Venison
My buddy at work hunts and I asked him for some meat. He brought me some deer cube steaks and hamburger meat. I am so excited because I feel like that it about as paleo as you can get! Straight out of the wild with no hormones and no force fed diet of something that is un-natural for them. What do you guys think about…

Paleo Confusion
Hello! I've been strictly Paleo for two weeks now. Two weeks yesterday actually and I'm trying to make sure I do this correctly. I feel like I don't have enough meat throughout the day and I end up being very vegetable heavy throughout the day. I don't want to do it wrong. I looooove how I feel so far, but I definitely…

What do y'all keep in your fridge, anyway?
So, as I have moved to more and more real, whole, fresh food over the years, I find that my fridge just seems to be largely a waste of space! My freezer is full of the meat that I have purchased in bulk and stock that I have made, but besides eggs, butter, milk/kefir, a few random condiments, and whatever produce I happen…

Gary Taubes & Peter Attia & NYT Article
I checked in to see what was new on Gary Taubes' website and I found this information which paleo people might want to check out. It's interesting. Gary started working with Peter last year on some new initiatives relative to insulin and they wrote a letter together in response to an article in the NYT on 12/28/11 (The Fat…

Forums and Primal/Paleo
Okay. I'm done with the forums for now. I've been out there again. But I can't seem to help myself. Most of the time I don't even go back after I post just because I don't want to see it. It's interesting though that the number of members in this groups grows daily!! Seems to me like it's getting a little more popular. I…

Intermittent Fasting
As I am drinking my morning coffee w/ half and half, I'm tossing around the idea of doing an Intermittent Fast. But I've put something in my stomach. Last week when I did one, I did not drink any coffee....I went from dinner the night before straight to lunch, with a little hot water and lemon in the morning. So basically…

Carbs/Fat/Protein
I'm sure this has already been discussed somewhere.... Sorry. What percentages of my daily intake should be carbs/fat/protein? How do you guys have this set up? I know right now I am shooting for 50-60g of carbs per day.... I am not sure what my fat and protein should be. Thanks!!

Can a little flour make THAT much difference??
I had an interesting experience tonight - and I wonder whether it's happened to anyone else... Firstly, I've been doing paleo/primal since January 5. Absolutely no wheat, no sugar (except for an occasional piece of very dark chocolate), only a little milk in coffee, no other dairy, no grains/ rice / pasta - you know the…

Treats
I live in a household where I am the only one following this lifestyle, so it's tough to do it. My biggest issue is SMELLING the sweet that is prepared by others... that makes me want to grab even just one bite of what they are making!! So, I have been on the search for cookie/treat recipes that fall into the Paleo way (no…

Calories IN, Calories OUT!!!

What do I do with Almond Butter?
I have never tried almond butter before but have wanted to since starting primal a couple of weeks ago. I found these little packets in Kroger that are like single serving samples. I decided that would be the best thing to buy in case I hate it (although that's not likely... I like just about everything). What do I do with…

Fish Oil Supplements
Can anyone recommend a fish oil supplement that doesn't, err...repeat on you? My husband is willing to take them to get Omega 3s but is complaining about burping up fishy essence (for lack of a better way of explaining it.)

Hello!
Just wanted to say hi to all the fellow paleo/primal people here. I have been on mfp for over a year now, started out on the high carb low fat, but have since been converted. I am a second timer for the primal diet. I went back to carbs after the first time around and gained some weight back and felt like doo doo. I wasnt…

Starting Primal today - after attending seminar
Last night I attended the primal blueprint seminar in Seattle with Brad Kearns. I have been eating "my understanding" of Paleo for 1 month (and lost 10 lbs easy). I'm interested to see what following Primal fitness does for me rather than my current approach to burning sugars. Take aways: I'm so glad I shouldn't feel super…

Wild/ grass fed meat in the UK
Unfortunately, hunting is out for most of us in the UK - unlike our US cousins, the majority of us dont' have access to hunting game and need to rely on butchery companies/ farms and supermarkets for our meats. I'm really interested in where UK primal followers are getting their meat from?

Is grass fed a MUST??
Do you HAVE to eat grass fed meat? I ordered ghee today, so I am going tot ry that, but the meat I would have to order and it is pretty expensive to do that. It's also a pain to have to order it online, rather than pick it up at the store. Will I get the same results if i do not eat grass fed?

Logging the Food Diary with this way of eating
Does anyone else find that they're not logging as often now that they've switched to eating Paleo/Primal? For nearly 6 weeks I've barely logged my food, partly because I have this bizaare guilt for eating this way and feel I need to hide it from curious eyes! Silly! Even sillier is that this way of eating has helped me…

Primal Restaurants?
I keep thinking that my city, Austin, TX, which is very health-conscious, will have some Paleo/Primal eateries. Does anyone have one where they live?

Forks Over Knives Documentary...anyone seen it?
My daughter and I, almost 2 years on paleo, watched this documentary this afternoon. (Movies are the *thing* when it's -47° in Alaska.) And we felt there were too many variables in this vegetarian only concept and all the studies. We both think it's flour, sugar, and grains and highly processed foods that are the most…

Hello
Glad to have found this group! I have been interested in Primal for several months (even dabbled in it a bit over summer) but finally seriously embarked on the beginning of this month. My husband has an autoimmune disease and is on the journey with me -- an anti-inflammatory diet is really a must for his condition. As for…

Introduction!
Hello! I am very excited to find this group, I have been on MFP for, awhile, but haven't actually been using it to lose weight, and hadn't actually logged on for months before a few weeks ago when I decided out of curiosity to track my fat/protein/carb intake daily to see what I was actually eating. I am 22, and my name is…

Cravings!
I really want chocolate chip cookies. I want to get into my car and go to McDonald's and get a chocolate chip cookie. I'm not going to but I need something. Help me make something quick and paleo. I have cocoa powder, honey, nuts, fruits. Any suggestions?

Happy to find this group- plus a side vent...
Oh I am so happy to find this group- can't believe I didn't find it sooner, I have a lot of friends here! Anyway, to share, I had been a long time whole foods eating vegan/vegetarian. I could and did lose weight eating this way but had a lot of other health related issues, and losing weight was a miserable, starving…

new to paleo....still have questions
I have been full force logging food and working out hard and consistently since September and have only managed to lose 19 lbs. I am plateauing more than losing it seems. My husband is a personal trainer and he and I stay pretty on top of our nutrition. Until recently we were still eating brown rice, whole grain pasta,…

I just need to vent...
I am so freakin sick of seeing people talk about how bad saturated fat is for you!! If i read another "advice giver" telling someone to stay away from saturated fats, i'm going to scream!!! What kind of idiot could possibly think that man made fats are better for you than something God created (in amimals and in…
