Good Tea or Bad Tea?
Are flavored teas an ok thing to do on Paleo? I know that most likely the types of tea I like are not paleo, can't imagine cavemen drinking Egyptian Licorice or Kava Stress Relief. Looking at the ingredients though, it's all natural herbs. But if tastes good, and sweet, even though I add nothing to it, is it telling my…

weight loss on Primal
Hi Everyone - I have been reading everyone's success with weight loss following the Primal principles. I cut out sugar last May, and all grains more than a month ago. I stay within the "sweet spot" daily and the scale has not budged downward. I have started logging in my foods (which I had sincerely hoped I would not have…

Coconut milk
So maybe it's a silly question, but is there any way that I can make my own coconut milk? Yes, I live in Barbados where coconuts abound, but I don't think they are the right ones. We only seem to get coconut water and then jelly from our coconuts and then that's all they're good for. Is there a certain coconut that I need…

Newbie looking for Advice ...
I am female, 50, 5'4" and weigh 167 lbs. my goal weight is 150. As with many the last 15 or so lbs have been challenging. I've been on a primal diet for 70 days. I have cut out sweets and processed foods 10 years ago, so I basically removed wheat, grains and legumes. I eat about 1300 calories a day, about 65 grams of gross…

Hey Y'all Paleo + RS
Hi Folks, Started Paleo + RS (Resistant Starches) yesterday on January 2nd. I'm following Chris Kresser's "Your Personal Paleo Code" and loving it so far but only on Day 2. Have about 50 lbs to lose.

Let's do this again... Newbie to MFP.
Hi friends, thanks for stopping in to say hello. I would love to make some like minded pals here while I start this paleo journey again. I've lost a little over 6kgs so far and have decided its time to ramp it up and get things happening. Got big plans for the next 52 weeks, but thought the extra support from a community…

Primal vs Keto- which suited you better?
Hi All, Happy New Year!! So I'm wondering (for those of you who have eaten primal and keto at point) which did you like better? Which made more sense to you? Why? Was it the high fat? The fruit? The dairy? The science/theory behind it? Just curious- I'm having a mild existential food-crisis in finding the balance of what…

Bulletproof coffee alternative for the caffeine avoider?
any suggestion? I am working on quitting coffee, and I am down to 1 cup BCP a day, and I do not drink coffee on the weekend anymore. I know most people use BPC for replacing breakfast, but I do better if I have breakfast and skip lunch instead. Having a BCP for lunch worked great for me food wise, but interfere with my…
-
Dairy?
Hey guys... I'm curious about your intake of dairy. I've been attempting to follow the paleo regime for a while now, but I haven't quite given up on dairy. I still have 1/2 and 1/2 in my coffee and cheese on my salad or eggs. It doesn't feel like it harms me (I know that my body does much, MUCH better with higher fat dairy…

Maintenance on a Primal diet
I have just reached my target weight, thanks to a Primal diet and mfp, which is fantastic because I now weigh the same as I did in my twenties and I have my 50th birthday next month! However, I have just broken up for Christmas and have my non primal family staying, along with their bread, cakes, biscuits etc, so there is…

Introductions
Hey all, I'm a new guy here to this group and have been with MyFitnessPal several months now. I have in the past lost weight using the Atkin's diet and started it a few months back. I know his method is not always looking at what you eat as long as it is "Low Carb" and even when I have over-eaten I generally do not eat…

Paleo Moms
I had a baby 15 months ago. She is a little darling. However, she's had a bunch of health issues. Most of them I do not believe can be associated with my diet or her diet (such as her congenital heart defect- a medium sized ASD and the PDA that she was born with and had to have corrective surgery for at 2 months old). She…

sore throat, cough relief
I had strep throat a month ago and would have liked to have had a throat lozenge to help relieve some of the pain and dryness. This was posted by one of my connections on Facebook. Since it's cold and flu season, I thought I'd share. Hopefully, none of you will have a use for it. :smile:…

