Paleo Macros
I have fallen HARD off the paleo/crossfit wagon for the last 8 weeks. I'm not a fan of logging my food while eating Paleo but I'm afraid it may be the only thing that will help me get back on track. That said, those of you who do log your food, what do you set your macro goals to? Or should I just log and not worry about…

Newbie! Need some new friends
I'm going to be starting a Paleo/Perfect Health diet sometime next week (to be totally honest I have some rye bread in the fridge I don't want to throw out). No thyroid, no parathyroids. Looking for friends with open diaries so I can get meal ideas... this will be a huge shift for me because although I've been eating 1200…

Lemon water
I love this stuff, but it takes me tons of effort to make, so I was wondering if you use a special tool to get the most juice of out the lemon and into the water? Atm Im cutting it into slices, then taking out the stones, then squezing it in there to get maximum out of it as I preffer it really strong

How do you handle certain situations? (parties, BBQs, etc)
I've been doing awesome so far and eating all the right things....but I find it difficult to stay on track during certain situations, especially now that it's getting warmer out. For instance I went to a car show yesterday, and the only thing they had to eat there was burgers and hot dogs. I asked to get a burger with no…

Paleo & Blood Pressure
I have been following a Paleo meal plan for a couple of months now, went to eye doctor the other day and they took blood pressure before eye exam. It was 122/83...now prior to starting this meal style my blood pressure was in the high 140s/low 150s. I went home and took out my bp monitor and took it yesterday and today…

Living in the Whole 30
So, I finished my first Whole 30 back on April 15th. It was a pretty great experience, but I wasn't very strict with not snacking and sticking to my three meals a day. When I got to the end, I felt really good and I really don't have a need to go back and start eating that other crap that I cut out. I kept going and am now…

Starting my second W30
I'm starting my second Whole30 tomorrow along with another awesome MFP friend. I completed my first one successfully in September, and lost 25 lbs! Little by little I let the sugar creep back in until all of a sudden I was completely back to where I started. I'm looking forward to getting back to basics, loving my veggies,…

Help...
I was paleo from November to beginning of March, and I have never felt better. In the beginning of March, I experienced health problems with both my parents (at one point they were both in a the hospital at once) and I fell off paleo. Things have calmed down enough that I really need to get back at it. However, I am having…

Stuffing substitute?
So I got some venison pieces/parts from a friend for my dog, but he also gave me a fawn heart for me to eat (I don't know want to know how/why he killed a fawn). He said it would be amazing if I sliced it thin and rolled it into spirals with stuffing and pan fried it. Obviously stuffing is a no go, but I do want to try it.…

Bodeefit vs paleoplan?
So I want to commit to paleo 100% again (and not just my 80% i am doing now). i think what will help me is a meal plan and shopping list to keep me on target. Has anyone used bodeefit or paleoplan? Could you recommend one of them? I guess bodeefit because Juli from paleomg is part owner in that one and i love her recipes,…

After a Whole 30
Hey pals! So for those of you who've done a Whole30, and followed the no logging calories rule, did you then begin logging again afterwards? Part of me wants to stay accountable and motivated through logging, another part of me loves the freedom of not counting a bunch of numbers which may or may not mean anything.…

Ladies, a question...
This is my 6th week of Paleo. I have been pretty strict - with some falls here and there, but strict nonetheless. My question to you is, has this messed with anyone's menstral cycle? (sorry guys!) I'm right smack in between, and mine started again on Sunday. I read a bunch of things, one of which being that ommiting carbs…

Endurance Athletes with Paleo tips?
Hiya! I'm about to start a nearly-Paleo elimination diet, testing for allergies and sensitivities. This will all coincide with cycling season, and I do like to rack up the miles, with 5-6 hour rides once or twice a week. DOes anyone have tips or tricks on paleo endurance fuel; food to eat while on the road, ideally while…

New here
I have a few questions, I don't eat a lot of bread, eat greek yogurt, fruits and veggies, cheese, milk, and eat a lot more chicken and fish than beef. So that would make it Primal right. I was just wondering because a friend of mine follows the primal diet and has had great luck on it. When I get groceries what should I…

Taste of metal
I was wondering if this is something that has happened to other paleo/primal people, or maybe if it's something that I'm doing wrong that's causing it. For the past month or so ever since I truly cleaned up my diet, sometimes I feel a metal taste in my mouth. Not strong like if you've ever accidentally chewed on a piece of…

Common "growing pains" ?
New to this and I'm wondering what sort of "side effects" I should expect in the first days/weeks... I assume my body is going to make me think I need sugar/gluten/wheat etc (I'm totally jonesin' for some right now) but are there any physical things I should look out for and accept as normal, like lethargy, headaches, etc?

Pregnant Paleo friends please!
Ok so I am 12 weeks pregnant with my 3rd and just getting over the fatigue and dreaded nausea. Starting weight before I fell pregnant was 71kg and yesterday it was 73.6kg. I'm 5'7". It fluctuates massively day to day but I really want to keep on top of it and not let it get out of control. I have been weight training for…

Unexpected Non Scale Victory (NSV)
So during March Madness I noticed that it was getting hard to read the scores on TV and I started sitting closer to the TV so I could actually read them. I then realized I should see my eye doctor and today was my appointment. So he was going through the exam and doing the typical "which one is better 3 or 4" type deal…

April Whole 30-ers - how's it going??
I saw there are a bunch of us! How's it going, everyone?? I started March 17, but I cheated for gluten free cake at my birthday party on March 31 (and felt like CRAP for 12 hours, lol), so I started over my Whole 30 on April 1, lol. So far, I feel AWESOME, though I miss cheese sooooo much. LOL I've lost almost 10 lbs so…

Snacks to take on the road?
Hi All, So I've been following paleo for a few weeks and where I get myself in to trouble is when I have to be on the road for my job (it's only a few days but when I think about it, 3 days out of a week is still 43% of the time I'm not making great choices) and I paid for it dearly when I stepped on the scale at the gym…

Paleo version of Gatorade???
Hi guys! I was terribly sick over the weekend. I had some sort of stomach flu or possibly even food poisoning. Anyway, without giving you all the gory details, you need to understand that I was horribly dehydrated!!!! I was so dehydrated that my feet and legs were cramping, causing my toes to painfully curl. Ouch!!!…
