More adventures in homemade shampoo
For the life of me, I can't remember if I posted this already or not. so I'm posting it anyway. If nothing else, new people will be able to find out about this. For the older readers, you're probably aware of my previous attempts at homemade shampoo, which involved avocado. They failed miserably, in no small part due to my…

I am now seeing a specialist and he suggested trying the paleo lifestyle. I have been going for about 3 days, but was just wondering if anyone had tips, advice,…

Detox/Cleanse for Paleo?!!
I have been eating Paleo for over 5 months now, and steadily loosing weight the entire time. Except for the last three weeks. I've kind of hit a plateau. I currently eat non grass fed meat, but try to steer clear of hormones or antibiotics when I can. I also drink about 1-2 times per week, which sometimes includes beer.…

Habitually eating AFTER dinner
Even if I've had a pretty decent dinner of meat, fats, veggies I still feel like i just have to have "dessert" after my evening meal. It's been a habit of mine for years but something I'd like to stop doing since physically I'm not really hungry. Last night I over-ate on dark chocolate and almond butter and anything creamy…

I'm Back
Ok, folks. Help motivate me. I was pretty hard core Primal for 1.5 years. I loved it, lost 26 lbs, felt great, blah blah blah. I decided last July to eat whatever while on vacation. Then I came home and went into the stress of selling my home. Then lived through a flood that trashed my town the day we bought our new home.…

post workout-crossfit
I have just started crossfit WOD's this week. Today was my first "real" WOD, and I seriously crashed within a few hours after I got home. I am unsure about what to eat post workout.

How much Veg Do You Eat/Day?
Hi All, Just curious how much veg. Paleo/Primal peeps are eating a day. I feel like I'm not eating enough but then again maybe it's just portion distortion for me- I average about 3 cups of salad greens or spinach plus 2 more like a bell pepper and 6-8 spear of asparagus for example. How much do you eat in a day? Thanks…

O BLOOD TYPES
I am an O blood type and have been eating for my blood type O on and off to see if it really makes that much of a difference. I'm becoming convinced that I feel best avoiding the foods that Dr. D'Adamo says that O blood types should avoid to feel their best. I just got a magazine in the mail that made me feel encouraged me…

Eliminating food groups?
I posted this elsewhere and didn't get a response, so I'm putting this out here to my Paleo peeps... So I got into a disagreement with my sister, a nutritionist and RN, who says that it isn't a good idea to eliminate an entire food group from my "diet" and that my eating should reflect all food groups. I know she is…

Cellulite, although Primal and Crossfit?
I just turned 25. I am 5'4'', around 130 pounds. I have been Primal since around July last year, although I've played around with Paleo/Primal since about a year ago.

Bone Broth- Calcium Rich or NOT?
I have been eating paleo since July 2013. Today I tried to research how much calcium is in bone broth. ANY homemade bone broth. And you know what I found out? That there is just about ZERO research that says that bone broth is a good source of calcium. I pretty much found out that it could be as little as 1% of the…

Liquid Stevia Extract in Bulk
In November, I was shopping at an Aldi in OKC when I stumbled across liquid stevia extract for $0.99. Considering myself well researched in the cost of stevia extract, I purchased the entire flat of them, which was 13 bottles. I was hoping it would be a regular item, and that from here on out, I could buy stevia extract…

Ballance/Parenting Qustion with a bit of a Rant....
I am a little more then a month into making shifts to eating paleo/primal (still not sure where I will fall). I didn't mind learning as I went and making errors along the way as my diet (what I eat not for weight loss) is better than it was, or at least I think it is. I got a bit more serious a week ago and started logging…

Just under 25 pounds to go!
I've lost and maintained 110 for 10 years (read my bio if interested.) I try very hard to follow Paleo and am able to stick to it most days with occasional foray's into a gluten-free food. Met with my trainer today and ironically, the goal I set for myself on My Fitness Pal is exactly what he targeted as my goal weight! It…

Help me Obiwan Kenobi, you're my only breakfast hope
Anyone got any good, fairly high calorie breakfast ideas, bearing in mind I don't eat before going to work so it can't be something that needs cooking? Currently I'm eating a couple of hard-boiled eggs and an apple, or some 'chicken bites' which are good protein but covered in dreaded breadcrumbs. I've been trying to up my…

Will Be Starting Paleo Tomorrow
Hi, I just joined your group and am brand new to the Paleo lifestyle. I'm hoping I will be able to stick this out as I do love the concept of eating "whole foods". I'm a sugar and carbohydrate addict, also drink a lot of diet sodas, and love white rice every now and then. I know Paleo will be a challenge for me but I'm…
