Is there a way to change proten% Fat and carbs in MFP?
Since eating Paleo, it is frustrating when I see I am eating too much fat according to the goals set up in MFP. Is there a way to change the goals to match our eating plan? If so, what are the recommended percentages for protein, fat and carbs for Paleo.. I have been eating the plan for a while due to an issue with gluten.…

Getting my kids back on track
I am ashamed to say my children's eating habits are dreadful. We started out really well they were weaned on home cooked food, never ate out of jars, they would literally eat anything I gave them. Piers was lactose intolerant so everything was homemade as it was safer that way, snacks were fruit, any cakes they had were…

Paleo Half Marathon Training
Forgive me if this has already been covered here, but I will be training for my very first half this year. I've never done this before, so I have nothing to compare it to (as far as fueling goes). So, if any of you have trained for and ran a half marathon without all that Gu and sugary crap, I'd love to get your advice! I…

Recipes with liver
Hi I have bought some lambs liver today and have no idea what to do with it. I like liver but have never cooked it. I will be calling my mum for advice as well. My idea is to fry it with onions and bacon and add some kale. Any other ideas. How long does it take to cook. I like the idea it is so cheap and nutritious too.

What's your BMI ?
I just calculated mine and its 24. Not gonna lie I wish I was 22 or under. 24 is too close to overweight on the BMI scale. This is discouraging because I have been doing so well and this is just kind of in my face saying " Nope your still not thin enough" I am 5,4 140 lbs I have managed to lose about 35 lbs in 2 years…

Looking for MFP Paleo 'Friends'
Hey everyone, I went Paleo about a month and a half ago because I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder. Even after going into remission I don't think I am ever going back to a non-paleo diet. I feel better than I ever have! So, anyway, I decided that since I have quite a bit of weight to lose I will track my…

Question about the switch to Paleo
Hi all, New poster here. I have just recently switched to paleo diet on Tuesday of this week. Before paleo, I was on consuming a lot of veggies, grains, beans, legumes, dairy, etc and less meat. It has been an adjustment but I am enjoying it so far. My question is this: since switching, I have noticed that I have severe…

Paleo and Cardio
Hi guys, I've been sucking up research since I went Paleo about 6 weeks ago and I notice that cardio (as a general rule) is frowned upon in a Paleo lifestyle. I am by no means an endurance runner or anything but I do like to take hikes, walks, bike rides, etc. A major bonus for me as well is burning calories so I can eat a…

A bit stuck at a plateau and I still weigh 160!
Hi everyone I'm stuck. Let me describe my lifestyle: I've been eating Paleo/Primal for a year. I had 10+ pounds come off then. On average I ate 1600-1800 calories a day. This February I did keto for two weeks..I didn't quite have the willpower to do more (it was still freezing cold out, and I just wanted squash and soup).…

Kind of a Weird Question...Maybe?
I've been doing the primal thing for about 5 weeks now. Lost 14 pounds the first 3, started a Crossfit at home beginner program week 2, got really, didn't lose which I expected due to water retention in the muscles. Gained the next week but also had my monthly so that's ok. The question(s): I STILL have loose BMs. Some…

Can someone look at my log?
I'm doing whole30 and Im on day 3. I have like 500 calories that my log says I need to eat still for the day. Should I change my settings for a lower caloric intake? Im 140 lbs and it says my calories should be around 1450. I feel like this is a lot but maybe it's really not since I am also working out. Thanks in advance!

Paleo flours and baked goods
So I've been on the Paleo train for about 3 weeks now. I hardly log on MFP but I plan to start soon to have a steady diary going. So far my success has been impressive. I have lost about 5lbs with little exercise and the occasional "cheat" meal ( Mother's Day , Birthday etc) I have a big sweet tooth and the hardest thing…

Whole30, Reset for May
I am doing the Whole30 or Reset diet thingy in May. This is my first attempt but I have been doing Primal for 5 months now and am nearly (95%ish) Paleo now anyway, so it should not be much of a stretch for me. If anyone else is interested please chime in.

