I have this for breakfast most weekdays - just one regular 250ml cup of coffee with 40grams butter. I add cocoa powder to mine also. I get hungry at around 11 and have a few almonds before my lunch break at 12pm It would never carry me through until dinner. Ghee instead of butter? Ghee is made from butter - it is clarified…

I had a wee stumble off the wagon and I have definitely noticed the difference - I am back into eating primal but it has been like a four day hangover lol - not that BAD but I feel noticeably more tired and grumpy and the cravings came back. Lucky I have been in the zone before and know how good it feels. I just feel so…

I have found I have not had heartburn at all while eating primal until I eat non primal foods that I never ever used to suspect - so nice to be free of it!

Here's today's packed lunch - chicken and bacon salad with cashew and basil pesto, and a side of an orange :-)

Ooh yummy! Looks so good! Here's some more recent eats from our place: Pork patties and poached eggs on salad with sauteed asparagus and sesame seeds Leftover pork patties for brekky the morning after, wrapped in bacon Bacon, poached eggs and creamy mushrooms for brekky this morning

I had a burning sensation in my throat after having one type of 85% dark chocolate - was quite strange and unfamiliar... and unpleasant!! So changed brands! It was the Lindt brand...

I am the same as you have just borrowed Primal Blueprint & CookBook from library - cannot wait to read them both!

Feel free to add me - I also don't track every day but 3+ days a week I do.

Here's some of my recent meals...

Today's lunch is a garden salad with lemon juice as dressing and pork breakfast sausages. Hitting the spot as I post this!

And today's... spinach and bacons salad with some blue vein cheese. There is actually heaps of bacon in here but it's hiding underneath!

OK So here is a lunch from last week, will share today's packed lunch soon.

Up until I cut grains out of my diet I used to feel the same - hungry all the time - starving even. I now eat mainly vegetables, protein and fats and I feel so much more stable in terms of satisfaction after eating and hunger levels.

Wow that looks yum! I pack a lunch every day I would love to join in here - how do you post pictures?

I haven't actually tried these as I always have breakfast at home but I have seen many great ideas for on the go breakfasts. My faves are mini fritata in a muffin pan, and bacon and eggs in the muffin pan - you line the pan with bacon, add the egg and some herbs and have bacon and eggs to go.

Oh yea - thats the other thing - you have to rest the meat after cooking for 1/4 - 1/2 the time it was cooked for. This allows all of the juices to 'settle'

What higher end cuts do you buy? I am quite fussy with steak but you can't go past a good eye fillet. Tender every time. The other high end cuts don't do it for me. I like cutting through steak like it's butter!

I just wanted to pop back in and say I have ditched the scale - there is no longer a scale at home and I weighed while visiting someone last week and have completely lost the initial gain and another 2kgs (4.4lbs) from my start weight in just over a week :-) I really do feel better not worrying about the weight and just…

I cannot remember where I found this recipe now but it is AMAZING - these taste like rich dark chocolate... but really... Paleo Choc Truffles 1C Pecan Nuts 1C Dates 1/2C Almond Butter 1-2TBSP Cocoa (depending on your preference Using a blender, blend half a cup of pecans until they are a fine-medium crumb and set aside.…

wow that is an awesome weight loss in one month - way to go

Thanks I think I will ditch the scale and if how I feel is any indication then I'm winning :-)

Hi There I am on my second day as Paleo - so far so good!! Would also love to connect with other Paleo/Primal peeps

Hi there - I'm on day one! I will add you and also looking for paleo/primal buddies :-)

Thanks! So far so good :-) we are lucky in nz all of our meat is grass fed so no worries there. I found my first shop very expensive but there were a lot of one off purchases. So far I am doing so well - I feel great :-) hope don't end up with that carb flu tomorrow!!

I'm from New Zealand where it is supposed to be summer but it is wet and cold!! 10c here in Dunedin at the moment = 50f!

The only problem that eating can solve is hunger

Thanks for shariung that article. When it comes to weight loss I am a perfectionist. If I so much as have 1 'bad' - nee unhealthy food then I will just quit for the day or week. I am really working on this and the ideas in the article are fab!

This is something I definitly struggle with on a daily basis. I have really only identified the problem recently as well as I have been in denial so long. But I am so glad to talk about it now. I have ok days but no good days as every day there is always something. There are certain foods that I just can't keep in the…

I find this very hard too. I have exercise dvd's but the kids go all funny when I do therm (they are 1 & 2) and my 2 year old will tell me to stop it or want to be picked up. I am trying to start the habit of doing these early in the morning - but I haven't yet - work in progress. I do however take the kids to the park -…
