Coconut Milk
What brand of coconut milk/cream do you use? So far all the canned ones have preservatives & the carton ones...don't even taste like coconut milk not to mention have crap in it too. I usually buy the canned kind.

Exceptions that you make
I'm curious what exceptions all of you allow in your paleo or primal diet and still have success and feel good. I'm currently still adding organic sugar to my coffee every morning and I know that I'll have to cut this soon. My exception for years was sushi, but I've cut it out. please share yours

New to this - concerned about % of diet from fat
I just started Paleo a couple days ago (I am eating 1 greek yogurt (plain) a day). My fat just seems so high and I am worried (I am a throwback to the '90s and it really freaks me out to see how much fat I am eating). My day today was 22% carbs, 53% fat, and 25% protein. I thought for sure my day would be higher in…

Paleo substitutions
Hi all! So I'm almost through my second week of paleo and haven't found it to be difficult yet. I'm loving the food! I was afraid I would have fewer choices, but if I just give a little thought to my meal plans, it's really interesting. I found I was missing bread a little bit, so I tried a recipe using ground flax. Very…

Paleo issues
I need some advice, some support, some HOPE. I was doing so well the first couple of weeks of my Paleo eating. I lost about 5 lbs. Now, I can't stop binging. It's embarrassing. What is my deal? I CANNOT get back on track!? I already have issues with binging, but was doing so well with paleo for that short little bit. Why…

Paleo Pot Luck Recipes
Hi All! I'm looking for some Paleo pot luck recipes. I found one for Guacamole Deviled Eggs (basically deviled eggs with avocado and spices), but I'm looking for something of a main course. I'm strict...no cheese, butter, etc. Any suggestions?

A bit of a rant, but also would like some advice/support.
This morning I went to drop off my daughter to her grandmother (my husband's mother) to spend the day as school is not back in session just yet. There was a quick conversation about an invitation to dinner, which I politely declined because I would be at the gym until later tonight due to my classes. She asked me if my…

Please help this noobie. How do I use MFP with Paleo??
A noobie here. MFP seems to be all about keeping under a certain calorie count each day. I've read elsewhere on MFP that the source of the calories doesn't matter (protein, carb, fats), because a protein calorie = a carb calorie = a fat calorie. "A calorie is a calorie is a calorie." So, this leaves me confused. If you're…

I need some carb help please :)
Hello. :) I am about a week and a half into the paleo diet and loving it! One of the reasons I really like this way of eating is that I'm not suppose to be counting calories, and that has been a major OBSESSIVE issue for me previously. So, while I'm still getting used to not counting anything, I have been slowly beginning…

any health issues that have been cured?
So we all love paleo/primal for a reason. From what i've seen, it seems like a lot of people here have miraculously recovered from health issues, just through changing their diet. Mine is boring. But for ages I had this digestion issue with reflux making me feel short of breath. I constantly felt the need to yawn and…

Ox tongue
I overcame a reluctance to cook offal and boiled up an Ox tongue. I fear I'll be eating it for the week, it's huge. But reminds me of my childhood:). Any one else found some new foods?

Eating Well's Version of a 1200 cal diet/ Fit for a bird!
I got an email today with a link to a video about what the magazine Eating Well advised was appropriate for a 1200 calorie day of food. It was pretty funny to compare that day to my day which comes in at 1264 cal. Check out the video and then check out your tracker or mine for that matter. Sorry, it makes you watch a…

Micronutrients
Hi! I know while living a Paleo lifestyle you are not supposed to count micronutrients, however, I feel like I need to for guidance. I need to record the percent of fats, carbs and proteins I am consuming to keep me focused. I am a 120 pound female, 5'4, looking to lose about 5 pounds of fat while putting on muscle. Any…

Football foods
Anyone one have paleo friendly recipes for football foods? College football has started and Saturday afternoons will now be filled with yelling at the TV. I know if I don't have food during the game, my husband will order pizza. My goal is to prevent this. I plan on making wings, as they are very easy to make and paleo (I…

Ways to get more fat besides "add butter/oil to everything"?
Okay, so we make simple meals at my house (seriously, steak and potatoes is considered major cooking), which I don't mind, but I'm getting kind of bored of the same things. Also, I'm having a bit of trouble getting the good fats in, which is leading me to munching on things available at work, which aren't good (and I'm…

New to Primal and muscle fatigue....
Hi All! My husband and I started the Primal Blueprint 21 Day Transformation on August 27th and we are both sold on this as a way of life! I've been doing as much research as I can, and am curious if anyone had the same issues that I'm having now and how long it had lasted for you. I know that overall I feel much better,…

Eye openers
I thought it would be cool to hear which main food(s) that you were previously eating, that you realized were so full of carbs/sugar after beginning the paleo/primal diet. I think this diet has really made me realize how full of CRAP so many foods are! My main foods that I was consuming way more than I should have before I…

AIP Paleo
So in my journey to heal my digestive issues, I came across the book Digestive Health with Real Food. It just came out. It's written by a dietitian. She knows her stuff. It's all about leaky gut, FODMAPS, SIBO, IBS, etc etc. It's great. The downside is that I am on a strict elimination diet for the next 4-6 weeks. I can…

Sick of meat
Trust me I am a paleo believer. I am not here to cause a ruckus. I have never been a big meat lover and in an effect to improve my health turned to this lifestyle. I do feel better it is just hard for me because I really don't love meat. I have been eating eggs for breakfast and fish for lunch and red meat or chicken for…

Let's talk sleep
I know it's important and I struggle to get good sleep. My room is too light, warm, and loud. I have anxiety attacks when I'm half asleep and stay up way too late. I know all of these things are keeping me from good, healthy paleo sleep habits. What do you do to make your sleep environment appealing and ideal? Any advice?…

wow (mini rant)
People (on the main forums generally) are *kitten*! Someone just posted how they trashed junk foods and some *kitten* has to comment on how they turned their house the deprived & he'll be thinking of them as he eats his B&J ice cream. Seriously? Why can't people just be supportive & informative. You don't need to rub in it…

Something my niece said
My niece was sitting at the table today (age 10) and said that she tried not to eat too much fat because it makes you fat. Fat makes you fat. The other people at the table agreed with this. I, of course said it wasn't true, that fat does not make you fat. Well, the looks I got were horrendous. I am obese and even though I…

I light of the recent fiber post....
I started to remember when reading Sally Fallons Nourishing Traditions. She mentioned how water intake wasn't as big of a deal as the "health professionals" make it out to be. So I looked on marks daily apple, low & behold: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/8-glasses-of-water-a-day/#axzz2draSqT5o

This will give you one dinner recipe for every single day…
