hi all, been on here a while now and have a good MFP support, but none of my pals eat like I do! It'd be awesome to have some wheat/grain/gluten free pals who eat a more primal diet like I do

I recently created my MFD accounted and added my fit bit device to monitor activity levels. So while I am new to this application I have actually been abiding to the paleo/primal diet for a little over a year. If you need help with anything let me know!0

I'd like to add you as a friend here. I think supporting each other making good primal choices would be really helpful ☺️0

Feel free to add me. I've been eating primal/paleo for 4 months. Logging food diligently for one month here. Once I heal from my back injury I would LS like to incorporate more functional movement like what Mark Sisson lays out in the book Primal Blueprint.0

There's a paleo group here. If I understood how to search for groups I'd link it for you.0

Going on almost 3 years now.0

Hi.
I'm trying to be paleo. But there are sine days when I'm giving up. It's very hard to do it on your own.0 -
I have been Primal/Paleo since 2010 and would love to have more MFP friends who eat this way.0
-
I am currently but don't know that I will continue totally paleo but will stick pretty close...feel free to add me. I am, and have been for years, totally gluten free though...0

Yes I eat strict Paleo about 99% of the time - have been since the first of September. I have lost about 35 lbs since then, and I feel GREAT physically and mentally. I will probably eat this way the rest of my life. It gets me back in the kitchen, keeps me motivated, and keeps me more conscious of where my food is coming from.0

Hello all!
I started out with Whole30 and then moved to Paleo and now do a combo of Paleo/clean eating. LOL
Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like. I love chatting with other people who are doing the same thing. Love new ideas and recipes.0 -
I've been leaning to primal for a while and started the Primal Blueprint 21 day challenge this week. I'll send you a friend request.0

Not trying to be a troll or be anti - a genuine question. When you consider that many plant foods would not have left fossil evidence and we could be led to believe that paleo and other ancestral species ate mainly flesh food because of the evidence left by bone fossils, how can we really know what Paleo or any of those precursors to modern man really ate?
- any evidence? What about all the vegetable matter that our ancestors could have eaten that are simply not evidenced in fossil records?
- my logic is that it would have been much simpler and less calorifically expensive to simply gather plants and fruits and hunt for insects and small mammals than to hunt larger faster beasts. It wouldn't have made sense to go running after a bigger animal when there might be insects and slower critters to hand.0 -

fact is that the "paleo" diet is has absolutely nothing to do with how paleolithic people ate...1 -

2. Cut out the things you are allergic to.
3. Block out the noise. Become a critical thinker.2 -

My thoughts precisely. However if you can achieve your goals doing it then good for you.0 -

Well, you may want to read a book first. Alternative approaches to nutrition (paleo, vegan, LCHF, etc) require some preliminary homework.1
