BF wants to try Paleo
Hey guys... I'm completely new to the Paleo world. My BF just got his cholesterol results back today and his HDL was only 30 (everything else was okay, but the 30 really upset him) so he wants to try Paleo (referred to him by a friend in the AF) and see if that helps. I'm willing to support him as much as I can, the only…

Salmon
I normally buy wild Alaskan salmon. Is there anything else I need to pay attention to when purchasing this fish.... or am I good as long as it says "Wild Alaskan"? For example, when it is out of season, I have to buy it frozen (or canned). So is there anything on the package that I should be cautious of?

... on the way!
Right. So now I decided to give the Paleo-diet a proper go soon. Ordered a book and will get the Quick and easy meals soon, too. I'll be on vacation for a week next week and after that I hope I can start it off very strict for a while and see what happens!!

My Rockstar level Paleo/Primal Blood work - more proof ;)
As previously posted I recently lost 30 lbs of fat (no muscle) in 90 days on paleo. (between 1/1 and 4/1) The people around me told me I would kill my liver and kidneys, ruin my heart and clog my arteries. My rapid weight loss would also be all water or muscle because I would put my body into starvation mode and that > 1lb…

grass-fed
I read this article this morning: http://www.rodale.com/10-food-label-lies?page=0 Lots of interesting/frustrating points in there, but here's an excerpt about the grass-fed meat claim: Grass-fed The lie: See this label, and bucolic scenes of grassy fields with healthy, happy cows probably come to mind. Think again.…

Cookbook Recommendations
Hi All! I'm just starting out with this whole Paleo/Primal way of eating (not sure which one I'm going to choose to stick with) and was wondering if anyone had a good cookbook recommendation? I have a few in my cart on Amazon but I thought I'd get some opinions first. Oh, and if anyone would like to suggest their must-have…

Successful 1st Day?
Primal eating has always seemed to appeal to me. I didnt actually consider doing it until this last week though. I've noticed lots of stomach issues, sleeping problems and slooooow weight loss the last few months and I'm hoping this change will be for the best all around. Anywho, I started today. I came in at like 92g for…

Emu eggs
My husband just brought home 2 emu eggs. He was working with a guy who raises emus. OMG! I'm more than a little intimidated. They look like small footballs. They look like large avocados. They look like dinosaur eggs! Has anyone ever tried them? Off to google....

Recipes - Keep it Bumped!
I know from time to time someone will post about wanting recipes, but is there any way we can keep it bumped? If everyone would constantly post to it everythime they find a new recipe, we could all easily access it on a regular basis. I found primal friendly one today and can't wait to make it:…

Bacon Grease
I just cooked a ton of bacon tonight for use in this weeks breakfast and other recipes. I have been told to cook with bacon fat, so I poured it into a mason jar. Can I keep this in the fridge so i don't use up my coconut oil as fast? How long does it keep? How do you do this????

Yogurt?
Do you guys eat Greek Yogurt? I have never tried it. I know I need the unflavored kind. What do you think about it and how to you liven it up (add berries)? I may have asked this before so sorry. I still never bought any so I don't remember if I asked or not.

Not Hungry
Hi All - I have a question for those of you who've been eating primally for a while. I've been at it for about 2 months now, and everything is going well, except I get in these slumps where I am literally just NOT hungry. I don't want to put any food in my mouth, in fact, the thought of it makes me nauseaous sometimes.…

The Whole 30 (and The Whole 9)- Results?
Hi Everyone, I've been Primal/Paleo since 2011 and an organic eater since 2010. I have definitely not been as strict as I would like to be (hovering around 85%-90% Primal Paleo, and allowing myself some SAD meals here and there). I DON'T want to do this anymore. I want to be 100% Primal. With that being said, have any of…

Newbie saying hi!
Morning! I'm just now reading Primal Blueprint and started cutting grains/legumes/sugar from my diet a week ago. I felt SO sluggish the first couple days (seriously, I needed naps after work before I could even drum up the energy to walk the dog), but am starting to feel much better now. I am no longer getting nauseously…

What do you do on road trips?
I'm leaving this afternoon, so it's a little late to be planning to eat paleo for the whole drive, but I was just thinking: what do you all do on road trips? Every summer we take at least one long trip to visit family. It's a 2-day drive to my family, then we cross the state to visit his family, and then we dead-head one…

Watching "the future of food". I'm literally nauseous.
Ok, so I'm safe from most of this because I don't eat grains, legumes, HFCs etc.. But they are literally destroying our food supply as our government helps them do it, and the consumer is blind to their actions. I watched this on netflix because of a recommendation, and am appalled. I have considered Monsanto the devil…

NSV - Today is Donut Day
I wanted to share this NSV, but didn't want to put it in the regular forum for fear of someone telling me not to "deny" myself of something I enjoy. I'm not denying myself.... I'm making a choice. There's a difference. So every Thursday, there's two boxes of crispy cream donuts. One is full of plain and the other is full…

Why do I feel this way?????
I have never been one to get sick a lot. At most, I have one cold a year and even then the symptoms are very mild and the worst of it only lasts a few days. I am always pretty healthy. Right now I am about half way through my 4th week of paleo and over the past week or so I have had what feels like the beginning of a cold,…

Meal planning sites
Anyone used the paleoplan.com resources (meal plans or the quick start guide)? I don't mind planning meals, but I need a lot of make ahead stuff that can come to work with me or that can be defrosted and tossed in the oven-- for example, roasted brussel sprouts are easy to make when I get home at night, but I'd prefer not…

What do your Calorie goals look like eating Paleo?
The caloric intake that MFP gave me for my weight goal doesn't leave a lot of room for well.. eating. If I'm eating good healthy foods like coconut oil, meat, avocado and such. What do your calorie goals look like here?

What to put peanut butter on?
Hey guys! New to paleo/primal here. Went to the grocery yesterday and got a bunch of yummy paleo food for cheap on sale, and one of those things was a huge jar of natural peanut butter (ingredients being peanuts and salt). So, I got that sucker all stirred and mixed up and then...nothing. I don't eat bread (didn't like it…

New to paleo
Hey everyone! I've been toying with the idea of making the move toward paleo for quite a while, but my chiropractor last week convinced me to take the plunge. He believes it will help with several of the health issues I've been experiencing for the last decade or so. But I don't know anybody who eats this way (other than…

Paleo Inspiration <3 Help a girl out ;-)
So all you lovelies out there... I love Paleo!! Its day one of my 4th week today and I have lost 25 lbs from it. I'm very happy, and I feel GREAT! However, I have a couple of people commenting about my calorie intake. I don't want to make it private because I have nothing to hide. I mostly stay on here for the support of…

Ugh
I had a horrible weekend. My dad brought me Greek desserts and they are NOT paleo at all... I ate them anyways. But then I had major food regret and I walked 5 miles. Hahaha. It wouldn't have been so bad if I had just had the baklava. But no, I had to eat the powdered sugar wedding cookie among others.

My original Paleo Inspiration.
in June 2009 I met Jenny Labaw. She was a super fit trainer that gave me one of the best workouts I had experienced. She talked to me about eating Paleo. It sounded interesting except for the no wheat part. :) I mean, sandwiches ? seriously? I "talked" about thinking about doing paleo for 2.5 years - it took me THAT long…
