Coconut Yogurt
Has anyone here tried making their own Coconut Yogurt? How is it overall? Are taste (somewhat) and texture comparable to dairy yogurt?

Packed lunch suggestions
We are off to watch the Rugby 7s in the Commonwealth games tomorrow. Due to security precautions at all the sporting venues we can't take a cool box for our lunch and we will have to pack everyone separately. We can also only take a max of 500 ml liqueid (means we will have to buy some stuff there anyway. Due to cost and…

Looking for MFP paleo friends/support!
I cut out grains and sugar from my diet in March. I definitely wouldn't say that I'm completely Paleo, because I drink a splash of whole organic milk in my coffee each morning. Oh, yeah, and I still drink alcohol. I find myself constantly slipping on the weekends. We live a very social life and spend most summer weekends…

Traveling on Paleo-SFO
So I am going to be traveling to several cities across the US for work this year, and would love to stop by local restaurants in each city and try the local Paleo fare! I have seen some great stuff on Instagram for some of these cities, but would love some suggestions from locals on the must try places, whether it be a…

Another 2 lbs. lost since yesterday!
I have lost another 2 lbs. since I weighed myself yesterday. I am sure that it is water weight, but I am still excited! I am reading the book "The Paleo Diet" by Loren Cordain, Phd. He says in his book that it is not uncommon for people who are obese ( people that have a BMI of 30 or greater), which is me, to lose up to 15…

Question about internal cleansing tablets
I was thinking about purchasing internal cleansing tablets. They are a 30 day cleansing system. Does anyone know anything about these cleanses or recommend this for paleo people? Do these cleanses really work?

I felt sick on a cheat day!
I ate an avocado burrito in a flour tortilla with some chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant. My stomach started cramping and I felt sick. It made me not want to cheat again! What Dr. Cordain says in his paleo diet book is that there are so many paleo foods to choose from and eat that many times you won't feel like…

Can anybody tell me how long this sluggishness…

Paleo: The Good, Bad, and the Ugly
http://www.t-nation.com/diet-fat-loss/paleo-the-good-bad-and-the-ugly I enjoyed this article, the author is very fair which is refreshing given that a lot of stuff you read about paleo is super negative. I especially liked and agree with this part: Some people really do take it too far and it sucks when that happens. That…

Questions about the diet
A friend recently suggested primal when I told him about some diet struggles that I have been having. A lot of what I have read so far seems pretty legit, like obviously eating whole, quality foods is better for your body than eatting fast food or junk. There are a few things that I came across though that I had questions…

How the LC/LS paleo diet ruined our health/sanity

Using MFP with a Paleo/Primal Diet
So I've been trying to figure out how to best use MFP with a primal/paleo diet. What numbers should I be most concerned about, if any? If I stick to the plan I have in place (no grains, high meat & veggie with moderate fruits & nuts, occasional raw/fermented dairy), do I need to actually track calories or other numbers? Or…

New to group/1 year on Paleo
Hi everyone, I've followed the Paleo plan for a little over a year now. I've moved closer to a 95/5 plan, with the occasional ice cream stop...it is summer after all. No wheat, no sugar, almost no dairy. I lost a ton of weigh when, then stopped for what has been about 6 months. But, I feel better than I've ever felt. I did…

Do you get hot after drinking BP coffee?
I know this is a strange question, but I just started drinking Bulletproof Coffee in the morning. I love how it keeps me satisfied until lunch; however, I've noticed while and after I'm drinking it, my body temperature increases. Is that normal? In the winter, it would be a great thing but in the summer in New Orleans, not…

Weighing myself the week before my period
This is the week before my period and I am feeling really bloated. I know not to take any weight gain this week too seriously. If I stick with my Paleo eating plan, I know that if I do not lose any weight or even gain a pound, it is most likely just water weight. Can any other women attest to this?

Starting over tips?
I started Whole30 a few days ago and caved at the end of day 2. I felt so sick and caved and ate a turkey burger with BREAD :( now I've relapsed and ate cookies and other junk food. I have a bad sugar addiction and I want to eliminate sugar from my diet but it is very hard. I felt dizzy, nauseous, had a hunger headache,…

Fairly new to Paleo
I am in my third month of eating a mostly Paleo diet....and at first I felt wonderful, but am feeling a bit discouraged lately. I think I am finding it hard to eat mostly veggies and meat, I really miss my carbs at times! I was losing weight pretty consistently, but it is slowing down, even though I still have at least…

What's your paleo template?
We (my children and I) are gluten grain free, occasional dairy, selective occasional legumes. My hubby is mostly auto-immune paleo, or he is "supposed" to be but I think he still goes through the drive through :mad: When I first started eating this way in 2009 I was a lot more strict and follwed Cordain's ideology, minus…

KEFIR - How do you take yours?
I've been doing more and more reading about kefir and decided to try it. It wasn't too bad. I wasn't sure what to expect. I would like your thoughts on kefir and how do you drink yours? Do you mix it or straight up? The one I bought said you only need a tablespoon or so for the probiotic benefits but I know some of you…
