That you eat fresh, natural, UNPROCESSED foods. Foods that we did not evolve to eat, but that man ate from the second man became. That's paleo ideals. Am I a cave person? No. Had I grown up on over processed junk like I'm almost positive you all did? Yes. Do I want that for my children? No. What am I doing to change that?…

Healthier=Happier. Healthy body=Healthy Mind. I'm off anti-depressants as a result of diet change. I keep saying paleo styled<- diet. Styled. Styled after the idea of paleo ideals. I don't have it perfectly down, but I'm getting it.

I let my kids be kids. They go to birthday parties, they stay at friends houses, they have a bag of chips here and there. I'm not a psychotic paleo mom. I'm human. They eat ice cream and have cupcakes on their birthdays. They have dessert on special occasions and rolls and pie at thanksgiving. They just eat what I cook as…

I didn't say I wasn't open to opinions, but I'm pretty sure the majority were more like personal attacks on my parenting choices. Have you read them? I was just pointing out the fact that out of over 100 comments, I've received like 3 posts that were regarding the information I was looking for. The rest were arguments…

It's about having a nutritionally sound diet, and there is plenty of variety.

It's not that restrictive. Food is extremely versatile.

Did all the closed minds of the world fall on this forum today? I was asking for recipes, NOT opinions. You don't think kids should eat a paleo-styled diet, don't feed YOUR kids a paleo diet. MY children, being as they are mine, however, are still young, impressionable minds and bodies. What do I wish to impress upon them?…

The majority of comments I have read are totally hating, mostly only because they can't stand that I used the word PALEO because it describes what we do and do not consume easily.., People know what I meant..I did not imply that it's perfectly Paleolithic. Grow up.

Their father is a tough nut to crack, he loves bread..but I'm getting there with that. And I have an autistic stepson who refuses to eat almost anything but Pizza Hut and macaroni..if he is eating it while with me on the weekends, I'm not going to force my other kids to watch. So yeah, not on weekends that my beautiful…

You are all major haters. I want my kids to have a love of vegetables and natural things. That's why. It's not a "diet" it's a lifestyle change.

They eat paleo guidelines for dinner, school lunches/breakfasts. They get adequate carbs, calcium, vitamins, and other nutrition. No need to pick apart our lifestyles. I say paleo-ish, because they eat store bought bread on weekends at home. And Pizza Hut.

Thank you so much! You've really helped me a ton. I really haven't had a clue and I really thought I did! It feels good to be learning about it though!

My sisters weight loss made this seem easy lol She didn't even track her food. She just ate cleaner and less and walked and boom, in 3 months dropped 35lbs

I've been trusting the packages:/ Ordering a food scale off amazon now. How do you figure out how many calories are in each ounce?

I don't log alcohol consumption. DUH. So easy to forget that those drinks you have every so often have calories too! I just had a face palm moment. So here is another question, if you don't mind... I don't drink often, maybe every two or three weeks, just one evening, but probably upwards of 4-7 drinks, anything from wine…

And I honestly thought 1200calories was more-so where a 5'3" 24 year old should be. I was just going to adjust and readjust until I hit a healthy weight..

It really I think boils down to not knowing what we are doing lol How do I weigh food? I've never even heard of that. I will give the article a read, but for a beginner in working out and apparently really tracking their calorie intake (which I thought I had down

I just type in my food here. But when I started my plateau, honestly, I quit logging. Today is my first day back. And I ate bread today, which wasn't my brightest idea, but I need to go grocery shopping..which I do on Fridays. We've been eating low-carb paleo style diet for 2 months now and I really thought that would…

I was 201lbs, lost 16lbs, and am at a plateau. I guess I will give the added cardio a go first and see how it does me! Thanks!

I don't want to starve my body or my muscles..and we eat low-carb paleo at my house..(my problem has mostly been with portion control until I learned how to hydrate and now I'm at a plateau)

I do have a question about calorie deficits though...or how really all of that works. According to my BME, I should consume 2100 calories to maintain, obviously I'm trying to lose weight...so, I've cut down by 400 calories. But, when I work out, obviously burning calories, (insanity burns a LOT), should I consume more…

Yeah pretty sure everyone covered the calorie deficit.

Thanks again everyone:) I started Insanity today, and do a small cardio circuit in the morning, so I think maybe I will try the fasting thing. I will be eating adequate calories to fuel my body.. I spoke to my physician today and he said I shouldn't eat after 7 anyways because I *usually* am in bed by 9, which is right…

Thank you! She thinks it's the green tea completely, I was just curious. I'm new to becoming healthy lol Do you think the green tea could be helping keep the hunger pangs away? I feel like trying the intermittent fasting route for a jump start, but I get cranky when my stomach is empty.
