New and Need Advice
I started doing Paleo/Primal 2 weeks ago. Basically, dropped all the processed stuff, switched to honey(only in coffee in AM), changed to almond milk instead of soy/milk(for hormone reasons since I am 41), increased veggies and fruits, and eat yogurt and cheese(aged) 3 to 4 times a week. I am also an avid athlete: swim 12…

New to Paleo/ Question about cake
I have been doing paleo for 2 weeks now. I have been feeling great. I have not had a problem not eating the processed foods I normally would. But Saturday night I was at a benefit for our local food pantry and decided to have a small piece of cake. I didn't even finish it, after a few bites it was really unappealing. That…

Calories, Macros or both?
Hi everyone. After reading a lot here, 2 weeks ago I adjusted my macros to 25g sugar, 50g carbs, 65g protein, 94g fat (15%c, 20%p 65%f) with my calorie goal between 1300-150 calories. Having been a MFP member for awhile now (years), I find myself worried about not eating enough calories. Pre-caveman (*snicker*), I needed…

Paleo & Spirituality - NSV
So yesterday I almost gave in. I had struggled a little with the fact that the Paleo premise goes against everything that I believe as far as a creationist because it’s based on evolution. It was a mental struggle andI haven’t really had time to research it much. I did well with my food choices yesterday but after bible…

The Question of Cost
I just finished a 36 day paleo-ish cleanse/elimination diet. I kept all of my grocery receipts and for 5 weeks I came up with a total of $517.76. I purchased ONLY organic meats and bought mostly organic fruits and veggies, but not always (only because of budgetary constraints). My shopping was at Sprouts and Whole Foods.…

Supplements
Hello everyone :flowerforyou: I noticed a running trend in my diet, despite my efforts, is that I rarely meet iron, calcium, or vitamin D daily recommended intake. As for vitamin D, it's difficult to get this year round where I live and I am indoors a lot. Would anyone recommend taking supplements to fill this void? Are…

Have lost 8lbs my first week/feeling better than ever
This has given me a new lease on life and leaves me always feeling like i don't need more food. I love the feeling I get and it seems like such a simple concept. I exercised for 2 hrs today and hardly broke a sweat at 65-75% of max hr. I do have a question as to weather or not people do the cardio everyday or just 4 like…

Azure Standard
Anyone use this company to order bulk food items? I think they may only be in the US but I'm not positive.. just wondering if anyone uses them and what they get? I know they had 1 gallon of coconut aminos for $50, that seemed much cheaper than other places I've looked.

Starting over w/at least one kid on board
Hello! I had success w/Paleo in the past (lost about 20 pounds or so) but fell off and it's taken me a while to get back on. I recently got my son (10 years old) to sort of get on the bandwagon with me (he is average weight, but would like to help me make healthier choices). I have all sorts of Paleo books (the Paleo…

Carbs
I'm primal or "lacto-paleo" and am having difficulty meeting 100g of carbohydrate a day. I am usually over my fat macros and very low on carbs and I need some more balance. The main carb heavy things I eat at the moment are apples, dried fruit and sweet potato and I could do with some more ideas?

My last vestiges of soy...gone!
About two weeks ago, I threw out my extensive collection of miso. Today, I dumped my stash of shoyu down the drain, about 1/2 gallon's worth. Bye bye soy! I have my little bottle of coconut aminos for my seasoning pleasure, and I really dig the stuff. Anyone know where to buy it on the cheap?

Costco: A Paleo Wonderland
Today, I went to Costco, specifically to get some produce and to stock up on virgin coconut oil and chia seeds. By the time I had checked out, I was dancing on air, I was so excited with some of my finds! Here are the highlights: Carrington Farms organic, extra virgin coconut oil (pure, unrefined, cold-pressed): $15.99 for…

Trying to get it right...Help!
So, I will preface this post with an admission that I am a huge control freak/can't do anything in moderation type person. I am fairly new to paleo, but I have been eating pretty much no grains for a few months now cuz it makes me feel better physically(what brought me to paleo in the first place). I have about 20 vanity…

Never make my protein
I just had a quick question. Is it really bad to not hit your fat/protein goals? I eat mostly Primal and I have my macros set at 15%carb/40%protein/45%fat .. I seem to always or mostly hit that 81carb goal, only sometimes hit my fat (usually only if we eat out somewhere), but I don't think I've ever hit my protein goal. I…

Taking vitamins
Ok, I work as an elementary school secretary and am a part-time student. We had a snow-day last Friday, so I thought it'd be a great time to try to eat so I get all my nutrients without the help of vitamins. Oh my lord... I feel like I've done nothing but eat for three days. I usually don't eat more than once or twice a…

Vegetables...
So, I've been having a really hard time getting my veggies in. My house is stocked with nightshades of various types, peas, corn... a bunch of stuff that I shouldn't be eating on the plan. Most of this is because my daughter will eat those... Needless to say, I've been avoiding legumes, corn etc and haven't really been…
