a few more basic questions
Can anyone recommend some good breakfast ideas besides eggs? I'm really not a fan of veggies with omelets, so that limits me. I know we are allowed bacon and sausage ( I love turkey sausage), but there is no way I can possibly afford to make homemade sausage, and I know the nitrates in Jimmy Dean or the frozen ones are no…

How much to eat of what
Although my MAIN reason for starting this plan is not weight loss, I would ideally like to lose about 10-15 lbs. Do you guys even worry about what you eat? Once I completely eradicate the junky processed stuff, will my appetite naturally regulate and the weight come off? I just have no idea how much protein, fat, veggies,…

How do I figure out my macro percentages?
I'm tracking a day of food here at MyFitness, just to get an idea of how many grams of fat, protein, and carbs I am eating. I'm hoping once I get that, I can post the day's food here and get some feedback. I see a lot of people recommending a 60-30-10 ratio here. Once I get my total grams for the day, how to I convert that…

Chicken bits
I started buying my meat from a local farm this weekend. Im cooking a whole chicken today, and it came with its friends on the inside. What do I do with that? add it to bone broth? Honestly, it grosses me out, but Im trying to be an adult and use every part of the chicken. Help!

Primal icecream
I just made primal ice cream sooo easy- I froze a banana in pieces, put it in a blender with some double cream and 2x teaspoons of hazelnut butter and blended, instant ice cream.- no added sugar, obviously an occasional thing but it certainly hits the spot.

Paleo and severe depression
My depression is extremely debilitating. I just don't have enough energy at all to cook, clean, take care of myself and others, etc. I don't want to give up paleo, but sometimes, it's already too hard to get out of bed, let alone do anything else. I'm mostly living off eggs, avocados, fruit, bacon/sausage, and sweet…

Need advice on intermittent fasting.
I came across an article online saying that intermittent fasting is bad for females. I have been Paleo for just over two weeks now and have been fasting for the past week. I eat between 12pm-5pm. I have tried searching online for more information and everything I keep finding says that it is bad for females because the…

good paleo fiber sources?
Most of my fiber tends to come from oatmeal and whole grains and that sort of thing so obviously if I'm going to switch to paleo I'm going to need fruit/veggie sources of fiber instead. What are some suggestions for paleo foods with lots of fiber? Or is fiber not considered important on the paleo diet?

fat% of ground beef
Does this not matter anymore? Is it the fattier the better, or should I look for the leaner stuff?

Not enough protein
I need suggestions on how to up my protein intake without bumping up my fats or carbs. I seem to be under my protein requirement on a daily basis-my goal is 105g a day which is pretty modest. My fats are 67g and carbs 45g for 1200cal per day-I'm doing the cals as well cos i need to watch my portion sizes :laugh: I do a…

start now or wait for cancer treatment to be over?
Last year I had just barely started trying to switch to Paleo (did it for like 3 days) when I found out I had stage 4 breast cancer. As soon as I started chemo I wasn't up to the extra cooking of paleo and my appetite was so flaky that half the time the only thing I could stand to eat was french fries therefore I dropped…

Alternatives to Dairy
Group, I went primal about a year ago and had some good success. However I stalled I the 250's and just could not shift below. I recently cut out dairy to go paleo and have started losing again. My problem is that now I'm having a hard time reaching my fat goals for the day. Basically I was using cheese as cheap fat to…

Once you go _ _ _ _ _, you never go back..
Paleo is the correct response here... I let up on my paleo ways over memorial day weekend. Went camping and pretty much ate whatever I wanted.. grains, cookies, hot dogs etc. Man did I pay for that on Monday. Spent a good portion of the afternoon close to a toilet. My body just wont handle that crap anymore...thankfully!!!…

Trying Again
Some time ago I tried the paleo diet. I stuck to it for about 3 months, only making exception for whey protein shake mix (and when eating out with the family, which is rare). I saw decent results from it over the course of those 3 months. My original reasons for doing it were because the paleo diet is very similar to a…

How to tenderize meat?
So usually (before paleo) I would marinate steaks and thick cuts of pork in either beer or soda as it really tenderizes the meat before it hits the BBQ or grill. I was wondering now that I am paleo and knowing beer is made of grain can I still use it or are there other alternatives? If so how do you guys tenderize your…

How much is too much bacon?
Is there a such thing? I have been eating a lot of bacon, about 10 slices a day. I am staying well within my macros and have lost 3lbs this week and have lost over a pants size in the almost two weeks since going Paleo. I feel like maybe I am eating too much bacon, even though it is obviously not harming my results. Are 10…

Meat every day is "bad"
I was just talking to people who were saying that having meat every day is bad and not healthy. ?????? If I could raise one eye brow like this ----> :huh: I would have. Instead I just chose not to get into the debate on fat, cholesterol, grass fed, organic, etc. Sigh. Yay for this support group :drinker:

Satiereal Saffron Really Work! oh my gosh!
Ok, so I was getting a little obsessive with snacking all the time. Even though it was healthy choices I was eating constantly! So I went to GNC and they recommended Satiereal Saffron. I was shocked that I immediately quit needing food every hour. :) I still have two snacks a day and my three meals. I would think about…

Paleo is making me heavy- or... psychology of the scale
For well over a year, I have been very proud of my MFP ticker showing 30 lbs lost (it once said 38). I have been very consistent at keeping the weight off and keeping my bf% in line. Earlier this year I started eating more, working out more, and lifting very heavy 3x a week in addition to lots of crossfit. I have not…

Butter making me itch?
Before starting Paleo I had severe allergies and my body constantly itched. Within days of starting Paleo my allergies got much better. The first time I had itching was Sunday after a weekend of eating cheese which I hadn't had all week, so I figured I must have a lactose issue I didn't know about. I have been eating…

Weight Loss and Indegestion
I have a question about weight loss. I lost quite a bit of weight the first week. This second week the scale has only gone up and down with no loss. I have been ill for the last week and just began antibiotic. I am wondering if this can affect my loss? I have stayed on my plan and have generally not been hungry or craving.…

Intermittent fasting
Can anyone recommend some reading on intermittent fasting? I know very little about it, other than you eat all your calories within a certain time frame and it is supposed to burn more fat. I have always been drilled how important breakfast is, so I question it a little (but I realize how much else I have been told has…
