IBD?
Good morning all. Yesterday I came across another Paleo/Primal person who has IBD (lostredsock). I was curious to know if anyone else here has some form of IBD (Crohn's, UC, Celiac) and has found that the Paleo lifestyle has improved their overall health and helped them to stay in remission. Most of the people I know on…

Day Two: Going Paleo
Day two... Super tired.... Super drained. Hoping it gets better soon. I find it hard to push my workouts when I'm so pooped! Though this morning I woke up at 5 am and ready to go. With less than 8 hrs of sleep... this NEVER happens to me.

primal blueprint/paleo diet (day 25)
Hello again, I am bugging the community again.....sad to say, none of my bookstores carry the primal blueprint or the paleo diet, otherwise it would already be in my possession, it is also out and not to be had in the library, I am on the waiting list. So everything I know is from you guys, and I have made my share of my…

Curious about Exercise
So I am reading the Primal Blueprint now, and reviewing what he says about exercise. Basically, move around alot at a slow pace, lift heavy things, and sprint once in a while. Lift heavy things- all on board with that. Moving around alot, a good idea as well, and not hard for this NYC girl. He specifically calls out…

Zone Paleo Wha Wha Whaaat?
My Trainer today in CF mentioned I should look into the Zone Diet... I had mentioned I'm Paleo (Ok .... more like Primal sometimes BUT WHOSE COUNTING) And she mentioned that Zone might be something to look into because it restricts how much meat. So... meat is a daily thing in our house but so is vegetables and fruit. Does…

Paleo/Primal Breakfast Ideas
I'm new to Paleo/Primal eating and already I know my biggest challenge will be having quick breakfast options at my disposal. I already get up at 4:30 a.m. so I maybe have 15-20 minutes to do breakfast once I'm home for the gym and before I get the kid up and get us off to school/work. I subscribe to a lot of Paleo/Primal…

paleo plateau
Hello fellow cavemen (and women)! I have been following a primal diet for the last 5 weeks, with what I think is minimal cheating and I am not really seeing a big difference on the scale. Especially recently, since I have seem to have plateaued for the last two weeks. When I look at the break down of my daily calories,…

Recipe books?
Can anyone recommend any good websites, books or recipe books for a Paleo newbie?? Really want to see how I feel after 30 days as Rob Woff talks about in his "Paleo Solution". Any advice or help is appreciated! Thanks! :)

Ancestral Weight Loss Registry
Hey all! Read a great post today on MDA, thought I would share so we could all do this and continue to pass it along. Hopefully one day we can make others understand what we already know about how great Paleo/Primal living is. Give it a read!…

Seeking Paleo/Primal Buddies
Hello hello! I have been committed to a paleo lifestyle for roughly six months now and would LOVE some support from the MFP community. I should say that I am flexible at times (you'll see the occasional dove dark chocolate in my diary), but overall I stick to a paleo lifestyle because of how amazing it makes me feel. I am…

Ancestral Registry - primal/paleo peeps should register
I saw this on MDA. Thought it was a cool idea. Bottom line they are trying to collect anecdotal evidence from subscribers in order to have a larger data set on paleo or lower carb type "diets". Since it isn't a clinical study, it is a giant collection of N=1's studies where "you" enter your experiences and results from…

Day 2
Day 1 was a breeze! I even managed to deal with book club - passed on wine & all the stuff I can't eat! Today I feel a bit lathargic , have a bit of a headache and feel a little off. Wondering if it is the carb flu. I'm also super thirsty! I've had about seven 20 ounce glasses of water already -- it tastes so good!! If…

How are you gauging body fat?
Reading a lot of these posts, people are talking about their body fat. How are you gauging this? Just by an online calculator? My body fat doesn't matter THAT much to me, but I am curious. I eat paleo, pretty strict, run @ 4 days a week, and do some core and body weight exercises. I can see a difference, but again, would…

How do you deal with MyFitnessPal settings?
I want to use MFP (is that right?) to help me to track carbohydrate consumption. The darned thing has that annoying CALORIES thing that is the main bottom line...any way to also get some kind of sett-able CARB GOAL setting? Sheesh. (MyFitnessPal doesn't understand me! Fake sob!) My story: new to paleo/primal after a…

Back from Holidays...
Just spent 10 glorious days in Thailand and the first few days were pretty good with fresh fruits and meats but then all hell broke loose with beers, cocktails, noodles and delicious fresh seafood! Lots of great bacon and eggs for breakfast but ate my fair share in noodles and rice. Looking forward to getting back onto the…

Cheese & wine whine
Since I got on MFP 10 days ago and got serious about my diet again, I've mostly cut out cheese. I cut out dairy in the past with good results, but it always finds it's way back in. Well last night I made a super yummy dinner that used a fairly decent amount of cheddar cheese. While all my numbers looked good at the end of…

Reduce fruit/increase fat & meat?
Hey all- I was wondering if anyone had any experience with losing fat more effectively by reducing fruit consumption? I keep thinking I could do a heck of a lot better if I cut down on sugars even further than I already have. Problem is- I have and always have had a raging sweet tooth. Can't seem to shake it. I also think…

Upped my calories and still losing
Just thought I'd share this little insight in case it helps anybody. This week, I gave myself a challenge despite any doubts in my mind. Despite what I've been reading for half a year, I still was struggling with eating my exercise calories and eating over my BMR. My challenge this week was to eat to hunger within…

How quickly does the carb flu set in??
I am on day 2 and woke up with a nasty migraine that I cant shake. Is this possibly the start of the carb flu, or is it too early for that??

Woke up with a stitch in my side? WTHeck?
Just woke up at 2 am with a side stitch. My exercise has been normal (fairly light, brisk walks with charming dachshund companion, 20-30 minutes a day, morning and evening). Also slight heartburn (that I treated with green tea and aloe vera juice). Looked it up on the Internet with no success, really. Anyone have heard of…

looking for Paleo buddies
Add me :) I have been low carb for years but new to Paleo and so far loving it. I would love to see more for dairies for more ideas. I avoid dairy so dairy free Paleo food logs would be great!:wink:

Recommitting
I had been doing pretty well with being at least 80% paleo. I'd have my coffee with cream and sugar, and occasionally have some bread or corn, but it was once in a while instead of a regular thing. But over the last few weeks I've kind of thrown it all out the window. The whole reason I became interested in paleo is…

Carbs!!
Hi Guys! So I have found that I feel absolutely miserable if I am at 30 grams of carbs or less a day. Do any of you stay in the 50-70 range and still lose weight?? Thanks!

How much is TOO Sodium on Low Carb Diet?
...my diary is open so you can check it. One day I ate a HIGH protein seafood meal in a restaurant...though high protein...I think it may have had a bit too much sodium. At restaurants you never know just how much?? Any advice would be welcomed!

Need advice please!
Well I want to be paleo but I have one issue. I absolutly cannot afford to buy grassfed beef and so on. I want to be able to but our budget is very limited. So would you say it's not good to eat paleo unless you can buy these things?

How much exercise do you do?
I know heavy cardio is not recommended but I am curious to know who out there works out more than recommended and still getting results?? Thanks
