Welcome! I was pretty diligent with Paleo for about 7/8 months last year until I hit the holidays when life just got in the way (excuses, excuses, I know :P) but I am now trying to come back full force! When I say “pretty diligent” I mean that my regular “cheats” were limited to red wine on the weekends (I too will not…

I am in the SAME boat. Hate fish. All seafood, actually. Have tried many sorts, but you know what? I cannot do it. I get sick. So, to answer your question................. sub chicken for fish recipes. A lot of the recipes I have seen in the books are just about the seasoning and sauce associated. Just put that on a…

I also find it to be motivating to get up and MOVE! While I have been pretty good about sticking to Paleo (well, not yesterday), it’s the exercising that has been lacking for me. I have yet to get up and move! I started doing squats in the morning while drying my hair (originally standard squats, now twist squats (20) and…

Very quick breakfast (which I find I do more often than not due to work stress) is a Lara Bar. I like the Apple Pie the best. Other than that, I really like the hash idea and I have done smoothies in the past which are great too!
-
Feel free to add me as well! LOL, please do not take my diary from yesterday as my standard way of eating... definitely fell off the wagon and am back at it today. To spin that into a positive, I do log even if it is a bad day!

I make a lot of the recipes I normally made, just Paleo friendly (i.e. no grains, no dairy, no legumes). My go-to: Chicken Meatballs: 1 package (1 lb) ground chicken (if your super market does not have ground chicken, throw a lb of chicken breast into a food processer) 3 cloves of garlic, minced 4 stalks of scallions,…

I am Paleo and religiously count my calories... for three reasons: 1.) I am just so used to it that I continue, 2.) it forces me to be accountable for all my consumption (good and bad), and 3.) like many said: it is sometimes hard for me to meet my calorie goal on Paleo. Logging also helps me to see trands. What I am…

Thanks for the advice, guys! The menu is http://tarathaifallschurch.com/image/menu_tarathaifallschurch.pdf I am leaning towards Green Curry Chicken sans rice. Maybe add brocolli or something like that? I don't know if I could eat two (lol, I guess it depends on how hungry I am that day!).

I’ll give you a real life example of what I have experienced when I have “cheated”. Went to a wedding over Memorial Day. Friday and Saturday I kept strong, only introducing Sangria as the non-(as much as possible when you’re not in full control over the food preparation)-paleo item. Sunday and Monday, however, I did not do…

Aside from my mother telling me that "you need grains for a healthy diet!!"... no, no actual valid/good criticisms against the Paleo/Primal lifestyle. I would be interested in reading though if anyone has any!
-
Same here! I carried tums and Prilosec on me at ALL times. Now, it's there... just haven't used it in 12 weeks.
-
Haven't ran into one yet... but agreed: ugh. I don't like soap boxes in general.
-
I think we all have bad days (or weeks… or months…) regardless of what stage we are in with our diet or lifestyle change (beginning, a few months in, a few years in, etc.). The important thing is to acknowledge that you had a bad week and get back on the horse. Don’t let this define you! Rather, let your motivation to get…

I take a multi-vitamin, B12, and Biotin. May up my Vitamin D, Calcium, and B12.
-
Haha, yeah. My main motto is: do what works for you. Everyone I think has their own different spin on Paleo/Primal/Dieting in general, so if it works for you and is maintainable, great! If not, change something up. Regardless, don’t nay-say. I haven’t met a single person who gets up on a soap box and proclaims that…

Amazing!! Great job! You're an inspiration! :)

If MFP were Facebook, I would "like" this post :)

I took a look at your diary for the past couple days, and while I see some room for improvement (e.g. sugar intake, some processed items, some dairy/bread – though not sure if you’re more primal than paleo - etc.), I am not seeing where you “blew it”. You seem to exercise often, are honest with your logs, and mostly tend…

This happened to me too, and still happens occasionally. At first, it was definitely part of the detoxing… I would get headaches, feel sluggish, etc. However, push through it and you will reap the benefits! The times that it happens now 12 weeks in is definitely correlated to the amount of caffeine I drink (too much =…

First of all: you are beautiful! When you look in the mirror each day you should remind yourself that. I know what you mean, though and can absolutely relate. There are pictures of my at my heaviest on display at my mother’s house that I am utterly ashamed of and try to steer my boyfriend away from ever even glimpsing in…

Fanastic!! Way to go!
-
Thanks everyone! All great ideas!
-
I do not do heavy lifting, but am Paleo with an open diary - feel free to add! I try and log every day... including those where I fall off the wagon.
-
Agreed with the above. My BF is not Paleo but essentially defaults to it through my shopping and cooking. I do buy him snacks that I do not eat (pretzels, cereal, etc.) and sides that I do not eat (rice, cous cous, quinoa) – but he also enjoys the snacks that I am able to eat too. Often times at dinner, he doesn’t even…

LOL ;-) In all seriousness, this is great! Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks, everyone! I am glad to know I am not the only one that this has happened to! It does amaze me how the body is and reacts to things. It's as if while we're eating right, our body thanks us by giving us more energy, feeling genuinely better (i.e. I used to have heartburn almost EVERY day - now on Paleo: never), etc.…
-
Thanks! Yeah, I felt TERRIBLE. Since I had a few items (albeit low in quantity) that are not a part of my standard Paleo diet, I cannot truly identify exactly WHAT caused the issues, but nevertheless, I will be continuing to avoid those things!!

Here's a good article from Paleo Plan: http://www.paleoplan.com/2012/08-14/are-green-beans-and-snow-peas-paleo/ Initially my thoughts were: "If I can eat it in it's fresh, raw form - why wouldn't I be able to eat it?" I do see pros and cons for both schools of thought on this - same with potatoes. Personally, I try and…
