Safeway had Wholly Guac near the mexican cheeses and refridgerated pastas.

My fiance has a pork intolerance, so he can't have much before it hurts. I fry up some and use to crumble in my salads 1-2x a week. Otherwise, my bacon intake is low. I do get a lot of milage out of turkey or chicken sausage instead. Since going Paleo, my general meat consumption has probably tripled or more and my…

I'm going from (mostly) couch potato to Cross Fit as a new gym is opening a block from my house. I signed up for a membership and was planning to start with a Tue/Thur/Sat morning CF schedule and once I'm seeing some progress, I'll re-evaluate the schedule.

I'm on my second month of primal and it's been great. Changing your lifestyle choices isn't always easy and you might not be perfectly on plan, but that's ok... it's a process and a journey. One thing I can tell you, by cutting out wheat/grains 90% of the time or so, I can really tell just how bad my body reacts to it. I'm…

Good luck on your quest for better health. I was never a heavy smoker to begin with, but I finally stopped by switching to electronic cigarettes. Why? I bought them for convenience when lighting up wasn't an option, not to actually quit smoking. How did I do it then? I just stopped purchasing packs of smokes and used only…

Awesome results indeed! I keep ignoring the haters and low-fat diet addicts and listen to my doctor instead. I'm still new to paleo, but did have blood work done from my doctor before I started. I too am lucky that my primary care physician is also in Seattle and an ND (Dr. Rachel Erickson). I was struggling with constant…

Eskimope - if having breakfast triggers the "always hungry" response then it seems you've got a couple of options. You could choose not to eat until you are hungry. Assuming that you generally get your healthy calories and nutrients eventually, then listening to what your body wants is probably a good thing. Alternatively,…

I would recommend 100% hazelnut butter (not Nutella) or almond butter instead of peanut butter.

Ajweekley - I took a zucchini and yellow squash and with a veggie peeler, sliced into 1/4 - 1/2 inch wide ribbons. Then, I saute them in a pan w/ a little olive oil, butter, pepper and garlic until "al dente" or to taste. It's good w/ a meat sauce. I can also imagine it to go well with something like chicken piccata too. I…

After suffering with constant swelling of my ankles and inability to lose weight through calorie restriction, I went to the doctor. After getting my blood test results back and seeing my insulin resistance and other issues, she suggested I try the Paleo diet. The no rice, grains, legumes, dairy and pasta freaked me out a…
