Atkins Induction
I'm in my 2nd week of Atkins induction and I think I'm going to jump ship to paleo since I already eat a lot of pastured/organic food and I definitely want to stay the heck away from wheat and artificial sweeteners. My question is this... do you also watch your calories as well as your macros? I think if I ate 50g carbs I…

Processed Garbage Article
Another reason not to eat processed garbage: http://www.salon.com/2013/03/17/modern_chicken_has_no_flavor_lets_make_it_in_a_lab/ I'm not sure why they used Chipotle as an example though..... they only mention them once and in a positive manner.

Concentrate
So, I am in the early process of doing a Whole 30. I am really trying to do the very best I can not to eat anything that is resticted. There have been a few foods that I have found that seem to be on plan except they say things like "apple concentrate or orange concentrate" on the ingredients list. Maybe this is a stupid…

Raw Milk

Thoughts on Salt/Sodium
Hey everyone :flowerforyou: I've been hearing varying things about sodium intake on MFP and articles elsewhere, and I'm not really sure where I stand. I never used to track my sodium intake until the last few years, but noticed I typically ate above the recommended dosage. I have always had normal to low blood pressure and…

NEWBIE :)
Hi all, new here to this group, (to any group), and to Paleo/Primal as well. Right now I am taking a more Paleo approach. I am on day 3 and it has not been 100% spot on since I am easing in. Right now I am extremely tired, is this normal. I am not sure I am getting enough cals. I get full quicker and stay fuller longer,…

How do you prepare?
I really want Paleo to work for me, but am finding it hard to stick with it. Mostly because I am not prepared, and haven't prepped my meats or veggies. I try to plan my meals for the week, but with a non-paleo husband, and a picky 20 month old, it's hard to plan so many meals. What works for you? Do you pre-make your meals…

Egg drop soup- absolute best recipe I have ever made!
I felt the need to share this amazing paleo / primal recipe. it was so fast and easy to make.. I didn't make my own chicken broth b/c don't have the time, but if you use organic chicken broth then pretty close. Also I didn't have the same oil they said to use but used sunflower instead . It literally took less than 15 min…

Primal gnocchi?
Has anyone tried making a primal type sweet potato gnocchi before? I am thinking of making them as "treat" dinner. Online they all seem to be made with tapioca flour or potato starch. Wondering if anyone has made this as close to primal as possible and if it was delicious? lol

Paleo friends!
Hey folks! I'm looking to connect with some Paleo folks on MFP. I'm MFP friends with a few people but they don't eat Paleo so their diaries aren't super helpful. I'm 27, SW is 213, CW is 208, and GW is 140. I was really good on calories when I was on the Whole30, but it's been going up since then and thus my weight isn't…

80\20 rule
Do you measure this by day, week, month? Just curious if you would consider a day where you ate 3 truely paleo meals, but had 2 tortilla chips OK, or do you just consider the 20% having a full non paleo meal occassionally (like a plate of pasta with garlic bread or something really not paleo). I aim for full paleo days…

Paleo Crunch Cereal!
My trainer Jason McCammon at Iron Quest fitness in Lansing, Michigan sent out our newsletter and it included this terrific sounding cereal in it. I had always been a HUGE fan of a cold bowl of cereal with Milk and Berries but now after I started eating Paleo I still wanted that bowl full of goodness each morning. Well this…

Any paleo Runners?
I've been training for a marathon and my short runs are usually 3-5 miles and my long run is currently 14 miles. I've been doing just fine and am very comfortable with my short runs then I started eating paleo and BOOM. All my short runs are super difficult. I have found that this might be due to my carb intake? I usually…

Fruit...be honest
How much do you eat? I know without a doubt that fruit is preventing my fat loss. I had 2 bananas and an apple today. I think I'm just going to rid myself of fruit for a while because I think it's causing more problems than its worth. I want to lose about 5% body fat. These next few days will be rough. Who is with me? I…

2nd Week on the Primal Diet
Hi, I am really enjoying using the primal blueprint diet. I have recently increased by calories to 2900 and macros of 45% fat, 30 protien and 25 carbs. First week was a little struggle adjusting to it. I was really tried the first few days due to the lack of carbs., Now I have adjusted to it. My next challenge is to adjust…

O.M.Ghee
So, I have been hearing about ghee (or clarified, paleo approved butter) since I started my paleo journey a couple of months ago. I never really thought I needed it let alone saw it anywhere in stores. Well, lately I have been having a hard time getting my macros where they should be and realized that, like everyone has…

Just do not feel as hungry
I just finished lunch (pork loin w/ veggies via crock pot). I used to eat huge portions and anything put in front of me. I did not even want to finish what I brought for lunch. Maybe it's it all the water I'm drinking. Whatever, I feel great 2 months of Paleo. Why all the hate towards Paleo? Some people go out of their way…

Having such a hard time
Here I go again. I really need some encouragement. I am supposed to be doing strict Paleo. Not just for dieting reasons but per my doctor's instructions to figure out what's messing up my digestive system. I saw him in january at $300 then paid for a $400 stool test and also had a complete blood panel. I was ready to go. I…

Paleo Nachos
I love nachos. Always have, even as a kid. Not that weird nachos variation with tortilla chips with melted cheese on top, or canned, mushy refried beans on top of soggy corn chips - blah - but real nachos, with a big hearty bowl of chill meat, a salsa and guacamole topping my chips. It was, in all honesty, heart-breaking…

I'm failing
I just don't get it. Before the holidays, I was 100% Paleo, no issues what so ever. Then depression hit. It was the first holiday season since the death of my baby brother. After the holidays I tried getting back on track.... and am failing every day. I don't understand. What is different from now and then?! Why can't I be…

I'm new to Primal/Paleo- would love support!
I'm on day 10 of primal blueprint ( though after reading more I realize that I overdid it on carbs last week from nuts!) I have adjusted my macros (1600 cals 50% fat 40% protein 10% carbs- to keep these around 50 per day) and started logging everything and am finding it pretty easy. Week one I lost 2 lbs. but even better-…
