grazing like an herbivore? or not.
I feel like I have a new question every day. So, most of the Paleo blogs say not to graze like an herbivore all day, but to eat meals that keep you feeling full and not snack in between. I struggle with that. Today, I packed a big lunch... zucchini "pasta" with sauce and 5 small home-made meatballs (a whole zucchini,…

RW Paleo Solution - 30 Day Meal Plan - Recipes
Hi there, Does anyone have advice regarding the Robb Wolf Paleo Solution 30 day meal plans? I would just like to know if they are laid out for 1 person or 2 with enough for the recommended leftovers the following day? I am so used to calorie cutting and reducing my meal size that I would like to ensure I am still eating…

Every time I exercise, tastes like kissing Mr. Clean.
Anyone else get this? I used to get this ages ago if I did a long bike ride and didn;t eat before. But now even a half hour walk and it smells like I've been huffing ammonia.

Do you log your food?
I just read "It Starts with Food" about the whole 30. I'm working towards it, but I'm not 100% there yet. One thing I think I remember them saying in the book is not to log your food, count calories or get on a scale while you do it. I think some of the foods I'm eating might make my calorie count go nuts, but I'm not…

Brand New Caveman...err...woman
Just yesterday I bought the Primal Blueprint 21 day challenge book and today was my first day changing the way I ate... I can't believe the difference one day can make! I already have noticed a difference in my hunger levels, I'm a massage therapist and I ate a good protein rich, delicious breakfast and then proceeded to…

Coconut Flour
Today, I searched a few stores, that were mentioned online, ie, Trader Joe's & Ocean State Job Lot, and was unsuccessful finding coconut flour. I stopped at an Asian market and was directed to coconut powder. Can this be used instead of the flour?

Paleo Cake?
Hi all! My son's birthday is coming up, and I was thinking about making him a cake, and I haven't seen a recipe out there for one. I was considering just taking a normal cake recipe and substituing for paleo ingredients, so for flour I'd use coconut flour, for milk I'd use coconut milk, so on and so forth. Has anyone ever…

Paleo and Hypothyroid
Is there anyone living a Paleo lifestyle suffering from Hypothyroidism?? Both my mother and sister have a Hypothyroid. I fear I may have this condition now. I have nearly every symptom of it including major hair loss. I'll be getting checked by the Dr. here soon but until then what are your experiences? I want to stay away…

Primal gain with HIIT program
Hi everybody! I haven't posted anything on these boards as a question in a while. I'd like the experience of people who have been doing Primal for a while and workout consistently, as they understand some of the more complex aspects of Primal/Paleo. I've been doing Primal now for about 7 months and have lost a considerable…

primal and calories
I just started following the Primal Blueprint and have a question. If I am suppose to eat when hungry and stop when satisfied, can I stop obsessing about meeting calories? I just ate a very filling nutritious dinner and according to Mfp's recipe maker, 1 serving was only 148 calories! There is no way I am going to get to…

Protein question
Hi all! I'm new to Paleo/Primal, and it's going really well so far, but I have a question that maybe someone can answer. When I log my food, I constantly go way over in fats, and usually reach goal or a little over in carbs, but I'm not at all reaching my goal for protein. I'm not sure exactly if I need to, though - I…

Harder on the weekends?
So, anyone else have a more difficult time on the weekends? I feel like I blow it on one or two meals over the weekend. I typically stay within my calories, but will have one or two non-paleo meals or items. It makes me crabby that I do this! During the week it's easy because I bring all of my food to work and plan a paleo…

I'm STRUGGLING - could this be "carb flu"?
My boyfriend and I have been "sorta-kinda" Primal for a couple months now. At first we told ourselves we were just using up the carby food we bought before we started, we told ourselves we just didn't want to waste food. Of course we stopped buying those foods at that time, and now we have finally really started running…

What's the big deal about bacon?
I hear bacon mentioned a lot in the paleo community. Is it a running joke or something? And I guess there's a lot of stances on red meat consumption too right? Totally didn't see the discussion below. I'm sorry about that.

My 30 days of Paleo sins :)
I just returned from a 30 day vacation. I promised myself I would eat pseudo primal but enjoy my vacation. I also said I would work out 3x a week in some form (that did NOT happen ;) So it went something like this - 30 days, planes, trains & automobiles (and boats) - no home cooked food. Every meal was a restaurant so I…

Math Question: How the hell do you figure 80-20% out?
I don't know how to decide how many calories to stash away for non primal meals (i like to treat myself for sticking to primal at the end of the week). I can't for the life of me figure it out.. Is there a spreadsheet somewhere? or an equation? I'm aiming to eat with 20% of my total weekly calories not being primal. But…

primal protein shakes?
I've been experimenting with trying to make protein shakes without milk, to limited success. They don't taste so great made with water and I revert to milk. Any top tips for more primal friendly versions gratefully received!

Primal/Paleo Resources?
Hi Group! This is my second day on the Paleo journey. I am really excited to see what transpires over the coming days, weeks, years... I have been listening to the Abel James Fat Burning Man podcast. I am also about 20% through Mark Sisson's Primal Blueprint 21-Day Transformation. Are there any other MUST have resources…

question to the successful paleo women here.
I was having another conversation with a family member about my recent transformation. I was explaining simply how easy it was for me once I cut out certain things. Her response was: "that's great... But men can do that. Women just can't drop weight that quick. The body chemistry doesn't allow it." I explained that I…

The Art of the Crock Pot
Everything I crock ends up all dry and gross because I cook it too fast and too long. I made a bottom roast last night stuffed with garlic and drowning in beef stock. It seemed yummy this morning... and then when i got home from work it was disgusting and dry and falling apart. I tossed it. Talk about a waste of 14 bucks.

Alcohol and Paleo/Primal living
Confession time: I overdid it big time with the drinking last night. Not very healthy of me, and boy did I feel it this AM. I am wondering how my other Paleo friends handle social outings and the drinking thing? I am fine as long as it's just DH and me, but for some reason, big group outings are more of a challenge. I'm in…

Pizza Please!!!
May I please have your Primal pizza recipes please? I am dying for some pizza, but uhhhhh...... NO. I am not going to do it. Unless it's primal. I saw recently where someone makes a cheese crust by crisping a pan of cheese in the oven and then adding more cheese, sauce, and toppings. There was another one, where you use a…

So far so good, down 6 lbs in 2 weeks. The best part is not feeling those crazy hunger pangs, or blood sugar spikes and drops. Looking for like minded peeps to share support as we go through this journey!

Questions regarding first few days of Paleo/Primal eating
I have been on the fence about actually starting, have been eating mostly paleo/primal for the last week with the occasional snack that was not. However I started full force yesterday, and have noticed a few things and was wondering if anyone else experienced them too. 1. Feeling more tired and sluggish, could this be my…
