Needing some motivation for the first week!
Third day of Paleo, and I must admit, I'm not feeling too hot. I'm headachy, tired, sore, and am having the worst mood swings ever. I also have little energy and just want to curl up and sleep all day. Is this the dreaded adjustment period I've read so much about? If so, how long did yours last?

Advice? Crossfit style?
So... I currently lift weights 2-3 times per week. All compound movements... squats, deadlifts, step ups, push ups, pull ups, ect. I also do cardio when I can. I try to get an INSANITY workout in once or twice and do long walks with my husband other days. Occasionally we go for a longer run together just for enjoyment.…

Trying to stay paleo when the budget is REALLY tight
The problem is that I live with my mother to take care of her and I'm the only one that has gone paleo. She doesn't want to, so there's no way I can convince her otherwise. She's also really picky about food and has an eating disorder, so we hardly ever share the same meals. How can I stay paleo without breaking our…

Macros?
Hi Everyone, I'm hoping someone can help. I am transitioning into Paleo. I say transitioning because I have yet to give up my beloved smuckers natural peanut butter and had a grande soy pumpkin spice latte yesterday! :) Overall, I have been following the paleo blueprint but I am new to this lifestyle. Over the past few…

Bunions?
I read recently a paleo testimonial about someone whose serious bunion went away completely. Has anyone here experienced that? I mean, I know a bunion is basically a swollen joint. I've known people who've had bunion surgery. I just avoid tight-fitting shoes and hope mine don't get worse. It would be really nice to be able…

How to stop jumping on the scale every minute
Hi there, I have just completed my first full week of Paleo, I have to admit when I saw the fat content I was very scared, but I am blown away with the results and how good I feel. My major problem is I want to stop jumping on the scale 5 -6 times a day. The up and downs are driving me mental, yet I cannot imagine going a…

Paleo Strong - 30 lbs in 8 weeks
Yep, I can't believe it myself. I've lost 30 lbs in exactly 8 weeks of Paleo eating. I know that Paleo enthusiasts cringe when they see "newbs" post about their weight loss, as the Paleo lifestyle is geared to make you very healthy - that is the selling point - with weight loss being a by-product. Well I have to say - I'm…

I can now officially show the numbers! :)
Unfortunately, I don't currently have my "before" numbers (I need to see if I can get them from my old doctor), but my new doctor took the liberty of including a lipid panel with my last blood test for PCOS/hyperinsulinemia (largely due to the fact that PCOS can also raise trigs). I left the paperwork in the car, so I…

Ok, so my trainer suggested I try the paleo lifestyle but also watch my calories & try to keep them at around 1500 calories a day. I have my macros set at 50% fat 30% protein & 20% carbs. My problem is I'm finding it SOO hard to keep my calorie limit in check while getting enough fat. WHAT DO I DO?!?! My ultimate goal…

3 weeks in to Paleo and my thoughts
I posted this as a status and figured I'd share with you guys as well. :) "So a few peeps wanted updates on the Paleo diet experiment. I have a ton of jumbled thoughts so I'll spew them here. Almond flour is really dense. I like it. I don't need to eat much of the baked Paleo goods before feeling satisfied and full. Bacon…

Dairy or no?
Can't decide if I want to add dairy back in or not. I miss having real milk in my coffee and real cheese on occasion with my weekly 1/2 bottle of vino! I am slightly reactive to it...like I have a threshold that if I cross, it ain't pretty but otherwise seem to be ok with a little bit. Hmmmmmm.......Do you do dairy or no?

Visiting Flint Mi, where to eat paleo?
So I'm heading there to visit family in a couple weeks and they're all excited to show me beautiful Michigan and the great food. Except the great food they're talking about is giant sandwiches, french fries and milkshakes (I'm paleo so no milk or cheese). Are there no other real food restaurants in Flint and within 50…
