Snacks?
I'm having a hard time finding paleo snacks that are lower in sugar (ie. not fruit). I'm trying to lose weight so I'm attempting to cut sugar out of my diet as much as possible but that seems to be ruining my options for snacks... Anyone have low sugar snack ideas?

Paleo and Supplements/Vitamins
Hello Paleo MFPers, I'm curious about your thoughts on Vitamins and Supplements, and which ones your take daily and why. I had a nice concoction of vitamins that I had to stop for a week in order to conduct medical tests (Vitamin D, B, Calcium, Probiotic, Chromium, Fish Oil, and thyroid support). After that week "off my…

Open paieo diary?
Hi again, I started paleo just this week. After months of a plateau, I freakishly dropped almost 3 pounds in five days. I am not really complaining, but am concerned about the possibility that I am missing some major things in my diary. I haven't been logging my exercise, but I do the shred every morning and run for at…

Do you eat your calories from exercise?
Okay friends! Please help me decide if I should, or shouldn't, eat the calories I gain from exercise. I am not talking about my daily activity that burns things, I am talking about my work outs! Just want to know what is working or not working for others! Thank you!!

Another bulletproof coffee question...AM workouts...
Yesterday, I had my first cup of bulletproof coffee (I used organic coffee, 1T organic unsalted butter and 1T organic coconut oil). I drank it at about 6:30AM - did not do a morning workout - and was not hungry all morning - ended up having lunch around 1PM - no morning snacks. Today, I drank 1/2 cup of bulletproof coffee…

Finger foods?
Good morning, all! It's a gorgeous, sunny, COOL morning here in NE Ohio and life is good. :-) Anyway, going to a big dog show this weekend and a few friends and I are renting an RV to stay in. Fridge space will be snug. Normally when we've gone to this, I've lived off PB&J all weekend. Obviously that's not an option this…

bulletproof coffee recipe
To all you bulletproof coffee drinkers, how do you make yours? I have never tried it but I like the sounds of it. I'm curious about quantities. I can't get grassfed butter but I bought some ghee today and I have coconut oil already. What quantities of these are you guys using? Does one tablespoon of each sound right? Also,…

Another new Paleo-ite, looking for friends/support!
Hi there, I've searched out the support group for those following Paleo as the main boards can get a bit heated about Paleo. I'm looking to add friends for support, share ideas, recipes, suggestions and of course to encourage and support. I'm 38, new-ish to Paleo, and already picked up the cookbook Everyday Paleo and have…

Arrowroot
I have some pretty serious grain sensitivities. I've seen arrowroot in some Primal dessert and bread recipes, like this one: http://www.joyfulabode.com/2011/09/12/grainfree-glutenfree-primal-pumpkin-bread/. I'm going on a roadtrip, so I thought that pumpkin bread might be a good thing to take along, but I am kind of scared…

Egg Muffin question
Hello, new to Paleo and starting off slow. I did try to make the egg muffins and they are very yummy! Mine fell in the middle and stuck to the pan horribly. Any ideas? Should I just use butter to grease the pans? I appreciate any insight you can give me. Thanks!

Veggie Juice
Hi Guys, I was wondering if anyone had opinions of juicing on the paleo diet. I used to juice daily (cucumbers, pairs, brocoli stems, spinach, kale, carrots, and mint leaves) and was wanting to start again but I wasn't sure a) If it would cause an insulin spike and b) how to input it into MFP. I was thinking of juicing a…

Need some support to get back to Primal
I did the leptin reset at the beginning of the year, then went Primal. I lost about 30 pounds . Some stuff happened and I fell off the wagon. I've kept off the 30 pounds, and I'm fluctuating in the same 4 pounds, which sucks (and I know it's my own fault). There are a few things I'd love some input on. I am working nights…

Can you eat to much protien?
This may be a stupid question but I haven't completely read through my book yet. Can you get to much protien on the paleo diet? I remember when I drank protien shakes in the past I was told to only get 30g in each drink. If you get more than that, the rest turns to sugar in your body. Is that right?

Any tips for eating primal on a budget?
I am on day 6 of eating primal, and I am really starting to enjoy it. The only problem is that the food cost is breaking me. Anyone have any tips? Thanks :)

Organ meats?
My name is Jessica and I'm new to this little group, and to Paleo. What are your stances on organ meats? (liver, kidneys, hearts) And if any of you eat them, have any good recipes? I'm slightly revolted at the idea but I've decided to suck it up and try liver, who knows, I might be missing out!

Oh crap, I am losing my mind
To recap my saga, I started on paleo for a while, then fell off the wagon because "just one cracker" turned into "NOMGRAINSSSSS!" So I've been trying to get back on it, and I finally changed my c/f/p ratios to reflect a higher-fat diet. My carbs were already low, but I lowered them a little further. I've done well with the…

My best reason for eating Paleo
Morning all. I have found THE best reason [for me] ever for eating Paleo/Primal and sticking to it. We had a baby shower for one of the docs at work on Tuesday and our annual picnic on Wednesday, and I ate some SAD food as an experiment of sorts. I was curious to see how re-exposure would affect me after avoiding that…

Soaking Nuts to Reduce Lectins
I've read a few articles that suggest soaking nuts for greater digestibility. I definitely have a lectin sensitivity, but I am having trouble keeping in a healthy calorie range without nuts, so I want to try soaking them. Has anyone had any luck with this?

Bulletproof Coffee
I keep reading about how good bulletproof coffe is for you. I was just doing some research and apparently you should only be using coffee with no mold. Where do you get your mold free coffee from? I live in Canada, so not sure if it will be as easily accessable to me. Also, what do you put in yours? And where did you get…
