Even before I found Paleo I used Real Food for Mother and Baby. I highly recommend it. It isn't necessarily Paleo or Primal but concurs with most of the principles and is a fascinating analysis of some wide ranging research. Also it is a good read!

Before I learned more about why I had failed before, and managed to succeed now, I was willing to work out and eat right just to lower my A1C level (diabetic blood sugar level.) Being fat but not diabetic (and therefore not guaranteeing to be a burden to my child) as long as I could get fast enough to outrun my kid if he…

I get a lot of stress relief from working out too. I like the team effort that comes with some of my work out classes, a sense of community and belonging where I work out, and even if it didn't change my looks fast food makes me very ill. You might be young enough to where fast food doesn't make you feel awful. If so,…

Me too, and we are ready for the newbies too! Thankfully our YMCA is pretty darn friendly!
-
Ditto! Try reaching out to the newbies! Offer them a hand! If they look confused as to how to turn on a piece of equipment, help or point them towards staff! See if you can make at least one new friend in January at the gym! It is boring to have all the same people at the gym, and so hard to make real friends at work, so…

I think that to be successful it helps to have a bit of both. I started off the day after I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. my A1C level went from 5.7 to 10.1. That is a massive jump and I "achieved" diabetes through a very strict regemine of considering 1 package of sweets 1 serving, not exercising at all, and lying…

Yes! This! Foam rollers are just about miraculous! Also, to be honest, as someone who has started running only two weeks earlier than you have (and someone who works at a gym at the front desk) If you are going to run, and take your workout to the next level, you also need to take your stretching to the next level. This is…

I seem to need more calories before my period to make me feel more satisfied but also more exercise before my period to hold the cramps at bay. Since I only really care about net calories not just ingested calories this has never troubled me. Do what your body says makes you happy.

Not to mention that at his age he is still growing, albeit more slowly than when he was younger. He is still growing into his body, so nutritious food is still important to finishing growing healthfully. My advice here would be to get an assessment by a nutritionist and a physical with your doctor. Find out from actual…

1. Don't freak. cholesterol isn't actually proven to be related to any disease process, despite what medical science would like to have you believe. 2. Read Cholestol Clarity by Jimmy Moore. Trust me. It has the answers you seek. Sorry you've had a fright!

I think we should make it the fashion to bring our own tupperware, cut our meal in 1/2 or into thirds and store a bunch away before starting to eat. It will eliminate toxic foam to go boxes from the landfills and make a statement. We should make this a "thing"

Seeing this made me smile because in July I packed away a ton of 26/28 sweaters in hopes that they won't fit by October, and I think I am well on my way. I am hoping for the same kind of joy you just experienced in two months!

I would love to participate too! I hope we all have a very supportive, wildly successful challenge!

Oh, also, if you have the spare cash, try adding some Green Pastures Fermented Cod Liver Oil or Cod Liver Oil/Pastured Butter mix. It is a great way to add healthy fat as well!

Check the Balanced Bites site for their dairy free chocolate mousse. It is a complete winner and has avocado in it.

Honestly, when I feel like you do I drizzle some steamed veggies with yummy oil and eat it out of the bowl with my fingers. My toddler eats a ton of veggies this way. We eat broccoli like it is popcorn, in front of the TV or hanging out on the bed. It is easier for both of us to get in more veggies when it isn't competing…

As someone who did a whole 30 and did count my calories, I can promise you that you aren't going to overeat. I would trust the process and let go, which I found extremely hard to do. If 30 days later you aren't happy with your progress you can go back to it, but I bet if you recorded everything you ate and put it in the…

1. Ground Beef 2. Broccoli 3. Spinach or Kale 4. Avocado 5. Coconut milk 6. Berries 7. Olive oil 8. Chicken 9. Onions 10. Carrots I do mostly AIP but some butter and cheese slips in there and doesn't seem to effect me. I am allergic to soy, gluten and nightshades. I am currently off nuts. I am not sure that I have to be,…

I eat mostly Paleo, and would love to have similar minded friends! My eating is a little wobbly lately, but I am getting it, I think! I woke up craving kale chips in the middle of the night and thought "Who the hell am I?"

banana and almond butter can be really quite comforting, perhaps with a peppermint tea? No need for bread, just slice the banana, put a chunk of almond butter on a plate, spoon up a little almond butter with every bite of banana. Also, check out Yogi Tea's Egyptian Licorice tea. When brewed it is very sweet, but is pure…
