Updating my stats: I've officially lost 50 lbs since changing to primal/paleo. :) YAY!

Been running since 2007 - agree with this poster.

2 eggs and 3 slices of bacon... EVERY morning. EVERY. SINGLE. MORNING.

My suggestion would be to give them to the dog (on second thought, I wouldn't even do that to my dog... pitch them) and cook up a real burger. Fat will NOT make you fat. Fat makes the brain happy.

Just a bit ago as I polished off my medium rare ribeye steak with steamed veggies and an apple... sorry you don't feel full anymore.

Not true. It's perfectly ok to run in chucks, as long as you build up. Our feet, knees, hips and backs are designed for being barefoot no matter what the activity. If we weren't my chiropractor and doctor would scream at me rather than encourage me to run in vibrams. And just so you're not assuming it's b/c of money, I…

^this.

I run half marathons in vibrams so I don't think running in chucks is a problem, per se, but I don't think running 4 miles in them your first time out was a smart choice. I'd take a few days off and if it continues to hurt for a while, see a doctor.

This is what I was told by a shoe fitting specialist. They always put me in a 1/2 size bigger than I'd wear normally to prevent the toes from banging against the front of the toe box. As a result, never had a black toe nail. I followed the same sizing guideline when I ordered my Five Fingers and have not had a black toe…

Proper shoe sizing will prevent bruises/lost toe nails. I've run 7 half marathons and a 20k, plus various races of shorter distances and have never lost a toe nail. Now I run in vibrams and have STILL not lost a toe nail.

... I ran a half marathon and did NOT experience DOMS in the days following (and it was my best time and my first time ever NOT Gallowaying a race). ... I know what "Gallowaying a race" means. ... I know what "sub 10's" means. ... And my friends congratulate me on it. ;) ... My dog stands by the door and whines whenever…

Properly sized footwear prevents this.

IN b/c this is so obsurdly ridiculous that it's funny.

Perfect!

Proud.

You FIND it by making a COMMITTMENT to be better to YOURSELF! You decide that you deserve better and you make it happen. Willpower is not necessary when you have committed and promised yourself that you will take care of it. Willpower is an excuse people use they don't want to win. COMMIT and practice discipline and you'll…

Dr. Mercola says yes, diet sodas containing aspertame cause weight gain. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/12/04/saccharin-aspartame-dangers.aspx

Thanks....

It's so frustrating that I can't get this to work... ugh. Fitting for a Monday thread.

USUALLY, allergy is accompanied by diarrhea and severe cramping... BUT, it is hypothesized that something like 75% of the population is actually "intolerant" to modern day wheat products (the wheat of today is a genetically modified version of the wheat our great grandparents used to bake with and is COMPLETELY different…

+1

I think your goal is right on for your current situation and fits in line with your other goals. Stick with what you have planned. You'll do just fine. As a runner, I can promise you it's MUCH easier to do at a lighter weight. I ran 6 half marathons over 200 lbs and was injured for each one. I ended up walking most of them…

I just submitted my recipes. I am so excited about this!

All the more reason not to buy packaged food...

That's ok! The recipes don't have to be original. He's not selling the collection, so there's no legal requirement for the recipes to be original. Much like sharing recipes among friends. if you know of a great paleo recipe, use it! I have to redo my set of recipes b/c reading back through his requirements, he was hoping…

Bwahahahahahahahahaha hysterical!

Agreed.

Actually, there are a ton of studies out there indicating that the effect sugar has on the brain is similar to the effect opioids and cocaine have - re: dopamine release.

Vroom hahaha

I was just getting ready to ask about the increase of testicular cancer due to cell phones. You beat me to it!
