avocado chocolate cake/brownies
Does anyone have any really good recipes? I have lots of avocados and bananas that are going to be thrown away if I don't cook them into something asap. I have a fab recipe for banana & date bread, but I'm stuck with the avocados.

What is your fastest Paleo meal?
I am having issues w/my schedule. That, plus two very ill relatives have left me in need of fast meals. I normally cook, but I just don't have lots of time. Last night I left the house at 8:30 a.m., got home at 7:00, headed to the hospital immediately and didn't get home until after 9:00. Unfortunately, most of my days are…

Substitute for almond flour?
At the urging of my cousin, who has done well with paleo and whole30, I have been reading up on the paleo way of eating and am ready to give it a try. I have gotten several cookbooks from the library and am marking the ones to try. It seems that several of them use almond flour--my husband and son are allergic to peanuts…

Trouble eating enough calories
Hi everyone, I've been on Primal/Paleo for about a month now. After the first 2 weeks I found that days that I was strict I just wasn't hungry and didn't want to eat. While it is GREAT that I am not starving all the time like every other "diet" I've been on, as a result many days of the week I am not eating my 1200…

Your fitness age
This article: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/10/31/how-old-is-your-health/?_r=1& makes use of correlative data to determine some trends. They found that Vo2 max had a huge correlative indicator to heath and age. It directs one to this calculator: http://www.ntnu.edu/cerg/vo2max I of course like it because being almost…

My secondary goal is fat loss and energy. I am quit fit muscularly but I have a layer of unhealthy fat over all of it which I…

Ketosis, more Info
Have been doing paleo a few months but have not lost any weight which was my goal. I do feel good but I didn't really have any problems to begin with. I am interested in finding out more about ketosis but when I google it what I find is scary (liver damage, organ failure etc.). Other then keeping carbs really low is there…

Dr. Oz, Carbs & Alzehimer's
WHAT??? I have long considered Oz a nut and a shill for the SAD diet (especially the whole grains are good for you). He had frequently bashed paleo even though he has once in a while presented some good info. Then I saw this - is he really saying he has been wrong?…

1 week on Paleo and no weight lost
Hi, I've been doing paleo for a week now and I was expecting to see a change in the scale this morning but it was the same. I know this isn't a over night thing and it takes the body time to adjust but I read so many websites stating you could lose 5-10 lbs in the first week. I'm wondering if i'm doing something wrong or…

Paleo on the Go
Anyone ever use one of those sites (www.paleoonthego.com) to order meals from? My life is very hectic and trying to start Paleo and find it hard to make a lot of meals in advance. I know I know, its best to make it myself blah blah blah..... no hate mail.... Not sure I want to or will do it, I am just curious if anyone has…

The joy of bacon
My children (6 and 8) have discovered the joy of bacon! Now while I am totally on board with this as a breakfast choice (they usually have an egg with this), it is REALLY expensive to feed 3 people decent bacon every morning. My husband is still committed to his Rice Krispies although I am ever hopeful he will mend his…

Recipes please
I feel like we need a recipe section for this group but regardless, here is my question. I do a weekly plan on Tuesday usually for a Wednesday shop with a Friday follow up small shop. This week I picked up a beautiful Lamb and sage sausage and Pork tenderloin from one of my local farmers. I would like to do a crockpot meal…

Paleo...Diet?
I keep seeing posts in the main forums bashing the Paleo "diet" or people wanting to lose weight and try the paleo "diet." My question is: How many of you consider this a short-term "diet" to lose weight rather than a long-term "lifestyle" for improved general health? (and yes, I know the term "diet" refers in general to…

Exercise and Fasting
My final semester is almost coming to a close!!!! :drinker: Once classes are over I am going to be adding Insanity back into my life. I've been eating paleo for a little less than 2 months and I love it. I tend to not be hungry first thing in the morning and I don't usually eat until 9:30 - 10:00. When I add Insanity back…

Stuck at the same weight since the beginning :/
Let me begin from about five months ago when I first started reading about Paleo. I wasn't particularly strict with the diet, but started incorporating it into my already fairly whole/healthy diet. I basically cut out the occasional bowl of oatmeal or sandwich, had to substitute my peanut with almond butter, and…

My Hubby isn't fully on board for Paleo- need suggestions!
I started doing paleo ~3wks ago (didn't cut dairy as I'm not lactose intolerant). My hubby is on board to eat what I make/cook, BUT he refuses to give up his junk food sweets (like chocolates/oreos). I've asked him to take it to work - not that I want him eating it, but better not available for me in a frail moment. He…

What is exactly Whole 30?
I am in a rut when it comes to weight loss. I am eating primal for a long time, and I barely lost any weight, despite my weekly average of 4000-5000 calorie deficit. ( I have a bodymedia, so this is very accurate) I am not 80/20 kind of person, I am 100% wheat and gluten grain, legume, soy free for months. I here an there…

Body fat scale?
Anyone have a scale that you can recommend? Ours died months ago, and i haven't worried about it -- I weigh myself at the gym now. But, since i've always weighed myself 1st thing in morning before eating, this means I end up doing my workout w/out eating breakfast on days when i weigh (once a week or less) -- not really a…

Halloween ?
Today I was trying to bake some paleo chocolate cupcakes , because I volunteered to bring the teats for my son kindergarten class Halloween party. It was an epic fail, because they came apart, and I ended up eating a bunch of the broken pieces. I volunteered to do this , so I can make sure the party won't be a gluten…

Paleo/Primal and kids
I'm trying to switch to a paleo/primal way of eating, because I feel losing the sugar and gluten are what I need to do for my body. I've been losing and gaining the same 10 lbs for the past year and I'm over it. Anyway, I've been trying to switch for the past couple of weeks, with the mentality that I would do it…

Meal Ideas (Root Veg, Healthy Fat, Pasture Animal)
I am attending the Real Food Con this week and one of the presenters today talked about thyroid health- something I struggle with. One suggestion was to eat small meals frequently (something I generally do) and that they should contain: a root vegetable, a healthy fat, and pasture animal. What are some meal ideas with this…

I need help eating more.
Hey everyone. My story is I was an obese man at 285 pounds standing 6'1'' and big framed. Through cutting, exercise and the paleo liftstyle of coarse I've dropped down to 220 pounds! A long way to go and still overweight but I'm pretty strict on the diet aside from ketchup and bbq sauce (small amounts!) Now the foods I eat…
