I find with the Dark Chocolate. I get full fast.... I buy the 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Baking Chips .. and 16 of them have like 8 carbs and 60 Calories... and literally you CANT really eat more then that... dark chocolate makes me full faster.. HOWEVER if i ate a snickers.. i could have 2 of those.. lol!!!

I tried it yesterday.... zero stomach issues.. ( i mean i just had a 1/4 cup cooked and cooled white rice to test )... and i did it right after the gym... so maybe that was like 10 carbs... I might play around with the carbs.. although i want most of my carbs to come from veggies and some fruit.. so i dont want the rice to…

Sorry about that.. I wont Capatalize it again.. I am new, so getting the hang of it

Thank you :flowerforyou:

I might try it. just because of the Thyroid issue and work out alot ( everyday ) . so I probobly would do better with 1/4 cup rice then if i added fruit.... that makes sense.. much rice do you eat? do you wash it first? I have Jasmine Long Grain Rice.. not sure if that would work... This forum is really amazing.. I love it…

since their are so many forums..... Its just so i can see it better.. and recognize which are my posts at a glance

The reason i ask is because i see it on all PALEO websites. but i could not determine if they just want us to know WHAT nighshades are or that they are included or which are PALEO.....??? Thanks for the Reference.. I will look it up... :flowerforyou: I cant say ENOUGH how much more helpful this BLOG has been (talking to…

I am the fixing metabolism phase at this point in life.... because after 20+ years of calorie restriction i am pretty sure my metabolism is ruined... and although i have LOST ALL the weight restricting my calories..... its just not fun to maintain anymore... and every year its like LESS calories for the same weight......…

Akimajuktuq You mentioned you are not longer losing any weight... ? how long has it been since you lost any weight??? I mean i think its good enough that you are not gaining and you are healthy..... but it must be frustrating.... its not like putting back unhealthy food will help... and calorie restricting did not help…

Yeah here is another one http://paleoleap.com/about-rice/ yet the reason they eat it is because its a clean starch and post workout and because its tolerated... NOT because it has any nutrients. which to me defeats the purpose. at least mine i want to eat things that serve a specific purpose and dont harm me.. so i am done…

Ok found something http://primaltoad.com/white-rice/ Interesting... its about a guy who lose weight after a plateau by adding 150g of white rice to his diet POST workout... he also goes on to compare all sorts of foods to each other... interesting read..

if you google thyroid, white rice & paleo subject...its on ALL the PALEO sites. but i cant get a straight answer... i cant imagine what GOOD white rice can do to anyone you know.. i imagine its the nutrients in it.. i am trying to figure out WHAT about the white rice is good and try to get it with ANOTHER food you…

Yeah so far i have not found 1 good reason to eat grain again... I am pretty much convinced after reading all these threads.. I will checkout the thread you are talking about.. thank you

Dragonwolf....Sounds like you have had a very tough time.. I admire your will.. A few months ago on a TRIP to chicago, my cousins who do CROSSFIT told me how they do PALEO ( they are young in their 20's) .. They told me it would be a great way to maintain my weight etc..and not be so hungry all the time.. and they also…

Ok so honey is not so good... i just thought it was good for us because of antioxidants or whatever. but i guess no SUGAR is better... Still trying to get a grasp on PALEO.. i mean i get the meat and fat part.. Thats easy...... (its the fruits, veggies & misc... things i am trying to figure out... another one is SWEET…

Hi Dragonwolf I see you have lost a lot of weight.. :) !! thats fantastic.... you lost the 48 lbs. with PALEO?? It also says you have been doing this since 2012.. so like 2 years already :) ... and in all this time.. no grains.. no sugar,,, no junk... alcohol? maybe... just curious All i can say is KEEP IT GOING.. i wish…

I was just trying to be nice by acknowledging what people said about vitamin C thats all... :flowerforyou: and i probobly should read what i write... i had 2 ideas in my head and i put it all in one.... what can i say? sorry about that..... i did not mean to confuse anyone.. as for the grains...still searching for anyone…

no.. lol.. i never said grains are good for vitmain c... ha ha ha.. i know that vitamin c comes from fruits and veggies.. i think everyone knows that... i must have not explained myself.. that was seperate.. ... the grains were more in reference to things like white rice or maybe oats or something... i was just wondering…

So ok Bottom line, grains are stupid just like sugar or junk food.... and vitamin C comes from alot of things I can eat in the form of veggies and fruit with low GI or whatever thats called.. ok great. that sounds good.. what about all they say about white rice and thyroid

I only eat real food..

calories in ,, calories out always has worked for me. 100% of the time.... and no health issues... no matter what kind of calorie... but at this age i noticed food intolerances that i did not have in the past... GLUTEN and DAIRY and SUGAR... so paleo is not so much what i am doing, but what i have to do for my stomach.. At…

Ok I had 2 of those drinks you suggested and BOY did that knock me over.. lol!! next time i will do single shot.. ha ha ha.. I actually was SOOO blasted that I ended up eating a MACADAMIA NUT BROWNIE dessert with my friend... crazy.... FUN.. but like thats not on my diet plan.... i looked up the calories.. and it was like…

Olive Oil Avocados Chicken Romaine Lettuce Berries

I totally forgot about that.. we can get VITAMIN C from veggies.... also a supplement would be great..

What about these foods.. 1 serving a day... for extra Vitamin C :love: banana raisins swee tpotato apple

I also read about some people having some deficiencies in vitamin C and having kidney issues.. I read this on the PALEO websites.. and so i am trying to find out if anyone here actually includes grains.... i will keep researching, its just hard to seperate what is fact and what is not.. so much info out their... and at…

I heard White rice was good for people like me who have a Thyroid Problem.. so maybe adding some White rice like 1/2 cup a day would not hurt...

Perfect. yeah what i did was have like 1/8 cup raisins with like 1 tablespoon of organic cream.. delicious snack...
