Beets! What do I do with a beet. I bought some, and have heard that you can cook the green parts too.

This time of year there are some days that I am a sleeping woman walking, because of all of the pollen everywhere. Do you think it could be that instead of your food? I can be healthy as anything, and BAM! Seasonal allergies. I usually double up on the Alavert/Claritin this time of year for about a month.

I heart Penzeys.

lol that was brave of you

I just make sure it fits in my calories...and I tend not to go for the higher calorie cocktails. I usually stick with something like a vodka soda (not tonic), a shot of tequila, a dry or dirty martini, or a glass of white wine.

Worthwhile. That is a great word.

Most of the people I know who eat "clean" or Paleo, also sometimes eat food in the non-clean (wide definition) category and don't feel guilty about it or off-plan about it too much, unless they go over in calories. In fact, when my doctor suggested I try the Paleo route she mentioned "3 cheat-meals per week" which I…

There is a Paleo group on MFP where you can get your questions answered: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/37-primal-paleo-support-group

I thought the answer was C...

No, that's not what I meant. I never learned about debate and the rules of debate, and don't know the terminology so that link was educational for me, and it was also amusing because a) there exists a page telling people how to debate a certain philosophy of eating, and b) it reads almost as if ndj wrote it himself. For…

That's the one I was trying to quote/reply to! What a revelation to find that the repeated terms and methods I see in these threads actually has a source and an outline. It's like cult follower training! Even so, it was pretty educational as far as teaching effective ways to debate.

LOL but its so true! Before Paleo I mostly ate take-out and drank beer!

nevermind. i tried to quote then messed up the post and cant delete it now.

This.

Today it is people who don't know how to use a roundabout. :|

I have been getting rid of mine as soon as they don't fit anymore. I figure having to buy new clothes if I gain weight will be a wake up call enough to make me get back on track. I'll probably lose one more size before hitting my goal, though, so I will probably keep the smaller of my current size jeans, at least, as they…

yes, I log fruit - i log everything otherwise my end-of-the-day is inaccurate.

Chicken Drumsticks and sauteed spinach/kale/mushrooms/garlic

the dishwasher...

Yeah after pages and pages of sarcasm I felt like saying something to at least one comment that stuck with me. Excuse my intrusion.

Your specific question of "cheese is naturally harvested?" is what I was referring to.

If you would cut back the sarcasm and read the words she said, in parentheses, you would see that cheese and sugar were her occasional exceptions to eating Paleo.

No kidding. Then they'd get into a Snickers debate.

This makes sense. Thanks.

I'm not invisible anymore. I went out the other night and people made eye contact with me and several strangers started conversations with me...

Way to throw a wrench in the whole way I think about this haha!! I had no idea you could bank calories...that doesn't even make sense to me. (that doesn't mean it's wrong) At what point does our body know when to gain weight from too many calories? One day doesn't matter then if we eat under enough days in a row to make up…

new clothes (old clothes I haven't worn in years that fit me now = new clothes) keep me motivated.

haha!! Somebody had to!

Cheese. *old me looks at new me like I'm insane* I am surprised by how many would give up chocoloate.

I don't think its magic or anything, but I like drinking it better than coffee now. I like the chai green tea the best.
