Palelo Support Group?

Just driving by to say "HI".... getting ready to take a vacation later this week so work is hell with all the "prep" for being gone.... :grumble:

Planning on making some "floopsie bread" tonight and then making sandwiches to take with us Thursday when we travel... after that it's "best judgment" as everything will be eaten out. :noway:

Have fun on your trip! Are you going to New Orleans? That should be relatively easy to stay on track - just get in lots of seafood and salads / veggies!

Anyone here read Omnivores Dillema? I was reading a thread about nutrition books and this one kept coming up. So did the China study, which I know about. Just wondering if this is another hack book or something worth reading.

I really like Michael Polan. Like Labgirl mentioned, he strongly advocates eating local and sustainable for meat, fruits and veggies.

I don't like the China Studay - very judgemental...........

Yep! We're staying in the Quarter for 4 nights... I love seafood but I NEED a PoBoy... oh and all the alcohol that will be consumed..... :embarassed:

I'm so highly pissed right now. I wish I could just afford to stay home with DJ and him not be in daycare! How about my daycare owner told me yesterday that she is "required" to give DJ cereal when he turns 4 months (friday). that's its in their guidelines to feed them certain things, and she has to give them cereal in the morning and at lunch. in their bottle! i am so pissed. i'm going to the doc friday and i'm going to see what she thinks and get her to give me something in writing! it's my child! and i should be able to say what he eats! not some book the daycare lady has!

I totally understand what your saying and agree with you.

Doing so can do PERMANENT damage to their digestive tracks.

Feeding him cereal before his body is ready for it will NOT make him sleep through the night and will NOT fix reflux. In fact, babies are supposed to wake up often, it prevents Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS.) Feeding solids too early to artificially make her do anything can hurt your child.

Giving your baby solids, including rice cereal too early, can lead to obesity, allergies, and a bunch of other problems–including a link to Crohn’s disease.

Their tummies are totally to young to be able to handle it.
Once your baby is more than 6 months old, they can sit in a high chair and be fed with a spoon. Until then, milk is all she needs.

Yes, get your doctor to put it in writing. I have never heard anything like that before!!!

Well, that is just asinine.

Had a little bet with my mom who is in town this week. Yesterday I found berries on sale for 98c a carton. STEAL! I proceeded to go bezerk and get a ton. Ma started having a fit about how she couldn't believe how much pure sugar I put in the cart & carrying on about how bad it was for my blood sugar. I tried to explain that I believe the body treats natural sugars differently than, say, a candy bar. So I tested my sugar this morning before breakfast, then had a bowl of raspberries and cream, and retested 2 hours later. My sugar only went up by 10. AHAHAHA! I win bet.

Hey Pyro! I've read alot of posts you've made, I've kinda been stalking you for a couple days, sorry but I checked out the websites you offered too. I've read alot on it. Alot of the versions differ! The reason I started it is b/c a doctor at a weight loss clinic put my friend on a version of the diet. So I thought I would try it with her. The more research I do on it, the more I like the "idea" of it. I'm sure I won't be 100% either, but I really need to get off the carbs and sugars. My cravings are horrible, and my only reason for failure!

If I could get a few friends on here that are doing it, we could always keep opening a new one. I do that with another group I've been in for over a year. but it would be nice to have some friends that are eating the way I eat.

I have created a forum for all of us that embark on "alternative plans" to include all forms of low carb, Paleo and HCG plans. I created the forum last year and a few people joined and we were talking, but them everyone came back here............

I will send the link via a private message if anyone wants to join. We can all speak more freely...........

My only rule is to allow each of us to have our say and we can agree, disagree and whatever, but respect our different opinions and approaches.

Hi! I started the paleo way of eating friday of last week and LOVE IT! I had already cut out dairy almost 3 weeks before (I am breastfeeding and my son was very constipated, which shouldn't be happening when exclusively breastfeeding). I did some research and found that milk proteins can get into breastmilk and cause children to have reactions (constipation being one of them). I came across the paleo WOE as a result. I feel amazing. I have so much energy, am SO much more patient with my two kids (just turned two and 5 month old boys), am way less moody and emotional (after a lifetime of depression and being on and off antidepressents) and have lots a significant amount of weight for it being only a week. Food even tastes better. I went cold turkey though. I am just that kind of person. I cut all dairy (for littlest man at first), refined sugar, and grains. I have no cravings, I never go hungry. Love ♥

My son who has been soooo dramatic and tantumy lately is even much more even tempered and although he was already sweet, he is even sweeter and more snuggly. Also he is MUCH better at listening to me. My husband althoug not as strict as me (he doesn't want to waste what was left in the house but has agreed to give this a try) has lost weight just from eating what I have been making. I also make his lunches for work. He is LOVING the food!

I thought I would share some helpful resources I found. I don't know if any of these have been shared as I haven't read all the responses. (There are a lot!)

A really wonderful and helpful forum. The people are so friendly! www.cavemanforum.com
Recipes! Everything I have made from this site has been amazingly delicious! She uses some dairy (grassfed or clarified butter) and other things but they are easy to substitute if needed. She is also coming out with a cookbook soon! www.everydaypaleo.com
I made these a bit ago and they were really good! I haven't made anything else there yet but the stuff looks great! http://gavanmurphy.com/pulled-pork-wrap/

Welcome on board, it's nice to see our little group growing. Feel free to share any links, recipes or just how your day is going, we are a pretty laid back group. If you haven't been there yet marksdailyapple.com is great too.

Thanks for the welcomes! I love finding other paleos

Grass fed/finished beef. What are you guys/gals seeing in the way of pricing. Right now there are severial people on craigslist here in Denver area advertising around 5$ per pound for a 1/4 beef, cut, wraped and ready to pick up. This sounds pretty good to me, just wanted to see how it compares.

Hey guys, here is the link to the site I created................Come on over and join me!!!
