Eggocado!
Okay forgive me if this is a known breakfast treat, but..OMFG. AN EGGOCADO. Genius! 1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Beat one egg with a fork to blend white and yolk. 2. Cut an avocado in half and de-pit as shown below. Next, slice off a quarter's worth of each "back" so they lay flat. Sprinkle a little salt in each…

BBQ Sauce
Has anyone tried a good paleo bbq sauce, or found a good recipe to make your own? I got a few slabs of ribs in this months meat CSA box, and I have no idea how to make ribs without slathering them in sauce!

Gelatin?
What are your thoughts on gelatin as a supplement? Recently I finally stopped biting my nails (been biting them as long as I can remember), but they're still really brittle and chip easily...probably because they're still often in my mouth. :/ I also am trying to grow out and get my hair more healthy for life (and…

natural body products.
If you eat Paleo do you also use all natural products on your body? I have been feeling like I am putting too many chemicals on my body. I am no longer putting junk inside my body, yet I am still covering it in products that contain all sorts of chemicals and I want to stop doing that. I have heard of using baking soda and…

Tummy Trouble
Hey everyone! I just started a whole 30 challenge that is a little less strict...allowing 2 oz. cheese/day (feta). I did this about 8 months ago with great results and have since REALLY fallen off the "wagon" with unhealthy eating (which is why I am getting back on track). I'm drinking tons of water! BUT My stomach is…

kicking the (sugar) addiction
Ok admit it, when you transition to paleo/primal, you have that one thing that's so hard to give up. In years past mines been pizza, this time around its Dr. Pepper. What was yours and how long did it take to kick?

Coconut Oil
I started eating Paleo about 4 weeks ago, and I noticed that coconut oil is used in a lot of recipes, and is supposedly better for you to use during cooking than olive oil. I've used it a number of times and while it's OK, it has a bit of a taste to it that I'm not a fan of. Maybe it's the brand I'm using... I don't know.…

What keeps you going in the very beginning?
I made it 4 1/2 days going paleo then gave in yesterday and had both dairy and bread. What keeps you going in the beginning before you get used to it? How long does it take you to stay on track? I already noticed immediately how instantly bloated I was when I ate those foods, it was terrible! Any advice is appreciated!

Paleo haters!
Grrrr I'm sorry but I can't stand it anymore!!!! The other day I was visiting family and when lunch came around and I didn't dive into the pasta and deep fried chicken everyone looked at me like I was some kind of nut -_- when I explained paleo and the reasons behind choosing this lifestyle it was as if I committed some…

Symptoms!
I just have to say, that I've only jumped back into the primal way of eating for a bit over a week, but this past weekend I indulged in a few corn chips and wheat thins while hanging out with my girlfriends. Boy did I feel the effects on Sunday! (Potentially TMI for those that don't want to read on) I've really never…

Diary share for paleo + counting
Hi all :) Crossfitter from NJ here looking for friends that are paleo AND also stay to a certain daily caloric intake. I'm looking to lose 15-20 lbs. I've been on and off paleo for over a year.

Paleo for endurance sports?
I'm strongly considering going paleo (for at least the month of June) to break myself of some bad food habits, clean up my diet, and improve body composition. My biggest concern is how this way of eating may impact my training. I am currently training for a sprint triathlon in July. I would really like to a half marathon…

beginner-?s
Hello everyone, I have been interested in this type of diet for quite some time now. I am sick of feeling sluggish and am quite leery of all of the chemicals found in most foods. However, I can almost guarantee I will not be sticking to this program 100%. Does anyone here follow a somewhat moderate version of either plan?…

Why I hide...fat makes me an ugly person! *pics
My weight has gone up, down, up, down, to the point for the last 4 years I have hid from people I know., I am through hiding, and letting peoples comments, thoughts or my own thoughts throw myself into another depression (that leads me to binge eating cycle) In 11 days I walk down the isle in my sisters wedding 50lbs…

Paleo without grassfed meat.
So I know it is recommended to eat grass fed meats when eating Paleo but they are really hard to find where I live, there is only one market that sells them and they are incredibly expensive. A 1lb package of ground beef is $10. So we have been buying meat from a grocery store that comes from a local farm and it says its…

Bigger appetite lately?
Hey guys, I was just wondering after reading the primal blueprint it suggests that we listen to our bodies and eat only when hungry... Which I get HOWEVER , lately I find myself hungrier than usual :/ I'm 5'8, weigh 145 and do p90x 6/7 days a week as well as sprint train 3x a week. I like to think I am fairly active as I…

Paleo without eggs and almonds :(
Sorry if this has been covered; I'm having a hard time locating the search function for some reason. I'd love to go back to eating paleo, but ever since I did blood work that showed a very significant sensitivity to eggs (yolks worse than whites, but both are on my "do not eat" list) and almonds, not to mention a ton of…

Wanted to introduce myself and have some q's.
Hello everyone. I am new to Paleo, my husband and I started our new lifestyle change on Monday and so far so good. I cannot believe how quickly my sense of taste has changed. Things that didn't taste good before now taste amazing. Avocados taste so rich and creamy, raspberries so sweet. I realize now that years of eating…

My Lipids after 16 months of Bacon, Eggs & Ribeye
As background, I got my blood work done 4/2012 after having been paleo for 3 months (I don't have a pre-primal baseline-but I know they weren't great - I am not a young pup, and have significant family history of diabetes, multiple cancers, cardiac disease, heart attacks at early age, COPD bla bla bla - I got crappy genes…

Why do I feel hungry right after eating??
Lunch was 270 calories, 8 carbs, 16 grams of fat, 3 grams of fiber & 14 grams of protein. I would think this would make me feel full for longer.

People I follow on facebook.
Recently while talking about cows - someone asked me to post "who" I follow on FB (other than the obvious). Well, to many newcomers - Nom Nom and PaleOMG are NOT celebrities. Shocking I know. So here is my exhaustive list. Some are pure paleo, some are fitness/wellbeing and health but generally a clean eating approach. Not…

Thoughts on Xanthum Gum
Was looking at some hot sauce and all of the ingredients looked good, except I was unsure about xanthum gum. I didn't buy it since I didn't know enough. Thoughts?

Jerky
Had some Jack Link's jerky the other night and was shocked when I logged it and saw how high the carbs and sodium was. I guess I should have read the label before I ate it. Anyone have a favorite over the counter jerky?
