In for the hilarity!

I haven't been sick once in the last two years... coincidentally, I switched to unprocessed foods (i.e. paleo) two years ago. My husband, however, who still eats a standard American diet has missed a lot of work over the last two years for illnesses - vomiting, digestive issues, fever. I've not had a single cold. I'm a…

^This.

"clean eating" has so many different definitions. I prefer "whole foods". I choose to stick with fresh meats, veggies and fruits. The vitamins and minerals I'm supposedly losing by not eating grains are more than made up with all the extra fruits and veggies I can eat now that I'm not consuming 500+ calories in processed…

IN before the lock and delete!!

You can upload the data from the armband from either the computer or the phone. Both will display the same information on the website.

I did it for a while. I did 70% fat, 20% protein and 10% carbs. I don't recall actually losing any weight that I didn't also lose in other manners. I only did keto for like 3 months, with a couple slips that made me start over. I felt irritable though b/c I missed my carbs - i.e. strawberries, watermelon, sweet potatoes,…

I started primal in March 2012 by the recommendation of my chiropractor. I had been seeing her bi-weekly for sciatica pain and running injuries. She suggested to me multiple times to check out MDA, but I thought it was hokey and there was no way in hell I'd be able to give up pasta (I was a runner after all). Finally,…

I lost 50 lbs by giving up bread (and all other forms of grains, with the exception of white rice - a once every two or three months thing). I did it at the advice of my chiropractor. In response to the person stating that celiac isn't reason enough for the "normal" person to give up wheat - gluten intolerance has many…

Their argument isn't that you can't lose weight when you indulge. Their argument is that you won't reach maximum health by indulging in the foods that have been proven to be less than perfectly healthy for humans - i.e. chemicals, grains, legumes, etc, etc, etc. Or that if you have a problem with will power (i.e. don't…

I've followed their plan countless times and have given them zero dollars as have hundreds of other people. And it works. When I step away from their plan, my joint pain comes back, my stomach/gut hurts constantly, and I get headaches. When I follow their plan, I feel like I can move mountains. Their plan is simply paleo,…

I eat breakfast when i'm hungry, lunch when I'm hungry and dinner when I'm hungry. I eat real food so I'm never "starving" or feeling like I MUST EAT NOW or risk shanking someone. I hardly ever need a snack or a bite of food between meals. #paleo

I'm up and down too. But I follow the paleo framework, so when I get off track or start eating off plan, I not only gain weight, but I feel like utter crap, so I don't stay off track for very long. When you body goes from feeling endless energy and the weight falls off without much effort b/c of the clean eating and then…

Here is that recipe I promised. I didn't realize Make it Paleo and The Primal Palate/Food Lovers Kitchen were one in the same. http://www.primalpalate.com/recipe/breakfast-sausages/

This is what I do. I like "Make It Paleo" Cookbook's sausage recipe. I don't have it on hand (it's at home, I'm at work) and I don't believe the recipe is available online. I'll try to locate it nonetheless to share it. It's tasty! On Day 1 as I displayed blatent disregard for the Whole30 rules this weekend. TIRED today...…

Hysterical! And totally gross...

Mine is needing resized. I have shrunk enough that if I shake my hands (like after washing them) the ring goes sailing across the room!

HA!!!

I use a military gym too. :)

LIFT HEAVY!!!!! Like REALLY heavy! www.stronglifts.com www.strstd.com

WTF is deep throating in reference to MFP??? Totally out in left field on this one... I thought deep throating was a good thing...

Make your own - macadamia nuts, unsweetened cocoa, and honey to taste.

Perfect! :love:

My chiropractor has an organic farm where he raises all kinds of organic produce and grass-fed cattle. We will be buying a side of beef from him when his cattle are ready for slaughter. This does two things - it supports a local farmer, and it takes the money out of the hands of companies like Monsanto as Monsanto has yet…

ALLLLLLL of this.

Double post.

I was just going to say that your doctor is a complete tool if he/she has you ditching fat and picking up carbs to fix insulin resistance... carbs = sugar = insulin response = insulin shoving glucose into overpacked cells = the liver taking over = glucose converting to fat. If you want to fix metabolic syndrome (i.e.…
