Tried it, never did a thing for me. Its basically an antidepressant. So if you are not smoking because you are depressed...not gonna work.

Good point, I agree!! I locked myself in the house with no money or cards! I did have car keys, but nothing else! I made my husband, who still smokes unfortunately, leave his at work for the first week.

It depends on what you are using as qualifications as an "athlete". I know several people who started distance running late in life and can now do 50K, 50 Miles, 100 miles...but I m not sure to beat world records that one can be taught that.

I work holidays so it is a school night for me...but I really am not caring too much! :blush:

Since I had no idea what Pukka tea was I looked it up and it is like any other herbal tea that is 0 calories. It seems like it should have calories but basically its flavored water because you steeped it in herbs.

I smoked for 20 years, tried every method to quit (the vape wasn't around then). Turns out I am a pure nicotine junkie and once I set my mind to it I found what worked. I tried Chantix (it makes you physically sick when you smoke if you take enough) but had to go off because of side effects. But what I did get was a…

I tried a brief stint at WW and quit very quickly! I was starving all the time, could not stay in points and realized by double-logging there and here on MFP that it was allowing me a frighteningly low calorie range! It says that you can eat what you want but really that isn't true if you don't eat low fat high fiber. The…

I quit WW in a quickness because it was WAY too low calorie and low fat for me. When I double-logged and logged on MFP, my calories were woefully low! I was starving all the time!! They say you can eat what you want but really that isn't true. They force you to eat low fat by the system, if you don't, I was basically able…

I have a ton of ideas, I am basically a professional shopper! :wink: I shop for home and for a large group home at work. What do you need help with, I am not sure what you are asking for? If you don't have room to store it, what can I help with? One idea that already comes to mind is if storage is an issue, then is there…

I got the Flex after having a One, because the Charge and Charge HR look really big to me. I had not worn anything on my wrist in a very long time due to scar tissue from a wall scraper incident. I had to get used to having anything on me at all, let alone something large. I also do like that you can change Flex bands with…

I love my Fitbit Flex! I had a Fitbit One and I wanted something that would track my sleep without changing where I wore it (the One is a clip like a pedometer, you put it in a wristband at night.) I haven't worn anything on my wrists previously to the Flex in many years after a wall scraper incident that left me with scar…

So, what would you want to see from fellow members?

I worked today but we cook there. I had a half a portion of crustless sweet potato pie, turkey, mashed potatoes and homemade cranberry sauce. I didn't have any vegetables with dinner as it was corn. I had a salad for lunch before hand and no breakfast. Not perfectly Paleo, but not horrible either. I will be making a family…

Craving junk food Sunday night, I made chicken wings (organic), 1/4 with Simply Organic Chicken seasoning, 1/4 with homemade Emerils' Essence, Half with ghee, parmesan and garlic. All came out delicious! I had celery and homemade ranch for a side.

I have been sick, so none for most days, a Hot Toddy with rum or 2, and and a glass or of wine. Great for me!!

Not the intent I had, but a great discussion anyway!

Mondays are my biggest challenge! I am off, hubby is at work and I get just...bogged down with what I should be doing and what I want to be doing and then I have work on Tuesday looming...and then I talk on the phone to my FIL and Aunt in law, and suddenly I have drank way too much!

Yes, I want to have inspiration for when you feel like this sucks and quitting... Or cheating.

I did fairly decent for me this past week, I used to drink wine every day in varying amounts. M-4 glasses wine T-0 W-Large bottle of cider T-0 F-2 glasses wine Sa-1 glass wine Su-2 glasses wine (I work Tues.-Sat.)

I think I named this topic wrong, I was reading about some of us struggling to stick with it and made this without thinking that it could be taken a different way! I will make a new one and try to come up with a better name for it.

I generally agree, but for social situations and kids, one might make a less harmful exception. I do not promote nor subscribe to any of the Paleo-fied baking cookbooks, websites, etc. at all.

Hi all, I have been lurking for some time as I have not been really Bento-ing for a while. I want to get back to it now with a schedule change. I have questions for the folks that know Asian food...I bought Sushi Nori at the grocery store, mind you I have never even had Sushi because what I have seen has gluten and I can't…

Hi all I am new here! Great job everybody!! Tonight is really a school night for me but I really don't care it was a bad day! i am still down from what I normally would have had this week so it's progress in the right direction!

I ask myself the same thing every time!! "Moderation" people will say it is because this is not sustainable...but it has to be for me because I don't feel good on a regular diet! Junk does not agree with me, though I love it so...but really I love it for a moment before I start to feel like crap!! For me, I need extreme…

Hi I am new to the group, I have a non-traditional work schedule so I am working Tuesday-Saturday, late hours. I get out at midnight starting Saturday. I got out at 10pm tonight, and was totally aggravated so I got a hard cider (BIG bottle) and finished it. Not too bad for me...if the actual liquor store had been open it…

cleaneatingmag.com/recipes/under-45-minutes/almond-butter-chocolate-chip-cookies/ These are really good and you could probably substitute coconut palm sugar for the succanat. Even people that can eat regular flour cookies have enjoyed these. We have also used cashew butter to make them and that turned out even better I…

Just asking, why do you carb load? It's not really necessary if you become fat adapted, and if it were, you can do specific things that don't make it a habit. Have you read Paleo Diet for Athletes?

It sounds so sensible when you say it like that. i used to batch cook when i lived in Abu dhabi. I literally work 7 days a week at the moment (that's part of why work supplies my food/ cooks for me). Not only that but we dont have a mircowave - so even reheating means borrowing the kitchen (thus getting in the cooks way)…

Yes, losing the weight I have gained is important as well, but I truly feel like crap right now and I just know this is the way to go to break the cycle of crap and not caring about what I eat.

Good stats!! That's a nice loss for 21 days! I'm doing it more for health but that would be a nice side effect!
