Crohn's Disease - book suggestions
I'm hoping someone will be able to help me with this one. My best friend's wee boy has just been diagnosed with Crohn's Disease, he is only 8 years old :( He had pretty much constant diarrhoea for 3 months and was finally taken into hospital just before Christmas when he received treatment and was fed through a nasogastric…

Back to MFP, but this time as a Paleo girl
I'd love to add friends who would like to support each other in the Paleo/Primal lifestyle. I just started 01/01/14 and I feel AMAZING! Bonus: the extra 60-70lbs I've added in the last few years is starting to melt away :happy:

Protein Powder
Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on using protein powder on a pale/primal diet? Is it necessary? When do you use it? Is there a paleo protein powder that you would recommend? I've never used protein powder before, but not sure if it is something I should try, just want to get people's insight/advice! In case it's…

Bulletproof coffee?
I have seen it talked about here and there, and I was wondering how people like it. I read a post on stupid easy paleo about it http://stupideasypaleo.com/2013/10/21/can-coffee-really-improve-health-meet-bulletproof-2/ . who drinks it, and if you do, do you feel better having that fro breakfast vs a green smoothie? I have…

Is paleo for me?
Hey there! So I've heard a lot about the paleo diet and how it's supposed to be so good for you and so I thought I'd give it a try. Thing is, I'm not sure if it will work for me. First of all, I'm a competitive rower and really can't afford to get 'the crash' or something like that on a race day (or even on a training day,…

Animal Fats
While looking to get my hands on pork fat to render some lard, I had some (semi-)random thoughts: What are goat and sheep's fat called (do they have a name)? Anyone use goat and/or sheep fat for cooking? If so, how does it differ from lard and tallow?

Do you believe that we are being killed by one another?
I know this might become a highly contended topic but I just thought I would get everyone's take on it. Last night I watched Food Inc on Netflix and previously I had also watched Food Matters. After watching both of these films and also from since I started going paleo, I truly believe that we (the majority of the…

Please be my PaleoPal
I am happy with the great pals I have on MFP, very encouraging, uplifting, and inspiring group of people! However, very few eat primal and none eat a paleo diet so it's hard for me to get to much insight from their diaries. I was recently advised to up my cals/day from 1200 to 1600 and I'm having a really tough time doing…

Instead of juice...
So every morning I have a bit of juice (orange) to take my pills with. This is obviously a no-no and it ramps up my carbs quite a bit. I can't take them with water as the taste of them makes me gag, and these are pills I'm going to be on and have been on long-term. Any ideas what I could take them with that is less sugary…

New, lost and a little confused?
Hi, I guess a mini introduction is the easiest place to start... My name is Sarah, I'm 23, I live in Sydney Australia. I was sick a lot as a child and was tested for food allergies etc with no resolution. As a teenager it got worse, a lot worse. After being in and out of hospital three times in 8 months I was diagnosed as…

January Whole30
I will be doing my second W30 in January and a few of my buddies are as well. I wanted to reach out and see if anyone else was and if there would be interest in a separate Jan W30 group? If folks are interested in joining and having a group I can create one. Also anyone who would like to become friends and have that added…

New to Paleo and loving it so far :)
Hi everyone, so glad I found this group. I started eating more paleo the beginning of this year at the suggestion of my dermatologist. I have to say it feel so much better eating this way. It has really helped my skin as well, I suffer from eczema, and changing my diet has made a huge difference. Last weekend I was out of…

New to Primal
HI everyone!. I started yesterday changing to primal.. Today, it is hard to get warm, shivering, but my face is hot. Really tired but can't sleep. I did not see these on any list of symptoms for detox, (except fatigue), even though i do have other symptoms listed. Is it possible this is detox or should I worry about the…

Arthritis/ autoimmunity folks, what are your trigger foods?
I am curious to hear the range of foods that cause symptoms for others. I have the beginnings of osteoarthritis in my hands, wrists and feet and tested high for an antibody that is an indicator for rheumatoid arthritis (anti-ccp). I haven't been diagnosed with RA yet and hope to keep it that way (I am only 40 years old).…

Hi! New to the group, not Paleo!
How did I not even know there was Paleo/Primal groups on MFP! Hi! I'm Primal, I do eat dairy. I love doing Parkour, Centurion Method, Crossfit and military style work-outs and lifting. Glad to meet you all! Add me as a friend!

Quick! What would you do?
My boss just brought in a pile of cakes and pastries that his wife made and told me to help myself. They are sitting on my desk. Obviously I don't want to eat these. But I also don't want to offend. Or go into an explanation about paleo! What would you do in such a situation? * I can hear him in his office swearing…

Whats for dinner tonight?
I have some ground turkey in the refrigerator that I would like to use tonight, I was going to use it to make meatballs and spaghetti sauce but somehow I'm down to only one tomato (pretty rare in our house.) I'm pretty stocked up on other veggies though. I don't use ground meat often so if anyone has a recipe or dinner…

Stuff with avocados?
Okay, so I hate the texture of avocados, but I don't mind the taste. I'm also somewhat texture-sensitive to it, so even things like mixing it with applesauce or whatever doesn't really work for hiding it. So! I've been looking for things to do with avocado, and I happened to find some recipes that, combined, use both the…

Thinking about a Paleo Challenge
Hello all! In what I would imagine is a common theme around here, I am considering my participation in a Paleo challenge at my CrossFit gym which is due to start Fed 1st. I already eat relatively clean though I anticipate some difficulties. I generally don't eat much red meat, I think bacon is very overrated, and I love…

Refrigerated goodness
This may sound odd and I'm hoping it makes sense but I'm wondering if anybody has any kind of easy cold paleo recipe. For example, I make paleo coleslaw that I like to keep in the refrigerator throughout the week to snack on if I need to or to use for a sidedish. The coleslaw is starting to get old though. I need to switch…

Primal/Paleo Party dishes....need suggestions please!
Hello lovely people! I am looking for two dishes to make - one to take to my mom's for Christmas, and one to my dad's for the same. I took some bacon wrapped dates to a party this past weekend, and while they were a hit (and SOOO tasty!) they take some time to make and aren't exactly cheap. What are some dishes that use…
