There are of course many nutrients that are important for eye health -- but I learned years ago that the eyes are one of the most concentrated places for Vitamin C in the body. I was having flashes of white light in my peripheral vision, and my eye doctor said that my retina may detach -- and that no, there were no…

What I notice (and I am kind of surprised no one else has commented on it) -- is the lack of vegetables. Are you just not tracking them? I would encourage you to move away from the packaged/processed stuff (don't even go down those aisles at the store, or if you have to for some reason, just don't look -- get what you NEED…

In my experience, my body needs to be *either* focused on digesting, OR focused on exercising -- NOT both. I have read the Whole 30 book and I understand what part you are talking about, but in no way would I interpret that to mean that you should eat in the middle of working out. I also want to say that this is another…

Do you know how to adjust your percentages for macros, and for what appears on your page? I pay NO attention to what MFP recommends for carbs, fat, protein, OR calories. I set my own goals, and even then, I have to change it sometimes so that I don't have numbers showing up in RED. That drives me nuts.

My family thanks you for posting this. We've all been Paleo for 6 months, but I think this is the first "ice cream" recipe we've done. I made the Paleo one yesterday and they all loved it. I didn't know how much vanilla to use so I just did 1 tsp. And 30 g of honey. And I threw in some of those tiny frozen wild blueberries…

Maybe focus more often on meats that are the most dense sources of protein? I have found that tilapia and chicken breast are both surprisingly high in protein, and low in calories.

Did you set those macro goals for yourself? I would maybe increase your fat percentage and decrease your protein percentage, unless you are really trying to build muscle and truly need that amount of protein. If that is a pretty typical day, 92 grams of protein is not bad, IMO.

As you can see, people are adding much more than a "small amount" of healthy fat. ;) I am no longer counting calories on Paleo/Primal, but the way I understand it -- this fat is going to be used as fuel, NOT stored. The idea is to load up on these healthy fats with your coffee first thing in the morning, and enjoy being…

Am I understanding correctly, that you are getting stressed out about the logging... constantly having to measure & think about every morsel you put in your body? Yes, that gets tiresome. Especially if you feel like you've got a good handle on eating "correctly" to meet your goals. I hear you about eating extra food even…

I appreciate this post, also. I will have to check it out & see how it compares to our local farm. Thanks! :)

Another vote for Amazon! We use it all the time -- love our Prime membership. I got a really good deal on every type of unsweetened coconut when Tropical Traditions was running one of their free shipping coupons. If you haven't checked out their website... they have some pretty awesome stuff. If you sign up for them to…

I do consume nuts and nut butters, but I will tell you it is VERY easy to over-do it! Try to make sure they are plain, raw -- not roasted or salted. It is (generally) a lot easier for people to put down the nuts and walk away, when they are plain. Robb Wolf encourages us to take that a step further, and eat nuts that we…

Sweet potatoes are your post-workout carb... then you need to have the protein to help build muscle and to help with muscle recovery, too. Chicken breast, tuna, salmon, eggs, a steak... lots of protein choices out there besides whey protein powder. There was a recent thread here about powders, and several people use egg…

I don't know how long you have been doing Paleo... but it gets to a point where it is nearly impossible for me to count, not to mention highly frustrating. Have you ever tried to divide out a recipe, like a soup or a casserole, with a lot of ingredients? And maybe you don't want to measure every. single. thing. -- want to…

I think your calories are *incredibly* low & it will stall your weight loss, big time. I think you should listen to your body, eat when you are hungry, and give it what it needs to reach your goals. Fruit will go to replacing liver glycogen before it will replace muscle glycogen. A better choice for carbs post-workout…

...And do you guys actually buy the "Upgraded Coffee" from the Bulletproof website? It sounds pretty awesome... but I am afraid to get hooked on it, at that price -- yikes!

I just read through the entire thread to see if anyone mentioned "Vital Whey". I just bought some on Amazon... says it is from 100% grass-fed cows. I got the unflavored because I did not want sweeteners of any kind, but there is also chocolate and vanilla with minimal ingredients. 56 servings was $69.99 = $1.25 per…

A question for those of you who do this bulletproof coffee -- do you ever have it in the afternoon, also? Besides the idea that caffeine in the afternoon will disrupt our sleep... is there any reason not to add some ghee and coconut oil to my afternoon coffee, if I am going to have the coffee anyway? I am new to the whole…

I gained weight just by *looking* at these pictures. Thanks! :D You guys have some amazing stuff here.

The short answer is yes, you should be eating those calories, not leaving them left over. You will stall your weight loss if you consume too few calories. Your metabolism will slow down, and that is the opposite of what you want. Getting those calories can actually be pretty simple. One ounce of most nuts and seeds is…
