Traveling on a Paleo Diet
This Thursday, we will be traveling to visit my parents, who live about 8-9 hours away. What are some good snacks/fast food ideas that will help me stick to my Paleo diet? I have almonds and beef jerky so far, and possibly a grilled chicken salad from a fast food drive thru. Any other suggestions?

Had pizza for lunch. Ugh
Just want to complain/share. I'm not super strict about this diet, but I do avoid wheat 98% of the time. Today we had a sales rep come in for a lunch presentation and brought pizza. I knew it would probably upset my digestion a little (and it did. Nothing horrible, but definitely upset), but I forgot how tired and blah…

Almond flour
Never thought about this. Bummer :/ http://empoweredsustenance.com/avoid-almond-flour/

Dry Eyes and Skin
I'm currently half way through a whole 30 but I've been having issues with dry skin and eyes. I went on holiday before my whole 30 and ate a lot of sugary treats :blushing: . As a result I had dry skin, patches of eczema on my hand, dry eyes and bad acne breakouts.... no surprises there. So I got back home and in the few…

Buying a pork/beef?
Does anyone here have any experience in buying pork or beef local-grass fed? I'm thinking about trying it out, but I really don't know where to begin. I'm in Texas and after a quick search it looks like I have some options, but I'm still a little leary. Can anyone offer any advice or tips?

Long Distance Running and Paleo
any advice? I haven't been running since about August, and now I am doing whole30 and plan to stay paleo after that, however I do LOVE running and really want to get back to it. (Pls no cardio bashing... I do cross fit/core/strenth training for cross training my running) Thanks!

whole 30 day 6 and TIRED!!!

Crowdfunding a paleo restaurant in Colorado-how to promote?
Paleo friends - we're trying to open a 100% paleo restaurant in Boulder. A week ago I launched a campaign on Indiegogo (the restaurant name is Blooming Beets). Any ideas where to promote this? Any of you have experience with Indiegogo? And of course, your support there would be much appreciated.

Birthday Nibbles
Calling all real foodies!! Wait, that's pretty much all of us, right?!? Anyway, my birthday is coming up and I NEVER do anything for it because it falls right around Thanksgiving and everyone is so busy that I don't want to be a bother. Well, this year I decided I do want to have a gathering of my besties which I will host…

Need of advice
So after my wonderful Whole30 I plummeted into a horrible binge. Instantly followed by gas, bloat, cramping, pain & a little vomiting. Almost 4 days later & I still feel like hell. Uncomfortably bloated, constantly nauseated with little to no appetite. I feel exhausted. How long will this take to clear up? I'm sipping…

Beef Heart stew
Made beef heart stew last night for my family and all 3 of my kids ages 13,10 and 5 ate it ! They had no clue it wasn't their normal piece of meat.. I found it at a local grower for about 2lbs for 3 bucks.. The recipe I use was very simple 4 lbs beef heart ( I could have just use 2lbs and it would have been enough) Water…

Giblets Anyone?
Do you ever eat giblets? How do you like to prepare them? I've only ever had giblet gravy & was never a fan of that Irony taste. I was thinking of frying them with bacon to make "pate".

Have you tried "breading" your meats with nuts?
I just tried today and it was so good. I finely chopped almonds in the food processor, added some salt, garlic and seasoning and breaded my chicken in it (dipped it in eggs). I was a bit skeptical, but it was really good and easy. My kids liked it, too.

I'm baaaaaack!
I'm back, paleo/primal friends!!! It's been a long 4 months. In July, I decided to enjoy my vacation and eat whatever after a full year of primal and losing 26 lbs! After that, we went hard core into fixing up the house to get it ready for sale, packing, and my "eating whatever" continued due to the stress, and happily, no…

Budget Friendly Paleo
A friend of mine jumped onto the paleo train a week ago, and everything she eats so delicious over Facebook. I, a fresh out of college worker, drool at any steak posted online. Of course, being just out of college and at my first job means I don't make a whole lot. I try to keep my food budget around $50 a week; it looks…

What's in your pantry?
This weekend i'm going through my pantry and stocking up on Paleo foods, I'm still very new to this lifestyle and i'm having a hard time figuring out what I need to buy when I go shopping and what should I have on hand.. I wanted to ask everyone what are your "must haves" when you go shopping what do you have to buy or…

Proof sugar is as addicting as heroin
Simply try to take it away from a sugar addicted person. I haven't seen reactions like this since watching the TV show Intervention. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/05/jimmy-kimmels-halloween-candy-prank_n_4218181.html

Alomnd Butter how much is to much ?
I bought a jar of Almond butter on Monday and it's already almost gone :noway: I know they say on websites that you can have seeds and nuts but how much is too much ?? Should I cut it down to 1-2 tablespoons a day, does it really not matter how much you eat of it ? I use to be addicted to Peanutbutter before going on Paleo…

Movie other then Fat Head
I want my just diagnosed per-diabetic husband who is open to diet advice to watch a movie. I only have one shot with this guy. I think Fat Head is going to turn him off because of the emphasis on fast food. Are there any other movies that talk about the dangers of carbs and that fat is good that you can suggest?

So I finished my Whole30...
So I finished my first Whole30. I gotta say I was expecting some unicorn magic to happen while on it. It did though!...but I only realized it in the end. :) I managed to stay dairy & grain free for entire month! Everything else sneaked into my food in very small amounts or I allowed it (such as soy, some sugar & vegetable…

Hungry
Does anyone else have days where they are ravenously hungry even with eating paleo? In all the months/years I've been eating this way I'm usually completely satisfied after each meal and can easily go 7 or more hours between meals without hunger except for the last 2 days. I ate a huge breakfast at 6, was nearly passing…

Gallbladder issues
I had two gallbladder attacks this week and I am going in tomorrow for an ultrasound. Here is my question: If it is determined that my gallbladder should come out, am I going to have problems following a paleo diet? Since there tends to be a lot of fat consumed in a paleo diet, what should I expect? Are there any other…

Primal Pizza
Pizza. Pretty much the symbol of "junk food" and "unhealthy" indulgences, but why is that? Is it the evil gluten that is poison to coeliacs such as myself, or is it the caloric density of the thing? Hell if I know. I just know it tastes good. But can a pizza be enjoyed on a Primal/Paleo lifestyle?... To answer that…

Hygiene
Recently I've been interested in a more naturalist approach to Hygiene. I've seen Primal Pit Paste & EarthPaste ( fluoride free), also many DIY recipes. What "unconventional" thing works for you? Do you prefer homemade or a product? Such for: -Face -Body -Teeth -Hair
