How I broke my weight loss stall...
I have seen a few people who have had a weight loss stall after a while on paleo and I had one during the last few weeks. So, for the last few days, I haven't eaten breakfast and cut out most nuts and fruit and I lost a pound. So, I guess intermittent fasting and lowering fruit and nut content really helped. Let me know if…

Raisins Or No Raisins?
I have been eating raisins for potassium which I have been a little low on. But I was recently told that raisins aren't paleo. I did look it up and get conflicting responses. I don't gourge on them and buy organic natural raisins. What do you think?

primal emotional eating?
It's sort of chicken & the egg for me here- am I feeling depressed/the need to binge because my diet has been sloppy, or has my diet been sloppy because I'm depressed? I've been emo and blah and superlame for a few weeks now. My diet has been gross and I FEEL gross. My legs and back ache like I've been working out, but I…

Breafast Ideas? Also is snacking really that bad?
Ugg I feel like this is turning into an ordeal! I am kind of getting sick of eating eggs every day, even mixing it up with veggies, avocado or just straight up with bacon/ turkey bacon. What does everyone else do for breakfast? I kind of miss my oats! Also I get hungry after a few hours so I snack every 3-4 hours I read…

Starting line!!
Hi guys!! I am reading the primal blueprint at the moment and am eager to start proper primal/paleo eating. Therefore I would really appreciate some paleo friends in whose diaries I can peek from time to time to get more orientation and that I can ask stupid questions!! Who's up for it?? Oh and I was wondering whether you…

Starting Paleo/Primal on Monday
I've been looking to change up the way I eat for a few weeks because I've hit a weight loss plateau for about a month now. In three months I lost 9lbs, going from 124lb to 115lb and now I'm stuck! I just don't feel as good as I did when I first began losing so I know my body needs another drastic change. I've already cut…

Food Suggestions while Moving?
Morning everyone! I'm in the midst of packing up my house, and I'm moving next week. Any ideas for convenient foods to have on hand? I will probably give up cooking meals for a solid week between the time I box up my kitchen and unpack it in my new home. I am trying to plan ahead so I don't get stuck with pizza delivery!

Day 1 - Paleo
Hey Everyone! Today is my first official day Paleo. I've been thinking about doing this for 3 months or so, back when I started P90X. I just finished the program and as I went though, I started eliminating dairy. Whis wasn't as hard as I thought, even being from the Mid-West! This week I've been about 80% Paleo. Tried a…

intermittent fasting
Does anyone incorporate IF with thier Paleo diet for fat loss? I have read about it on Mark's Daily Apple and a few other authors. Just curious if anyone has tried it? I can do it... just needs extra planning.. cause i'm eating my 'breakfast at 10:30 ish and then my eating window is open till about 8.

I'm not sure can I get some help
In primal can you have whey protein,? or corn? someone said that corn is out but the grows in the wild? I think I'm maybe missing somthing .
-
Protein
I just heard to today on the Today show that the amount of protein that one should have is basically 1/2 your weight. Is this what many of you go by?
-
nuts
I'm always going over in fat due to my eating pecans and almonds so much. I'll have a serving of almonds at least 2x day. I put chopped pecans on my salads. How much is too much. Should I be concerned with the amount of nuts I eat and that I always seem to go over on my fat due to this?
-
Carb flu?
I'm 3 weeks in....the first two I felt AMAZING! Two days ago though I started feeling like crap. Tired, not very much energy and a massive headache. Could this be the dreaded carb flu? Anyone else go through this? How long does it last? This sucks! Haha!
-
Ham?
From a paleo standpoint, is there anything "wrong" with ham?
-
Time of day to eat carbs?
I was hesitant to start the paleo diet because I was concerned about what a higher consumption of fats and saturated fats would do to my heart. After intervention from several friends who have been paleo or primal for quite a while, I think I understand that without carbs, the extra fat won't clog my arteries. That being…

Newbie question: How do you view macro nutrient percentages?
I see my total intake broken down by protein, fat and carb - but I don't see where I can view them as a percentage of total calories. Also are you able to change your targets for each? I want to reduce the carb target and increase the fat target. Thanks! - Sue

Food Inc
Wow. I watched Food Inc for the first time last night. I don't want to eat conventional food ever again.... If youhaven't seen it, you should watch it. It's great inspiration to eat right and buy from your farmers market.

But now it is slumping, I normally have the following during the day: Training: 1 hour Breakfast: 4 eggs, handful of raisins and nuts, banana Lunch: 750g's veggies (broccoli cauliflower carrots), Chicken legs (x5) Training: 1 hour 30…

I'm SO far from perfect...
... but the changes I have made have already made a big difference. I've been avoiding grains for... uh, a few weeks now. I can't remember. I've completely stopped eating toast, which used to be a daily thing with my breakfast. I've slipped up maybe twice at home since I started, once with pizza and again with a hamburger…

Paleo and electrolytes during activity
It's getting *HOT* (and that's an understatement) down here in SE Texas. I've been doing some reading myself but am looking for some suggestions. Prior to Paleo I used G2 gatorade and electrolyte gummy blocks during long bike rides (2hrs+) while training for my triathlon and endurance bike ride. Early Saturday morning I'll…

Some musing on bacon...
To be completely honest before Paleo I couldn't tell you the last time I ate bacon. It really just wasn't something I had considered. It has been touted as a fairly fatty food high in saturated fat and contributing to increased LDL and subsequently CHD. MayoClinic recommends <16g saturated fat and 200mg cholesterol daily…

Homemade Fruit-Roll-Ups
I found this recipe for homemade fruit roll-ups. I would make the ones that don't call for dried fruit so avoid added sugar. http://www.loveumadly.com/2012/04/100-pure-love-for-100-real-fruit-snacks/ These may not be good for everyday snacking because of the sugar content of fruit, but I want to use it as an energy boost…

Commercially Produced bars?
Does anyone have a source for Primal/Paleo friendly commercially produced bars? I know Larabars are considered clean for Paleo but I was wondering if anyone knows of any others - preferably that have a decent amount of protien in them. This morning I realized I forgot to boil eggs last night to grab and go (usually have 2…

Finding it hard to meet my Calories on Paleo. Not losing.
Hi all- I'm having a hard time meeting my calories, especially when a work out is worked in. I noticed last week I was eating too much fruit, so I cut back to try help myself our. But I'm finding I'm netting like 500-700 calories/day. I haven't made any nut butter's yet, but I'm not sure how much that will help, since…

New to group: best advice?
I've been on MFP for a while now, but my current lifestyle is still not producing the results that I'd like so I thought I would try out the Primal/Paleo lifestyle and see what it does for me. I don't know much and I"m going to have to do a lot of research to figure out what exactly it means for meals, but I was wondering…

Reduced fat mayo: blasphemy
Seriously, why would they make sush a thing? Had already put it on my food before seeing the label (from work fridge). Got sad when I read the label. Oh well. Will attemot to make homemade again at some point.
