I really do have an allergy to gluten and dairy. Both give me diarrhea and cramping. Gluten makes my joints hurt two days later. Dairy makes me itchy the same night. I stopped eating them and it was easier to lose weight. Since I was eating thing my body couldn't handle, it never got a chance to deal with the and my body…

It is the anti-inflammatory property of the diet as a whole. Gluten is a big one, as well as casein. Soy as well. Gluten and dairy will both give me different reactions and I am able to tell which is which. Gluten makes me feel arthritic a few days after eating and gives me intestinal problems the same day and day after.…

Lol. No, I should have written it out. Standard American diet is what I meant. It isn't the right diet for me!

I'm not strong enough to handle not doing paleo all the time. If I slip up I spiral down thanks to cravings that the SAD will unleash! It takes me 3 days to get back on track and it gives me a vision of the future because it effects my body so bad. Two days after eating gluten my joints will hurt too much to get up. It's…

Absolutely! You are what you eat and if you can process what you eat it will wreak havoc on your body. Eating clean feels good right? I know what works for me and I am completely happy with the choice I made. My doctor was floored. :)

Thank you :) I'm very happy and glad I made the lifestyle change.

If you're eating all of your calories and you're still hungry you may eating nutritionally empty foods. Try eating better quality foods.

I've tried one for just a few minutes. It made my muscles sore! I could see how it'd be a good balance/muscle challenge.

I went Paleo due to health problems. I love it. I do miss the gluten stuff sometimes but I just remind myself it's not good for me. Yes, gluten is hidden in a lot of things, and if it isn't gluten it is soy, another no no. It's really not so bad and forces you to eat real foods. Good stuff. My style of Paleo just so…

For me it is but I think I'm more sensitive than most. I'm fine without sugar in my life. Have a tiny bit and its like I can't get enough so I just crave and crave and crave. And wreck my diet.

I love it. I will never go back. It makes complete sense to me after doing my research. I tried it and lost 25 lbs alone in the first two months. It is more focused on getting rid of inflammatory foods. I would say it is not for everyone. If you like your grains, dairy and legumes too much then this won't work for you. If…

5'4" here. I'm always down for more mfp friends.

Watch "fat sick and nearly dead" for a pro juicing perspective. Why not eat the veggies and fruit instead? You'll get the fiber and feel more full.

Every morning. Then I will weigh at night just to make sure I'm on track. If I'm on track I should weigh about two lbs more than in the morning. I stopped weighing every day and that's part of how I gained 70lbs. It works for me and I don't fret when I see and increase on the scale in the evenings. If I weigh more one…

It's kinda gross when you think that it is already cooked and formed to look like bacon... But, I like it. I also eat real bacon. I do not discriminate when it comes to bacon. MMMM bacon

My doctor put me on it and my mom had a lot of success with it. Has been six months and she is still at her goal weight. I must say though that no one should do this diet if they cannot commit to eating foods that the body can handle. I spent 6 months on the paleo diet (because of lupus) and learned that I cannot handle…

Definitely not wearing any in mine AND tons of women don't wear makeup. Also I think some of the "fake" pics that irritate others are actually thinspiration pics. They may have like 100lbs to lose and put the pic of what they want to look like up in order to keep them motivated.

For me, calories don't matter as much as carbs and anti inflammatory diet. I know from experimenting and changing my diet. I now eat paleo and I'm very happy with that.

Me three!

I like that show. My body never loses lbs and inches at the same time. Always one then the other! Wtg on the loose clothes!

Gross!

We have a nurse practitioner that goes to our members homes and does wellness visits. She is probably around 300lbs. So big that I have to duck into a cubicle when she passes through because there isn't enough space in the hallway for both of us. I feel embarrassed for my company (insurance) that we are pushing to have our…

Love my FT7. I don't know about synching but it tells me my calories burned, I plug those in, and mfp learns as I go along.

July 15 here! Don't you think Cancer would make you more likely to reply?

Lower carbs is the only way I can lose weight. :( I'm doing paleo. It makes it real easy to avoid carbs!

Mines open and i do paleo. And I need more active friends. :)

Pick up s book on paleo. Also try the website nomnompaleo.com.

It depends how tall you are. I will look a lot bigger at 198 (when I wore XL) than someone who is taller than me at the same weight. I'm 5'4"

Thanks. That's now I'm feeling., it's hard to get that much fat because it is filling!
