Overeating
So I realised when I went paleo (on 10th day now) that I overeat to the extreme. I realised this because I am always incredible full due to this new way of eating, yet I continue to eat. I tried buying some dark chocolate to help with cravings but have realised I cannot have that in the house so threw out the last I had…

Constipation!!!!

I eat dark leafy greens. 3 rounds of miralax yesterday and 2 today. I look pregnant and I'm a miserable *****. Yes I drink water and I'm doing 2 cups of hot…

Would like some opinions...
As I am sure many of you know because I have been posting here excessively since joining the group recently, I am new to the "somewhat" paleo lifestyle. I started looking into eating this way because I noticed that I feel much better when I don't eat any grains or sugar and I noticed the paleo lifestyle supports this. I…

FitBit?
I'm very new to this MFP world....I noticed that there is a way to sync your FitBit with the information on here. I basically track my carbs/fat/protein ratio on here. No real concern for calories, but they do seem to be within 100 or so of what they state I should be in without really trying. That being said, I am curious…

Need More Protein...Help!
I am about 10 days into switching to Paleo and so far feel pretty good! I still have a bit of weight to lose (10-15 lbs) and am interested in my macros, but not obsessive. My problem is I can't seem to get enough protein! I am never above 100g. I usually average between 70-80g on a good day. I know my carbs are high…

Switching to Primal/Paleo
Dr. suggested looking into and even going paleo/primal due to insulin resistance. I could use some supportive friends to assist, so please add me if you like :-) Also are there any sites or books out there you suggest for a noob? I am a little confused with where to start :-/ Thank you xoxo

Hurrah! My doctor gets it
I have a new GP, and went to see her this morning for a medication review. She asked me about my diet. I didn't say that I did Paleo (tends to put people off if you give it a label) but I told her that I had removed grains, alcohol, dairy and processed food, and no refined sugar, and she said "oh, well that all sounds very…

Nitrites and Nitrates in Bacon
I came across this article on Chris Kresser's website, The Nitrate and Nitrite Myth: Another Reason not to Fear Bacon. http://chriskresser.com/the-nitrate-and-nitrite-myth-another-reason-not-to-fear-bacon This is contradictory to what I've read before and been told when trying to find bacon and sausages. Has anyone else…

crazy low calories and balancing protein/fat/carbs
Okay, perhaps the food items listed are not accurate, but today I ate wonderfully, lusciously, and my calories came to 1300. Crazy! I so love paleo! I am still learning a lot, trying to figure out roughly how many grams of protein, fat and carbs to aim for. Today I had 61 grams carbs, 76 grams fat and 101 grams protein.…

Primal/paleo eating and p-90x
I've been on a primal diet since last March and loving it. Now, I want to get my body back into shape; I had baby three years ago - used to get in 2 hour workouts but no time or gym membership now. This weekend, I'm starting p-90x but do not want to use their nutrition shakes and supplements. I hear it is intense and I…

Alcohol addiction
Have any of you noticed that in addition to food addictions you had one to alcohol while trying to eat healthy? I never realized how strong my desire/need to drink was until I ate Primal. Since Dec 28 I have had one bad day, full of sugar and processed foods, I also wanted to drink that day too. While eating primal though…

Question concerning alcohol...
I'm sure ears perked up when they saw that word :P My wife has been following a Primal diet for a week now, and I'm on my third day and really loving it so far thanks to her resourceful and yummy home cooking. But, we did have a question concerning alcohol. Which alcoholic drinks do you consider Ok to have on the…

kombu, wakame, and miso
I'm full of questions today because I'm updating my order for my weekly organic grocery delivery and branching my order out a bit. I love miso soup, and I find it a great and filling breakfast alternative on cold days, and it has good gut bacteria in it when it's unpasteurized. Since I don't want the regular kind with soy…

Getting a bunch of meat tomorrow, yay!
I placed an order with a local farm for one of their "family packs". It's 18 pounds of assorted grass fed meats. I figure it's a good way to find out what I like and don't like. I'll probably put some of it right into the fridge for meals this week. The only thing that's in the pack that I don't know what to do with is…

magnesium not working :(
Since starting Paleo in July I have only had a BM once or very rare 2-3 times a week. It is frustrating and I have tried almost everything. Laxatives do not work. Stool softeners do not work. The combination of the 2 do not work. I started taking magnesium 500mg a week and a half ago. I went once 2 days later and then not…

Why butter is better!
"Pass The Butter ... Please. This is interesting . .. . Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back. It was a…

Paleo/primal and calorie counting
Hi! New to the terms paleo/primal...but actually have been doing this for the better part of a year (have been less dedicated in the last few months). I am fine to go cold turkey on sugars, wheat, processed foods, chemicals etc. etc. What I'm wondering though, is..do you still bother to count calories on MFP or otherwise…

Why I ended up here - Consumer Reports.
Well that is a little deceiving of a title - but Consumer Reports rated several commercial and do-it-yourself dieting approaches. (that isn't the reason I ended up here) As previously posted Myfitnesspal and paleo both scored basically 1st and 2nd place for popularity. (that is why) Testament to this group is the…

Primal/Paleo MUST SEE Documentary
Hey all paleo peeps! Just wanted to drop in real quick and suggest a recent Documentary I watched. It's called, "The Perfect Human Diet" and it available on OnDemand (for those of you who have Optimum TV service) or I'm sure it's on Amazon. It's about how the diet of human beings evolved and gives a really unique…
