Introduction :)
Hi all! I stumbled upon marksdailyapple.com about a week ago and bought the primal blueprint kindle book a day later. I read through it pretty quickly and am now on day 2 of really following it. I'm excited! :) I thought I had always been a healthy eater by conventional wisdom of course. I was eating 1 gram of protein per…

Calorie Counting & the Primal/Paleo Lifestyle
Hey guys, I've been Primal for nearly 4 months now. I would just like to know your thoughts on calorie counting in line with your way of eating. Having read both Robb and Mark's book and speaking to people at various levels of Primal/Paleo, the general consensus is that you do not need to count calories. A general point…

Ugh.....
It really irritates me when I read on the web, or on MFP, or hear people talk about how individuals on the Paleo diet are being contradictory or inconsistant by using mdern technology..... WTF? When I told my friends about it, they asked me in a very condensending way if I was going to start wearing animal fur and stop…

Bored with food
I'm not too picky of an eater but just chewing and chewing of all this bland dry food is so unappetizing. I'm taking in around 900 calories a day on average because I have no desire to eat when I am hungry. How can I make it more edible for me? I also love cooking and making up recipes but sugarnspice says we should eat…

Pizza Tonight
Okay. I did this to myself. It's Friday (so I'm working) but the neighbors are coming over tonight for pizza (because they have kids and it's easy). I was just going to stop by Costco and get a couple. I need suggestions on what I should eat! Usually I'll eat the top off of one and then have a salad with chicken, but does…

Macros- How is yours set?
I accidently wiped out/reset my customized macro and of course it changed all my data for the last year. I am trying to put it back to primal/paleo standards. I now have it set at 25%Carb- 35%Protein - 45%Fat....does this sound right? Please note that I am now pretty much to my goal weight. My goal has been to eat my…

1/17 How do you get enough fiber?
I followed the paleo plan pretty strictly in the fall and I did start to lose some pounds but I found my digestive system could not handle it. I am much more regular when I have oatmeal a few days a week and beans as well. I always eat a lot of vegetables at lunch and dinner. I am not eating many grains now but am…

raw whipping cream
Anyone else tried raw whipping (or heavy) cream in their coffee or otherwise? I got some from a local store and it is very, very thick, much more so than I am used to with the organic stuff I usually buy. It also seems to have a slightly sour note to it (like yogurt) and I am wondering if this is normal? Or has my cream…

Anyway here also doing S.P.E.E.D.
Hi, I am fairly new to this group. I have been using a book called "S.P.E.E.D.:Evidence Based Weight Loss" and having incredible results which I could not get when I was doing either Atkins, or the Mediterranean Ketogenic Diet, or Primal alone. I am wondering if there is anyone else here who is also using this book to lose…

Just another perk of eating this way...
So I was on facebook this morning and I realized how many of my friends have been compaining about being sick...again and again... and again. Then I realized that I haven't been sick in about a year!! Ever since starting this lifestyle. I think that is a huge victory! Just wanted to share. :happy:

stupid people
So today at lunch my coworkers (some vegetarians) were talking about how Paula Dean's family should sue her for killing them with all the horrible food she makes. When I asked what their definition of horrible food was: "cooking with lard, and all that fat, no wonder she got diabetes". It was at this point that I wanted to…

Initial weight loss?
I am on day 3 of the leptin reset. I am feeling pretty dang good! I thought I'd go through a carb withdrawal, but it hasn't happened yet. So I'm curious how much you lost when you first switched to Primal/Paleo or did the leptin reset? I started on Monday at 263 and I was 259 today (I'm 5'5.5". It's been so encouraging!…

Sugar Snap Peas/Green Beans
Hi! I have another question (will likely have a ton heh) I know bean and bean type are no-nos because they can't be eaten raw...but what about sugar snap peas? You can eat those raw..but they are in the bean family..so I am a bit confuzzled...I was hoping they could be eaten because they are one of the few veggies that I…

Lack of hunger
Hi everyone. We just started eating primal this past Friday and I have a question. Me and my sister both have noticed a drastic change in our appetites and are no longer very hungry. I'm worried because I don't think to eat and I have to push myself to reach my calorie goal. I'm worried that I will cause my metabolism to…

Hello!
Hi! I'm new to the Primal/Paleo lifestyle, but I am very excited. I have no problem giving up grains, but my troubles will be with eating veggies as I dislike them. :) BUT I am going to do it...just going to get creative and sneak the veggies in. I have always loved the idea of living a simple, healthy life, so much that…

What condiments/sauces do you have on hand?
So what pre-made sauces do you have in the fridge ready to go most of the time? Just looking for some ideas and recipes to try. Thanks!

Ham and Bean Soup...
I love ham and bean soup. Tossing ham and beans with water in a crock pot and letting it simmer is the epitome of an easy meal. My question is, can I still have the broth and ham if I don't eat the beans?

Paleo Party Food
I have a Relay For Life event coming up next week and the planning committee has been asked to bring a finger food. I'd love to bring something Paleo compliant - partially to show people that eating like a caveman CAN be delicious, and because I'm gonna eat too! Do any of you have any suggestions of Paleo-friendly finger…

Super Foods
Hey all, we all know the importance of getting in super foods. My chiropractor turned me onto this Wuji Chlorella and it is awesome. I have been able to remove my raw multi-vitamin and replace it with the Wuji Chlorella. Thought I would pass this on to anyone that is interested. http://www.wujichlorella.com/
