1 month!
Hey everyone! A month ago I posted about how I have no willpower and need help! You guys gave me the encouragement to just do it. And I did! Unfortunately, I wouldn't say I'm anywhere close to perfect, but bit by bit I've been trying to follow the recommendations in the Primal Blueprint. I'd like to think I'm following the…

calories?
Hi gang, My name is Jen. I started paleo 2 days ago and am trying to get my feet on sold ground here. My holistic doctor actually encouraged me to try paleo to help releive symptoms of MS. I also think this is the plan for me, something that makes sense for me. I need to lose weight as well, but honestly...I just want to…

Weight Plateau, any ideas?
So I have been stuck at the same weight (fluctuating 1-4 pounds) for about 4 months now and I can't get unstuck. I have tried upping calories, reducing calories, upping carbs, lowering carbs. You name it I've tried it. I started primal in January 2012, and I started IFing in June 2012 and did that until my weight got stuck…

I need to know more!! :)
I'm so intrigued by this lifestyle & want to know more! I've recently started eating clean & organic (since December) & feel so much better dropping processed/packaged foods, but I know I'm still eating things I shouldn't! In June 2012, I got hives. I didn't think anything of it but 7 months later, I still get them daily.…

Fatigued - Opinions?
Hi everyone! I'm a little over three weeks into my second ever Whole30 (first one was about a year ago). I've been gluten free for over six months now, but I found that I was relying a bit too much on gluten-free grains/sugar as time went on.. so I decided to jump back on the Whole30 wagon. When I did my first Whole30, I…

New Group Member
Hi everyone I started Paleo on Monday, so only 3 days in. Feeling good so far and lots of energy which is good. My main issue will be finding different lunches to have at work - I can see I will get bored with salads each day. We don't have access to rings or an oven - but we do have a small microwave. I'm trying Paleo for…

My Paelo Journey Thus Far - with comments on juice fasting
Paelo has worked very well for me, so much so that I thought it might be helpful to share my journey thus far. Here's how it started: November 10-17, 2012 - went on a vacation and ate like absolute crap. My pants starting feeling tight, I was tired and just not feeling great. I had been reading a bunch of entries on…

Intimidated by Crossfit
I have been reading and seeing videos about Crossfit. It looks fun but I am a bit intimidated. Everyone looks so fit and I am not there. Not that many choices here in Mexico...one new class a few blocks from me. Teacher reassures me that we will take our time. I have a herniated disc that gives me trouble from time to…

Whole Foods coconut milk
I bought two cans last week because I was going to make coconut whipped cream this past weekend for a gluten free cake I made. I stuck the cans in the fridge for a couple days prior in order to thicken the cream. But when I opened the can I was disappointed to see that the cream did not thicken up and separate from the…

what are you macro percentages?
Hi, I'm new here but have done a primal diet in the past. Did great with it....felt great, lost 25#....then....kaboom, fell off the wagon and couldn't (or didn't want to?) get back on. Now two years later I'm back. I'm just sick of being sick, tired and fat. Anyway, my question is...how do you break down your macros? Right…

Milk v. Coconut milk
I have given up diary on several occasions just to see if I noticed a difference in my health, and I don't. Currently, I use coconut milk (SO Delicious, unsweetened) instead of milk, but I am debating the benefits of keeping this up. The rest of my family uses organic whole milk, and its easier just to buy one gallon of…

Primal on 1500 calories a day?
When I first started primal, I focused on just eating healthy foods and avoiding poisonous things. I lost a few pounds but then hit a plateau. I realized after I started tracking my calories on this site, my calorie count was too high. So now I have the challenge of trying to stay within my 1500 calorie range while still…

Switching to paleo
I am considering making a huge change and going Paleo.. Not to lose weight, but to better my health. I have a skin disease that I have been battling since OCT 2010 when it randomly began. I have been told it is a lifelong issue with no cure. I've been put on antibiotics and given antibiotic creams and hate it. I do not…
