Ugh...just had a major non-paleo feast!
Although I haven't been on the plan perfectly for any length of time, this was my first major deviation. I'm not even sure what happened! I did have one pure paleo week last week. Then I went out for a few drinks and had a pop tart and a bit of leftover spaghetti...then 2 days later, an ice cream...then another ice cream…

When did your appetite decrease?
Hi, I'm on day 2 of my paleo diet now and I've been trying to keep within my calorie limits for weight loss also but I'm still quite hungry after eating. I've been eating about 1kg of veg, generous amounts of fat and protein. I'm sticking within my goals of 10% carbs (for less than 50g total per day), 60% fat and 30% just…

BBQ Sauce?
I need help finding a paleo bbq sauce. I really love KC Masterpiece but it has HFCS in it! Is there anything that tastes like that on the market without hfcs or non-paleo ingredients?

last 5 - 10 lbs help? advice?
Hi All, I have been eating a paleo / primal since November when I started crossfit. I try to eat it about 80% of the time and am not perfect. However I have leaned out quite a bit and gained a lot of muscle so I know how great it is. I plan on eating this way as long as I live, and hopefully through another pregnancy (not…

Body Fat Percentage Calculator
Hi all :) Does anyone have a good recommendation for a body fat calculator and lean body mass calculator? I know doing your own measurements aren't as accurate as doing them at the doc, but I'm just trying to get a general idea, as a starting point.

Substitution infographic

Feel uggg and overall crappy
I have been doing primal the past week or so and feel so blah. My carbs are set at 20% but as I am very short I only am allotted 1200 calories which equates to 60 carbs. Will I feel better soon? I feel like I have no energy but am holding with the hope of long term health. I always ate whole grains and pretty healthy if…

Eggs - over them!
Ok - I am week 2 into my box's Paleo challenge and I am so over eggs. They are causing me stomach issues and I am finding I just can't stomach them any more. But .... what else to eat for a quick breakfast?

Witch craft and wizardry!! -___-
Lately on mfp I've been seeing a lot of forums talking about products like hydroxycut and other "fat loss" products. All I gotta say is that pills and shakes that promise weight loss and metabolic increases are full of *kitten*! Not only do they usually involve starving the body of food and nutrients but they also release…

Still Hungry at Night
Just what the topic says...I'm still hungry at night! After dinner, I can't seem to stop eating. I have my daily cals set to 2300 (TDEE is 2300-2400) and I still want more food. I crave everything from chips (which I've been good about not giving into) to almond butter, coconut oil, and butter right out of the containter.…

avoid certain paleo approved foods in beginning?
Did anyone find they needed to avoid certain foods in the beginning until they got rid of their cravings and old habits? My first week went incredibly easy, TOO easy. Now, this week I find myself going crazy with the dark chocolate, almond butter, and coconut butter. I hate to eliminate these completely, because then I'm…

What are your thoughts on net carbs?
I try to keep my carbs between 50 - 70 grams per day and don't worry about the net carb thing. So I was curious as to what everyone else is doing: Are you counting whole carbs or are you doing the net carb thing? Thanks, Anita

Any Ideas? - Food Diary
I was really struggling today and felt really weak - I even went OVER on my carbs today. Not sure if it's just the carb flu (I'm on Day 6 of Whole30) or not enough fat today. If anyone could take a look at my food diary today and give any input or ideas I'd appreciate it. Thanks! :smile:

p90X and Paleo?
I'm thinking of starting a round of P90x to increase my lifting and just to get more fitness training in. I know its a pretty intense workout and may require more carbs to fuel the workouts. Anybody ever done P90x and Paleo before and had success? Can they co-exist?

what else to do with all this almond meal?
I just made homemade almond milk, which means I have a bunch of almond meal leftover. I don't bake much I'm general, anymore, so my supply will far outrun my demand, anyway. Then there's also the matter of the PUFA level in almonds, which means it's not great for baking, anyway. So, what else can I do with this pile of…

Learned an important lesson today - beer is evil!
After having a few drinks out with my hubby, cravings for sweets and carbs came back with a MAJOR vengeance. I tried to satisfy it with blueberries, almonds, even pepperoni, but ended up heading for pop tarts (UGH)! If I imbibe again, it will be on red wine or NORCAL margaritas. I never had cravings like that from wine.

Article about Paleo diet

I am confused about white rice and white potato
I was reading the second rebbutal for the paleo lifestyle: http://paleodietlifestyle.com/paleo-debunkers-part2-nutrition/ He mentions rice and white potato. Are these okay? I skimmed through the book by Dr. Cordain but I did not see these on the list of good foods. Any advice? Also while I am here, I found a japanese yam…
