My new hero - Ido Portal - 15 years paleo
I noticed a post on one of my fb newsfeeds. https://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?fbid=378714108837242&set=a.268839339824720.59969.191927830849205&type=1&theater I looked up ido portal and friended his fanpage. He is my new idol. Not only is he a specimen of physical perfection, he gives immense thought to his fuel…

My 20% this week - cheesecake.
Had to share. I don't do much dairy at all due to a 15 year allergy to milk fats. That means I couldn't touch cheese, anything other than non-fat milk - my gal bladder would put me into convulsive pains as if I had gal stones. If I ordered a burger and they accidentally put cheese on it, if I pealed the cheese off, I would…

30 Day Paleo and Primal Challenge for May 2012
I forget if May comes in like a lion or out like a lamb but what's important is that, in theory, we can eat either animal! May begins in a few short hours and summer up here in the North comes a month after, so I'm taking the first 30 days of May to re-challenge myself to follow the Primal plan for 30 days. You're welcome…

Farmers Market and a no-tech run
SO this weekend was the opening weekend of the Omaha Farmers' Market. Got some awesome local all natural ground pork, some grass fed all natural beef, some chemical free elk jerky, organic salad greens, radishes, and asparagus. I love it. Wish it went on all year long. And on a completely unrelated topic- I am an addicted…

30 day personal challenge
Hi All, On Monday, April 9th, I'm going to tweak my eating even more than I have been. I've eaten Primal since Dec 1st and it's been life changing. Cravings have nearly disappeared, control is back and better than ever, losing weight slowly but surely, feeling a general good in most all respects. What I've found is my late…

First 5k while Paleo
Just curious as to what some of you may be eating night before, breakfast before and after running a 5k, 1/2 marathon. I have my first 5k of the season and with my new Paleo lifestyle. Before I would have energy bars before the race and protein shakes after. Of course I'd have a banana while I'm there also. I'm a little…

Let me see your diary!!
Who wants to let me look at their diary for ideas of how to eat all of your kcals back? If I was not doing paleo, I could easily eat them back. I think I have a brain block or something...IDK. I was doing a loose primal plan then my box started a paleo challenge in May. I still have about 15 lbs of baby weight to lose so I…

I love paleo. Y'all inspire me!

I heard about paleo and am 12 days into it. So far: I've lost 9.5 lbs. have more and steadier energy sleep better have clearer skin have not been hungry like I…

Alomnd Milk
I have never tried almond milk but I've seen people talking about it on here a lot. I am curious to try it because I don't want to cut out dairy completely, but finding healthy primal/paleo alternatives would be helpful. What brands tastes the best? Is there any other type of alternative dairy I should try? I won't do soy.…

paleo snacks??? suggestions needed
Hey, as the title says... what do you do for paleo snack attacks? I am just getting started here, but am learning lots from everyone's posts already! Thanks, in advance, :) J

Really could use some help learning about this
Ive gotta be honest here, trying to read Mark's Daily Apple is like an everlasting webpage of info-mercial information. Do I really need to purchase the book to truly learn about what Primal is all about and how to appropriately follow it? Learn if it has a calorie restriction? I hate spending money on things 'just to…

Liver for Beginners
My quarter cow share came with a few pieces of liver and truth be told, I'm totally intimidated by them. I don't think I really have ever had beef liver. I'm actually at a loss as to what to do with this meat. I know it's highly touted by the Paleo/Primal community so who can give me some recipes to try?

thyroid help!!!!!!
So I am Paleo/primal and I have hashimotos. I need some tips on safe veggies. I am not supposed to eat cruciferous veggies. No broccoli kale califlower spinach things like that. How on earth am I supposed to get fiber?!?!?!

I am loving these headaches!
I fell off the wagon guys! I went back to eating fries, bread, pasta, and the like. I gained every pound that I lost from eating primal back... at least I didn't gain more than I was before. Anyway, I'm finishing up day two of getting back on the wagon. Tonight I am having a headache and it's the same type of feeling that…

Food Costs (long post)
I know there are tons of sites out there and I've been researching over the last few days. The great thing about the internet is we can find millions of sites on any given topic but sifting through it all and finding the good stuff takes time. So i'm asking here to see if anyone can give me some tips on lowering food…

I'm new!
Hey everyone! I have been reading for weeks about going paleo and I am ready to jump on board. One problem though- I HATE most all vegetables. Does anyone have any tips or advice on how to train myself to enjoy them? I'm so used to eating crap. Thanks in advance!

Soy, Yes or No?
I have been reading and most things say no soy products. No soy milk, no soy beans, no soy sauce - but I am finding recipes in Paleo cookbooks that call for soy sauce. So can you have soy or not?

Another post about a CHALLENGE
Hi, Friends! I wanted to put this in a post because sharing it with others will help make me accountable. About a year ago I discovered the whole "paleo/primal" thing. My eating was already moving in that direction because it seemed like common sense- eat real whole foods, cut out the crud, etc, etc. I never jumped into…

Loving this!!
I have been Paleo-ing for just a short time but I have downloaded several Paleo cookbooks (I have a NOOK so I have gone a bit crazy downloading - some are awesome, some not so much). But I have been cooking like a mad woman AND my husband is loving it! He has actually enjoyed the meals I have fixed and made suggestions for…

Need a Review of My Eating
All kind suggestions are welcomed! I have been primal for about 45 days, and lost about 13 lbs. I have a goal to lost 20 lbs. by the end of April, which is when I leave for a month long trip overseas. Can you all check out my diary and tell me where I could tweak things? I think I could probably do the following: 1.…

Alzheimer's Disease and the Paleo Diet
Here is an interesting article on the effects of the paleo diet on brain health, particulary with regard to carbohydrates and cholesterol. There are multiple links within the article to the original research papers if you care to read deeper. It would help if I actually included the link wouldn't it?…

One week down....
... so many more to go :) I just started this diet last Friday (4/20) and so far I have lost 9 lbs. I am in love/ borderline obsessed with the Paleo diet. It seems to be working great for me. How many lbs/kgs have people lost on this? I'm looking for some insight into peoples success story's, especially those who don't…

Determining Goals
So I've just gone through and calculated my TDEE and have re-set my goals to up my caloric intake (another 400 calories/day) and re-adjusted the carb/fat/protein levels to skew toward fat and protein and well away from carbs to really try to get myself into the correct primal mindset (more veggies, fewer fruit and of…

Salad, salad, more salad
Hello, I'm a college student, new to paleo eating. I haven't been consistent enough to see results, but I plan to do so over my summer break. However, I have some questions that would especially help me next semester... I wanted an easy, budget-friendly and time-friendly way to maintain my diet, and the solution I came up…

Greetings!
Hey everyone, just picked up the book, the Paleo Diet, today and it seemed interesting. I had dropped a lot of weight, but recently gained some back and am starting a new routine on Monday. Was thinking of changing up the diet and a FB friend of mine raves about the Paleo diet. This should be interesting.

Paleo and Pocketbook
Hey everyone! I'm very new to paleo (like first week new) and decided to make a change since it is a diet that is friendly to gluten and lactose sensitive people and also has lower carbs (I have great numbers otherwise, but my triglycerides are a bit high). I am not one to complain about paying a higher price for higher…

salt
This is my first post in this group. I am new to primal, my husband and I have begun by cutting grains, hydroginated oils and most procesed foods, We haven't had any legumes since we started but I am still reading about them. The only dairy I eat is butter and cheese and my husband will never give up milk but will use…
