Hi,it's Anjelina here..I have been eating paleo/primal for the last number of years but always falling back on sugar as a coping method as well as having what I consider to be a profound addiction to the stuff. I have not been diagnosed but believe leaky gut to be the culprit in my health.I took loads of…

Have you looked into SCD,from Breaking the Vicious Cycle? I am on a support group on fb and many people with the same diseases are using this protocol and it's working wonders for many of them. It is the same as paleo but works by eliminating and then reintroducing. Here is the link…

Check out my pinterest boards http://www.pinterest.com/pumpkinpie06/paleo-primal-recipes/ http://www.pinterest.com/pumpkinpie06/oh-babyprimalpaleo-badness/ Loads of really great paleo recipes and desserts

I am with you and started a 21 day meditation event. I sucked out in October but I am there for this month. Only 4 days in and I can already feel the difference.

There have been lots of reports that an increase in coconut oil and help with weight loss..be very careful when you introduce it though as if not done slowly,it will have you running to the toilet,often :wink: Also,I use it for everything from make up remover to treating skin conditions and as a moisturiser..my child can't…

Everyone has a different slant on what is acceptable,it's a personal thing. Personally,if I was trying to lose weight,I would not be eating a recipe with loads of honey and nuts..once in awhile a treat for some people is ok,for others(like me),it's not. Berries and cream can be a good stand in if you are looking for a…

I agree that calcium is highly overrated. I think the main thing needed is magnesium,d is important anyway and with d there is a strong belief that we need to be taking a vitamin k with it..it's important not to get pills that are suspended in soy oil or other vegetable oils as these are garbage. I believe the most…

Hahaha!Poor stainless steel pans :wink:

As a chef,we would season stainless steel pans in order for them not to stick.Heating the pan to a medium high heat(we would put ours in the oven in the restaurant) with a tablespoon of oil and then grinding in some kosher salt.The pan then gets cleaned out with a paper towel.They are then not meant to be washed with…

@LeenaGee I think it's quiet here as everyone is trying to figure out where the forums went. Personally,I don't bother with the main forums as I find they are generally very,very negative with the paleo community. I am happy to hear you are having success with finding some nice people though :)

I just take it one day at a time, sometimes even one meal at a time. I think, ok do I really want to have something bad to eat? I'm doing so good, don't want to ruin it now! Great point Emlyn314,sometimes it just has to be one day at a time and one meal at a time. I am at this point right now. I know how much better I feel…

+1 I rarely eat breakfast things for breakfast

If you don't like eating the morning,don't! There are many people here who eat their food in one or 2 meals per day as it works better for them. Listen to your body and don't make it do something it doesn't want to. If you head over here http://www.marksdailyapple.com/primal-blueprint-101/ it's free and will give you loads…

This is great and something we all need to do.

Eat more food!!! Eat more fat,veggies and protein..there is no reason to be eating only 1250 calories. It might be an idea to switch out your great value olive oil for a better one(great value is a known GMO)and chances are,the oil has been cut with lots of other nasty oils. Invest in some good quality coconut oil,some…

There are some truly wonderful 5-10 minute meditations and even that small amount of time can make a difference to your day. Check out this great site from Insightla..when I first started a more serious meditation practice,these were the guided meditations I was using. http://www.insightla.org/audio/ I am very happy t see…

I am a water fanatic and have been since I was a child.I find it the only thing to satisfy my thirst. If I want to add a little something to my water,I would dilute straight up juices.I find most pure fruit juices far too sweet and cutting with water is the only way to make it drinkable. Frozen pieces of fruit in water are…

I have loads pinned to a board,here is the link http://www.pinterest.com/pumpkinpie06/oh-babyprimalpaleo-badness/ I have mostly made cookies from the pinterest link and one of the best on the list is the toffee shortbread,they are amazing and super easy to make.

Ahhh,not sure how I managed to link that link..sorry!!! here is the correct link for the pizza http://www.fathead-movie.com/index.php/2013/06/30/weekend-bonus-the-older-brothers-oldest-sons-faux-carb-pizza/

As long as there is no issue with dairy,I have a great crust you can use. I have made it several times and it's totally a pizza,holds up,tastes like pizza,and it's easy breezy to make :) http://www.thecolor.com/Coloring/Ferris-Wheel.aspx Here are a few others I have saved but haven't tried yet.…

This WOE does not have to be all about the meat.It's moderate protein and it can be lower..protein also doesn't have to come in the form of meat,it can be eggs,fish,cheese,etc.

How long have you been following the AIP plan? I would think your body may still be healing and if you have been doing a lot of yo-yo dieting,your body could be clinging onto the weight,especially when you don't have much to lose..your body could also be happy where it is at 140.. If you are following AIP,why are you…

I use fish sauce a lot!When I was in Thailand a few years ago,I had one dish many times. Ground meat(tonight I used some chicken breasts,cut them small,don't have to grind the meat),thai purple basil,fresh lime juice,garlic,ginger,chillies,coconut aminos and fish sauce.I let mine marinade for at least a few hours and…

There are lots of great reasons to add fermented foods into your diet,especially if you are suffering from gut problems. Kimchi is great and there are loads of others as well. Water kefir and if you tolerate milk,dairy kefir. It''s very easy to make all of this at home.…

:)

Kefir is not made from grains,they call them grains because of how they look but there is absolutely no grains in them. Here is a quote about water kefir Water kefir grains are the traditional starter culture used to make water kefir. Water kefir grains do not contain any "grain" such as wheat, rye, etc., but rather are…

I have made paleo pancakes many times and have never had an issue with them turning out.Was the issue the way they turned out or the way they taste?I find my almond flour ones taste far better than my coconut flour ones but none of them will ever compare to real pancakes

Here is a link to 2 of my boards on pinterest,loads of ideas for you http://www.pinterest.com/pumpkinpie06/paleo-primal-recipes/ http://www.pinterest.com/pumpkinpie06/oh-babyprimalpaleo-badness/
