Anyone have this problem when at the beginning?
I'm on day 2 following the Primal Blueprint and yesterday I felt great, I had so much energy and felt awesome, I was in a fantastic mood too. Today on the other hand I am very angry for no apparent reason (we're talking severe road rage, instant irritation with small things) and I'm normally a very even tempered person.…

How did you personalize you goals/foo diary for Paleo?
Good morning everyone- I have YET ANOTHER question. Please forgive me as I am a newb on MFP. I was wondering how people were personalizing their food/calorie intake goals for the food diaries as it is my understanding that Paleo has considerably different macronutrient ratios than SAD, thus daily caloric intake tends to be…

Nuts please tell me what you think
Page 207 on the Wheat Belly book by William Davis MD Eat Raw Nuts. Raw Almonds, walnut, pecans, pistachios, hazelnuts, Brazil nuts and cashews are wonderful. And you can eat as much as you want. They’re filling and full of fiber, monoun-saturated oils, and protein. They reduce blood pressure, reduce LDL…

Primal Newbie
Hi everyone! I wanted to start a new topic because I didn't see an introduction thread for newcomers. Anway, I've actually eased into Primal eating the past 2 months, gaging what foods I liked, didn't like (same for the bf) etc. I then decided to "give it up" because I missed my Sunday morning pancakes. I've tried protein…

Primal encouragement please
From 6/5 to 6/22 targeted 1200 calories per day and lost no weight. Then I read about the Primal diet and made drastic changes to my diet . I gave up my (4 cans) beloved Diet Dr Pepper, all grains, sugars (except liquid Stevia) and replaced it with 9-12 cups of water, protein,vegetables, one apple, and a protein shake for…

Getting ready to start!
I've decided to start a primal/paleo routine. I've been on mfp for a few months, and I've kicked up my strength and cardio - but I don't seem to be making any noticable progress. I've been researching primal/paleo and I think I'm ready to give it a shot. I'd appreciate any words of wisdom for someone like me who is trying…

Low Carb Paleo and Crummy Sleep?
Hi Folks! I've been paleo for some time (several months), but have just recently been monitoring my carbs and trying to keep them below about 60g/day in hopes of re-igniting my weight loss. I have noticed that since lowering my carbs, I have had very restless sleep. I fall asleep just fine (usually within seconds of my…

Eat Like a Dinosaur
Since starting Primal on July 3, my kids have noticed that I am eating differently. When they get ice cream and ask why I don't, I say, "Mommy is eating like a caveman. Did cavemen eat ice cream? Nooooo." This cracks my boys up (easy to entertain a 3 and 4 year old!) My four year old is now really paying attention to what…

Greek Yogurt
I've posted a topic about Greek Yogurt before.... when I was just trying it for the first time. Now I have found that I love the stuff! It's a great snack with berries or just by itself. One problem is, I can't find any brands that are full fat. They are all 0 or 2%. What's up with that???

Awesome book
Hi folks! I just wanted to recommend a book that I read that makes even more sense out of the Paleo diet! It is called 'Primal Body, Primal Mind: Beyond the Paleo diet for total health and longer life' Written by Gedgaudas Some parts kind of bored me as they didn't apply to my health concerns but over all I couldn't put it…

"Not-so-bad" evil foods
I accidently posted this in the regular forum. I was wondering why people were talking about the pop tarts they ate, etc. I also noticed a very different and condenscending attitude... I was like "Man, the Primal support group has really changed". That's when I realized it was on the regular forum..... :laugh: So let me…

Need more 'friends'
I love the Paleo way of living/eating but I am rather new to it. Looking for new friends who believe in this lifestyle. I find eating this way with low carb intake (under 50) has me feeling my best! I am down about 14 pounds but have almost 50 left. Love some friends to share our journey with?

No Oodles aka is it Primal?
I enjoy a good spaghetti squash or zucchini noodles the same as the next paleo/primal guy however despite that I still miss a good bowl of pasta. Maybe it's my Italian mom giving me a guilt trip about me not eating any pasta anymore which is why I'm bringing this up in the first place. My questions are 1. Is it…

Primal Parents?
Hello! Just a little introduction. My hubby and I "converted" to the primal diet about a year and a half ago. My primary goal was not weight loss most of that time since I got pregnant shortly after but I didn't need to worry about it because most of the baby weight came off almost right away! But my baby is now 8 and a…

First week on Primal
And I lost 2.8 lbs! Wow. I haven't had any carb flu - not sure if I should still expect it or if you're good to go after a week. Eating this way is a lot easier than I thought it would be!

Kerrygold Butter
Seems as though it's the butter of choice - why is that? Also, do you use it for everything you put butter in/on, or just a few select things? I'm going through butter relatively quickly and the thought of spending that much on butter makes me a bit queasy. Is it really worth it?

Question for the ladies (TOM)
(Guys, seriously, it's "girl talk" stuff. You've been warned.) Has anyone else experienced changes with their TOM after going primal/paleo? My periods have been spotty ever since I got pregnant in 2006 (a combination of depression and the birth control I was on afterwards resulted in me gaining weight and royally f**ing up…

Am I Paleo?
HI Everyone! I just joined the group this evening and my knowledge is somewhat limited in paleo/primal. I sort of did the Atkins diet in the beginning of the year. In three weeks I took off 10lbs and it stayed off, but I felt too limited in my foods and eventually gave up. I'm doing low/moderate carb now, but I'm kind of…
