I'm making some shredded chicken in my crockpot tonight- which will be for: "Crockpot Creamy Lemon Chicken Kale Soup" by AIPlifesyle.com

Frozen sliced banana, frozen whole seedless grapes... I don't know if raw can mean frozen, but it works for me!

I like Justins Honey Almond Butter. Tastes so much better than Maranatha to me- but it might have some added sugar and I don't know if the oil it uses is paleo... it's tasty though.

This has been a big issue for me lately! I am not having any symptoms, but I am not regular if I don't get enough fiber (at least 20 g). On my paleo diet I am only getting 10-15. It can be days before I go... I am considering water kefir, kombacha, fermented veggies, but I can't decide whether to do them myself or find a…

I have family coming to visit starting around 8 pm tonight and through to Saturday evening. My main focus has been grocery shopping so that we can all maintain healthy eating habits and not order out. I made sure to buy plenty of fruits to have on hand for "dessert" (I might blend up some frozen bananas for ice cream) and…

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS RECIPE! I don't usually type in caps but I am super excited! --- I guess I should also respond to the original post...because I did skim through and read/follow the responses. I think that the poster is correct that food can influence moods/personality. In my opinion, it could be either a lack of…

So I ended up eating those "cupcakes" (Banana Pumpkin Pucks)...but whatever. I'm not going to feel guilty about it. Healthy ingredients that were fully AIP compliant as well as paleo (banana, pumpkin, dates, applesauce, coconut flour, coconut oil, and spices). This is the first time I've ever made a paleo baked good, but…

I'm slightly worried... I bought ingredients for cupcakes... I wanted to make my husband something for valentines day and for all of the hard work he's been doing: 1) cleaning the house before our in-laws visit this weekend, 2) watching our daughter, and 3) all while being sick with a cold. They are technically called…

If you are wanting weight loss (as I am) I can only recommend what has worked for me. I have lost 12.5 lb so far in 2014 (50 lb total since my max. weight of 212 in 2013) and I attribute that to both the Whole30 and exercise. For my job I sit around on my butt all day- can't really help that. But I try to exercise in the…

I don't want to tempt you if you're doing "no fruit smoothies" during your whole30 because they are sweet (and might be considered paleofied dessert). If you are avoiding them then you can ignore this. I know they aren't recommended. However, if it was my birthday and I was on a Whole30, I would at least do a fruit…

I don't know what your digestive issues are, but ever since going AIP 10 days ago I am not my usual daily go-er! I think today it's been like 3 days (sorry TMI). I don't have any pain. I know my body might still be adjusting to lower fiber. **July-Dec 2013- Paleo 80/20 **Jan1st-30th- "Paleo30" (my term for my January…

February 10th Did I exercise for 20+ minutes? yes Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? yes Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? yes

I do about a max of 2 servings of fruit a day and get lots of veggies. I don't like feeling guilty for having fruit, but I know when I eat them I could be eating nutrient packed veggies that don't give me that "crazy-sugar-addict-satisfaction". Today I had st cruz unsweetened organic applesauce at the end of my breakfast,…

Day 8 here- Today I made cauliflower soup (puree) in my slow cooker (which I'll add chicken to), and I made Well Fed 2 beef stew provencal. Last week I ate a lot of sweet potato soup (with coc. milk and chicken), chicken salads, and a "casserole" of ground beef, parsnips, and carrots with spices. I'm really boring with…

Thanks for posting what that saying means in terms of paleo/whole 30!!! I was wondering that! It is amazing how much energy I feel to work out when I've had my breakfast fit for a king :) Does anyone have any reading I can do that goes into more detail on this eating little/no carbs at dinner- something that explains the…

I am on Day 6. I am doing very well, no "cheats" here except for occasionally fruit as a snack. Next week I'm going to really try to do green tea instead of fruit in the evening. The evening is when I get bored and want something to munch on. I know that some people do eat when they are feeling a little hungry in the…

I can't believe I've lasted this long... 5 days! Really, I am super proud of myself for being in this still. I am doing something harder, though. I'm following It Starts With Food and eating stict paleo... and even stricter than that because I am following the autoimmune protocol due to having SLE (lupus). Ever since I was…

I always have green tea to try to curb the craving! If I still can't curb the craving for sweets I'll have blueberries, because I LOVE them and they are super antioxidant rich...but I try my best to eat them right after a meal instead of as couch-potato food.
