Add MORE veggies would be my first thought and I would also say add more fat. Beyond that I think it looks good.

Congratulations! I think your title has scared everyone off as they are thinking you are talking about a diet pill and not paleo :)

I did not find this bread was like naan bread..to me it reminded me more of a paratha

I made it exactly the same as the recipe.I only used 180ml of coconut milk and I added in more salt than called for as well as dried chillies and cumin. I found I got more from the recipe than called for though. I fried it in a good amount of butter/ghee and it was grease but in a good way. I will say,it made me very tired…

`it was so good! I used less coconut milk then it called for though

When did eggs become non paleo..or have I read this wrong?

The last thing I would be doing after a whole 30 is to start up again with sugar. I have completed 3 and each time I have come off,I have failed miserably and sugar is usually the downfall for me. The little things you miss are the things that got you into trouble in the first place and helped you with your weight gain.…

Sounds good but don't forget your fat...and,don't fear the fat either :) Good luck on this wonderful journey

mayo is not made with the whole egg,only the yolk..here is a recipe for you 1 large egg yolk 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon white vinegar 3/4 cup macadamia nut oil or avocado oil

Starchy veggies are allowed on whole 30..ie,sweet potatoes,squashes and many others. Here is the complete list http://whole30.com/downloads/whole30-shopping-list.pdf

It might be a good idea to check out an auto immune protocol. There are several great sites with loads of information and many people have had great success in managing flare ups/symptoms with this way of eating. http://autoimmune-paleo.com/the-paleo-autoimmune-protocol-an-elimination-diet-for-autoimmune-disease/…

I like portabella mushrooms,spinach,pancetta and a really good cheese..a nice goat cheese..oh..and lots of dried chillies. I love a proper Spanish omelette ( tortilla de patatas) as well.Really good onions and potatoes cooked in a lot of olive oil and then the eggs..and a lot of them. I have a friend from Spain and her…

Other spices I would find suspicious..it means they are hiding something from you and chances are,it's not something good :(

Btw,if I ate a kale and cabbage salad,I wouldn't be able to walk from cramps..as much as I love kale,it does not love me and the 2 together would be a double whammy effect.It's a lot of roughage.

There is something missing for sure. I am going to add in some sweet potato tomorrow and see if I can manage to workout after the fact. I am sure if I feel better,I will have my answer

Thanks for your feedback. I am going to play around with more carbs during workouts and see if it helps. I know that I will probably have to up my carbs but I don't want to do much of that until I am out of the woods where cravings are concerned.

Coffee would have been my next avenue. It could also be your body detoxing in a whole 30

Have you been eating a lot more coconut oil?How about cabbage? Most people work their way up in the coconut oil department as it can be an adjustment for your body and many/rapid trips to the toilet are very common. Also,if you have increased cabbage(especially for me),this can cause cramping,watery stools,etc. It will…

I eat keto primal/paleo. I eat berries as well but generally no other fruit. I know the keto people say to eat always under 20 grams but I think it's possibly to eat higher and some do better and can stay in a keto state under 50 grams. Dairy seems to cause me loads of problems but I never truly knew that until I did a…

My 7 year old has been sleeping with one since he was 4 and he doesn't have the same sleep if he doesn't have it.

I can't believe I forgot.. My best friend suffers with severe insomnia in the winter due to her s.a.d I did some research for her and came across a book called potatoes not prozac.. The basics,eat a potato before bed,no protein with it but butter is fine.. It completely took away the s.a.d and stopped the insomnia It might…

Funny,having kids seemed to have the opposite affect on me.I would hear if my son woke up but as he has rarely woken up since he was 10 months old,I am not worried. At the moment,I am sleeping a good solid 8 hours.I wake up with the desire to pee,but stay in bed and just wait.My day starts at 5am and I don't want to waste…

BMI is NOT an accurate measure of health.There are athletes that fall into the obese category that just happen to fall there because of the way the calculations are based.IMO-it's a big pile of B.S. If you read up more on it,you will realise we have all been lied to about so many things. There is a great explanation about…

I have been keto/paleo before and have recently gone back. I find it's the only thing that helps with my uncontrollable sugar urges/addiction Once they are firmly under control,I will increase my carbs :)

I am taking d and k as well as magnesium..I am quite sure my potassium is too low from what I have been feeling in my body. I will look into supplementing I guess..le sigh..gets to be so bloody expensive..

One aspect about the whole 30 is not logging calories..it is meant to teach you how to listen to your body and eat according to your needs. Rice paper and preprepared foods are a no go on a whole 30 as well. Here is a list of the rules. http://whole30.com/whole30-program-rules/ I think from there you will have a better…

The first thing I notice is your calories..they are too low,way too low...there is no need for eating 1200 calories a day as it can have a negative effect on your ability to lose in the long run. Look into calculating your tdee and then reduce calories from there.There is no need to starve. It might be an idea to try doing…

One of the reasons fat is so high is to curb appetite.Not everyone eats super high fat but usually a base line of 50% from calories is what I believe people on the lower end of fat would eat. I eat a very high fat and very low carb version of primal with a need to be in ketosis to control my sugar cravings. As an…

I just looked at your diary and I'm not sure where all this fat is that you think you are consuming,to me it looks like your fat is very low. Also,your calories are very low for someone who is breastfeeding and even for someone who is not. I would think maybe something is not agreeing with you but not sure what by looking…
