New to Primal and Feeling Like Poop
Hello all :) I have just started eating Primal (according to Mark Sisson's PBP) and I have to say, I feel pretty awful and "sunk in" today. I've been reading around some forums for support and thought I'd ask for any advice anyone may have to offer here. My diary will be open momentarily if anyone wants to take a look at…

Quick suggestions help with meals
Hey all, life can get busy, and sometimes trying to be primal/paleo can be difficult! I'm not trying to make excuses, but some days you have work, kids, workouts, and nothing defrosted, and I am looking for a quick meal where I am not cooking! If you have ideas let me know.. I realize that cracking a can good is not…

Does natural eating make your urine stinky?
I mean, really, really odoriferous. I notice it's like that when I've been sticking to paleo/primal. When I put SAD foods back in my diet, everything is back to normal.

Earth's Children fans?
Hey, wondered if any of y'all have read the Earth's Children series by Jean Auel ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_Children ) Other than the monotonous sex scenes and going into WAY too much detail about landscapes, they're a pretty good picture of the time frame we're basing our diet on. Also, if anyone can recommend…

Help! my bone both tastes like...
nothing. Never made it before, but I baked 10 or so beef marrow bones for an hour at 350, then transferred them to the crockpot, covered with water and cooked on low for 12 hours, then added some carrots and celery and cooked for 24 more hours. I turned it off and strained it, then let it cool in the fridge, and now all I…

High fat/ low carb?
How exactly does that work? I lift weights often, but I don't train in the crossfit way, more like bodybuilding. I've recently incorporated some crossfit into my workout regimens and I gotta say, I love it.. but this paleo diet is on my mind right now. How exactly does the low carb, but high fats work? Someone care to…

Explaining Intermittant Fasting to Children
This week I'm low in Paleo/Primal friendly foods and thought to myself that it would be a good time to incorporate intermittent fasting both to give my body a break and to save on food costs. The kids, however, were very concerned that I wasn't sitting down and having my usual foods with them. I couldn't figure out how to…

Omega 3 -- TMI
I'm just wondering if there is a connection here. I take some supplements, I won't list them all here, but they have not changed for a really long time. Then I ran out of my Omega 3. I thought, no biggie, I'll reorder and get some more. There were a couple of weeks in there where I didn't have any. I also at the same time…

Goal achieved!
The scale said 120.2 this morning, FINALLY! Now I have to figure out what will keep me there, AND try really hard to add some exercise to my sedentary lifestyle. My next goals are to tone up, and to gradually get stricter on Paleo until I'm back to 100%. I also need to schedule a Dr. appointment to get a complete thyroid…

My Paleo/Primal Plan
I started eating paleo hardcore in November and did a very successful Whole30 over Thanksgiving even. I started a 2nd Whole30 on January 2nd and completely flopped it on day 14. Now I'm having a terrible time getting my mojo back, I'm finding myself eating Paleo most of the time but "cheating" a whole lot more than I'd…

Rutabagas
Rutabagas are a running joke in my house. In the bathtub, we say to our toddlers "Let me clean those rutabagas out of your belly button". When they ask for a treat, we say "How about some yummy rutabagas?".... "Ewwwww, nooooo!!!!" When they don't listen, we say "What do you have in your ears, rutabagas?" It cracks them up…

Minimum Calories?
I've been eating primal since Jan 1 and have become much more aware of how my body reacts to food and how much I've been eating. One thing lately I've noticed is that I'm not eating a lot but I am not hungry either. Is there a minimum amount of calories I should be eating? The way I figure it is that I shouldn't eat if I'm…

How did you start? Finding will power to take the plunge?
Hey there, For the past 6 months, I've been sort of flirting with some primal recipes, reading the books, bringing down my carb %, and paying attention to added sugars way more than I used to. But at the end of the day I'm still not really primal at all. I might have a week here or there where I successfully have eggs and…

I'm not a rabbit so i dont eat dry lettuce.. what do you all use for salad dressings? I've used balsamic vinegar but that gets old real quick. Can i use ranch or thousand…

Do's & Dont's = confused!!
The more I read on web sites and these forums (not to mention other primal/paleo peoples diaries) the more confused I get as to what we are supposed to not be eating. If I took what I read at face value then pretty much anything goes depending on who you ask. Can someone please clarify for me what you should NOT be eating…

customizing goals
Hi everyone- I just started MFP this week . Just wondering if people customize their carb/protein / fat/ ratio on their goals, since eating this way says I am way over on that fat and protein. If so what do most people re-set their ratios to? I would like to lose 30 pounds . Thanks!

Lowering Carbs
Hi guys! I'm pretty new to this group and have pretty much dived into primal eating (yes, I had a 900-calorie Ghiradelli binge session last nihgt, but aside from that...) but am having a hard time lowering my carbs. I eat a lot of fruits and veggies and try to get my fiber up to 30g/day (before I went primal I was eating…

Any good Paleo recipe sites with nurtition given?
I want to start Paleo, however noticed (similar to someone else's post) that there aren't a whole lot of sites that include nutritional values. I still want to track my calorie intake to make sure I'm staying within range, even if I am eating cleaner. Any good website suggestions?

ANOTHER reason I love paleo!
I have always had pretty fine hair. When I started dieting and exercising I noticed that there was more than normal in the drain every time I took a shower (sorry if TMI). I just noticed yesterday that since I have dramatically increased my protein consumption, it has been a few days since I have even seen any hair in the…
