Work Snacks & Work Lunches
Can anyone help me with some ideas for snacks & lunches at work? I have been eating fruit/veggies and hardboiled eggs, but I swear I will throw the next hardboiled egg I see against the wall (way too many over the last 30 + days). I am usually pretty hungry when I leave work and I am trying to find something that will tide…

Coconut milk
So, I'm fairly certain that my grocery store does not carry coconut milk. But I'll be headed to the next town over in a week or two and they have a couple of larger chain stores, so I thought I'd look for it there. Where is it in the grocery store? Is it with the canned milks? The refrigerated section? Canned goods?…

Cauliflower
Hello, I'm new here & just toying with the idea of Paleo/Primal. Thinking of just easing myself into it slowly, cut out bread & pasta over the last three weeks (except last night) and quite liking how I'm feeling. Was just wondering, has anyone tried making fishcakes with cauliflower rather than potato? Does it work?

In and Out Burger
I just had one of the best burgers I have ever had. It was an In and Out cheeseburger, Animal and Protein style with grilled onions. Animal Style - Burger with hand-leafed lettuce, tomato, a mustard cooked beef patty; add pickle, extra spread, with grilled onions. Protein Style - Wrapped in hand-leafed lettuce, instead of…

Thanks to whomever mentioned "pure wraps"
Hey, Thank you to whomever it was here, that mentioned "pure wraps" - a paleo alternative to tortillas. I ordered a couple packs last week & they arrived yesterday. They are coconut meat, coconut milk, himalayan salt & nothing else! Kinda taste a bit "fruity" (like a fruit roll-up from when we were kiddos?), but definitely…

Paleo... not just chicken breasts and steamed veggies!
I've heard for several people that I've told that I'm doing a 60 day paleo challenge with my CF box that "It's going to suck because all you get to eat is chicken breasts and steamed veggies" NOT THE CASE!! Other than feeling better (most of the time) I'm have a blast (again most of the time) cooking and figuring out all…

Looking for Paleo Friends!
Hi all -- I am new to Paleo. I went grain-free about 2 months ago, shortly thereafter I cut out dairy. I *think* I'm Paleo... still learning. I decided on the Paleo diet because of the road I'm on... hypothyroid, overweight, poor blood sugar control, etc. I would like to add some new Paleo friends, so.... Please feel free…

Paleo world tour vacation test. Europe and Mexico.
Ok, I have been doing pretty good lately and controlling my food environment quite well. Think I am 5 lbs shy of my "abs" goal. (I know that is a vain and extreme one for someone my age ;) but nonetheless I am so close why not. I am 6 days from leaving on a long vacation and will be eating every meal for the next 4 weeks…

Pigs spend their entire lives in tiny crates.....
I already knew this, but I was just reading this article on CNN: http://eatocracy.cnn.com/2012/06/06/gestation-crates/?hpt=hp_c2 Another good reason to know your farmer and purchase pasture-raised meat!! I am trying very hard to do this, both for my health and the animals, as well as the environment and local farmer!

Going back to paleo!
Hey all, new to the group and was hoping that I could get some paleo or primal people to add me so I can see what everyone is eating at the moment so that I can also be held accountable.

what are your macro percentages?
Hello all, I've started trying Primal this past week, and I am going for 50-100 carbs a day--I started easing down the first couple days and have met that goal for the past 5 days (well, ok, I got 105 yesterday, but it's because I had a mandatory meeting that served burritos at dinner time, ugh). I am curious how your big…

Fat and Cholesterol
I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times so I'm sorry for the repeat.... Do we really not need to worry about fat and cholesterol? I'm usually WAY over on both but no higher than 79g of Carbs on a typical day. Can someone explain this to me in laymans terms, please? :)

Certified Organic
I've only started trying to buy organic foods recently, since beginning my Primal journey, I don't know much about this. I plan to mostly purchase locally grown from my local farmers market over Organic food in the super market, so I am not going to obsess over those things. But for things that I don't buy at the farmer's…

New here, just saying hi!
I joined the group last night because I wanted to learn more about eating paleo/primal. There's lots of great info here, I followed a lot of the links plus of course I did my own Google search and came up with tons of stuff. I have been off wheat and grains for over a month now, after reading the book Wheat Belly. I also…

Strict Paleo starting tomorrow
The first time I did Whole30 during November 2011, I got about 3 weeks into it before I gave into cheese. I'm determined to make it at least 30 days to see how I feel without it and if it helps my weight loss in doing without dairy. So tomorrow I'm committing to 100% strict Paleo. Anybody else want to join me? I've got my…

Eating Paleo and counting calories
Hi all, I've been on MFP for several months and just recently started eating 100% strict Paleo. I am highly active, training for a sprint tri, endurance bike ride, as well as CrossFit 4x per week. My CrossFit box is actually what got me started with Paleo, as we are doing a 60 day Paleo Challenge. My question is, my…

Chocolate suggestions?
I love me some chocolate! My old go to was dark chocolate Hershey kisses but I'm guessing that's not very primal! Haha. The other day I bought some 90% cocao dark chocolate and it was SO yuck. I'm guessing I got too high of a cocao count? Idk...it was funny seeing the faces on my girls when I gave them some! Hahahaha. I…

Calories
Hi guys, I'm on my third day of Paleo and each day I'm enjoying it more and more :-) If you want to add me, please feel free. Anyway, I was just wondering what are your macronutrients ratios like and what kind of calories are you eating on an average day on Paleo? Thanks!

Working my way to 100%
Hey guys, so I've been eating MAINLY paleo for the past week (It's my first week really committing to it) and I'm still having trouble with late-night snacks! Since I was a kid, I'd always have some graham crackers and milk before bed, and it's a really hard habit to break. So, I eat well all day, keep my carbs under 130…

Sensitive to Dairy?
How would you know if you are sensitive to dairy? Other than the gastrointestinal stuff, are their other "symptoms"?

Non Scale Victory for my new Primal Lifestyle!
I am a cyclist/triathlete, but I have not been on my bike in about 7 weeks. I've been exerzising, but not cycling. Last night was my first night back at my group ride. Used to, I would crave Coke by the end of my ride. About 3/4 of the way through I would starting thinking about Coke and how good it tastes and how awesome…

New to the Paleo Lifestyle!
Hello! So I have decided to incorporate the Paleo lifestyle into my daily diet. I was technically already eating this way, as I rarely consume dairy and grains. Now I will be committed. I have already purchased the Paleo Diet Cookbook and I am looking for other awesome books to purchase. What are people's favorites? Thanks!

Fast Paleo App
I hope it's okay to mention something like this here on MFP. I'm not affiliated with Fast Paleo, other than 'liking' them on Facebook. They've developed an app with the same name. It's a huge collection of recipes that you can have at your fingertips on your phone. Really handy for when you're needing ingredients. I got it…

An Almost paleo restaurant in Vegas ;)
I spent 4 days in vegas this last week. Ate pretty primal - but am sure I blew the 20% on distilled beverages and fermented grape juice. Did have some amazing steak. On our last day there - we were trying to find a good lunch place. My wife stumbled on "The Public House" in the Venetian. They are a pub with 200 some beers…

Alcohol
I feel so guilty when I strive to eat healthy all day, and then decide to drink a beer in the evening. Does anyone else feel guilty for this?
