I am a little under 5 feet and so yes my calories too are at 1200 than if I work out like today and burn 700 calories, It can be difficult...I have found adding a pat of butter with my morning eggs or a few almonds (since they arent incredibly filling but have a lot of calories help)......I am trying to keep my calories up…

I make this crust with veggies and diced chicken and it is amazing....so much better than the Califlower pizza (in my opinion)......http://accidentalmommies.com/delicious-no-carb-pizza-recipe/

From what I understan you can eat them in limited quantities as long as they are steamed...so you could cook the spinach and steam the broccoli also I believe squash is good and other lettuces, romaine...My son has hashis and does ok with those and I am hypo and so far have had no trouble....cutting out the grain is what…

My son has Hashis' and had respiratory problems and hives (occasionally) until we took him off gluten, Once we took him off he hasn t needed his asthma medication and hasnt had any hives....Good luck

Hello!!! Today was Day 1 and It was amazing!! I have never had such a great workout!! Cant wait until day 2:)

I eat some form of eggs every morning but sometimes my husband will eat cottage cheese with tomatoe slices or left over meat from dinner.....Just dont think breakfast has to be tradtional breakfast food...

That is what i was going to suggest, up the fat just a little, a few nuts,olive oil....and maybe cut the banana out?? I can only do 1 fruit a day, dont know if it is the carbs or the sugars?? sometimes just one little change is all you need, and yes you need to rest your body....19 straight days is a lot....Good luck....It…

Thats Great!! Way to be an inspiration....

I know you are staying in your calories but what is a typical day like for you??? How much protein are you eating? What about carbs??

I thought on Pinetrest I saw a Roasted red pepper hummus....You could look for that???

Yes if you decrease your carbs you need to increase your fats, Your body naturally burns Carbs first then fats and then protein....So if you decrease your carbs your body needs the additional fat for energy, Just make sure you get it from healthier fats, olive oils, nuts, avocados ets.....

I am pretty new just started week number 4 and so far love it. I am also hypothyroid and take synthroid so weight loss has always been a struggle but in the first three weeks I lost 7lbs and have a ton of energy...please feel free to add me, I would love support of a newbie who is also hypo...:)

My son has Hashis' and he is an avid soccer player but was still just feeling tired and run down all the time, obviously not from exercise...so we ended up reading up some info about hashis' and took him off gluten a little over a week ago.Within days he was sleeping better and waking up more rested and he went to a soccer…

I was in the same boat and was tired of not seeing results.....I had tried increasing calories,working out longer,but did some research on Insulin resistance and hypothyroidism and found the Primal diet, I dont think it is for everyone but I am not going to lie, I have never felt better...I have energy all day and in the…

Actually Paleo is absolutely no dairy, But Primal does allow dairy, full fat cream,butters,yogurts,cheese.....I was actually totally against trying this but wanted to find out the best way for my body to burn energy and loose fat, and it was like a switch went on....

I was so frustrated,working like a dog, but Then I did some research and started following the primal diet and have consistently lost weight...I have lost almost 10 lbs in 20 days, I am not starving myself and actually have more energy...Not saying its for everyone but today had a great bbq after church, and ate some…

I am new to Primal also, I have about 50lbs I need to loose so I am watching my sugar intake from fruit, and limiting to one a day...more of the berries, apples or pears and trying to avoid more of the fruits with the higher sugar intakes.... I dont think there is a right or wrong answer, If you are making this a lifestyle…

Thanks, That is pretty much what I was thinking...I am on MFP with a bunch of friends who all have lost weight and are pretty athletic so I get a little flack for not always eating enough of my calories...Since they obviously dont buy into the Primal lifestyle its hard always defending myself...Thank you for the…

I am hypothyroid and my son has hashimotos, as I have been trying to loose weight and feeling unsuccessfull the Drs felt I may be insulin resistant...fast forward and a lot of research found out that Since Hashis is an auto immune problem and one of the main culprits is gluten....as I continued to do research I found the…

over 70 every day.....Yesterday was a harder day since I made steak for dinner (Not a red meat lover) but ate about 3oz anyway, I usually do a little better with chicken days!

Hi! I am only on day 5 so I cant say that I have a ton of wisdom, Yesterday I didnt feel well, tired and had a headache....I feel much better today but I keep waiting to see if the "Carb Flu" comes to visit. I would say be patient and give it a few weeks!!

So this morning, is my almost 4th day of this new eating plan, Read the article on Tue and ate more that evening and then Wed and Thursd. as much as I could..So Far lost 0.6lbs.....I was actually hungry yesterday and slept a little better...So far I say it may work...

I am going to try it today, It increases my calories by almost 800 calories but with MFP in the last two weeks I have only gained...I will let everyone know how it works out!

I agree I am gonna give it a try too, I am typically not that hungry but I can see how having to keep your body in a constant state of metabolism may work when nothing else does....I am gonna get as close as I can today and Will keep you posted!!
