  • My best advice is to "eat real food." When we cut out the processed food, it slashed our grocery bill (chips and frozen pizza and cookies are EXPENSIVE). And, yeah, your crock pot is your friend.

  • The folks who wrote the cookbook "Paleo Comfort Food" say this about the diet: "It's a way of eating, it's not a historical re-enactment." I agree.

  • 25 years ago, I blew out my knee doing an MS150. I put the bike away (okay, it got stolen), I porked out, got slow and haven't touched a bike since... until I went low carb, dropped 30 pounds and found myself craving a bicycle again.

  • Your brain actually burns ketones more efficiently than carbs... and you bobdy is capable of manufacturing more than enough glucose for it's deaily needs from the protein and fat you eat.

  • :smile: Have been logging in for... um... 5 or 6 days. MFP seemed a little cumbersome at first, but it's getting easier now. And I like that you can go online and do more with the app. I'm tracking carbs and exercise (to lower my triglycerides down and my HDL up). I've been on a low carb diet since September and have…
