Sugar cravings
My biggest paleo problem is sugar cravings! I'm fine throughout the day, but after dinner I get mad sugar cravings. I will reach for a small piece of dark chocolate, which only makes me want (and then eat) more. After reading other posts here and articles online, I'm thinking that my cravings are in my actual nutrition of…

Carb Flu?
Hi, I've been eating organic/pastured foods cooked at home as much as I can afford for well over a year. Since November, I've been trying to move to far less carbs and with the New Year, decided it was time to "do this". Up until now, I've pretty much limited sweets to those naturally sweetened (agave went in November) to…

Autoimmune Paleo Diet vs. Food Sensitivity/Allergy Testing
After my Whole30 is done in a couple more weeks, I'm going to return to dairy to see how I feel. I honestly don't miss it as much as I thought I would.

Made a bone broth but it's disgusting!
I made a broth this weekend in my crockpot using beef marrow bones and some veggies. The smell is so disgusting it makes me want to vomit. I let it sit in my fridge overnight so I could skim the fat, which I did but I still gagged when my nose went near it. I can't even taste it! And now my crockpot smells like it too. Am…

Why the controversy!
Struggling to understand why Primal/Paleo provokes such controversy, even anger for some people. Some of the comments I've had about doing Whole30 as a starter for ten: "That's too restrictive, it's bad for you not to eat grains, your body needs them" "That's basically an eating disorder, you don't eat anything with any…

Paleo for athletes
BAre there any athletes here who do Paleo? I'm talking about 2+ hours of sports training happening on the daily. I'd love to hear how Paleo is working for you in terms of energy and strength for your sport. I am a softball player and want to ensure I will be "well fueled" to get into season in a few weeks.

Whats your take on "less than 2%..."?
So this might be a total newbie question, but I just want to see what you all think. I've noticed several brands of sausage, bacon, etc. have "less than 2% of sugar, spices, etc" listed on their ingredients list. So I'm asking the age-old question - Paleo or not Paleo? (Yes I understand there are some items that are grey…

Question about the free cookbook that was posted today...
So I started reading the cookbook that someone posted about being free earlier today on Amazon. The end of the first chapter says, and I quote: "The Paleo diet is not a body building diet. If you want to pump up your muscles, this diet will not be beneficial to you. The principles of this diet are directly opposed to this…

Cholesterol
The beginning of last year, my diet was horrible. I wish I had the blood work from then (all I remember is that my total cholesterol was around 240), but my doctor mentioned cholesterol meds at our regular visit. I raised a brow at him, and said I'd get back on my Paleo diet and we'll see how it looks next time. He was…

Flavored water
Mio has been a life-saver because it gets me to drink more water...HOWEVER, it's not very Paleo of me (artificial sweetener). What else can I use? I know of lemon juice...but its not sweet. Is this something I just need to suck it up and get used to or is there something else I can use in place of the Mio?
