I fell off the paleo wagon
I'm sooooo annoyed at myself. I fell off the paleo wagon, I've no idea why! I know it makes me feel great and I lose weight but never the less I fell off- It started slowly, and before I knew it I was eating sandwiches. The upshot of this is that I'm up 2 stones from this time last year, my tummy is swolen and I feel like…

Duke mayonnaise
Hey! I'm wondering if anyone has ever made a homemade mayo that tastes like Dukes? I know this is a long-shot, but thought I'd ask. I'm planning to make some pimento cheese, and hear that it's heresy to use anything but Dukes. But I'm trying to avoid the soybean oil if I can.

International Paleo Movement Group
Hello- Just wondered if anyone has joined the IPMG on facebook? There's a lot of discussions, information, and quite a bit of knowledgeable folks on there with over 12000 members worldwide, always something new to learn about Paleo.

OK I'm going to say it - beer
I'm relatively new to the paleo/primal world - started eating clean on May 12/14. I was hugely surprised how easily I could let go of breads, pasta, cookies, etc. My sweets are non-existent - no chocolate, desserts, etc. I'm a believer in this lifestyle. But I'm getting a bit discouraged as I'm only down just over 4 lbs in…

Curious over calories..
Hi guys and girls please help me out here as I'm new to Paleo. Fitness pal says I should eat 1300 cals to lose weight a day but I always though on Paleo you should ignore numbers ... I have been consuming about 2000 cal per day recently on paleo. Im 163cm tall, 63kg, 33 year old female. Its really easy for the calories to…

The Bulletproof Exec Infographic
I've always liked to use Bulletproof Exec's infographic that illustrates the sliding scale of recommended foods, but he recently redid his site and now has it being a mailing list wall (about which I'm sorely disappointed, though this post I found is probably why --…

Paleo inside & out?
Just curious if when embracing the Paleo/Primal, lifestyle to whatever degree you feel is right for you, if you are treating the outside of your body (skin) the same way as the inside. Not sure if anyone thinks of this or if it matters at all. I am a natural soap and beauty product creator and was curious if this plays any…

Costco/Trader Joes - Paleo approved?
Hi Guys, I know we are supposed to make as much as possible from scratch, but have you found any paleo approved products at Costco or Trader Joes? I work a 10 hour day and sometimes I just need a few short cuts, some quick throw together meals. I get nuts and seeds from Trader Joes, veggies too. But what about meat,…

Primal Body, Primal Mind
I am reading this book by Nora G. right now and it is very thought-provoking. I am starting to eat more this way and already feeling better. I am especially interested in how to eat if you exercise hard, and want to avoid carbs ( I am a swimmer). I also walk, ride my bike occasionally, but the hard exercise I do regularly…

My boobs hurt so bad!
Ok, this is cross posted from the keto group, but there are some really smart cookies in here and I'd like feed back from them who aren't in the keto group. So... I think I have this: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003153.htm not "a lump." A good thing is that symptoms should go away soon and not come back…

I'm really hoping someone can help me with a basic outline on how to substitute if its even possible. Thanks in advance.

Sorry if these have been answered time after time. I'm Jewel, 27, and have two kids (6 and 1) and really am looking to just shed about 30 lbs then stick with the paleo style eating habits. This is day three for me and before I tried keto and stayed with it for a month and dropped 10 lbs. I wanted a different approach so am…

Cayenne Pepper and a unique blend of hot peppers, garlic, vinegar and other spices is the ingredients list. Any help would be appreciated! gettin started here on…

Can one eat too many kale chips?
Hey Everyone! Can one eat too many kale chips?? They are so damn good! I bake mine in the oven at 350 only AFTER gently massaging them with coconut oil and sprinkling them with a pinch of sea salt. Do you guys like kale chips? How do you make yours?

Paleo Poop
Sorry if this topic has been covered before. But in the last few weeks I have been doing very well paleo wise. I am on the whole30 so I haven't logged/counted calories for this purpose but I have one issue... poop... I used to consider myself very regular before embarking on this new eating plan but the last few days my…

Coconut Oils Review
Not sure if the group has ever reviewed coconut oils before but I've been experimenting with coconut oils and would love to hear your recommendations. 1) Carrington Farms 100% Organic, Extra Virgin - this oil smells and tastes like coconuts right out of the jar/box. I made some yummy fat bombs with this one and I can eat…

Fat bomb recipes
Does anyone have any recipes for fat bombs that don't involve nuts or sweeteners? (i.e fit the primal concept). Every recipe seems designed for the low carb community rather than the primal/paleo community. Struggling to get enough fat in at the moment so thought these may help. Thanks :-)

Opinion on MFP Saturated Fat setting
So, first I want to be totally honest and admit that if you look at my diary you may see the occasional hot dogs, ice cream and my dark chocolate fix, things like that. That's my disclaimer before I ask my question! :wink: I manually set my daily calories to 1540, and macros to 25C/25P/50F. MFP gives me a goal of 17g of…

Looking for some Paleo friends

Food P0rn
Not sure if there's already a thread in here like this (I briefly looked), but share your best looking paleo/primal meals! I'll start with a pic of my dinner last night: Made a hash with sweet potato, mushrooms, bell peppers & onions (cooked in jowl grease). Topped with hog jowl, eggs & tomato

Artificial Sweeteners are not FOOD
I've noticed some Primal/Paleo people who are consuming artificial sweeteners (and I'm not talking about Stevia products, though I don't think of it as food either). Maybe some you are new, maybe not. I totally get that some of us are doing the 80/20 thing or whatever, but there is never a reason to eat artificial…

College Kid with Questions
Good Morning, I am new to Primal/Paleo and the group. I have a few questions on how I can modify Paleo to fit my life at school. I cut out soda several months ago. I am slowly but steadily trying to eat Paleo anytime I can. But my school offers very little when it comes to foods that aren't french fries or chicken nuggets.…

Meltdown
I started Paleo 12 days ago. I lost 5 lbs in the first week. I have been pretty good and strict with it. I had a very emotional day yesterday and had a bit of a food meltdown between last night and today - eating everything I have not allowed myself to have and then some...ice cream/pizza....ugh. The reason I am sharing is…

low carb and exercise
Most people I have read about seem to have no issue with working out while on a low carb diet. I eat anywhere from 15-30 grams of carbs per day and have been in ketosis for about a month now. Any other times I have eaten this way,I have had boundless energy after a 2 week adjustment period. I am feeling the opposite this…

Need more protein!
Looking for ideas on how to get some more protein in my diet. I'll probably add in a couple shakes but I'd prefer real food ideas. I get so full eating large amounts of meat. Any suggestions? I typically eat 3-4 eggs every morning, lunch is a meat and veggie...dinner is the same.

olive oil....let's discuss
I make a quart of salad dressing about every three days in the summer and a pint of mayo every three days. That ends up being a lot of olive oil. I know olive oil is cut with canola (yes! Its true). I buy the extra light two pack of olive oil at Costco. This product is currently the weak link in my pantry and I'm going…

Giving up coffee...to sleep through the night???
Hello! Ok guys, I am just desperate. I have not slept through the night in years. My sleep got really bad when I was pregnant and when my son was little, but he is 17 months old now and has been sleeping through the night for 9 months! I want to sleep through the night too!! I have been eating really clean for at least the…