Christmas Dinner?
Just curious what's on everyone's menu? I've got one vegetarian, one vegan and 3 SAD's coming for dinner. It was a challenge to plan! Turkey Roasted Brussel Sprouts (would have been better with bacon) Mashed Yams Green Beans with toasted almonds and coconut oil Strawberry Avocado Salad with toasted walnuts Potato's for…

I need help finding a good primal gift for my stepmom!
Alright, so I am a lifelong vegan. My parents raised me strictly vegetarian and I have no idea how to cook meat or anything. My father married this woman (whom I certainly like!) and she is NOT vegan! In fact, she eats no grains and a heck-ton of meat and dairy. (She even cooks with lard and tallow!) I hope this all sounds…

Body fat has gone UP?
Frustrated. Love the paleo way of eating BUT had body comp done today and I've gone up (though pounds have gone down and clothes fit looser). Anyone successfully drop body fat while eating this way (and build muscle too)?

I was reading some success stories and that is extremely encouraging as well. While I feel great right health wise, I am still not at my goal and I dont want to slip, I think this may be the way to…

Ideas for overcooked ground beef?
Okay, so I found a recipe online on making a cheap "jerky" using ground beef. I figured I had a ton so I'd give it a whirl. Well, it's awful haha. Absolutely awful. It was a pound of meat and now it's just all dried out wrapped up in the fridge. Any ideas on something I could maybe do to revive it a bit? I posted this on a…

Is it possible to do Paleo without high-protein consumption?
I did some research today about high-protein diets. I have been doing paleo off and on since August, and am doing a serious Whole 30 right now. My research, at first, was relieving. What I read said that if your kidney is normal, and you eat mostly lean meats, high-protein is fine. One person that was quoted basically said…

Happened across and interesting post by Cordain
Something that always bugs me on the main forums (and elsewhere) is the handful of people that insist that we're not meant to eat meat, because Australopithecus supposedly didn't do so (never mind the couple million years and handful of species between us and "Lucy"), and the associated arguments of things like how our GI…

Paleo helped me SO much
For ages I had a weird issue where I felt like I couldn't breathe properly. I'd yawn constantly and get dizzy from concentrating on it. I had a morning cough like a regular smoker does, and I also had tummy cramps that felt a lot like hunger pangs. Nexium tablets helped, but the symptoms returned after the pack ran out.…

Kobe Bryant and Lakers on Paleo Diet
I posted this in another forum, but thought you guys would like to read about this too...I find it fascinating that professional athletes are getting into Paleo. Looks like another NBA team following the Paleo diet for health and high performance. This article is on Kobe Bryant and the other Lakers team members, following…

Christmas menus
Just curious what everyone is planning for their Christmas feasts and looking for some inspiration. I have a naturally cured and smoked ham and a whole salmon as a starting point, still trying to figure out some great primal/paleo additions. Would love to hear what you have planned (and any recipes)!

Macros for weight loss?
Hi all, I'm still early on in the Paleo road, and I'm actively trying to achieve fat loss. I have a history of not being consistent, and I tend to switch things up too soon because I get discourged easily. I've been trying to lose fat for a while now (as you can see.) Anyway, I digress...can those who are trying to lose…

Do you ever just NOT feel hungry?
So as some of you know I've been paleo since July this year. I started out my transition with great meals of whole foods (organic and/or pasture raised meats when possible) and all the great fats from avocados etc. I used to eat snacks as well until my body decided it was no longer necessary. I've recently been able to…

Bulletproof Coffee question
Hi all, New to the group and considering either paleo or ketogenic-to-paleo diet after years of "dieting hiatus". I've only heard of Bulletproof coffee recently and can't wait to try it out. However, I'm not making an actual diet change yet due to various non-holiday reasons, so I'm wondering if it would be more harmful…

Third time is a charm...
Tried posting this twice now and every time I hit a wrong button and lost everything...copy and paste is now my best friend! Okay, so for the past two years I was eating more "primal" and was the manager of the local organic market. My job there ended (very badly) because of not agreeing with many of their practices,…
