I eat two full eggs and 3 full slices of bacon each day. Cholesterol numbers have never been better.

Pregnancy did me the favor of breaking my drinking habit... but occasionally I will go out to a party and partake, or drink a glass of wine at home or with a dinner out. I'm not one who drinks regularly. Maybe I'll have a glass of wine or other drink 10 times a year?? As a non-drinker, this article doesn't help me... My…

This looks fun. Body guard

Rotisserie chicken. And I'm not ashamed of it either...

This. www.eatingacademy.com explains why sodium is needed.

AAAAAAAALLLLLLLL of this.

I agree with this, but... While I won't tell anyone they SHOULD follow "paleo", I do recommend it as a trial if things are not going well, i.e. someone is constantly getting sick with respiratory stuff (dairy could be the culprit), someone has continuous IBS related issues, someone can't lose weight no matter what they do,…

I love whole30. It's taught me a lot about what foods work well with my body and what foods don't. It is temporary. Through Whole30, I learned I have a mild dairy allergy and a mild wheat allergy. I avoid wheat b/c I don't like the bloat it causes, but I don't avoid dairy b/c it doesn't have really bad effects on me, just…

I agree that adding veggies is also a good idea. :)

This. Bacon and eggs every day for the last two years and my cholesterol, triglycerides, and all that jazz, including weight, have improved. Fat is good for your brain. Look it up. :)

I went to college with a girl named Candida. Her mom thought it sounded pretty but had no idea what it really meant.

Grains and sugar... I know no bounds when it comes to eating pizza, pastries, cakes, pies, candy, etc...

Blisters and callouses yes, but never a black toe nail. Was told getting shoes 1/2 size larger than you actually need prevents this and after 13 years of running, this has proven true for me. All truths. The last one is especially irriating. Never experienced, thankfully. Damn straight! Truth. Tide ACTIVE is really good at…

My mother-in-law is petrified of roaches. This would be great!

This... she'll keep finding them for weeks and will laugh every time she does - best to use the little dots that are acquired when using a hole punch. :) All of this is hilarious! The jelly beans. So funny. The parental locks thing would be maddening, and the ultimate prank! I think I'll do that to my hubby. lol lmao…

And yet another valid point. To touch on the PCOS question. I don't have personal experience but there are a lot of people who claim that getting rid of the chemical laden, nutritionally stripped and then fortified processed foods from their diet (i.e. grains, boxed meals, etc, etc, etc, etc) and sticking with fresh meats,…

Another valid point.

Perfect. Thank you.

Whenever I've done almond flour, the first batch in the oil turns out perfectly, but the second and third, etc, has burned bits of almonds on them, so I don't bread and then fry anymore. I've never tried baking without frying. Coconut oil absorbs too much oil and gets soggy. I've never gotten a crispy coating with coconut…

This... I eat "paleo" or "processed food free" or "clean" or whatever you want to call it simply b/c it makes me feel better than eating processed foods. And the nutrients are naturally there, not stripped and then readded and called "enriched". I've lost 55 lbs with this approach and feel physically and mentally better by…

Also agree...

I chose Paleo as a framework to reach a healthy weight in March 2012. By August 2012, I had lost 37 lbs. I hit a few plateaus, veered off course a few times, and totally said *kitten* it a few times. Every time I veered off or said *kitten* it, I immediately gained weight and felt bloated, letharic, and just crappy in…

I second the suggestion to start lifting heavy for fat loss and not worry so much about scale weight. You can look bangin in your wedding dress in two short months if you start lifting heavy. I lost the most inches ever while lifting heavy (dropped two pants sizes in 2 months). Check out The New Rules of Lifting for Women…

I think it sounds like you're still dealing with depression and are emotionally eating... If it was me, I'd find something else to do in the evenings when you start to "binge" (for lack of a better word). Take a long hot, refreshing bath/shower. Go to bed earlier. Go for a walk. Something to keep you out of the kitchen.…

Bacon: the new birth control?? That would make some men and women VERY happy. Condoms? No, we don't need a condom... I eat bacon, baby!

I've done countless W30's and stick pretty close to paleo/primal when not W30... feel free to add me. :) That goes for anyone who's into Paleo/Primal/Whole30/PHD, etc...

Oops... double post.

Her bewbs are gross...

Paleo here. Add me.

She's hot and I can only hope that someday I'll reach that same level of fitness. Many of our excuses are stupid and pointless. I think the haters are going to hate and those who really want to achieve, will find a way.
