What a great idea! 40 days of Whole30 in conjunction with Lent (but not FOR Lent). I'm in. It'll see me through my marathon on April 13th, so that'll work well. :) Fendi_Doll, I've been there before. The withdrawal symptoms for some of those drugs are horrible and last for what feels like forever. I took Lexapro and dealt…

When is your race?

I've been following the "paleo" approach since March 2012 - coming up on my 2 year anniversary. :) I am currently training for my first marathon, but have run 4 half marathons as a paleo eater. My best half marathons (time, endurance, and stamina) were achieved while following the paleo plan. The few nights before a race,…

^this. It's always the same people shutting down any positive discussion on the "paleo" diet. It's almost like they troll the board just waiting for a paleo thread to pop up, then they're on it like white on rice. OP, I second the suggestion to read "It Starts With Food" and I second the recommendation for HCl and…

No GMO Wheat crop?? That's not what Oregon says: http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2021737989_gmowheatxml.html

The Standard American Diet... calories in vs calories out. Eating what I wanted as long as it fit within those all so important numbers...

Tell that to the people of Oregon who have discovered GMO wheat... http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2021737989_gmowheatxml.html

And at the rate Monsanto is going with genetic modification of food crops, we'll never catch up.

Lucky for me, I haven't been sick one time since switching to Paleo... so I have had no need for an antibiotic... but prior, I could have purchased stock and done very well in Z-pack commodities... My doctor friended me on facebook b/c we went from seeing each other every other month to once a year. We talk about running…

Two years.

I'd share bread-free recipes, but I'm not vegetarian, so you would probably not be interested in them. I bet pinterest or Chowstalker would be great sources of recipes for you. Or google "Gluten-free vegetarian" or something similar. I have heard the same about gluten and PCOS. I hope the change in eating helps to…

I took a class on human evolution in college. I agree - fascinating.

I'm in for calling it the banana diet, but based on the discussion going on in the other message board, that would be ridiculed too... b/c well, you're not really eating JUST bananas, you know. ;)

There's a discussion going on about that very article on the Nutrition board. It's ridiculous - and it's all about the name, not the food choices made by those who follow it.

I agree that Paleo is a piss-poor name for the way we eat. But, societ wants to name stuff, so I guess Paleo is the name they pulled from the hat. What do *I* call it? Well, I call it Paleo b/c that's what everyone knows... how do I describe it? I don't describe it as ancestral eating. I don't describe it as "eating like a…

Just seeing the bit about Active Advantage... I better go check and make sure I didn't accidentally sign up for that... *sigh* *whew* It says I have a "free" active.com account. :)

Oh I HATE those fees... like SonicDeathMonkey, I thought you were trying to avoid entry fees and was also intrigued. I agree with a previous poster - they should just charge a bit extra for the entry - hide the cost so I don't get so annoyed. ;) I would also send a check if that is your preference. Getmeregistered.com has…

That looks handy! Thanks! And it's on sale! Even better.

Thanks. I'll check it out.

I will be one of those 5 hour peeps. My 18 miler took 3:43:and some change.

I will check. Thank you.

No I got irritated b/c they were telling me I was fueling wrong... the fact of the matter is that THIS fueling method is working JUST FINE for me, and there was no reason to argue it. I simply wanted to know if anyone knew of a pack that would hold that much stuff - regardless of whether my method of fueling was "textbook"…

I'm not doing a half... I'm doing a full... Nevermind... I should have known not to ask this here...

B/c I'm paranoid about not having enough fuel. I don't use gels or other quick carbs. I ran 18 miles this weekend and ate 3 bars while running and one after - I was starving by mile 17. I figured 2 more bars would get me through the last 8 miles. I use saltsticks for electrolytes/cramping.

First off, don't listen to a single thing anyone here says... most are going to tell you Paleo is bad. Best bet - do your own research. Google is your friend. Read books, visit Paleo/South Beach diet specific message boards. NEVER ask this question on the general forums. Ever. PS, I eat Paleo/Primal. I love it. I'll never…

It's anything with wheat that Dr. Davis advises against. Corn, gluten-free oatmeal, rice, etc, are still ok, per his book.

I read Wheat Belly before Dr. Oz made it lame. I make it a point to avoid gluten and grains and have felt better as a result. Of course, YMMV and others will say it's hogwash. I say you try it for yourself and see how you feel. Make sure you replace the bread products with B-vitamin rich green veggies or the majority of…

I started smoking early in high school. In 2004, after 9-10 years of smoking, I quit. I think I used the patch... no scratch that. I used Welbutrin/Zyban. Then I started smoking again the following year when my husband proposed to me and the wedding planning got to be too much. But I quit again, again using…

I said this in another quote, but I am meticulous about weighing, measuring, and reporting even the spices I use in my recipes. I know what I'm eating and how much. TYVM.

Yes, the last two days I have eaten less - just not hungry. Check back to last week. I use a notebook to log my foods. I enter them here when I have time... Additionally, I am METICULOUS about weighing, measuring and reporting even SPICES in my recipes. You don't know JACK about what I do or how I log so how can you make…
