support to be 100% by August
Hi, my name is Kim. I eat paleo Monday through Friday morning, then we leave town for the coast (yes, every weekend). It is very hard for me to follow the rules in a little fishing town with only a convenient store. I need help figuring out meal planning. My husband HATES to think about meals more than a couple hours ahead…

New to Paleo - Recipe Question
I've been looking online for Paleo recipes. I have found one "elena's pantry' which has quite a number of recipes for muffins, etc which uses almond flour. I've never seen almond flour in the store (guess i was only looking at the regular wheat flour). Can some of you experienced in paleo let me know that you would use…

Gaining weight
I'm frustrated. I've done paleo before. Lost weight and maintained the loss. Felt great. Life and bad choices and an injury got in my way. Hello weight and then some! I've gone back to paleo recently. I'm eating better. Some clothes are loser and others are tighter. And I've gained a few more pounds. I know I'm not…

Breakfast ideas please
Hi I changed to a paleo diet in November last year as a way to treat my fibromyalgia and it was very successful in doing so. In January I completed a whole 30 actually went to 43 days and loved it. I had more energy, my chronic pain disappeared, depression disappeared and I coped much better with life. At that time I…

Kalevala
Got to love that good old fashioned European poetry. They knew what was up! Thus the gray-haired mother answered Aino, her beloved daughter: “Weep no more, my lovely maiden, Waste no more of thy sweet young-life; One year eat thou my sweet butter, It will make thee strong and ruddy; Eat another year fresh bacon, It will…

Just wondering...
I gave blood today, which I do every couple months when the bloodmobile comes to mu work place. You know they do that whole BP, HR, iron thing first. My normal stats are 120/80 BP, 66-68 HR, and 13 on the iron count. I've started a primal lifestyle (almost 4 weeks now) since the last blood drive. Stats today at 2 PM after…

Whole 30 and medication
Hi I decided to do another whole 30 today is day 2. However I have been to see my doctor today as I have been having swallowing difficulties, the food gets stuck half way down and I need to drink lots of water to get it moving. I have a long history with gastric reflux, oesophagitis and he has suggested I return to the…

Looking for your favorite electrolyte drink recipes!
Alright, so I've run into a problem where my electrolytes get all wonky during a workout and I've had to resort to Powerade to keep from collapsing. Not a good thing, obviously. The other obvious thing is to eat more dark, leafy greens and other high potassium and magnesium sources of food (I've recently been playing…

Hi everyone, I'm new
Hi everyone, I'm Sophia, in NZ via the UK. Had a lifelong crappy diet but have been thinking a lot about food and nutrition for a long time. Finally decided to give Paleo a go about 2.5 weeks ago and this morning I got on the scales and was below 80kgs for the first time in a long, long, long time. I literally squeaked…

Returning to paleo
Hi my name is Joy I decided to live the paleo lifestyle in November 2013 and did a whole 30 in January. I tried paleo because I was desperate to get some relief from fibromyalgia. It worked and I had never felt better but after the whole 30 old eating habits crept back in and I realised I hadn't got rid of my sweet tooth…

Why is Primal making me crazy??
I've been transitioning into a Primal lifestyle, and I love it. I've been eating mostly whole foods, and healthy for the past year, but I just recently gave up the grains. I still eat dairy, especially Fage Greek yogurt. Can't part with it right now. LOL. I'm still following the diet relatively loosley compared to others,…

Exercise ideas?
Hi everyone! So, as I slowly ease into the Paleo/Primal eating (about 3 months in now), I am noticing all sorts of wonderful changes. I have lost 15 pounds (eating the same amount of food I did on SAD), and I feel great. More energy. Better mood. It's wonderful. I'm also approaching my goal weight (which was my…

Lipids! Woot - NSV!!
I know there was a thread out there, but I couldn't find it. Unfortunately I don't know what my numbers were before Paleo/Primal, but I am so excited about my recent report: HDL - 137 - doctor said this was the highest he's ever seen LDL - 129 - at the high end, but well offset by the HDL Total - 276 - high but again the…

New to the group
I just turned 51 and have been on the Paleo/Primal lifestyle plan. My goal is to lose a total of 40 lbs. I have been on the plan for almost three months and have lost 28 lbs., so I have 14 lbs to go. I know it is going to be a challage losing the last 14 lbs. I have been on every diet under the sun over the last 30 years…

Fermented Veggies
Hi guys, while this isn't a primal or paleo questions I have gotten to know some of you and trust your advice. Plus your recipes would match my food choices. So do you ferment your own or buy them? Is this something everyone should do? It seems to make logical sense from what i have read to be healthy. My other thoughts…

Calling Paleo Runners!
Hello fellow paleo friends, I would like to get some opinions. I'm a runner (not a major runner - I'm currently training for a 10k - so like 9-15 miles a week), and I do yoga a couple times a week. I have about 20 pounds to lose still, but I'm also active (except I sit mostly all day at a desk - lame). Anyway, is anyone…

Your Personal Paleo Code book
I'm reading "Your Personal Paleo Code" by Chris Kresser and I just wondering in the book he states that calories should be about 15-16 calories per pound of your body weight. I've been doing TDEE - 15% = 1800. If I go by the book then I would need to eat around 3050 calories. I don't know if I can eat 3000 calories worth…

Initial Weight Gain?
Did anyone have initial weight gain when first starting primal? I'm really increasing my fats, and granted, have had Gatorade after working out the last two days which jacks up my carbs, but have gained 2 lbs in a week. Is this water weight? Body holding onto it? I initially dropped about 40 lbs on primal eating a couple…

Weight loss stall - week 6
Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum seeking advice. I started Paleo about 6 weeks ago. I lost 10 pounds in the first month which was great! I haven't lost any weight the last week or so. I only eat fruits before 2:00pm and rarely eat nuts. Mostly I eat veggies and protein. Anyone else experience this? Any tips to kick the…

Carb sources
Fat loss goals Sweet potatoes vs fruit? I am doing crossfit and am trying to figure out my macros. Would carbs from starchy tubers be better than fruit. I tend to over eat certain fruits, so I just try to not eat them. Bananas mainly. What do you guys do as far as carbs?

Primal Blueprint 21-day body transformation
Ok, so I claimed to not get involved in challenges, such as Whole30, but I’ve been going back and forth from the SAD to Primal, and I’ve done some serious damage to my body because of it. I’ve had the book for a while and read some of it, so now I feel it’s time to put it into action. This challenge is necessary to get my…

Someone please help me figure out what to order...
Hi. So, I find it really hard to eat out and stay on plan. I feel like every time I ask for substitutions (say, veggies instead of pasta as a side) or ask to be only given a half portion, the waiter tells me "Eeeet eeeezzz imposeeeeble." (I don't know why he always has a French accent, but he does.) Anyway, I have visiting…

Calories paleo crossfit
Do you count them? Weighing and measuring is a pain. I just started crossfit and I feel like general consensus is to eat clean paleo and don't worry about counting. I would like for this to be true. What do you guys think?

Always Starving
I think I've been a "member" of this group for a while now but I'm only just getting around to making the transition to going paleo. I'm trying to ease myself into it by doing 80-90% for a couple weeks before I go all out. When I say 80-90% I mean that the only non-compliant foods I'm currently eating are goat cheese (only…

Beginner Paleo
Hi guys, I'm a CrossFitter, and I have finally decided to give paleo a proper go. I have tried paleo + dairy before but ended up eating a whole lot of dairy and noticed I wasn't getting decent sleep at all, so I have decided to go the whole hog and try to become almost completely paleo. I have been doing a lot of research…
