Newbie here!
So I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this and if not anyone who can direct me elsewhere would be greatly appreciated! I've been doing the whole30 for about a week now and following it strictly per the guidelines and I am a tad bit confused. I really don't feel much better at all. I still feel bloated and…

New to Primal
Hello Everyone. I am new to primal. Stumbled across Mark's Daily Apple and have decided to give it a try. Just wondering if anyone has any tips for a newbie who is just starting to go primal. Any tips related to overcoming caffeine and sugar addictions would be greatly appreciated as well ... I am hooked on Coca Cola.

What do you make with your food processor?
I just bought a food processor today, yipee. I also have a small nutri-bullet knock off but I wanted a processor for cauliflower rice & mash, as well as to cut sweet potatoes. But since I eat these things occasionally & want to use my processor for stuff ... what else do you guys use your food processors for? Was thinking…

Paleo salad dressings.
I just started *trying* to live the paleo lifestyle today. I have tried and failed miserably in the past, so this time I did a lot of research and prepared myself. I love grilled chicken salads so this will be my normal lunch, but the problem I am having is what to use for dressing. I love ranch and know that it is not…

My Blood Test Results over the Years
What do you guys think? Improvement since starting paleo in July 2013? I think so, for maybe a couple of the items! I am going to try to add some lupus or autoimmune tests to this list. Anyone have any suggestions to which are good autoimmune tests to add? I'm overwhelmed with medical records and I'd like to put it in this…

Salt, Supplements, Nutritional Density
Hello Paleo folks, Just curious what y'all do for Salt. I've been using plain old sea salt, but I was thinking maybe next time I have extra money I might want to spring for some fancier stuff, assuming it provides good flavor and added nutrients. I was wondering you had recommendations? Also I am start thinking about…

What's your favorite nut butter?
I love eating peanut butter on apples, it's a heavenly godsend. But Im giving up peanuts, and since they dont follow primal/paleo diet anyway, good bye sugar! Anyway, I know there's almond butters & cashew butters, but I dont like either of those nuts. What other nut butters are there, and whats your favorite? And what…

Alcohol
Any fellow Paleo people drink? And yes, I'm aware that alcohol is not really Paleo...but it's something I don't really want to give up. However, I'm finding lately that weight loss is not really happening...and thinking that is the culprit. I know what I have to do....just wondering if I'm the only drinker? What do you…

Success stories to share?
Hi everyone! I'm looking to be inspired! Does anyone have some fun post-Paleo lifestyle success stories ? How much did you lose? How long did it take? Has it been easy to maintain? Are you still 100% Paleo at maintenance, etc, etc. My goal is to lose 65-70 pounds. It sure would be nice to do it by the end of the year, but…

Lizzard's Mayo
I know mayo has been done to death in this group (as well as BP coffee) but I thought I might share my latest recipe for it, I think I actually got the balance of flavors pretty spot on this time round. Someone also requested the recipe so I am taking the opportunity to share with everyone :) 1 egg, room temp 1 tsp ground…

QUICK recipes for the daily chaos?
Just looking to get some REALLY quick (and preferably affordable) dinner/meal recipes? Unfortunately I live with family, they do not eat paleo. I cook a separate dinner for them, and then myself. I'd love to make meals that could be my lunch for the next day. Any ideas? :)

Raw Desserts for Paleo?
Just curious but do any of you use Raw recipes for desserts? Because some of them sound really good! But Idk if the flavors actually translate O.o There seems to be A LOT of cashews involved.

Single Serving Recipes?
Going through all the Paleo sites .. all the recipes are serving for 4 - more people. A lot of times, I cook separate dinners for myself because my family isnt on the band wagon. I'd love it if anyone had any single-serving recipes available that they use or have a site for? The issue with making multiple servings is a lot…

Difference between Paleo and WAPF?
Hello all! I discovered this group through a friend that posted here, and you all seem such a nice (and reasonable!) lot of folks, I thought I'd pop in :) . I know almost nothing about Paleo (as rural Australia is hardly a hub of nutritional awareness), and wondered about the differences between this form of eating and the…

Introduction / Support/ Diary sharing
Hi everyone, I first discovered/researched the Paleo lifestyle about a year ago, and through a gradual change (although my diet was never highly processed prior), finally became fully Paleo about 6 months ago, but reintroduced dairy back into my diet a few months in (so Primal, I guess). Aside from eating rice or store…

Having issues psychologically eating?
Before starting to switch, I was a carb / sugar "addict". I would exercise like crazy just to eat more and binge out on those types of foods and never felt full. I could consume and destroy 3,000 calories in one meal. Now that Ive switched and started 16:8 fasting, I find myself always full. Which is great to finally find…

Can you have coconut milk ( So Delicious brand) on paleo ?
Just wondering. Is it classified as milk ? I switched from almond milk to coconut. Just use it for my chia pudding.

calories in vs. calories out
I haven't really spent any time on the general forums but WOW are people tied to the calories in vs. calories out theory to the point of name calling. I personally don't believe 200 calories of processed chemically laden packaged food is the same as 200 calories of fresh veggies or grass fed meats (thank you paleo for…

Debunking the paleo diet
Video Link: http://tedxtalks.ted.com/video/Debunking-the-Paleo-Diet-Christ;Featured-Talks My dietician sent this to me and I watched it last night. Basically, the idea of "eating as our ancestors did" is complete BS from an archeological perspective if for no other reason than at that time a person's diet was based…

Small victories/ progress
So I am in no way finished with my Journey. I have a LONG way to go. But when I started Paleo on January 1st 2014 I decided I would take monthly measurements to help keep me motivated. So here I am one month later and my results are awesome! I know not every month will be this great, but for those of you wavering, here are…

Ideas for influencing a stubborn, anti-veggie, bread-aholic?
So, my father in law just got told by his doctor to lose some weight, or face another back surgery (likely to have a metal rod that goes even farther up his spine), and probably more as the pressure point changes, due to the extra weight he's carrying. He's also insulin dependent Type 2 Diabetic, and struggling with blood…

Do you count calories?
Do you count calories? If not, do you still lose weigh? Or do you have to count calories to loose the weight? At first I would still drop weight just eating as much primal/paleo as I wanted....but then it stopped. Once I started counting calories I lost those last five pounds. I have since gained 10 back due to my "kidney'…

Do you take a probiotic? Changes?
If you take them...did you notice any changes? How much do you take? Right now I'm taking 15 Billion a day. (5 billion 3 times daily) I feel great, but not really sure I feel any changes or any difference in my body in any way. My doctor recommended I start on a good probiotic because the last 3 months I was put on 10…

How much Fiber?
I know Paleo/Primal doesn't concern itself too much with fiber, but with logging on MFP, how much fiber are you able to get? I do eat lots o veggies, but not getting near as much fiber as I *think* (or MFP thinks) I should get.

February Whole30
I see that there is a January group, may we continue in Feb? I've been on Whole30 before but didn't get passed day 5, now I'm ready to recommit, and post this publicly to keep myself honest and to give/receive support. I have purged my cupboard, permanently ridding the Paleo snacks and will be getting started. I like to…
