Shool lunch recipes
I have a 1st grader and I could use some help with variety of good kid friendly cold lunch ideas for school that are more primal. School lunches seem to be getting further and further from what I would want my kids to eat. Not looking to debate school lunch programs just want to increase the percentage of meals that are…

Cafe Eatings
When you're going out for lunch, or if you just forgot to pack something to take to work - what do you eat? Sometimes I forget that normal versions of food aren't paleo. I got a fritatta the other week and was so disappointed to find it covered in cheese. Otherwise I stick to grilled chicken with veg, or vege soups. I have…

A Paleo Dating Site?
http://www.paleoconnect.com/about_us.php I heard about this from a podcast I was listening to. Are you on this site? Would you? I'm currently engaged, so doesn't apply to me. But just thought it was interesting that they would segment a dating site by eating approach. Even if I weren't engaged, I don't think I'd use this…

I'm increasing my fat intake and I would like to know what foods I should go to. I like avocadoes and olive oil already. I might buy some coconut oil but it certainly is expensive... By the way, is olive oil okay when heated? I've heard about some controversy and I'd like to know

weight gain after whole30.
I started my first whole30 a couple weeks back and decided to go off of it on day 17. I wasn't eating well and was dealing with a lot of stress, my hair had even started to fall out so I decided right now is not the right time. I lost about 8lbs while I was on it. I ate badly the day that I went off of it and it honestly…

Newbie Question
Hi Guys, Apologies if this has already been asked, I couldn't find the answer online. Today is my first day of trying to eat paleo based meals and I'm not sure about dairy alternatives. I gave up milk and dairy about 6 months or more ago because I figured out that was what was causing my IBS. Now I generally have almond…

My back fat needs help
Well, not mine. I'm happy to report that my back fat is a thing of the past. But I scored 2 lbs of pork back fat from my meat CSA today. I told the farmer "I'll take all the offal and lard and stuff other people don't want". Now, I'm dealing with that bravery. I cut the fat blocks into 1 inch cubes and separated it into…

Re-thinking
I started back on Paleo this week. I took a look at my menu and was like okay I can convert this. Oh man I so need to re-think the way I look at things. I had two pears for a snack today and oh man it blew my sugar and carbs out of the water. I really need to think ahead for things like my lunch tomorrow so I don't blow my…

What is Whole30?
Okay, Okay..... I pretty much know what the Whole30 is..... Eat whole foods for 30 days. But, what are the differences between doing a whole 30 and just simply eating Paleo? Kinda confused as to the reasons for people who already eat Paleo to do a Whole30.....

Coconut oil
I purchased a giant container of coconut oil on my last shopping trip but now I am just staring at it! I do very little cooking and other then throwing some shrimp on the grill with it I haven't touched it! How are all you Paleo folks including it in your day? I would love to increase my healthy fats.

Newbie, hoping to cut out dairy
Hi everyone! I want to try going Paleo! I have the paleo diet book (and the wheat belly book!) and I have cut out wheat from my diet. Diary, however, is a different story. I've reduced my milk intake significantly, and only have ~500 ml left of it in the fridge. I do not plan on buying more. I LOVE cheese, especially…

New and want to say hello
I've been on MFP for a few years now, mostly for maintenance, inspiration and to get workout/food ideas. I only really had a few pounds I wanted to get rid off, but I like logging and monitoring and reading the boards. In general, I'm in good health and have pretty good eating and fitness habits. I've been suffering from…

Fruit and Berries
I'm not big on fruit and I guess that's good because of the sugar content. But I really enjoy eating frozen berries!!! I could sit and eat an entire bag of frozen berries in one sitting. I know for the primal/paleo diet berries are recommended over fruit, but how much is too much?

pre& post-workout snacks?
Hi all. I've been doing primeo (paleo with a bit of butter and yoghurt thrown in) for a few months now. Since I started, I've pretty much stopped going to the gym. I used to eat pasta, drink protein shakes etc to get the energy I needed. Now I'm a little unsure what I should be eating/drinking. I want to make sure to have…
