Paleo Recipes - Just found a boat load!
For those of you looking for recipes, I was just browsing for a few recipes and stumbled across this: www.paleoplan.com/recipes Some of them look rather basic, but I wish I had seen this when I was first starting out and not sure what was o.k. or not!

Fattoush Salad
I made this tonight for our belated Passover Seder. It was soooooo good. I'll be making this salad again and again. This is a "bread salad", traditionally done with stale bread or pita that is seasoned and toasted. I did it with matzah that I brushed with olive oil, cumin, garlic powder and salt and toasted. But you could…

Boxing workout & tired! More carbs needed?
Anyone here boxing as their workout? I have been eating primal now for about a week and a half, so I am kinda new to all this. I didn't eat totally crappy before, but probably had more carbs than I am getting now. Before I went to my boxing class I used to eat a home made rasin bran muffin, today I ate 2 eggs, ham, and 2…

Post-Workout Meal (Whole 30)
I have a question. On days that I lift, I usually follow it up with about a half hour of cardio. Should I wait to eat my Post-Workout Meal until after the cardio and I am all done exercising, or should I be trying to get it in right after lifting and before cardio? I can see arguments for both ways. I would think eating a…

My Sleep Journey. (sorry for the length)
Primal/paleo for 16 months. Great weight loss, great blood work, good bf% and feeling fantastic. I kept reading about sleep. get good sleep. Well of course I do. Then I heard for the third time the nonsense, "use complete blackout shades, not a peep of outside light, black tape over your alarm clock and smoke alarm".…

Peeps!
Ugh, I just ate one. I totally regret it because it was so gross. I wish I could throw it up and get my calories back.

Evidently now obesity is caused by bacteria in your gut....
http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/27/health/time-obesity/index.html?hpt=hp_bn13 The whole time I was readying this I could not believe it. Never once did the article even think the possible of the overgrowth of the methane producing bacteria was because we are feeding them. The likely grow very well in a high sugar and high…

How are your lipids/cholesterol on Paleo?
Been evolving into low-carb paleo the last 9 months or so. Just got my blood work back for my annual physical and my LDL has gone up over 200 from 170 last year. My HDL is in the 50's (higher) and my triglycerides are 90 (same). Wondering what my Doc is going to say. I will not go back on statins.

Ok, Here's My Real Whole 30 Question...
I posted a question the other day asking if people thought what I was doing on my Whole 30 would be considered cheating. I have a tendency to word things too long winded and end up confusing people. I think what I should have asked was: Do you think if I eat as much as I need to to feel satisfied as long as they are Whole…

Whole30-Starting Sunday 3/17/13

When do you eat fruit during the Whole 30?
First, i would like to say sorry about all the posts recently. I just want to make sure I'm doing things right. Thank you everyone for your patience. Ok, one more question: I read It Starts With Food and I read about all sorts of times where I shouldn't be eating fruit, but I can't remember reading where it says TO eat it.…

Whole 30 - Am I cheating or not?
I am currently on my second week of the Whole 30. I have read It Starts With Food and I have been doing very good in regards to not having any foods off of plan, absolutely no sugar in anything, no nothing bad. Where I am struggling is with the amounts sometimes. I work out a lot (intensely twice a day for over an hour…

small victories count for a lot
i just got back from vacation and ate crap food. I said it... Ok. Moving on. Yesterday I wanted a brownie really bad. I ate a salad instead. It is a small victory for me that means so much! I think we get so down on ourselves sometimes for making unhealthy choices. It is so important to be able to forgive ourselves and be…

Constipation... Yeah, we're doing this. TMI warning
Since cutting out grain and sugar as well as some higher starch veggies and fruits, I've been constipated - sort of. My stools are not hard or anything, but they are pretty small and it doesn't seem like 'enough' We raw feed our dogs and we noticed a remarkable difference in the amount of stool they don't have anymore!…

1 week into Whole 30 - a few questions
Hi all! New to the board - so glad you all are here! I started Whole 30 last Monday. Felt like crap the first 2 days (hungry, felt like I was getting a cold...), then started to feel better and better. Now I'm already waaaay happier, my anxiety is lower, and my body doesn't feel bogged down like it usually does. I'm not…

Three weeks into Primal - Update and Questions
I am three weeks into the Primal lifestyle and I wanted to share my experiences so far. First of all, I've only strayed once. We went to a Mexican restaurant and I had a corn tortilla and a few tortilla chips. I felt like total CRAP that evening and the next day. It was really weird. Other than that, I haven't even licked…

Passover / Easter / Family Gatherings...
i'm kinda worried about the upcoming week. Monday night we are celebrating Passover with my in-laws. Usually, I wouldn't stress, although, I am trying to eat primal/paleo, since I have been struggling with gluten/soy/&dairy intolerance. And my MIL doesn't know what 'healthy'/'raw' means. On top of that, next weekend is…
