Starting my Paleo Lifestyle Today!

Hi everyone, I'm not new to MFP (I have created a new account, though. New life, new name, etc. Fresh start!) Today is my first day of the Paleo lifestyle. I have been having some stomach issues and wanted to cut out gluten, then I rediscovered Mark Sisson's book on my kindle and decided I wanted to give it a whirl. For 30 days, I will go strict Paleo and see how I feel.

Been looking at recipes all day and am probably going to start a paleo recipe blog to keep myself entertained and pre-occupied, especially during the first few weeks.

Anyway, just wanted to say hi and maybe get some tips from those of you who have already been living this life!

    Hi :flowerforyou:

    I started eating primal about 2 months ago and have been loving it :smile: Send me a friend request if you'd like, I post support and try out new recipes too! For me, the first week or so was kind of brutal, but after that it was smooth sailing, so don't give up if it gets rough in the beginning. It will get much better!

    Hi there, Welcome to Paleo. I started leaning in to it in January by eliminating wheat and sugar and just started my first whole30 on March 4th (like Paleo, but no sugar at all)

    Here is a new site that was suggested by a fellow paleo friend with great recipes: http://www.thefoodee.com/
