After Whole 30 Strategy?
So, its Day 22 so naturally I'm thinking about what comes after my Whole 30. I still have a lot of weight to lose and I'm nowhere close to healthy yet. My house is pretty much clear of things that aren't Whole 30 with the exception of a few things I haven't touched in 22 days (organic sugar, sugar free jams, regular mayo).…

At Goal Weight on Paleo - and still going down.....
So Paleo is working out great. Super happy.. sometimes when i see people eating like pasta or bread i get a slight craving.. but its not enough to indulge and since i KNOW NOW without a doubt it has no nutritional value.. its kool.. and craving goes away when i look away.. not difficult i must say... Once you are at goal…

New to Group
Hi Everyone, I am new to the group and looking for some paleo friends. This type of living was recommended by a friend due to my health issues and so far I am not 100% paleo still learning and researching. I have to say I am so pleased so far. I had thyroid cancer 4 yrs back and since then I have been feeling awful. Since…

Autoimmune protocol, anyone?
Hi all, I'm starting the AI paleo protocol (due to my thyroid problems). Previously (and hopefully again someday) I did eat dairy, etc. I'll likely do the protocol for a month solid, maybe two. Is anyone else doing this? If so, I'd love to have a couple of friends whose diaries I can creep to see what you're eating. This…

Is Paleo Expensive.... My personal experience
I started Paleo almost 14 days ago. I started on a Friday (payday) and get paid biweekly. So, since we are not planning on going out ordering out for the next few days, I did some calculations for my last two pay periods... I considered only food - eating out, ordering out, and groceries. Now of course, groceries includes…

Because of Paleo I can't fit in to my wedding dress...
That's right, I'm getting married in 6 weeks- when I bought my wedding dress it didn't zip up- there was talking of putting in a panel of fabric so it could be laced up and close. On Wednesday I had my 1st fitting and my dress is too big, it has to be taken in or else it fall off!! Glad I stumbled across this way of…

Calorie requirements of petite guys & gals
Morning! I'm a fun-sized height of 4ft11 and on average consume around 1300 calories a day (some times a little more, sometimes a little less) consisting of 60-70% fat, 20-30% protein & 10% carbs. In the past I've got myself hooked on calorie restriction and the number on the scales combined with over-consuming 'bad' foods…

Starting out
As I have posted recently, I am easing into a Paleo diet. My thought is to start out removing processed grains and sugar and worry about getting my macros exactly where they should be once I get a handle on the whole thing. Right now I am focusing on eating a protein with vegetables for lunch and dinner (sometimes with…

Halfway Through my Whole 30!!
I'm on Day 16 which means I'm halfway finished with my Whole 30. Hubby joined me on day 5, so he's on Day 11. In 11 days, his shorts are falling down so he had to tighten his belt and tighten the draw string on his shorts. Last night, I took off my jean shorts (that were tight at the beginning of the summer) without…

Damn you, Jainarayan, for your tuna strawberry earwig!
I've been reading The Calorie Myth. It's an awesome book, though it's protein-heavy (100g-200g protein recommendation for basically everyone) and really, really veggie heavy (10+ servings recommended). This is all well and good except for someone like me who thrives on more fat, but whatever. Anywho, he also recommends…

Protein Smoothies?
I am slowly easing into a Primal/paleo diet (partially so I can use up non-paleo food in the house, partly to ease my husband into the idea). We currently drink green smoothies for breakfast (whey protein powder, almond milk, spinach and blueberries with ice). I have to wait to eat breakfast due to thyroid medication os I…

For the love of butter coffee and bacon!
:) I'm surrounding myself with paleo lovers. It's nice to have a group of friends with the same views as you. I drink butter coffee and eat bacon every day. I fry my eggs in bacon grease, bake with almond flour, and have an OBSESSION with all things coconut. If this is you, we should be friends. :) Oh, I'm a career women,…

Hi there - giving this a shot again
Popping in to say hello. Long story... I've always been at upper end of normal weight or slightly "overweight". I had 4 kids in under 5 years but successfully lost the weight with counting calories (~1400) and exercise (running). However, in 2008/9 I got injured (hip injury) and had surgery. My day to day hip pain is…

Whole 30 - Day 10
One third down!! Yesterday I had a tiny slip and ate sugar in a sauce my friend prepared. But I said no to S'Mores and chocolate as well as bread! Still working outside at least an hour every other day. My yard is getting in shape and I'm pinning ideas for future projects on Pinterest. I've dreamed about chocolate, but I…

Back at last!
Have been insanely busy the last couple months, capped off by a month-long vacation on the other side of the country. (National-level high school speech and debate tournament gave us a good reason to travel.) Actually managed to maintain my weight through the vacation, even with travel and crazy hours and catching meals at…

New to Paleo. Back on the tracking wagon.
Hey guys, I'm way new to paleo and just getting started today. I fall off the weight loss wagon a lot and I really like the paleo philosophy.

Paleo segment on Good morning America
Did anyone see the segment on Paleo on GMA the other day? Grrr, very annoying. My sister called me this morning and told me that according to GMA this diet is not sustainable for the long term. Lol. Just thought I'd share...…

Getting started, how does this look?
I want to get a handle on what I'm eating, tracking maybe just for this week. I am pretty sure the cheese, yogurt, milk other dairy should probably get kicked to the curb. I'm leaning towards a keto kick-start. Just wondering what everybody thinks. Morning: Bacon 6 slices. Half and half, 1/4 cup (over the day for coffee).…

Sesame oil / Walnut oil
Can I sub Walnut oil for the Sesame oil this recipe calls for? I know I can sub stevia for splenda, and will. I'll also sub Tamari for soy sauce. http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/hamburger_cabbage_stirfry.html

Day 5 of my Second Whole 30. Feeling GREAT!
So I'm on Day 5 of my second whole 30. I've been VERY strict and tracking here to make sure I stay within calorie recommendations as well. I feel AMAZING. I have more energy, detox was next to nothing because I'd been doing Paleo like 90%. Exercise has always been a weakness of mine. I am excessive sweater and I hate to…

Paleo Coffee Creamer
I've been pondering doing a dairy free trial, but the main impediment has been that I need cream in my coffee. That is, I seriously NEED the coffee. And as a result I NEED the cream. All attempts at using substitutes have failed for me, on the grounds of being too processed/replete with unpronounceable ingredients, too…
