It should be viewed as a reward for sticking with your diet all week. It does take discipline though. My cheat meal is usually a burger, I use the get a combo, now I don't even want the fries, and burgers are getting less of a go to, because I don't want the bread. If you have a cheat enjoy it, then hit the next week hard…

I still track everything, mainly to keep myself on track. I also my activity, because I also believe at the end of the day, it comes down to calories in vs calories out.

Had a friend do it, she said worked well for her. Also swears she will never buy a can of broth again.

Welcome back to the Paleo world. I am almost to my goal weight, but don't see myself veering away. I feel so much better and have only been at for just under two months. I just wanted a more healthy lifestyle. The nice again, welcome to the group.

I do enjoy my cheat meal, but always feel guilty. My cheat meals are are actually becoming more healthy and I guess eventually will just be another Paleo meal.

Agree the Walmart in the town I live in caters to everything except a healthy life style. Even though I can't find organic/grain fed beef I try to stick to the healthiest options I can find. Shop the outside isles, all of the bad stuff is in the middle. Stay strong a feel great about yourself for the smallest amount of…

As much as I like to cook, I suck at meal planning. That's why I'm trying to start cooking big meals for the week. Plan once eat all week.

I'll look it up, Often I buy a rotisserie chicken from the deli and eat on it for a few days. Thanks for the reference. I love that book.

Sadly, I live in a small town in South Mississippi and the closest natural foods places are an hour of so away. So it's great when I'm traveling to be near a Whole Foods or World Market...

Weightlifting primarily, I cycle when I'm not traveling, which is not often.

It's great, the more people we get the more participation, discussions and ideas. It's great.

Going to Whole Foods tomorrow, I'll have stock up. Thanks for sharing the link.

Maybe coconut flour, might taste kinda different....could be good. I'll just save the real stuff for cheat meal.

The argument is that low-intensity aerobic training will allow your body to use more fat as an energy source, thereby accelerating the loss of body fat. ... Although the fat burning zone burns a higher percentage of fat of the total calories expended, it does not burn more calories than training in high intensity.

Yeah, I'm doing mine in mason jars, but may go online and find something like you would do kimchi in, not sure if it'd make a big difference, but if it's this good in jars, I can imagine how it'd turn out in something designed for the fermentation process. Any ideas?

Yeah, pasta is definitely a good cheat meal. Do you make you own pasta. I make my own, it's so simple, and I know exactly what in it. If I really want to cheat I'll make a shrimp alfredo, but mostly make a basil pesto instead, because I feel guilty if I go all out. But that's what cheats are for. Once a week, one meal.

Thanks for sharing, I hope as the group grows we can get some really great discussions going.

Kmf91604, that's the great thing I discovered about Paleo. We can tailor it to fit on on needs. It's not a one size fits all program. Don't get discourage, and if you have to, ease into it. I went all in and it was tough, after the first month, I introduced a few things back in to my diet, but now things are a treat, not a…

I started the whole30 and about half way in I ran across a book call "Practicals Paleo" really good book, with a ton of information. There are sections dedicated to different conditions. Check it out in you get the chance. Myself, retired from the Army about 13 years ago. The day I retired I weighed 198. At the end of…

Try a hand full of spinach, it doesn't change the flavor much, then you can work into zucchini and cherry tomatoes.

I'm in
