FCLO
My daughter and I just uploaded 2 consumer review videos to YouTube from her first taste of Green Pasture, Blue Ice, FCLO. I can't believe how much she liked it. For other moms thinking about going 100% Paleo with your offspring, sure is working for us! This is one of the few things I've heard about around Paleo/Primal…

Stupid question: potatoes?
Is there anything "wrong" with potatoes from a primal/paleo standpoint? I ask because I don't have the book, and I'm learning that some things I thought were paleo actually aren't, like peanuts and corn. (I forgot that corn was a grain, since it's marketed as a veggie.) So since the rest of the world seems to think…

need help with afternoon snack
Hello, I'm slowly switching over to paleo. I need to replace my afternoon snack of peanut butter crackers. Can you recommend something that is easily portable to work, around 200 calories and has a good bit of protein to last me to dinner? Thanks!

Newbie :) HI!
Hi everyone! I am beginning paleo tomorrow and just wanted to say hi! I have a good 80 lbs to lose. I have had my hubby hide the scale so I cant weigh daily. I think weighing daily is the dumbest thing I do. I am the queen of rationalization and decide if it is down I can have a treat. If it is up I might as well have a…

Will power...
Hi all. I tried to do a paleo challenge for 30 days back in March and failed miserably. I was working full time, in nursing school, trying to balance family and friends and a relationship with my boyfriend. I know these are excuses, as if I REALLY wanted to make a change in my life I would find a balance. But the truth is,…

Color me confused...No sugar....
I am posting this here rather than the main boards because I don't want to read 101 posts about how sugar isn't bad for you and you should just eat in moderation... An co-worker of mine (not really a friend) was commenting on how much weight I have lost and asked me what i was doing - I didn't use the word Paleo but simply…

Weight of the Nation
Is anyone watching the HBO documentary that begins tonight? I normally like to watch that stuff, but I don't have that channel. I believe after it airs though you can watch it on their website. Tomorrow night is when they are supposed to talk about food and weight loss. I'm really curious if it's going to be the SAD and…

Paleo and inflammation
** side note: I wish the "leave group" button didn't look exactly the same as the "new topic" button. I dont' have my glasses on right now! The reason I decided to take the paleo plunge was to decrease inflammation in my body. Now I just started 2 days ago, so I don't expect perfection just yet, but I was wondering about…

Energy drinks & Paleo?
Are there any Energy drinks that would be o.k. on Paleo? I have in the past used a lo-carb Monster in the afternoons to keep me from falling asleep in the middle of the day, in lieu of any lunch, and it has helped keep me upright & functioning abit. . BUT, since trying to go Paleo this month I have NOT had any thing to…

MIA
I am still here! I started my 30 day challenge on Monday! I have to say, it's going really well and I can already tell my palate is changing. I am having protein shakes though but I figure 90/10 still works! I'm making paleo banana ice cream tomorrow! I can't wait to eat it.

Dr. Bernstein Diet & Health Clinic
Has anyone noticed the ads for this clinic popping up on MFP? Did you know the Dr's diet plan is largely a primal diet (about 30 gr carbs per day)? And we all know the most effective way to reduce carbs: eliminate grain based foods. It does allow some sweeteners but the focus of it is to control blood sugar through food…

I'm NOT hungry!!!!!
Wow.... nice problem to have, right??? Yesterday was the end of week two for me eating Paleo and I now start week three. I have lost a few pounds and am feeling pretty good, so I am pretty excited. here's something I am noticing: During the first week to week and a half, I was pretty much hungry all of the time. I guess my…

Carb crunch
:blushing: Yesterday ate carbs like crazy - like in one 100 calorie bag of popcorn. And 1 - no make that 2 - weight watcher giant fudge bars, on top of a banana. And (I really can't believe I'm telling you all this).....a piece of cherry pie. And today - not hungry. Obviously you say....after the way you pigged out!!! Did…

Powdered Peanut Butter?
What do you guys think? Is it still a no-no because it's a legume? I was reading about it online and all the nutritional info and it is basically peanuts, sugar, and salt (which I know are not ok) , but I just had to ask because the way it is made takes out all of the fatty oils. After the rants are roasted they are…

Sausage
I've been wondering, is sausage technically considered paleo? Because obviously it's meat, but it's not exactly in its natural form. What are your thoughts?

Honey
Do you guys use honey as a sweetener? I am curious as to whether or not it is considered primal/paleo. I would only buy it from a reputable, local source instead of from a grocery store. Just wanted some thoughts on this. Thanks!

birthday cake/cupcake ideas
Oi, paleo people! A friend of mine has asked me to make a paleo birthday cake or cupcakes for her boy's birthday party this weekend. He will be two so he probably won't like any weird flavor combos (mocha/lime for instance). Has anyone made baked goods that turned out well or know of any good recipes? I made a shortcake…

I need help.
I'm planning on starting the 30 day challenge in June. That way I have time to get more prepared and rid my house of crap. I talked to my husband last night and told him that I would like for him to do the challenge with me. He says he doesn't need to because he is healthy. A. He's underweight B. He has tummy issues as do…

BioMarkers
I have been eating Primal for one week. I went in for a check up on Monday for bloodwork.

What to do instead of rice
I'm making chicken curry and do not want to eat it over rice obviously. I don't mind just eating it out of a bowl like a stew but I was trying to think of something to go with it.... not really to pour the curry over like rice, but like a side dish or something. Any suggestions?

May I See Your Diary?
If you feel you are one who maintains a healthy, consistantly paleo/primal diet, would you mind sharing your diary with me? I know we talk about food a lot, and I know what it means to be paleo/primal, but I want to see what people are eating on a daily basis. Thanks!!!

Another reason I don't trust Monsanto. Bees.
I posted this in the general forum also - but I know my fellow primals will find this interesting. As a joke, one person asked me, "wow, what diet are you on". I said, the "No Monsanto Diet" - its easy, I can eat anything I want so long as Monsanto had nothing to do with it. Of course that eliminates non-organic, most all…
