Cooking in bulk
Hey there fellow cavepeople (gotta be PC) I'm looking for some suggestions for some meals that I can make a lot of and keep in the fridge for the week. I'm currently living with a friend and I like to spend as little time in the kitchen as possible (I have my reasons). I also have a fairly busy life right now so I'm not…

MCT oil?
Anyone used the MCT oil and is it considered Paleo since it comes from coconuts?

When did you notice...
... when you switched from sugar to fat burning? Not like a monstrous moment of 'BOOM! I'm burning fat now!' but are there specific things to look for or notice, or does it just kind of happen on it's own with no changes? My question centers around this- I ran my 9th or 10th half marathon 2 weeks ago and PR'd on it (shaved…

Talking with friends about Paleo...
Mike sort of touched on this with his post the other day about his Gym conversation... Anyone else have a hard time discussing your "lifestyle eating choice" with other people when they question it? After 2 years of cleaning up my diet in stages and eating with a Primal/Paleo slant since Novemeber and now jumping all in…

Paleo bakers
My birthday is Coming up! And I want a yummy Paleo Cake. White Lion Baking is not selling product right now. Is anybody aware of any other online Paleo bakeries? Ones that will sell cake mixes?

Wow have my taste buds changed!
So it's my birthday on Sunday and people at work wanted to bring me in cupcakes today to celebrate. I told them yesterday that I would be happy to bring something in that I could enjoy (that doesn't have processed sugar and flower in it), and so we decided on coconut bars. (they felt bad having me bake something myself for…

Fun discussion with a vegan - seriously.
At the gym today, a gal pulled me aside and said: Her: hey seems like you have lost a lot of weight - you look great. Congrats - so you have really been in a gym a lot then. Me: No, I'm actually been cutting back on the volume of my workouts. H: Uh... and you lost how much since Jan 1? M: 23 lbs. H: working out less? M:…

Primal and Venturing into VLC
I've been primal for the most part for several months now. The next 2-3 months I'm cracking down and going VLC into ketosis territory to shred the weight. Does anyone have some tips or experience that they can share so I don't feel like I'm flying solo here? Thanks

Weight vest - wow was I fat ;)
Just had to share. Trying to multitask my workouts ;) . I admit that I love buying exercise equipment, and most of it does indeed get used. All basic stuff, medicine balls, kettle bells, bosu, ball, jump rope, exercise bands. Today I bought a 20 lb weigh vest and figure it will be good for walks etc. Since I lost 28 lbs,…

John Cusack (LLyod Dobler) must have been Paleo.
Was just thinking about how I just tell people, "I don't buy, sell or eat processed food" and this line keeps coming to mind. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEgu7jdc_fs

First 30 Days
I just completed my first 30 days as a Primal eater!! I'm 7 pounds down, and it's possibly the easiest 7 pounds I've ever lost! And, to be honest, I really did live the 80/20 rule. I wasn't all that strict; I found that milk chocolate was tough to give up, and I did indulge a couple of times, as well as in some other…

Recipe Exchange Anyone?
Hi All-- Now that I'm over a month into this new way of eating, I've gotten a bit more creative with my cooking, but am still on the hunt for good interesting recipes. I have zero budget for a new cookbook right now, but have at least 3 on hold from our library (they are in very high demand, apparently, as i've been…

I don't "do" sweet potatoes, so some ideas please?
I hear a lot about sweet potatoes but honestly have never really ate them. What do I do with them, what can I combine them with? How do I even prepare them? Thanks for any suggestions.

Hard to eat enough calories on the Paleo Diet
Hi, I've been doing the Paleo diet for the last couple weeks and although I really like it, I haven't been able to eat enough calories to reach my daily goal. To solve this, I've been eating more nuts, avocados, protein shakes - but protein powder is made from whey or soy, both not accepted for Paleo. I don't want my body…

Those that use coconut milk in your coffee...
I have only ever used coconut milk from a can in one of two ways.. 1 - in cooking where it takes the whole can 2- fridge it - open it scoop out the solids and whip it up to use on berries... For those who use it in your coffee - do you just scoop a chunk of the solid and plop it in - since after you open the can you need…

Making a pot of chili that I think is paleo or primal
What do you think? I sauteed in olive oil 1 onion, 1 red pepper and 4 garlic cloves. To that I added an 8oz of roughly chopped mushrooms instead of beans. I added chili powder, cumin, coriander, oregano, salt, and pepper. Then I added 93% lean ground beef(I think it was just over 1.5lbs). Once that was all cooked through I…

HI Everyone Recently I signed up with a Personal Trainer and he wants me to try what I thought was Paleo, but I'm a little stuck for what exactly I'm going to eat for a while. So my question is, does this sound right? Is it Paleo? Is it Primal? He wants me to eat 6 times a day Meal 1 - Protein, Veg, Fat Meal 2 - Carb…

heart.org american heart association - canola oil
I was responding to a question from the friend this morning about fats and oils (PUFA's vs animal etc and why I love butter and bacon). Ended up surfing today for some references. Landed at heart.org (AHA website).... I noticed a large advertisement for canolainfo.org (the canola manufacturers and growers association) They…

After 2 months - my BP is better than normal!
I have routinely been measuring 145/95 - stage one hypertension. Last summer my doctor said, we need to do something about this one way or another, your choice. Mind you I was eating "good" and working out 4x a week. This morning I came in at 119/77 - textbook awesome - with a pulse rate of 60. And that was seconds after…

coconut milk
I tried coconut milk last week and really loved it, but is it paleo? I'm trying to cut out cow's milk all together (and it's not really paleo anyway, right?) so I thought this would be a good alternative. if it's not that's fine I won't buy it again. thanks (for putting up with my questions!) !

New to primal, need some recipes
Hello! Thanks for letting me join your forum! I've been looking at the primal lifestyle for a few weeks now. Partly for weight loss, partly to see how I feel without any gluten (I suspect I have some gluten intolerance issues). I've been trying some recipes and I love the food. I never did like pasta anyway. So I made the…

Some General Questions
I haven't started going Primal yet, but plan on doing it in the near future - trying to get all my finances in order so we can do the first larger grocery shopping to stock up on all the "new" foods. But my question (or my husband's question, lol) is Can we still eat spaghetti (with noodles) from time to time? Obviously…
