for a while I was doing paleo and doing really well. Then I was diagnosed with food intolerances that amounted to pretty much everything protein. Have recently decided that I don't care about my food intolerances because I can't eat that way for life. I am trying to come back to Paleo but I feel very confused with all of…

Hunger pangs different on Primal?
I started eating Primal on Jan 1 and since then I have noticed that my hunger pangs are different. Before switching to Primal I would get hungry every 2-3 hours and the hunger was the kind that seemed to be deep in my belly and screaming to be fed RIGHT NOW. I got to feeling that I would pass out if I didn't eat something…

Kid friendly Paleo meals?
My husband and I just recently decided to change the entire family to Paleo eating. One of our daughters has a bunch of behavioral and health conditions. Meds are not an option for her so we thought diet changes would be our only option. I am trying to get a stock pile of recipes together. I was wondering what some of your…

How to track calories on Paleo Diet?
I have done some research trying to find cookbooks or websites that will give me great recipes but also the calorie counts. So far I have been unable to find that. There seems to be TONS of recipes out there but none that offer a calorie count that I can plug into Myfitnesspal. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Zone of Misery
Today I woke up after a horrible nights sleep with the worst stomach cramps and headache. Ive not been feeling too great the last couple of days after having 1-2 days after my carb flu where I felt okay. I couldnt stomach the thought of egg and sausage or anything fatty and gave in and had the most boring breakfast…

"Snacksize" bulletproof coffee and silly phobia
I keep reading that bulletproof coffee is pretty fantastic, at least enough to warrant giving it a try. I don't do dairy, but I see that a lot of people do coconut oil only and get the same great energy boost. So I'm trying an 8 oz coffee with a tsp of coconut oil in it...all the recipes suggest a tablespoon or more, but I…

New Here
Hi Everyone, So I was recently diagnosed with a bunch of food intolerances including gluten, dairy, soy, white potatoes, and several more. I was talking to a friend about it and she suggested that it might be best for me to look into the Paleo Lifestyle. I Googled it and there are a million websites. Does anyone have…

Losing too fast?
So I started Primal on Jan 1 and I've lost 17 pounds so far (almost a pound a day). I know in traditional diet plans they want you to lose no more than 2 pounds per week but was curious if that held true in Primal. When I'm hungry, I eat, when I'm not I don't. The last two days I realized I am not hungry at lunch time when…

Paprika?
So, I have finally gotten my act together and really fully embraced the paleo lifestyle. I've pretty much cut our all the fruit, am eating a ton of protein, and am getting under 50 carbs in a day and I feel really awesome! Instead of having a fresh produce juice in the mornings (that I make with my juicer) I have switched…

Supplements
I've read a lot in the "Paleosphere" about supplementing magnesium and/or vitamin D. Does anyone supplement either of these? If so, have you noticed any benefits?

New to Paleo, can't breathe
Hi, I've been trying Paleo for about two and half weeks now. Mostly to lose weight but also to address my GERD. 1) Dieting: I don't have a lot to lose. Maybe 6 to 8 pounds at most. Most people would tell you I already look fit, but I know I'm 2 sizes larger and 15 pounds heavier than before I had kids. So I need to lose…

gallbladder removal and fat digestion
Last November, I had my gallbladder removed. Now, I have a problem digesting fat. Food will either sit in my stomach for hours until I get sick or it moves through me too quickly. I have tried many diets and paleo seems to be the only one that makes me feel healthy and energetic, but my digestion is a mess. I have tried…

Where to go for Paleo?
I am finding out (quickly and increasingly), most of the food at a typical grocery store are not Paleo - they contain all sorts of extras that I don't want, even the "fresh" stuff. Where do you go shopping for foods/snacks/etc? Also, what do you do at restaurants? Health is my priority, but I don't want to break the bank…

Why No Snacking
I snack. So, that's that. But, all the reading I do, they say DO NOT SNACK. Like snacking is the evil empire. What's the deal? I have light snacks, like maybe some walnuts, or maybe an orange, or maybe an avocado. you know, healthful yummy food. But, all my readings say no snacking on Paleo. Anyone want to venture a guess…

Bacon
So I was wondering if anyone knew the best "paleo" brand of bacon? I live in the UK, so might not have all the fancy stuff you do in America! Ive just noticed lots of bacon have things I cant pronounce in them! Oh and is Sodium Nitrite (?) Okay to consume? its in the over the counter deli meat I have
