Dang, never was any good at personal attacks :) Limiting severely for everyone? No, like I said previously, some are affected more than others and those are obviously the people who will tend to stick with it because they are seeing clear benefits. But general trends will change when people recognize the benefits in those…

Don't be scared! From what I understand the box you end up with makes all the difference, I am very fortunate to have a brother that has been doing it for years on his own visited a few places in my area and signed me up for a month at that one he liked best. And it is awesome! Best gift ever. You want a place that will…

I think people are missing the overall point of the Paleo/Primal diet/lifestyle. The "eat the way a caveman does" is such a simplification intended only to help people understand what to actually put in their mouth. Not the WHY it's healthier. The health benefits for many (notice I did not say all) comes from the way our…

Another option is greek yogurt with fruit, walnuts, and some local honey for allergens. yummy

oops, didn't mean to do twice

Maybe I should have typed: don't let your heels lift off the ground. To me this translates into weight in heels, balanced.

I'd go with the eggs for the protein, will help keep you full onger and avoid the crash and hunger shortly after. I often do a few hard boiled eggs, fruit, and a handful of walnuts.

I've heard a good number of times to keep your weight in your heels and really press yours knees out on the push, don't let them cave in to the center. I keep my feet probably around a 20 degree angle and vary the width depending on what I'm doing.

Paleo will make much more sensef you read more into the biochemistry involved on how our bodies hormonally respond to grains and how the grains have defense systems that can irritate the intestine leading to "leaky gut" and chronic inlfammation. It is much more complex than a "simple eat like your ancestors" and the big…

Hang on a pull up bar and swing your knees up to your elbows

I added it after reading Robb Wolf's book and my husband's Dr. recommending it.

Try making extra dinner servings and packing those for lunch the next day. It's worked great for me with Paleo where the lunch sandwich can be a pitfall. It's really no extra work to make extra and takes a huge stress offf wondering what to pack for lunch.

I've been making extra dinner servings and packing those for lunch for the following day. Will be much better than a TV dinner and won't take you any extra effort.

I've been using Beyond The Whiteboard for a few months to log workouts, just started loggin nutrition here. It would be nice to have them together but I LOVE BTWB, it was has the mainsite WOD and all the moves and you can create your own from the moves if your box doesn't post their WOD (some do) . It's $3 a month but…

Thanks for the groups post, I didn't even know there were groups, now joined.

My thought on calorie free sweeteners is that they will never break your addiction to sweets and can set off some of the same hormonal responses to sugar. The research is pretty murky but some is there to dredge through if you wish. I figure why risk it and real food tastes better when you reduce your sweets addiction. I…

Yes! research paleo

And real food will begin to taste sweeter once you get the crap out. Baby carrots are a sweet treat for me after lunch! And don't give up on fruit, there are so many choices and ways to eat and your taste WILL change once you kick the sugar addiction.

I'm afraid I may be risking some hate posting here. But just to show that all body types are different, even at the same height. I', 5'9", When I've gone soft I'm perfect at 130, when muscular 135 will be just right. I think it has more to do with muscle tone, frame, and how your clothes feel than a number on a scale.

Love this!

I love Paleo, and I think of it as a lifestyle rather than a diet. No one wants to be on a diet forever. I have had huge sucess with managing blood sugar, IBS symptoms, fatigue, and overall body composistion. I've cheated a few times with pizza or pasta and I felt it pretty quick (bloat, cramps, cravings), I'll only do…

Boobs :( Then love handles, tummy, and arms Inner thighs seem to be the most stubborn. But my butt is actually getting a nice shape (suffer from NoAssAtAll Disease) from CrossFit, my hubby will have to transition form a boob to butt man.
