I have PCOS and live a paleo lifestyle. I lost about 70lbs, then had a couple of babies. I'm back down 50lbs with about 30 to go. Anyone feel free to add me!

I'm not keto, but I am paleo!

HI! I was diagnosed in 2012 with PCOS and am successfully managing symptoms with a paleo lifestyle. I'll send over a friend request! :smiley:

I have been Paleo for 1.5 years and you really just have to find what works for you. With educating myself and gaining insight from a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (emilyschromm.com or superherounleashed.com) go to macros are typically 30% protein for everyone, then 15% carbs if you need to lose weight, up to about 25%…

If my hair seems dry, I'll put a bit on my finger tips and rub through the ends of my hair before bed. Then wash in the morning. A little goes a long way!

I stick to a glass or 2 of wine. Or tequila, club soda, and a squeeze of lime. If I'm just having one drink I'll get a hard cider.

Beautiful 9!

You need to get out of my head. ;) I just bought some plain unsweetened kefir yesterday to "add back in." I'm in desperate need of some probiotics. Haven't had any kefir yet, I'm still recovering from my non-paleo meal this weekend, that threw my insides for a loop. I settled for some kombucha until I'm ready for kefir. As…

Nice article to keep in my back pocket for the nay-sayers! Thanks for sharing!

Okayyyy.. so. Wait. Why are you seeing a trainer again? I mean you obviously have it all figured out - and everything is working perfectly... that's why you're paying someone to tell you what you should and shouldn't be doing? Now asking a public forum? You're right. Just keep doing what you've always done, I'm sure your…

My opinion is that sugar (especially refined sugar) triggers more sugar cravings. The more you crave the less likely you are to stick to your nutritional or caloric goals which may hinder your weight loss/fat loss. My experience is that when I limit refined sugars or refined carbs (that ultimately turn to sugar in your…

I always crave sweet before salty, but I do love dill pickles - the small gherkins.

That's great to hear drmartz55! I hope I can say the same in a couple months. :)

Okay, so I just had a chance to check out the website mentioned above http://www.humansarenotbroken.com/youre-getting-too-good-at-paleo/ Wow. That was a very much needed read. THANK YOU!

Thank you everyone! I really appreciate the feedback! You all have confirmed a few of my thoughts and pointed out some things I hadn't thought about. Time to embrace veggies! :)

Such great info, thank you! I'm going to go check out that website. I do need to bulk up on veggies and lessen the nuts. I think I'm using nuts, butters and almond flour as a crutch. I'm typing this as my homemade granola is in the oven. Ha! Thanks again. I'm going to reread all of this info and that website until I can…

It's also quite possible that I'm over eating... but I'm really listening to my body and when I'm over on cals, I was hungry. I should also mention that I eat 300-500 extra cals a day for breastfeeding which probably contributes to my hunger somedays.

TEXAS LONGHORNS! :devil: BOOMER SOONER!! See you on the field Bevo... then the plate. :drinker:

Rain = nickname, short for Lorraine. 31982 = 3/19/82 The birthdate of a good friend who passed away when we were in high school.

Whole eggs, bacon, and kale/spinach. Sometimes I add mushrooms, tomatoes, grain-free muffin... and always with coffee.

That's awesome! I haven't done Whole 30, but I did a similar 21 day (paleoish) challenge that just ended and I feel amazing! Friend request sent! @AJSMmom http://whole30.com/

Not sure what Akima uses, but I use 1 tablespoon of butter or coconut oil, or a combination (1/2T and 1/2T). It always blends nice with the right amount of froth and doesn't feel oily or anything. If I need or want some sweetener, I'll add 1/2T or less of raw honey. *Edit for the tuna & strawberries - WTF? blech. ;) I'm…

I found grass fed butter at out local health food store. Starbucks has kerrygold if you're ever out and about and need a coffee fix. And yes, I have to blend my bulletproof coffee! If I'm on the go and don't have a blender.. I found THIS little gadget:…

What he said, I swear I'm obsessed.

You do not have to be hungry to lose weight, in fact you shouldn't. Although your diary isn't open, my guess is your food choices are the culprit. Enjoy more healthy fats and protein that will make you feel full longer. It's hard to give advice if we can't see what and how much you're eating. Good luck!

Oh I'm so thankful I just found this group. It's like a weight lifted! I feel like an outcast 3rd grader on the main forum. I never ask questions because I know the thread will take an ugly turn.

Who doesn't love a nice beard?!

Look at your carbs, fat, and protein in percentages. So, say your carbs are at 40% - a decent goal would be 30% fat and 30% protein to offset your 40% carb. I for one, have found that a diet higher in healthy fats works for me. My carbs are currently set to 20%, my fat 50%, and my protein 30%. That is not for everyone, but…

There is this button on her profile..... it says FOLLOW, uncheck it. She will no longer show up on your news feed, but she can still see your posts. It's like deleting someone without the drama.

+1 on the bacon And I puffy heart eggs too. Why you hate on eggs OP?
