Hi All;

I am new to the Primal Blueprint. I have been at it for a couple of weeks. I'm just trying to find an active group. It looks like many of these posts are from 2011. Please chime in if you are still active here and feel free to add me too. :)

    I check in here fairly frequently, log daily, and am mostly primal rather than strictly paleo. Welcome!

    I am someone who recently had to switch to a diet very similar to primal because of my disabilities and doctor's recommendation. I am still trying to learn how to cook so it has been very interesting to try out all these different recipes from websites. The food processor has become my best friend. :D

    There must be some zombie posts. It's not the most active group I'm in, but there are usually a few new posts or comments in a week.

    Okay, nice. I'll stick around. I guess PrimalPaleo people might not be inclined to use MFP since logging calories really isn't part of being Primal. I like the accountability and plus it keeps me mindful of my carb intake. I am currently trying to figure out my macros. I seem to be having decent results with 50/25/25.
    Have a great day!

    Are there any other "Paleo" themed groups to join? Maybe Gluten Free even, that are a little more active?

    As far as Paleo groups go, this group seems to be the most active, not sure about gluten free, but you can always search.

    I am on both, and the gluten-free group is definitely much less active.

    I am still here and also just started over. I set my macros at 50 fat, 30 protein and 20 carbs. So far that seems to be working for me as of my one day test. Haha
    I agree Karen, I need the accountability plus logging in also helps me track my sugar intake. I have notice when that number get too high I crave more.

    I started June 1, 2016 and have my macros at 50f 30p 20c. I have cut out all processed foods and grains so far.

    When you count 20-25 carbs is that from vegetables?
  • larrythepro

    It is from berries and vegetables.

    I just joined this group. I was paleo for a whole year, then I stopped, regretted it...gained weight. Now I'm back on paleo and am here. Hi everyone!

    New here, trying to lose my last 10 lbs and have been eating semi-clean for the past 2 years, but want to go Whole 30, then reintroduce grains/dairy slowly, and end up eating an 80/20 paleo/clean diet. I have PCOS and trying to rebalance my hormones. My husband is also a type 1 diabetic. Looking for more nutrient rich foods that don't wreck havoc on our bodies, paleo seems the way to go!

    I am back on MFP after being on a long hiatus. The general forums get to me so bad because of the conventional wisdom that people think passing on is so beneficial and it is not. At least not for us that have autoimmune diseases and endocrine disorders.

    HI Cheesy - are there other more active paleo/primal groups here? I'd check in more if there was more activity!

    Hi, yeah, active person here. Logging daily and all that. Bought into Sisson's guidelines about five years ago and it's going well. Anyways, it's pretty simple so I don't feel like there's a whole lot to say about it. Happy to help if I can though.

    Here and active! I've been paleo/primal since 2010. Had to go on mfp to start counting cals and watching macros after my daughter weaned from nursing to get back on point. Also on the low carb high fat group which is very active.. lots of keto folks but also some primal peeps too.

    Back after an absence. Am active in spurts. Logging now because I've gotten sloppy, gained weight, lost ground healthwise. I want to feel good again.
