Is there a good Primal food challenge list? ie one that will allow diary? The only other thing I'd "have" to have is caffeine. I have WAY too much stuff going on to fight that battle right now. Staying away from my bad foods will be enough of a challenge for now. Normally I do fairly well but I've been slipping a lot lately. A month challenge would be good for me.

Hi, I'm In!

I'll join in. July will be my month to fully drop beer. My only non-paleo food will be red wine, and sparingly.

Oops, today is the 1st of July! So, I had a Starbucks Latte with some vanilla syrup in it. I also had a Kind bar.. though that is probably not too bad since it was a fruit and nut bar. I'll be good for now on! I'm just going to try and follow Mark's challange as he details it here:

That will be more doable for me.

hey nice people!
I started a whole 30 today and i will be blogging about it so if anyone wants to add me feel free=)

I'm all in.

Good day. I eat primal, not paleo, because I can't give up on cheese. I didn't work out, but I felt in a really good and energetic mood.

Day 1 of Whole30 went awesome...looking forward to day 2!

OK Im in..slightly late to the party though oops. Am doing primal not paleo (cant do without the dairy!)..
I dont really have a problem sticking to the primal foods (with primal treats...) but I really need to watch my portions as got 10lbs to lose.

I'm totally cool with food diary spying. Then you guys can check up on my "boardline," foods. I"m not doing Whole 30 which is probably more cut and dry than just being "Primal." For example, Vita Coconut Water. I didn't even read the label, but I wanted something with calories since I forgot my lunch and the little food shop where I work didn't offer a lot of "safe" foods. So I had that and hardboild eggs. My dinner is leftover Chinese (it was expensive and I didn't want to toss it) but it's just meat and vegis, so hopefully they didn't cook it in anything too crazy. That will be gone and hopefully tomorrow I'll remember my lunch!

I don't mind sharing my food and exercise diary; feel free to add me.

Whole30 day 3: Feeling general malaise. Went for a 6-mle run this morning and only did 5, and at a slower-than-normal pace. Will get in a second short run after work to make up for it. Doing great with the food, though.

I had unflavored yogurt with a small amount of added berries this morning, remembered my lunch (salad), and brought nut/raisin trail mix with some "Paleo" crunchies (mostly nuts as well). So, I should be good. Now I just have to figure out what to have for dinner. Probably more Primal friendly taco salad so I can eat up the meat while it's still good.

So, my day should be good and primal with exception of the dressing since I still haven't made my own. Tomorrow I have the day off so I will probably play around with some homemade primal friendly salad dressing recipies.

Day 4: so far so good on whole 30. I am also following the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) to reduce body inflammation. Bread is my addiction; so I am replacing it with buttercup, spaghetti squash or acorn squash. I need to increase my good fats however; so working on that.
