  • I'm 3 years post VSG and the head hunger has come back with a vengeance. I believe it's because I've been lax about measuring and eating past satisfied to full. Sometimes it feels like I have stretched my pouch, but like a previous poster said, my stomach is 'remembering' the full stop rather than the satisfied stop. I've…

  • Practical Paleo is a wonderful reference AND cookbook for paleo eating.

  • I'd bring the Chocolate Chili from Well Fed or the Kalua Pork from NomNomPaleo. Two of my favorites!

  • I make an egg bake or frittata on Sunday and eat it for breakfast all week. Usually consists of eggs, coconut milk, ground meat, and whatever veggies I have on hand - this week's was onions, mushrooms, broccoli and spinach.

  • Fantastic news! My family (DH and 4yo DS) eat what I make - usually - but add on SAD side dishes a few times a week. Lunches are out of my hands. I do my best to provide them with what they need to be healthy, but I can't make the choice to go Paleo for them. DH is sceptical, but glad that I'm feeling so much better since…

  • I have PCOS and am Insulin Resistant. I was on Metformin when trying to concieve (and required fertility assistance to get pregnant), but now just take BCP to keep my hormones/cycle regular. Otherwise I don't ovulate/menstruate at all. I've been eating Paleo for almost a month now, and already my cycle is trying to…

  • I found it to be out of my price range too... so I'm looking into personal training with an emphasis on lifting. That way I'll learn the proper technique for a smaller pricetag. Many of the boxes post their WODs online, so if you wanted to follow along you could, using your gym's equipment.

  • 7 pounds down in just over 2 weeks. Feel amazing - lots of energy (took the stairs 4 flights yesterday to get to the car. I NEVER do that). Skin is so smooth, and everything. tastes. so. good.
    in What are your results so far? Comment by reluctantMANGO September 2012
  • I purchased the Practical Paleo book by Diane Sanfilippo of www.balancedbites.com, and it is WONDERFUL. I may have to buy the print copy. She goes into the reasons people choose to eat Paleo, and how to tweak your diet to target that purpose. There are over 100 recipes included, and everything is just so easy to understand.
    in buy books or just rely on websites? Comment by reluctantMANGO September 2012
  • There's a book full of kids recipes called 'Eat Like a Dinosaur' by Paleo Parents. Also Sara Fragoso just released a cookbook called 'Everyday Paleo Family Cookbook' that likely has some kid-friendly recipes. I have neither book (YET!) so can't comment, but they've both had rave reviews. I like to browse bento-box websites…

  • Feel free to add me! I'm a week into Paleo, and loving how I feel! My primary goal for now is weight loss. Would love some Paleo/Primal friends!

  • I just finished my first week - went full on Paleo from the start. I agree that it was easier than I thought it would be! I've been a lot more thought ful about my eating choices, I have been planning ahead, and I really, REALLY enjoy what I'm eating. My family eats what I eat, and if they want some bread or chips, they'll…
    in Considering Paleo Comment by reluctantMANGO August 2012
  • The fair thing to do is to let him move on and find someone who does find him attractive as well as love his personality. Life is to short to settle for only half of the equation. That goes for the both of you!

  • I have been struggling too! I thought my PCOS worries were over after I got pregnant, but here I am again with extra weight on my body that I am struggling to lose. It seems like the harder I work, the harder it is to lose it! I am committed to a healthier lifestyle though, no matter how long it takes. I'm eating right,…

    in Almost 20 lbs down! Progress pictures! :) Comment by reluctantMANGO March 2012
  • I just wanted to say that I am going through the same thing. I've been working my buns off (wish that was literal!!) for 65 days now, with only 7 pounds loss. Some weeks I gain weight, even though I work out at least 5 days a week. I have a wellness coach at work who recommended that I add 200 more calories per day (was at…
