in Motivation and Support
I hope we can start A group here that is welcoming and supportive, even to non Paleo ways of eating.
I was until recently a vegan for the past 4 years. 1 shed over 150 pounds, but hit a Plateau for six months, in fact my weight fluctuated. Choosing Paleo was a hard choice, for a number of philosophical reasons. Yet my weight is down 188.9 pounds. Going completely organic. Removing all sugar substitutes, processed foods, grains, dairy products, caffeine, and beans including peanuts has helped greatly. I am no longer suffering joint pain or gastric issues. I have an abundant energy and my workouts, strength and Endurance have improved. I'm looking here for supportive friends to share my journey with here. Thank you

    Go paleo!! I cannot eat beef, so I kept the beans, but I think that a diet centered around veg, with bits of organic meats is absolutely the way to go. Cannot seem to find enough time to take it to true next level (aka baking my own almond flour/tapioca breads, pizza dough) but hope to get there eventually. I am not chatty on MFP, but go you!!

    I'm going to paleo. Slowly giving up some processed foods I'm still eating. Plan on going fully paleo hopefully by the end of this month. I don't want to stress myself out. I love milk but I'm allergic to it and processed foods hurt me really bad. Time to change for my health. Feel free to add me. This is my first day so I'm in need of friends.

    Hello larrythepro. It was life changing for me. I only struggled a bit with dairy and artificial sweetener's. But now don't miss them, helped I move to herbal teas.

    I still have moments as my vegan diet was and is tied to my philosophical practice. I don't over indulge.

    Hello. One step at a time works. I myself just jumped in the deep end. I look at my health rather then what I'm losing in the way of foods.
