Whole 30 - November Challenge (Closed Group)

Hey there everyone.

Sorry if I offended anyone.

I just want what is best for everyone. Personally for me, I have to stick to it on the straight and narrow because of my health conditions.

Maybe I am not the one that needs to be leading this group. I will find a replacement and graciously bow out.

Who wants to take over leading the group?

Thanks and have a great day.

I think you should stay on as leader. I think it's an awesome idea to just have everyone set their own goals that they want to hit for the month and use this thread to be accountable.

I agree! And to share ideas...NSVs...etc.

I managed to get 50 grams of protein within 45 minutes of waking..

Can someone remind me why you should eat protein so quickly in the morning? I've heard it before...Is it because your body burns it up so quickly? I am certainly all about eating breakfast, I know how important it is, but I usually don't want to eat until like 1.5-2 hours after waking, once I get to work. If my body is just going to burn up the protein so quickly in the morning, why can't I just not eat it, and wait until I am hungry for it?

Thanks!

It is for the leptin reset to reset my metabolism strict paleo with 50 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking.. some of us are doing it but you certainly don't have to meet the 30 day challenge... paleo/primal rules state eat to hunger.. many people like IF- intermitten fasting.. so they naturally skip breakfast.. justt do what feels right for you.

grokette. you are our mod and leader. let the newbies read and learn, don't take negativity personally. If someone says they can't, that's their problem. You and I know, can't is a word that just isn't polite on our thread. lol, no biggie. But keep your chin up, paleo is a wol that many (including me until August) just can't see themselves doing.

I used to think that this was something you did to get cut before a show. Wow, was I wrong. Paleo is a wol for health. You know it, I know it. Eventually, others will know it. No amount of begging or apologizing to someone to research and commit to the guidelines is worth the stress. We can help, but we just have to be good at that. Our testamonies and experiences will help allot of people. That's so worth sticking around.

Newbies,
we only ask that you commit to doing your best if you say you are joining us. The Oldtimers here like me who've done this for at least one full month are sharing what has worked for us and we don't mind assisting you in your paleo journey.

Newbies
need to look at the paleo guidelines before commiting. That's all we ask. Don't make us crazy (should I, shouldn't I?, what to do? I guess I won't....) we don't like it when you make us crazy. I don't like it when you make my mod crazy. :sad:

Please stay off posting in our closed group if you are not yet a group members. How do you become a member? Read the paleo 30day guidelines, and if you are ready to set your goals and have a support system here, post that you are joining, introduce yourself and be ready for some fun.

Please consider reading the October paleo 30 thread

completely for information before joining here, so you are informed and have a bit of a vibe to what we are doing here. If you have been in communication with me or another member, welcome. If you are a serious lurker, welcome. If you are wishy washy and think this is a fad diet, hmmmm, this may not be the group you want to join but you are welcome to read the posts to learn more about paleo. There is tons of info. available in last month's thread.

For the hard core Paleo, Grok On!

Thanks! As I told Grokette, I'll give this a try and see if it impacts my hunger levels throughout the day...worth a shot!

I second or third this as well and remind everyone that the written word may not sound the same when you read it as what the writer intended.

help,

how to pan fry safely.

I'm just now getting into pan frying my chicken or meats. I prefer full frying or just baking. Last night I fried up some yummy chicken legs in bacon fat from last week's bacon, and the fat was spitting allot. Burned my face with one of the pops. What's up with that? Is there a safer way to pan fry? I used a deep pot. Maybe holding up a screen as I turn the legs? Any advice would be helpful. - BWB.

I would temporarily remove the pan from the heat when you want to turn food, I have found that to be helpful. As an extra measure, you can hold up the pot lid as a shield.

BWB, like jamk1446, i also remove the pan from heat for about 30 seconds, listen to check if the oil has mellowed a bit and then remove the lid. I also like wearing long sleeves and using my oven baking mitts as "gloves" to prevent oil from splattering on my hand
