how was I to know? Look at it from the eyes of a stranger not privy to that. I just didn't want some lady I don't know getting cat called on my thread. No big deal, like I said, I don't really care.

    That is the problem................they aren't making the comments in good fun.

    They are doing it as a way to belittle and start crap on any Paleo / Primal threads.

    I wish people wouldn't come and interject nonsense into a thread where people are actually trying to learn and conversate with one another about a particular topic.

    OP, please feel free to friend me.

    Actually, they are my friends and yes they were joking. Their jokes had nothing to do with belittling your precious lifestyle. OP and I already talked about it. So once again, don't come flying in and go about slinging mud. I posted links to paleo groups, even though I stated that I don't agree with it.

    Your argument is invalid.

    I won't come back into this thread now that you're in here because every time you show up, threads turn to crap.


    Op, as I've already said through PMs , best of luck to you!

    No, it is not because of me that threads turn to crap. And, frankly I don't care if they are your "online" friends or not.

    I am sick of people that don't agree with this lifestyle coming in and NOT CONTRIBUTING CONSTRUCTIVELY to the conversation at hand. That is just ignorance.

    People don't come into the other mainstream threads and make comments that have nothing to do with the topic.

    Now I'm starting to wonder if I am paleo-ish? I don't have any philosophical agendas or anything to prove, I just am curious. I have a digestive disorder that causes all kinds of inflammation and misery and my doctor's suggested an elimination diet. I learned that I can't eat red meat, pork, eggs, dairy, gluten and some legumes. So I mostly eat fish, birds, nuts, seeds, rice, tubers, vegetables and fruit. Is that paleo? Most of my food is cooked from scratch and comes with minimal to no processing. Kinda sounds like paleo a little.

    I think when they refer to whole foods, they are not talking about the store, Whole Foods. They are referring to foods being as close to their natural, whole state as possible, rather than being broken down, processed and refined. :flowerforyou:

    I don't understand the paleo diet, it makes no sense. You are trying to eat like a cave man.... erm why? I get it if you have sugar issues and starchy carbs bother your system don't eat them, or you are lactose intolerance don't do milk, gluten allergy you should stay away from bread. Besides specific issues with specific types of food, paleo is just a complicated diet that I see as a game of "pretend I'm a cave person".

    You should always try to avoid processed food, cause it has who knows what in it. You should avoid food that upsets your body, obviously. However most people do fine on most natural foods. Trying to do these gimicky diets makes it harder for you to stick to A diet. Moderation and healthy food choices with a few treats now and then to keep you happy is the key to long term dieting.

    P.S. I read the Primal Blueprint and it made me want to kill myself.

    I have done 4 days of Paleo. I feel better, brain fog is gone. I am really hungry though. I am eating tons of veggies and plenty of protein. Will that unsatisfied hungry feeling go away eventually? Can I eat sweet potatoes?

    WHen I found out I was allergic to dairy I went looking for reciepies of things I could eat and found a paleo website. Curious I read over all the information and decided to give it a try. I feel 100% better, I don't crave sugar or chips or crap anymore, my joints don't hurt anymore and I have lots of energy.

    It may not be for everyone, but there is nothing wrong with a paleo diet if that is what you want to do. It works for me so I am sticking with it, and man did I used to be a carbaholic...strange how I no longer miss it.

    I totally recommend paleo eating! I began it when I found out at age 27 that I am allergic to dairy, wheat, and soy!! I cannot even express how amazing I feel. I will eat paleo for the rest of my life!! Oh, and I have lost 40lbs since November (when I went paleo).

    I went Primal (90/10) two years ago, lost 70 lbs. in a year, and resolved my GERD/acid reflux/heartburn in the process. I used MFP's calorie guidelines, ate back exercise calories, and kept carbs to less than 100g/day. I walked and did a lot of gardening and yardwork for exercise. There is so much good food that I CAN eat (and enjoy cooking from scratch), that cravings for the stuff I shouldn't have pretty well disappeared.

    In addition to marksdailyapple.com, I recommend the book "Wheat Belly" by William Davis, MD, for a very understandable explanation of how and why wheat consumption, in particular, is so hard on our bodies.
