Paleo - "No going back" is crucial.
I apologize because this is a bit of a cross-posting, but I thought it was worth it. I finally watched all of Big Fat Lies today and then had an interesting discussion with a friend of mine who is finishing up her medical residency. She said that one thing that the medical community is concerned about - based on research…

Soy sauce?
I am currently doing the Whole 30 and soy sauce is prohibited. Is it allowed as part of a regular paleo diet? I can't seem to find a definitive answer.

Paleo/Primal restaurant guide?
Within my community of friends/social life we eat out a lot. We are all diverse so eating out works best as an easy activity to do after work to keep our relationships/friendships and up to date (as well as not being all work or not having similar interests). Is there a paleo or primal restaurant guide anywhere for…

My B-Day Treat Recipe
I am making mini-cheesecakes for my hubby's b-day (which is 1 day after mine) and to bring them to work for my b-day, but I can't eat it, so I was feeling a bit sulky. Then, I was chatting about meat with someone and had a Bright Idea that the HUGE treat for me will be lamb!!! It's super-expensive here, my folks don't like…

Proof the Paleo diet and all its fats WONT kill you
My company, Hilcorp Energy Company, is awesome for many reasons one of them being our free annunal health screenings. Since I started working with them last April, I've had two screenings to date. The interesting thing is that I changed my diet from Vegetarian to Paleo just after last year's screening so the change in the…

Primal/Paleo Costs?
I'd love to go primal/paleo to add to my intermittent fasting, but I'm afraid I can't afford it. I eat pastured eggs (from a local backyard farmer), and I prefer to eat only naturally raised meat which means a lot of soup, example my 1# naturally raised chuck steak made 4 large serving of soup for me (with lots of veggies…

Freezer Meal Ideas
So, October - February is going to be brutal for me-- mostly Oct - Dec. Although I could live off eggs in the evenings or just IF and skip dinner or go back to my Skittles/Cheetos/Diet Coke diet (seriously-- lost 5 lbs last summer, but yeah... not healthy) I'd like to have some healthy freezer meal options. Especially…

Sugar cravings won't end!
I am two weeks into my Whole 30 and I wish I could say that my cravings for anything sweet has vanished. I have done a no sugar thing before but this in conjunction with the elimination of just about everything else I love is so hard. I haven't cheated with sweets but I did plow through a bag of dried fruit and nut mix.…

Primal and Sleep
I was wondering if anyone else noticed changes in their sleep quality or sleep patterns when they first started Primal. A little background: I've been having progressively more and more difficulty sleeping (both falling asleep and staying asleep) as the years have gone on on the SAD. It is to the point now where I have to…

I started Whole30 on Sept 4, so I am 16 days in. I started this not thinking I have a colonoscopy on Friday and that there is the day and a half prep work. Starting today after lunch and all day tomorrow I have to drink only clear liquids, nothing else. I can stick with organic broths, no sugar added juice and water, but…
