Fish oil dosage
Hi my primal/paleo friends! I know the topic has been discussed many times already... and not everybody does agree with it. But for the ones among you that regularly take it, what kind of dosage do you use and on what did you base your choice? (Maybe you have literature recommendations here, books or anything that really…

Paleo Children??
Hello, I am researching and trying to figure out if Paleo is something I would like to switch my daughter and my diets to. She is 20 months old and allergic to eggs. She really enjoys veggies and fruit so I don't think that will be a problem. She also really really loves fishies and pasta and all the things you can't have…

Cheat Days?
I have been eating strict paleo for 4.5 days now. My origional goal was to just try it out for a week. But I am finding myself LOVING this new eating style. I want to keep it up for the long run but I am nervous because I can't imagine myself giving up some of my favorite foods forever and I feel like I will fail if I…

First Week-Looking for Re-assurance
I am currently on day 5 of my new lifestyle and some crazy things are happening to my body. I have been waking up with very low blood sugar and have experienced what I am pretty sure are hypoglycemic episodes. I am light headed, nauseated, sweaty, shakey, etc. I have to take a medication for my thyroid in the morning and…

Dating in a Non-Paleo World
I'm returning to the dating scene after about 12 years or so (yay.). It's kind of weird seeing these ages pop up. Those numbers don't go down, do they? Anyhow, now I'm encountering the fallout that people are experiencing from a lifetime of the standard American diet. Granted, there are situations that absolutely require…

What were your changes since becoming Paleo/Primal.
Hello, My gf and I started Paleo about 3-4 weeks ago. We have noticed some good changes. She has lost 10lbs, I have lost about 5lbs. We both have a tremendous amount of extra energy. We have been able to concentrate more. Overall we feel great. I wanted to know what other benefits other people have had. Since we only been…

Making bone broth again
Since my first attempt at making bone broth was a complete disaster I was a bit apprehensive about trying again. My dr really wants me to drink it every day so I got some bones from whole foods yesterday and tried again. This time I roasted the bones to release a lot of the fat. See, last time I skipped this step and my…

Think your raw almonds are really raw?
http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_26852.cfm I'm shocked by this. I eat 2, or sometimes 3 ounces of almonds a day. I think I'll be switching back to black walnuts. This site has more information: http://www.actionforalmonds.org/

Growing Up
As a child, I can remember my parents cooking and never using processed foods. Always pure ingredients for cooking, baking, etc. Homemade everything. We were never overweight, played outside (did not sit in front of a TV, computer, etc.) and were happy. Parents always planned on weekends hikes thru parks, etc, with picnics…

Grains?
I was struggling with my workouts on paleo, but when I swapped to having more carbs in the day, I found my evening workouts went heaps better, had a ton more energy, no heartburn, and didn't get the bonk half way through. I do endurance cycling, mountain biking, that sort of thing, so when training heavily I do burn a lot…

I'm new here :)
HI all! I just joined the group and have been scanning some of your posts and have already found several helpful things! My Dr. actually put me on an "anti-inflammatory" diet, which I have found to be closest to Paleo but with some added restrictions (no rice of any kind, only sweet potatoes, everything below 55 on the…

Paleo Valentine's treats
What is everyone doing for V-Day? I decided to make a strawberry coconut milk ice cream. I can't eat chocolate or nuts so baked goods are out so I decided to try this instead. It's still churning, but so far it tastes pretty good.

I LOVE DIET COKE!!!
There, I said it. I am 100% on board with the primal lifestyle, but I just can't seem to give up the diet coke. That said, since going primal, I have cut it down dramatically - I used to drink several a day, and now I just have one at lunch. If this is my only SAD indulgence, how bad is it? Thoughts? Anyone else in the…

Hard numbers: body fat, weight, a realistic goal ... Ack!
I need to bounce this off of somebody, to make sure I'm thinking this through right. Current weight: 229# Current bf%: approx. 36% LBM: 147# BF: 82# I had my goal weight set to 150, but I just went back and refigured stuff. If I can hold onto all 147# of LBM and can get my BF to 20%, my weight would be between180-185#.…

Exercise Calories
Do you eat your exercise calories? MFP gave me 1099 extra ones today. Too many! Can I save them for a rainy day. Eating Paleo has me pretty satisfied at 1,500.

What's on the menu today? (Pics appreciated!)
Figured that we should probably have one of these threads - the Recipes section has one, so why shouldn't we? Post up what Paleo/Primal meals you're having today. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, etc. Why? Why not! I figure that it'll be good for us to share what we had, give each other ideas and inspirations for recipes…

I bought some frozen turkey legs (I think there's 3 in the pkg) a while back, with an idea to cook them in the crock pot. Does anyone have any good ideas for me?
