I know that when come off from a whole 30 and go on a mad binge,it takes time to recover from it. http://littlefig.wordpress.com/2012/06/25/anti-inflammatory-turmeric-tea/ Here is a tea recipe that may help you..it's not only for it's anti-inflammatory properties and can be used for when you are feeling unwell. Hope it…

As Shannon said,preserver,it's totally worth it in the end and you will feel great once the detox is over. I have done 2 whole 30's(the last one lasted for 6 weeks).I felt amazing.

I don't drink anymore,it's been close to 1.5 years now.If only I could commit the next 1.5 years to no sugar,then I think I would see the changes I am looking for..one day at a time..or is that booze :)

Completely normal and it can sometimes take up to 2 weeks to stop that feeling.It depends on what your diet was like prior to doing the whole 30. Just went in to look at your diary and your calories seem really low as well. One of the things about the whole 30 is to not log your food,listen to your body and it's actual…

The only time I experience this is when it's around my t.o.m…it sounds like your body needed it or you wouldn't have been feeling that way. Go with the flow!

I think it was interesting to hear it from Mr low fat,whole grain nutcase but I would doubt it will change anything for most people especially considering how he kept on and on about how CONTROVERSIAL it was! I was unaware about the link between dementia and carbs..thanks for that

thanks,just the kick in the *kitten* I needed this morning!

here is a fb conversation about why they DO say you are supposed to eat in the morning. I will have to scour the book again on kindle to come up with the part in the book but as you can see from this fb chat,the whole 30 team is discussing this as part of the program https://www.facebook.com/Whole30/posts/240200422723550

The other thing is no paleo treats or paleofying things to make them acceptable. Not eating paleo muffins,pancakes,etc..no no 3 meals to be eaten every day and pre-work out snacks Eating within 30 minutes of waking,this is for hormone stabilisation. http://www.whole9life.com/2013/08/the-whole30-program/ (this is the best…

I function better in ketosis when I am dealing with cravings..sugar is my nemesis and I am able to slay the dragon when I am in this state. I find the opposite of booya,I find I have more success in my workouts and have an overall happy feeling,on top of the world,badass! It does take time to get into this state and you…

Not sure if you run as well as lift but I have found the only way I can exercise works for me is to not run the day after lifting.I can run 3 days in a row but no running after a lifting day because I don't have the energy. I run fasted and I lift fasted. I generally have 60 fat/25-30 protein and 5-10 carbs. I was very…

@redheadmommy I have a child who faints with pain,I was shocked to see such a low pain threshold,he either faints or vomits when pain happens. the last time we were at the dr the receptionist gave him a bandage that had lidocaine on it,he was able to get the needle with NO issue because he couldn't feel it. psychologically…

Thanks for the feedback!

Dragonwolf,I would love to know what length of time you have been consistent with paleo/primal(without cheats). I feel a million times better but I rarely lose eating this way. I am losing loads of inches from lifting and running but the weight stays the same. I believe the reason I am not losing "weight" is because every…

you should work out your tdee,there are many calculators online. from there most people deduct 20% from that figure. looking at your weight,1500 calories is very low. I use my trainer for fitness advice and don't really do the nutrition side as they want me to eat low fat..that would make me miserable and I would be hungry…

no recipe but I would love to hear about the water kefir as I have the grains in my cupboard and haven't got around to doing them yet

might not be a bad idea to adjust your settings on mfp as they are still reading high carb,low fat,etc. and as for the headaches/back aches etc..this is VERY common and called carb flu but it will pass eventually..some people feel it for 2 weeks or more and for some it's less. it will get easier though and you will feel…

Wow!Shocking and sad.Hopefully they don't push it through.

Personally,I react to dairy. I never realised I had any issues with it until I did a whole 30. Aside from the build up of mucus that's almost instant from dairy,it has a serious effect on my t.o.m I get acne as well as become very hormonal.I don't get it at all if I have no dairy. I would say if you can find raw cheeses…

I know,right?

Another thing to look at is the Auto Immune Protocol There are some fantastic sites out there that will help to lead you through the process. Here are a couple of them http://autoimmunepaleo.wordpress.com http://www.thepaleomom.com

I bake with coconut flour a lot as my child is gluten free and he can't take nut based things to school. These were HIGHLY successful and tonight he told me they were the best ones ever made Very,very easy recipe http://ditchthewheat.com/double-chocolate-chip-coconut-flour-cookies/ If you do interest,I have loads of…

I have never had any issue with acne,however,I started to notice around that time of the month when I was eating dairy,I was getting acne around my mouth. Did a whole 30 and not only was there no acne there was also NO PMS at all!None leading up to that time of the month. These last 2 weeks I have had dairy and along with…

With things like acid reflux,I saw improvement within the first 2 days of a whole 30. Everything else in about 6-7 days and it just keeps getting better. The thing is how you continue on when you finish. Reverting back to old ways will just bring the same problems back and for me,they come back worse. As for joint pains,I…

I am starting my 3rd one today.Here's to a great one!

this! not only are they cheap,they are so good for you. as for canned fish,as long as it's not in canola oil or vegetable oil,contains sugar,msg or "spices"they are a fine source of protein. If you buy things in bulk from a farm or buy an entire chicken as opposed to parts,it works out cheaper in the long run

Hope they deliver to you..it's a great company and the wraps rock!

there is a great company in Toronto that sells coconut aminos and all the other stuff you mentioned. It's raw food based,but the products are incredible. $100 and it's free delivery. upayanaturals.com I buy raw nuts,every coconut product available (they even do the amazing coconut meat wraps).

Monsanto alone stands to lose the most revenue from people eating paleo. (I once described my diet as simply the "anti Monsanto diet"- you can eat anything you want, so long as Monsanto derived NO revenue anywhere along the chain). [/quote] BRILLIANT!!!!

I have been wearing minimalist shoes for the past 1.5 years so I am not only used to stiff and rigid footwear. I live in an area in Canada called "the rock"so avoiding rocky areas is not possible..it's literally everywhere.As well as living somewhere that is rural and has little to no sidewalks. I ended up with the plantar…
