Yes, and I've been on the forums enough to know where those types of demands lead: jokes and gifs about cauliflower and further attempts to make the declared paleo person look foolish. It is not helpful. You need to work on your delivery; if your intention is to understand more and not just to make jokes.

I was asked to provide a list, randomly and in a mocking tone. The list of foods one can eat on a Paleo/primal/ancestral/Weston A Price diet like mine is crazy long. It's more about food quality, source, and what one is omitting from their menu. I think feeling better helps with weight loss because you can overcome the…

Well, all you did is express how much you disapprove of the philosophy. That's your opinion and fortunately it bears no weight. This could be a productive conversation, if people were genuinely interested in my original answer, but it has been made into a boring discussion with a lot bullying and badgering by many of the…

Sexystef, why don't you answer my second question here?

I'm not the one doing it.

^This. Best response yet.

Blaming someone for having a mental illness is just as nasty and judgmental as blaming someone for having any other physical illness. You don't think genetics, hormones, and chemistry play into afflictions affecting the mind? Is the brain somehow separate from all other organ systems?

Isn't exercise just helping create a calorie deficit too? Why bash someone just because she said eating a certain way was part of their journey to weight loss? Several people on here are making it sound like there is just one right answer. The math may be the same for all, but journey most certainly is not.

Yes, I've been using the app long enough to know that first hand. It is definitely helping me lose the last few stubborn pounds. I'm still going to stick with my WOE, thank you very much.

I'm proud to be Paleo! That's why I asked about your food scale. Are you proud of it? You put it in a little case, like a smart phone? Did you name it?
-
The op asked what our secret was, I answered what worked for me, didn't preach. I didn't even choose the lifestyle for weight loss; I had medical reasons, but weight loss was a very welcome side effect. I wonder if someone answered that being vegetarian was their secret, would that answer bring the same hostility?

Then look it up in encyclopedia Britannica! I don't care. It's a *kitten* interesting plant is all I'm trying to say!

Read the book, 'the Omnivore's Dilemma'. He explains it pretty well. You can read about its origin here too: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maize

Oh geez, you are just ready to jump down my throat at every turn just because we may have expressed different opinions on other threads. Chill out, take your troll goggles off, and get a sense of humor. It's just corn. I'm sharing my views on it. I like purple corn.

I would not intervene because you don't know the whole situation to judge. I would try to get a garden started at the school, if there isn't one already. Every child should have the opportunity to learn where their food comes from.
-
Nah, I didn't. That's just your interpretation. You're just human. Corn is a grass.
-
Corn is weird. It needs human intervention in order to grow and it has gotten insanely good at getting people to grow it; we grow a friggin' lot of it! Humans and corn truly have a symbiosis. Michael Pollan writes about corn in 'The Omnivore's Dilemma'.

I drink it because I don't drink coffee. It is full of anti-oxidants ( but so is coffee!). It won't make you burn more calories. Maybe it can help suppress a craving. Trader joes has a jasmine green tea that I loooove.
-
I'm right in that range. My diary is open; I've logged 110 days!

We can learn a lot from children who still have magical ways of thinking. Adults who retain their child-like sense of wonder are the creatives who bring along progress in all disciplines.

I think what she means is table salt may have dextrose added to it. Idk why it would be added; I only use Celtic sea salt. Learned about the dextrose in common table salt from the Whole 30 website.

I did six months ago, gave up all grains and sugar ( even fruit has been drastically reduced). The result was better energy, clearer skin, brain fog lifted, and weight loss was icing on the cake. Let me tell you about the weight loss; it really shocked me. I lost 18 lbs in the first three weeks! It has slowed down…

I do cooksmarts. It gives me the menu, shopping list and meal prep instructions each week, so I never had to learn how to do a cook up; I just follow their instructions.

One trick to stop a fierce sugar craving is to eat something bitter. I take a 1/2 teaspoon of herbal bitters, or coffee is a more socially recognized bitter.

Gluten is one of the causes of joint pain because your body may see it as a foreign particle and respond with inflammation. Other possibly inflammatory foods are gmo corn, casein (in milk), FODMAP foods ( beans, brassicas, etc...), and vegetable oils (soybean, corn, cottonseed). Paleo is a good template to base a gluten…

As far as weight loss is concerned, if you are not consistently going over on calories, you are good. You'll feel even better if you stick to your macro goals (protein, fat, and carbs), and even better yet if you also meet your micronutrient goals (calcium, iron, vitamin c, potassium, sodium, etc...). Don't fear the fat;…

Very good post, yarwell!

I've never been a "dieter" and have no willpower when it comes to food, but last November my health hit a wall and I decided to go Paleo. Got rid of everything non-paleo in my pantry, made it through the entire holiday season without cheating, nary a cookie! I cut out alcohol too because I don't react well to it. I lost 18…
