Anxiety and Depression
I was just curious if anyone who dealt with anxiety or depression noticed a decrease in symptoms when they started following Paleo? I am considering following the Whole30 to see if that can help me out, because I would really like to avoid meds. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not Hungry...Snacks that are AIP Friendly?
Hey guys, I have been paleo for nearly 4 months now. I feel great, I have lost roughly 10-15 pounds (but inches seem more) and my health has improved significantly.

The best way to get over a slip up?
Hi, Today I was doing really well.. I had a blood test and got myself some gluten/dairy/egg/nut free dark chocolate to stop me fainting afterwards and I had only intended to eat half but ended up eating the whole thing... then I ate a couple of digestive biscuits which is really bad cause I'm gluten and lactose…

Fruit and sugar...
So, I am already over my sugar intake, granted it is from eating fruit, but still...Just curious what everyone has cut down their ratio to...P.S...everyone at work had been commenting on how sick I looked. I was curious, too know, if during the first couple of weeks of going primal, does one tend to look sickly?...

FDA Sets Gluten Free Labeling Standards
Woot! http://eatocracy.cnn.com/2013/08/02/fda-sets-gluten-free-labeling-standards/?hpt=ea_mid&hpt=hp_t3 Caveat - it does define gluten-free as less than 20ppm, which is still too high for some, but it's a start, at least.

New to group, looking for buddies on same agenda !
I've been doing Paleo for 7 weeks and have lost 27 pounds. On general boards I find that people are eating a lot of processed foods, skipping meals and generally not eating clean. I'd like to buddy up with some fellow Paleos and learn from them as I took a quick look -see and don't know what some terms mean, haven't read…

Returning to MFP after a long time in hiding!
Hey everyone! I was on this site religiously a while back but had to leave due to some military obligations. I ended up blowing out my elbow that took a few months to recover which really hurt my physical fitness. Now I'm fully healed and ready to get back into it though. I just got all my supplements again and wanted to…

Seeing in others, what you do yourself
Yesterday I had an "A-ha" moment (no- I did not enter a world where I was chased by men wielding a plumber's wrench and everything was drawn/sketched), I saw that I did not care for something that another person said, reacted internally, and then realized I was guilty of the same thing. Well played universal forces. I was…

Food sensitivity to coconut?
I think my worst fear is coming true!! :( I'm starting to strongly think I have a food sensitivity issue w/ coconut. I'm noticing a pattern of stomach cramping and bloating after ingesting coconut products- and it seems to be more severe with the more amount of it I eat. Nooooooooooooo!!

Bullet Proof Coffee-Protein Powder-Keto on Primal Question
Group, Quick question about the use of bullet proof coffee. I'm currently drinking it every morning in it's unadulterated form, sometimes with an extra tablespoon of coconut oil though, and I love the manic rush of caffeine and MCT. I've been stalled for a while now. Started drinking this during the stall so it's not the…

New to Paleo
I am new here. I am not Paleo yet, but I’m researching. I very recently went wheat free and while looking around for recipes I stumbled across some info on what it means to be Paleo.

Recipe Help!
So, I just made some muffins with bacon and subbed half of the required coconut oil with the bacon grease. My question: Do I need to add the bacon grease as a separate line item in the recipe when I enter it on MFP, or is the grease included in the bacon line item??? Thank you for your help!

Pad Thai craving
I played around with an adapted version of Pad Thai last night and turned out pretty good - similar enough flavors that it satisfied the craving. Thought I’d share. My starting point was this website for the Pad Thai. http://chezpim.com/cook/pad_thai_for_beginners I used Red Boat fish sauce as recommended on NomNom Paleo.…

Getting back on track
If you drifted away from paleo/primal what did you do to help yourself get back on track? I was really good for five weeks and then had a cheat and after that I never really covered. I feel horrible after eating junk, yet continue to put myself through the pain for whatever reason. I am trying really hard to get back on…

Back on track/lifting question
So I had a fantastic Whole 30 - felt alive, lost 9 lbs, 9 inches, etc. Just great. But then blew it during the re-intro phase. I ended up Eating All The Things. It was ugly. VERY ugly. Like, a month's worth of ugliness. So now that I feel like crap again, I'm ready to get back on track. Yesterday I re-started my…

Carb re-feed suggestions
I am going to do my carb re-feed tomorrow and after reading Mark Sisson's article on carb re-feeding, I'm looking at reducing my fat intake to about 50g while increasing my carbs from anywhere between 250-300g. These figures are a bit scary but I'm willing to give it a try. However, how do I get these carb figures up that…

Lactose Free Dairy
Hi, I'm trying to eat paleo because I'm gluten and lactose intolerant but I also have a potential nut allergy (trying to get tests done to be sure). Cutting out grains has therefore been moderately easy, the real trouble comes with me and dairy. As I'm a student, I live half the year at home with a mother who is very…

Big weight gains after moderate amount of non-paleo foods??
Has anyone else found this to be an issue? I have found that if I eat non-Paleo anytime before dinner, I feel REALLY lousy. However, if I eat it after that, I am ok. However, I found that even if I am eating moderate amounts of non-Paleo foods, I am gaining quite a bit of weight very quickly. Not good, obviously.....

Supplements
So as I was explaining paleo to a coworker, she asked me if I plan on taking supplements with it since dairy is a no no, etc. So, should I be taking supplements with this lifestyle?
