  • How about a dry bread mix ?
  • ok yeah.. I mean my thing is adding calories in veggies and low glycemic fruit... regardless paleo supports this..
  • Spaghettios and hamburgers from the 7-11 in highschool.. NO WONDER i was overweight... lol... I also drank soda and the powder from the cake mix... in the 80's no one knew anything.. i definantly had no idea why i did not look like everyone else...
  • hey same HERE!.. i just never get to 125.. lol.. i am always between 131-135 which is fine... the struggle to be 125 keeps me at a good head space to maintain under 135
  • my biggest issue is that people get annoyed when i say i am 5 lbs. from goal weight.. of course i have been saying this for over 20 years lol... i am happily maintaining the 131-135 range.. and clearly i will never get to my goal which is FINE.. i am older... dont need to be thin.. but for god sakes LET me have my fun....…
  • ok well gained a few lbs.. to many holiday parties.. but back on track now.. if i dont let my weight go up by more then 5 lbs.. i am ok... i just have to check in monthly i think at least
  • I have been on maintenance for a while.. and will weigh myself usually once a month.. if i have gone up 5 lbs.. i start to login my food to make sure i am not eating to much.. i follow PALEO and IF... I also just eat low carb if i am feeling bloated before an event... if i let it go more then 5 lbs. that will turn into 10…

  • I do cardio and weights. but very little.. i have all sorts of knee issues and wrist issues... one a side note... LAST YEAR i decided in order to maintain my weight i should work out more.. i was spinning 2 hours a day 7 days a week and i gained 15 lbs.. lol... so being normal in the gym is better and definantly the diet…
  • I am 45 and have been dieting my entire life.. My normal weight is like 160 and i go up quickly when i stop eating my 1200 regime.. and then go back down because i was always so strict..but not anymore... The IF diet (and it does not matter how you do it) works.. i even did the 5:2 day thing while in airports in europe and…
  • I did it everyone.. I have not logged in for months.. i have not weighed myself.. and i have maintained my 131 lbs. with NO EFFORT.. i just weighed myself this morning after months of traveling and eating and not worrying.. I have been doing the IF intermittent fasting.. I eat in a 5-6 hour window everyday, the rest of the…
  • Calories in/out still count.. i agree with that...i did that my whole life.. thats why i am 131.. my issue was maintaing it... so i am just doing it differently. instead of eating 5-6 times a day 150 calorie meals which made me upset and hungry and would not allow me to eat more... .i am now eating 2 (700) calories meals…
  • you are right.. i am sorry, read my post below.. i added info
  • oh.. yes you are right.. SORRY.. listen everyone I am not eating over 2000 calories a day... I know this because even though i am not tracking it on my phone. i have been dieting for over 30 years and i know how many calories everything has down to the last ounce.. when i go to restaurants, i know for a fact i ate over…
  • I weighed in after the trip at 132.2 :) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy... All i want in life is to maintain and be able to eat the occasional treat .. I think the FASTING and WALKING helped.. and keeping to my PALEO lifestyle.. and skipping a meal if NOT hungry at all. This is truly unreal.. in the past i would have…
  • My Husband and I have been drinking black coffee for years now. We bought a really good expresso machine and we just drink that everyday... I use to drink coffee with milk and brown sugar ( funny ) what a waste of a perfectly good stomach ache pain free morning right ? I stopped because of the calories, what i did not…
  • Very Interesting.. I was not looking for anything.. I was going along in my life Starving at 1000-1200 calories to maintain my weight of 131 for like 20 years.... I love to talk about this so on a trip to CHICAGO i mentioned to my CROSSFIT cousins my diet and they told me i was crazy.... They told me about PALEO and i…
  • Thank you for your reply... So according to this in order to maintain i can eat 1690 calories a day right ? according to some calculators.. i have 104 lbs. of lean muscle and 29 lbs. of fat ( 13 of which are necessary and the rest is extra )... at least thats what the calculator says.. and it sounds about right... everyone…
  • Hi Sofithomas I have alot of Vegan friends... they look for ways to get protein without eating meat and they are all fine and healthy and look great.. This is an issue i have found to be VERY personal for each person. I for one love meat, and i eat it alot.. but if i were one day to have an issue for whatever reasons, i…
  • NO LIST for the past 20 years.. ============================= SODA * back like 20 years ago.. have never looked back... IF i need something bubbly i have sparkling water with lime...

  • The fat is whats keeping me sane and not hungry.. not giving up the fat macro anytime soon...you are right about that.... i might do a litte extra carbs 1 or 2 days a week just on high workout days..... by adding extra 1./2 cup sweet potato or 1/4 cup cooked white rice... but thats all... i dont think i ever hit the 20%…
  • Yes great. I bought some jasmine .. I am going to have like 1/4 cup every other day.. so far no issues.... you know now that i think about it.. when i was little they use to give us white potato and rice when our stomachs hurt.. it was called the white diet.. and it makes sense now.... when you are not ok..its about the…
  • yes very good advice.. i dont want to lose out on culture and food.. so i will sample unique things (but a small amount) i dont want to end up doubled over in pain while watching the moulin rouge.. you know... walking is part of the fun, so we do that alot.. The main thing for me is that for the first time i have answers…
  • i always go over in my protein anyway.. but like i will research this more...maybe i am under eating protein thank you for your advice.
  • Same here.. leaving on tuesday for 17 days.. i will be mindful to not eat things that i know are just downright bad for my stomach... and if i really really crave something yummy. i will have a little.. i will not be overdoing anything this time... mostly because i need to have a nice trip, i am tired of using rolaids or…
  • I started paleo in an effort to lose 5 lbs. or maintain my weight... but paleo did so much more then that.. It taught me how certain foods are what is causing all my stomach problems, it taught me that I DONT HAVE A PROBLEM with my weight.. i had a problem with the food i was eating.... it taught me how to enjoy whole…
  • oh no.. dont worry at all. i never take things the wrong way. everyone here i feel has only good intentions.. i know i dont communicate well. i am working on that. your comments have been 100% helpful to me in many ways.
  • Thank you SmallPaleHuman :) you are so sweet to write to me.. We are going to London, Paris, Brussels, Luxemburg & Amsterdam.. My family is not into processed foods.. They are all foodies, so we will only be eating high quality food.. ( which is very helpful ) because although I love eating good wholesome food.. JUNK looks…
