Good. If it is just coconut milk, no added crap If you don't mix it with grains, starches and sugars

You are a lucky gal! The workouts like that do all the wrong things to me, by totally shredding muscle from my upper body :( YOU ROCK!!!!
-
Of course it won't keep you full. It is sugar, with sugar, and more sugar and starch. You will also crash at 2 pm looking for more sweets. Forget about calories today. Eliminate all carbs for the rest of the day, and load up on eggs, meat, fish and good fats (coconut oil, butter, fat from meats) and start again tomorrow…

Eat good fats, like avocado, coconut oil, ev olive oil, fat from meat and fatty fish. They will cancel sugar cravings.

Not zucchini, eggplant! Search for Eggplant caviar, it is WONDERFUL. You can also try any antipasti recipes, those are even better. Here is mine: Bulgarian Lecho (Really, it is likely to remind you of the antipasti, but that’s what it’s called in the Byzantium part of the Roman Empire) 2 large (regular) or 3 medium…

Yay! I don't have any diseases, save for a propensity to get high blood sugar, but I find that primal is great for me. It is a hard diet for me to follow, but it is worth it! Welcome!!!

Now that I have a moment, I can maybe list our staple meals. I am kindda on the rails, because of what we load in the freezer from the farms and whole sale & don't want to eat the same thing day in/day out. Our staples are: Meatzzas, meatballs or burgers. Made with the same dairy free, bread free meat 'dough'. Usually I do…

It's unisex, and it is not curcuits. You do 5 sets of 5 for each of the 5 major lifts divided into 2 workouts. Workout A is SQT, BP and BBR Workout B is SQT, OHP and DL (DL is only one set after warm up) Support vary, but iirc it was plank and RC on WA days and pull ups/chin-ups on the WB days. You add weight every session…

You are doing the Strong Lifts 5x5 by the sound of it. You can search the net and see the schedules. It's a good starting program, very efficient.
-
Luckily, you won't be able to do it for longer than 3-4 days. After which you will binge yourself out of your mind, and calories will balance out if you have a very healthy satiety switch; if you do not, you will eat more than you 'saved' and will gain weight. If you have a willpower of a robot and persist, you will…

So, fry your chicken, just don't do the breading (maybe throw some shredded cheese on), and use a good oil to fry, not some crappy canola. And serve greens for the side, steamed or fresh. If your folks can't live without grains, serve them grains or potato separately. You will be a slender goddess in no time, and your…

If your BF% is from a scale, don't worry about 'muscle loss'. It has one hell of a time trying to distinguish between water and muscle. Just watch your inches in the neck, bicep, chest, waist and hip/thighs and any annoying area of fat deposition you might have. But eating 1 g of protein per lbs of lean muscle mass is a…
-
Uhm, actually, if you increase your running that's gonna be detrimental to fat loss and fitness. Keep it at 20 min 3x a week, but make it intense, and win at life!
-
I don't have pics, but I dry-roasted a couple of chickens yesterday and we are gonna have the leftovers. I am going to roast a bunch of veggies (mostly from the garden: beets, carrots, turnips, zucchinis) with the drippings for my folks and have a couple of cups of spinach with the leftover guacamole myself. For dessert…

So far I am 19 days of Savory Primal. For this challenge, I am gonna stay away from my daughter's PB. Other than that, I don't need to make any additional changes. So, I am ready & willing.
-
I am going to keep to my normal schedule: 4 days of lifting + 20 min HIIT (on X-trainer) 2 SS cardio sessions of no more than 35 min in duration (1 X-trainer and 1 swim) at least 60 min a day of moving slowly outdoors and, the most complicated on: stretch daily!!! I can't emphasize enough how much I need to stretch daily.…
-
Yeah, I always have boiled eggs, home made turkey jerky and/or all natural ham, and canned sardines, tuna and wild salmon on hand (when I have to have a protein fix FAST). To add to this, there are soaked, dehydrated and frozen nuts, raw organic cheese, coconut milk and creamed coconut (when I want tea with sweets).…

You should not regret eating a good thing. As long as it was olive or avocado oil, not some crappy canola oil, those 240 calories went to a good use.
-
You will eventually start getting hungry. Right now you are running on the stored up energy. As long as you don't try to force yourself to stick with too low calories, eat when you are hungry, stop when you are full and only of foods that are not toxic, and appetite inducing, your appetite will normalize to your needs and…

Zen is a good word for it. Actually, the mind always comes first when choice is made to eat or not to eat. I highly recommend Susan Albers books - she might not be on board with what healthy means exactly (I just substitute 'high fat' for 'high carb', lol), but she knoeth the workings of a woman's mind, I tell ya! And just…
-
The way I feel about it is that I kindda intend to live that way anyway, so it is not like Whole 30 is some kind of a Big Deal. I also don't really give a fig about the dire psycho-crazy warnings on the W30 website how one drop is gonna DESTROY it all - again, because I don't intend to stop at 30 days. I also don't plan to…
-
OMG, I survived Day 16 of my 100 Days of Savory Life. That was the first time I was seriously challenged. HUGE apple craving right during this unsettled time when you just can't go to bed when you should.
-
Well, you can imagine a pic of 3 eggs from the dozen O3 eggs' carton and a jar of coconut oil and another twist top of broth... Not a looker, but works for me. I have to pack my husband's and my daughter's lunches daily, so I just go simple & bulk for myself & enjoy the microwave cooking.
-
No, but if they sold them in a store here, I would get them! Online order... I think I will go with sesame oil + fish sauce or plain sea salt for the oriental flavor for now.

It depends on your eating philosophy and what satiates you. Depending on your sugar/carb sensitivity, you can be perfect on 30-40% (low sugar/carb sensitivity) or you may have to go to 70+% fat if you are sensitive. The easy way to test is to eat to satiation matching 30-40% range, and see how many cals it takes you to…

Skip the rope for as long as you can at a high intensity, rest 30 sec. Rinse -repeat 10x. If you do not have a jumping rope, do the same with burpies, ~ 10-15 full burpies with 10 sec rest. Fast, efficient and you have time to relax before the party :)
-
It happens, particulary when your macro ratios change a lot, like rising your fats high. If your proteins get high, normally it gets hard and solid. It will normalize, unless your veggies or fruti are rotten or something.
-
meringues or a flour-less chocolate cake :) The best recipes are the one that do not employ flour to start with. You can do jellos with natural juices and fruit as well. You can bring cheesecakes without a crust. And you can go savory for baked bacon roses, mini appetizers like cucumber slices topped with goat cheese and…
-
I would go for a few eggs/egg whites or leftover meat/fish to meet your protein needs. A can of tuna is super simple. Most protein shakes and drinks have Bad Stuff added to them. If you can get pure whey isolate... even then, I would rather add egg whites to a smoothie than an isolate.

I started a ticker. My October Savory Primal will count towards my goal of 100 Savory Days! Keeping fingers crossed I can meet it. http://tickers.tickerfactory.com/ezt/t/wKbWSsX/exercise.png