Paleo Pup?
So my pup (she's 4.5) has always had a sensitive stomach. Over the last few months she's started throwing up in the mornings periodically, sometimes 2-4 times a week. I found out she has something called Gastroenteritis, which is basically stomach inflation. I'm considering moving her to a strict primal diet. I eat that…

Does anybody watch their fat intake?
I just started the Paleo/Primal lifestyle. I'm loving it so far. BUT, the fat intake is scaring me somewhat. What I want to know is what YOUR daily fat intake is per day and calories. I also would love to know your success on this lifestyle. I'm nervous for this change, but I know I need to do this. Thank you! :)

Embarrassing but need help
Morning all! I'm after some help for a embarrassing situation. I've been primal now for nearly 3 weeks. Since Thursday I have been having toilet troubles, very loose and preceded with cramping before having to go. I've not cheated (except for a tiny amount of rice yesterday) not too much dairy, certainly no more than I…

Need to tweak ratios for weight loss
It's been about two weeks and I only lost 4 pounds...not a lot considering how much I need to lose. I didn't track my food or ratios properly but I'm sure I had way too much fat in the form of nuts and avocados. So, after some calculations, I am aiming for 1225 calories (77g carbs / 138g protein / 41g fat). Does this sound…

Fairly new to primal
Hi all I have been doing the primal diet now for 2 weeks and I am loving it! I am a breastfeeding mum so I try to keep my carbs a bit higher than I probably should but my baby comes first :-) In the 2 weeks I have gone from 175 on 1st may to 167.4 today. I'm pleased with this. My diary is always open and feel free to…

Staple Foods/Recipes
I apologize in advance if this has been covered already, but I was just noticing today that although I am right on track for carbs (22g) and protein (74g), I am roughly 30g short on fat. I've already had two coffees with the butter and coconut oil and I don't want to do another because that is a lot of caffeine and I'd…

Is this normal?
I just started Paleo/Primal on Monday, and I've been pretty nauseated. I'm also having some vertigo. I'm assuming this is a pretty common detox symptom of going grain free. It always seems to be worse in the morning and gets better as the day goes on (and no, I'm no pregnant). Any thoughts to help get through these first…

Introduction
Hi all. I'm just starting my Primal journey. I've done a lot of research, lurking on forums, read Mark Sisson's book, etc. Now it's down the the doing of it. I'm looking for friends, supporters, cheerleaders, and advice. :) I've developed some pretty abysmal health problems due to my weight, so now I'm working towards…

Hello there!
Hiyo! I'm new to the Primal/Paleo lifestyle but have studied up and even did a trial run awhile back but just wasn't dedicated back then. I've had some really bad depression lately and finally decided enough is enough. It's time to take charge of my life and do things the way that makes ME happy. Primal eating did that for…

Paleo/Primal Moms
I'm relatively new to the Paleo life (and am technically eating more "Primal," I think), but I would love to make friends on here with other moms who are eating this way, and also cooking for their kids this way. I joined MFP when I was pregnant, so I already have a lot of great, supportive mom friends, but it would be…

weight loss is slow going
Hi, I am not new to the paleo/primal world, my husband has been primal for 3 years now and my daughter and I have been about 60% primal as well. Starting in January of this year I have gone fully primal, having even given up dairy recently. I count my calories, carbs and protein, I walk 3-5 miles a day, I do a weight…

Anyone doing a whole 30 right now
Hi I am on day 7 of my second whole 30 and so far it is going well. Day 6 I was in a such bad mood had such an argument with my husband and shouted at my kids for not getting ready for school on time. Today I feel bloated and have constipation. The last time I did my whole 30 I was in a group and we supported each other I…

New to lifestyle
Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is leslie and I'm 30 years old. I am currently 5'4 (unlikely to change) and 180 (WILL CHANGE). 2 years ago I lost around 50 lbs but have slowly started gaining back. Why? Because I used adipex and shots not the healthiest choice. So, now I am almost where I started and looking…
