Passing out at night...anyone else?
I've heard quite a few people complain about sleeping problems, but I am quite the opposite, and was wondering if anyone else has/is experiencing the same thing and what the reason might be, out of curiosity? I've never really had much of a sleep problem. Usually once I turn out the lights and hit the pillows, it should…

Talk to me about paleo kids
I'm the only one in my house who eats paleo. My son (4.5) is already mostly dairy free due to chronic constipation - yay for no more daily Miralax! I've suspected he has a gluten problem as well for a while. A couple weeks ago, he started to have behavior issues. I don't know the cause, but I know if I feed him, he calms…

Not Hungry...but
To begin with I am primal/paleo Gluten Free and I workout in a fasted state. I can also slip into Ketosis very easily. I feel great, have loads of energy, the scale is moving (slow) but it is moving and I am loosing inches. I feel I am in the best shape of my life!. Now I know that there are many who do not count calories…

Almond and/or Coconut Milk without all the crap?
So, I'd like to cut down on my dairy milk intake (and potentially that of my son's) and start playing around more with Almond and Coconut milk. However, when I tried to find some the other day, all of the varieties that my local Kroger had all had additives in them! I expected this for the flavored and sweetened ones, but…

Paleo + heavy lifting + open food diary; need friends!
Hello Paleo/Primal Community! I have been on MFP for a few months now, but haven't actively sought connections with other folks. I've been tracking food in an attempt to keep an eye on my macros, but have been inconsistent. I will not log when I fall off the horse, which is very counter-productive. I've decided to request…

keto primal and intermittent fasting
I'm wondering of those out there that are following the nutritional keto rules how many of you are also practicing intermittent fasting and how you find it? Have you seen a lot of success with this? I have found it's now naturally fitting into my life since becoming adapted to keto but would like to hear people's…

Recovering from a party.
I went to my grandsons 18th birthday party yesterday. I ate and drank a lot of stuff both paleo and non-paleo. I logged it all when this morning and I was at over 4,400 calories which is about 2,000 calories OVER my goal including 1100 calories from a bike ride. So, here's my question. If face with this situation would…

How do you deal with...
I am trying to get my hubby to go paleo/primal with me and my son is active enough that he can eat anything and get away with it. How do you deal with being the only one doing that. I told him it would make him feel better and help him lose weight. We don't have the money to buy our groceries separate, but we do eat more…

Peanuts...so good, but so bad! Not fair!

Hellman's Real Mayonnaise
So, I'm extremely new to the Primal/Paleo lifestyle. I'm reading The Primal Blueprint and visiting Mark's Daily Apple daily (ha!) to learn as much as I can. I'm still getting rid of a lot of food in my house that I will pretty much never eat again, and I was seriously amazed at one thing I noticed. For years....years! I…

Discovering Food Allergies??
Hello all! I am about to complete my 7th week of the Paleo lifestyle. I try to remain 100% Paelo, but have gone down to 85-90% some weeks due to cheats like GMO free popcorn (stove-popped with olive oil) and red wine. Yesterday evening I attended a work and then family event with my boyfriend’s family. While I didn’t go…

Can I eat sweet potatoes while Paleo
I am still a little confused about whether or not I can eat sweet potatoes while Paleo. Can anyone shed some light on this? Also, I checked the ingredients for my cashews yesterday and noticed cottonseed oil may or may not be in it? Does this make eating cashews (planters) a no go as well?

Non Paleo Vegetables
Well for the last four days I thought I was eating Paleo, but it turns out that the green beans that I had are not Paleo. I am pretty clear on what no sugar, no dairy, no wheat are, but I still mess up vegetables. Can someone make a list of all the vegetables that are not Paleo and are often confused for being Paleo. It…

Almond meal/flour
I really like using almond meal to make our paleo muffins and cookies. I can get almond meal at Trader Joe's for $3.99/pound. Does anyone know someplace else that I can get it cheaper? Online maybe? What flour alternative do you all use?

Thinking about starting this for help with digestive issues
Since my youngest daughter was born I have been having cycles of constipation and diarrhea. Three weeks ago ended up in ER due to pains in my back and chest which they put down to digestive distress and gave me some tablets. Since then a lot of the time when I eat I get stabbing pains in my stomach and constant diarrohea.…

Nutrition info help please
Homemade whole-chicken bone broth from pasture fed chickens should produce a broth rich in vitamins, nutrients and protein. I wish I could find nutritional values for chicken broth as I have for beef broth. Since I'm tracking for the doc between comprehensive blood analyses, it would be helpful if anyone has the info.…
