Paleo followers- HELP!

I'm anxiously awaiting the responses - thanks for asking this question!!

I am trying (and not succeeding too well) on this, but my favorite blog is www.paleoadventure.com -- total paleo food porn and she's SO active, it's inspiring to watch her eat, work out, etc. But I'd love some advice from other members too!

You should be able to use the search functionality to find Paleo groups.

My biggest tip when first starting out is to completely 100% purge your kitchen and pantry.

Keep the paleo/primal food... donate/trash the rest. If there is no "bad food" for you in the house, then it is impossible to cheat without leaving the house.

My entire family lives a paleo / primal lifestyle now for the past four months (22 June 2011) and in that time I have lost 84lbs, wife has lost 55lbs, and our athletic daughter has trimmed down 16lbs before dive season.

I've been eating Primal (similar to Paleo) for 4 months now, and I absolutely love it. I eat yummy, delicious, real food, and don't feel at all deprived... And the weight is melting off. Falling off. It's quite wonderful.

Just starting my Paleo lifestyle. Was hoping find some inspiration or good tips for sticking with it! Suggestions?

Freedom from food

Sleeping better

More Energy

No more aches and pains in my joints and muscles

Better moods

No more medications.

No more digestive issues such as heart burn or IBS.

You will discover tons of different blogs and websites. I adore my new Primal lifestyle. I will never go back

It's so good to see another newbie!!

Here is how I lost 25 pounds, one I think make it a goal to cut back on sugars. You might be taking so much sugars that you need to start reading lables. I first started reducing my sugar intake for a month and the weight starting coming off. Then I moved to talkling carbs, which means reducing them not eliminating them. I think most people are taking in hugh loads of carbs 200 to 300 grams a day so I started by reducing my intake after two months I had lost 10 pounds.

Google Gary Taubes he has a great book out there. I am reading the Paleo solution by robb wolf right now which might give you a better understanding of how eating paleo is benificial to your body. I have gone through a divorce and being umployed for 18 months but managed to stay on track by eating paleo. I could also advocate the divorce diet that took me down to my goal of 200 but I dont think you want that stress.

I also believe that logging all your food helps no matter what you eat. I made a hugh mistake by eating a snack that was given to me by a paleo follower but I come to find out that snacks has about 50 grams of carbs. I bet you I wont lose any weight today. Log your food no matter what diet you are on.

Finally let everyone here help you and support you.

Keep reading/researching. Some very good authors have been recommended in this thread -- there are a few other good ones. Go to amazon and do a search for "paleo diet".
Keep logging what you eat.
Follow your own path and what works best for you.

I agree. We are all tolerant of different foods.

Primal Body, Primal Mind by Nora Gedgaudas is another good book to read.

Bump. Really useful information.

Cows milk is for baby cows.

Nuts, Grains and Berrys are your friend.

If it didnt grow in the ground, piss on the ground or swing in the water dont eat it.

Good food does not come with a barcode and a box.

Awesome words to live by

If you feel yourself get hungry, grab the nearest insect or small animal, then eat it. If not, you aren't Paleo.
