Please thank your son for his service. It is appreciated.

Welcome to the group.

Another Monday Funday Here are my numbers for this past week: Weight = 162. Weight gain/loss this week = 0 lb. Total weight loss = 89 lbs. Macros for the week = Carb/Fat/Prot - 19/56/25%. Daily avg cals = 1873. I'm happy with these numbers. Pretty much right where I want them. Those of you watching my diary probably…

Hi Yogi323 I'm not on an autoimmune protocol, but I would be happy to be one of your MFP friends. I do eat some dairy (cheese, yogurt and kefir), some nuts, and nightshades. Cutting out the grains, processed sugars, and artificial sweeteners has really helped improve my well being.

I use Thrive for many of my staples and I have saved a lot of money over Sprouts and Whole Foods. The packaging has always been great (even over-packed a bit in the beginning), and everything arrives fresh.

Great article, thanks for sharing. I am living proof that critics of a Paleo/Primal lifestyle are dead wrong.

I would add half an avocado and maybe a slice of uncured bacon to your breakfast. Lunch sounds good. Maybe add healthy fat like coconut or avocado oil. I would exchange a serving of macadamia nuts or maybe a tin of sardines for the clementines. Dinner should be a quality protein, nutrient dense veggie and healthy fat. A…

I like the Paleo Pro Plain Naked protein powder. 2 gr carbs/ serving. Ingredients: Egg White Protein, Whole Egg Protein, Beef Protein Isolate

It's Monday :) Here are my numbers for this past week: Weight = 162. Weight gain/loss this week = 0 lb. Total weight loss = 89 lbs. Macros for the week = Carb/Fat/Prot - 21/54/25%. Daily avg cals = 1795. Cals are a little low this week, I had a couple dinners that MFP showed as lower calorie than I thought they would be.…

That strawberry looks pretty cool.

Awesome job, you are going to rock that bikini.

Oh, and awesome job on your success :)

You need to slowly work your way back up to that higher calorie intake. Don't jump on it all at once. It is ok to drop a little more weight as you find your sweet spot for caloric intake. Maybe set your goal at 1 or 2 pounds less than you are and set weight loss at the minimum per week the drop down allows and shoot for 5…

That is awesome, congratulations.

And Hornsby, awesome job on your back.

Here are my numbers for this past week as of last Monday. I check my macros on Mondays. I am 6'1" Weight = 162. Weight gain this week = 1 lb. Total weight loss = 89 lbs. Macros for the week = Carb/Fat/Prot - 18/56/26%. Daily avg cals = 1936. Is that what you were looking for?

Thanks guys, and thanks for sharing your successes. Getting healthy is a great side effect of eating nutritious food :)

Congratulations, that is an awesome accomplishment.

Awesome job! That has got to feel pretty great.

To me, most of the Paleo "Treats" have too much sugar content. Sure they get the sugar from dried fruit or honey, but it is still sugar. I'm also a bit leery about the different Paleo flours that are marketed to us. They are still processed fairly heavily. If a person is trying to break a sugar addiction and get away from…

Talk with your doctor about being referred to Pulmonary Rehab. That should not be an issue for your insurance. PR will teach you how to exercise while using oxygen, how to handle your dyspnea, and even provide good information on your meds. If you are a transplant candidate, losing weight and improving, or at least…

There is an entry "Chips (Tortillas)" that should be close enough.

I would recommend a variety of healthy fats. Coconut oil, avocado oil, olive oil, ghee, and saved bacon drippings are good examples. Apple cider vinegar to add acid to dishes or make up a quick dressing for a salad. Coconut aminos to add some umami to dishes. Tins of tuna and sardines for quick and easy lunches. I use an…

Tell me about your egg sheet please, is it a crepe?

It has been just the opposite for me Akimajuktug; I use a lot fewer kitchen tools now that I'm cooking primally. Then again I'm a fan of Alton Browns philosophy on kitchen gadgets. No unitaskers, all tools have to have more than one use to stay in the kitchen. The only thing I've been tempted to purchase just because I…

Hello Stacy, looking at your profile you are at the weight you want to be and just want to firm up a bit. Without knowing more about you and where you are at, I can only make a general recommendation. Food: Try to eat around 1 gram of protein per pound of lean body weight. For right now keep your carb intake at about 100…

Now you are going to make me blush :)

All this positive feedback is really nice. Thanks all.

Awesome, awesome job. Good on you :)
