Hey everyone I just need a little bit of venting space!!! I recently started the 30 day paleo challenge and then the long weekend hit x_x.... I spent the weekend with my parents who aren't paleo and pretty much ended eating junk food including ice cream, peanut butter, chips, chocolates and candies (I lack will power when…

Introducing cheese back into your diet
I've been 'paleo' for almost 4 months now, and eating a more strict version of paleo for about 3 to see what was causing some stomach issues I was having. For the past few weeks I've been slowly eating cheese again for the fat content (I used to be obsessed with cheese and could eat it right out of the package). I was just…

Paleo/Primal apps
Anyone have experience with any good Paleo/Primal apps? I tried EatFindr but didn't like it (doesn't filter out soybean oil) and I also downloaded HealthyOut, Primal Paleo Free, and Fooducate. I was looking at Paleogogo but it's $4 and doesn't seem worth it (I know I shouldn't eat the bun!!). Any other suggestions or…

Confession
I got desperate and went back to the sad diet for the past 2 weeks. No adverse effects except that I can not sleep. I'm back to primal tomorrow and I've missed my lifestyle and primal community. This is the way my body was made to eat, and I've been grieving the loss of it. It became a part of my life and I bailed on it…

Paleo/primal friends and starting lifting...
Hi everyone! I've been lucky to add a lot of motivational and supportive people since getting back into MFP recently, but I've started eating more paleo/primal and hope to find some more friends that do the same! I'm also getting interested in lifting, and wondering if anyone has recommendations on where to start! I've…

Need advice - business lunch at an Indian Rest
Hi my paleo/primal friends, I have a business lunch at an Indian rest today ... how hard is it to avoid grains, especially wheat? What to order/avoid (obviously avoid Naan) I am guessing that Legumes are pretty much a given, I'm ok with that... I appreciate any help you can provide! Christie

Paleo Lunches
Ok so I have the dinners and breakfast down but the real problem is lunches. I have 20 month old daughter who is home with me all the time, and a 5 year old who is at school for 5 days a week. I just don't know what to do? The kids do eat tuna in between cucumbers but other than that I just can't pin it down. Any ideas are…

Lifting weights while in keto
So it turns out that I have (unintentionally) gone into ketosis since going primal/paleo 3 months ago. Some of you on here said that the weird metal taste I had in my mouth was probably from that, so I got the strips and it turns out they were right. I don't really log in my diary anymore but I'd say that my carb intake…

Interesting UDSA story
I buy my meat from a local grass fed, family run farm. They send me weekly emails on information about their meat, and their interactions with other big box farmers and the US government. This week's email was eye-opening for how ridiculous our current food standards are. Have fun! (email from David Maren at Tendergrass…

I need help...

So I thought Id write a post to find out from this group what you all consider good. Where do bananas fall? I have been told they have too much carbs and sugar.…

Could use some Paleo friends who track!
Hi all! I've been eating Paleo for about 2 months now. Three or so weeks ago, I added in exercise (30DS). I'm seeing NO results - not only no weight loss, but no inches lost either. So I'm back to food tracking to figure out what's going on. Cry. (Because I really don't want to track my food) Anyway, I could use some…

Buying 1/4 or 1/2 Grass Fed Cow
Has anyone ever purchased a side of beef? Did you feel like it actually saved you money? ... I'm looking into buying a 1/2 cow and sharing it with a friend but before I drop several hundred dollars on one I thought I'd ask others of their experiences. I have plenty of freezer space, that's not a problem.

How to eat primal
I have just started paleo from what I read it seemed a good idea, however, I am a little worried about the lack of dairy in the diet. I hear you can have dairy if you go primal, I was wondering how many carbs you should have a day for weight loss. I also heard that you can have potato and cassava and plantains is this…

No more morning sickness! Is paleo the reason?
Hi! I just wanted to say that since I started eating this way about 3 months ago, I had a miraculous change in the way I feel overall. One of the biggest and most important things I'd like to mention is how I feel when I wake up in the morning now. For YEARS I've had a problem with morning sickness. I contributed it to…

What Happens When You Give In to Temptation
No real point to this post, just an experience I had today.... So I'm new at this Primal stuff, and I'm still getting rid of non-paleo, non-primal foods in my house. I have not had any kind of grains in over a week. I know that doesn't sound like a long time, but for me...it is. Anyway, I was going through the deep freeze…

Ladies Please.... Men, you may comment on behalf of your SO
Hi gals!!! (and guys... you know you looked) I was just curious as to how your time-of-the-month has changed since going primal/paleo. I am curious if I possibly have anything else to look forward to. So far, I am very happy with the difference. I am having MUCH less cramping and pain. I don't feel as fat and bloated…
