Ketogenic.....opinions/experiences etc.
So when I first started paleo about 2.5 months ago, I had weight to lose and obviously went ketogenic to try and drop the weight as quickly as I could. Long story short, it worked and it worked well. Then I decided maybe I should up my carbs slightly to say 65 or so grams a day and get out of ketosis as I've read on MDA…

Bad Days
I spent my weekend eating and drinking everything imaginable. Now its Monday morning and I feel gross, my face looks bloated and I'm craving vegetables. It makes me really appreciate how much better I feel (and look!) on paleo. Does anyone else get this? Its kind of a blessing - because I can't imagine going back to…

Staying strong during special events during Whole 30
So i'm on day 3 of my Whole 30 and i'm wondering if anyone has any tips on how to stay strong during special events. I have a couple coming up and luckily for 1 (Work team celebration for a project launch) my boss is semi paleo so has chosen a restaurant that caters. I also have a friends homecoming from Sweden and alcohol…

Lifting and soreness. Newbie!
So last week (long story short) I was sick and did not attend the gym for the week, as I was also home from work. This week I started back and Monday's class left me feeling a little sore, but nothing major. Somewhere between Monday and Tuesday I decided I was going to start lifting to tone up, so off I went to the gym on…

I've found an end to my stomach!
The last 6 weeks of non stop eating processed shizzle trying to fill my black hole of a stomach. 1 day on Paleo? Done! I just prepared my not really paleo breakfast of porridge made with coconut milk & water with strawberries and I can only eat half! After weeks of trying every trick in the book, I can't believe the thing…

Paleo/ primal supplies in Canada
I read all these great US paleo blogs with awesome recipes and lunch ideas and I have a hard time finding many of the ingredients in Canada. For starters amazon do not ship food items to Canada and we do not have Trader Joes here. Many things are insanely expensive like almond flour $10 / lb, but at least I can find it. So…

Fast weightloss in the first week?
Hi everyone. I've been eating paleo for 6 days now, with the expectation of one meal after visiting the dentist. I've lost a total of 2.9lbs in 3 days compared to a steady loss of 6lb per month previously. Just to hoping for someone to confirm that this is normal in the beginning and will level out again soon? Thanks,…

Newbie :)
Hey guys, I've been in the group awhile, but have just kind of taken back the weight loss/get healthy mentality. I've started reading the Rob Wolff book re: Paleo, and to say it's intriguing is an understatement. I'm just wondering what good macro settings would be for this kind of lifestyle? Do you worry about that so…

Buying whole / half of a cow/ pig
Have anybody did this before? Beef or pork? What was your experience? How long you actually can keep the meat in the freezer without losing significant quality? How did you portion it out? What did you use for freezing ? Ziplock freezer bag? Vacuum sealed packaging? Did it worked out? Unfortunately buying grass feed meat…

Grass Fed Cows, ? Fed Chickens
Was reading a story about a chicken ranch/farm and they indicated they have no-GMO, no-soy feed beyond what the chickens would eat around (bugs, etc.). What should we expect our chickens to eat to be as healthy as possible?

Digestive issues - Possibly TMI
Hi Guys, I've been doing Paleo for just under a week now and it has certainly been a learning curve! One of the biggest issues I have found is with digestive issues. I'm just going to come out and say it, poo. It's very loose and I would like to know, is that normal for a newbie or am I doing something wrong? My diary is…

Can coconut flour sub for almond without affecting taste?
Somehow I've recently become allergic to tree nuts. If I eat one I start coughing, wheezing, having an asthma attack and runny nose. The reaction subsides after about 15 minutes of using my inhaler (multiple times) but obviously I'm going to have to cut out nuts. It seems LOTS of paleo food recommendations involve nuts as…

To snack or not to snack that is the question?
I read in one of my Paleo books that snacking in between meals could be bad for you if you're trying to lose weight. Because by snacking you never really give your body a chance to digest the food properly. So I tried it and up until now I've been really good about not snacking. But today I feel like I could chew my left…

Bulletproof Coffee and Calories
When you drink BP Coffee, do you count the (410 when I make it) calories in your daily total? Some members in the IF group don't, so I'm just wondering. I do a 16:8 IF and HAVE been counting BP Coffee cals.

Just started!
Yesterday was my first day following the Primal principals for weight loss and general health. I have to say I felt fantastic last night!

The most horrible thing
Since starting Paleo in May, the ONLY craving I continue to have is for pizza. I could care less about my old chip and dip late night binges, taco tuesdays, icecream at the shore, etc.... Today I went online and saw that someone charged $230.32 of DOMINOS PIZZA to my debit card!! I called the bank of america fraud line and…

motivate me to cook
I'm in a cooking rut and even though I follow quite a few paleo blogs I haven't seen any recipes that make me want to cook up a storm (which is more than necessary to stay on track). Share your favorite recipes and meal ideas and hopefully I'll get back in the kitchen! I bought a rack of pork ribs yesterday to do something…
