If you are doing this for Auto Immune reasons,there are more things to be eliminated. Eggs and nuts and also soy are part of that. It's amazing to me in the research I have been doing,how many vegetarians have ended up with an auto immune disease(myself included). I am currently doing the Auto Immune Protocol of the Whole…

Snacking is not really part of the plan with primal/paleo. I never do as I feel satisfied from my meals. Eat more fat with your meals and chances you will feel less hungry between meals

Fat bombs!There are loads of recipes out there. If you eat dairy I make ones that are cream cheese,nut butter(I use almond/cashew blend and I make my own),cinnamon,coconut butter and coconut oil. Having them in the fridge as a snack of fat is the best thing for me.If you are not eating dairy..drop the cream cheese.…

Here is the timeline of what to expect on the whole 30 http://whole9life.com/2012/06/the-whole30-timeline/ Almost finished my 30 days and it's been a breeze(more or less)

Fat,Fat and more FAT! If you are going crazy on the weekends,it's because you are having cravings and that usually comes from too high carbs(over 100,for me over 50)as well as eating too low fat and potentially,too low calories. Lots of people suggest eating when you are hungry and stopping when you are full. It takes a…

Leaky gut here and following A.I.P with whole 30. Thanks for the information..funny,I have serious issues with chicken as well. Hope your 4-6 weeks go well.I am planning on at east a year to get past this. Are you taking any supplements as well?

the problem is those stupid main boards...man,I can't stand going there because they PISS ME OFF SO MUCH!!!!! There is no reason to ever go there as nobody listens and everyone wants to argue or make fun of people and their lifestyle choices..grrrr...I read the first page and stopped,no sense in allowing idiots to ruin the…

I have been off and on with ketogenic paleo and feel the best when I eat like this. I am currently doing the whole 30 on Auto Immune Protocol. I eat as many veg as I want(no tracking)and also eat sweet potatoes and butternut squash and I am still in ketosis. I plan to eat this way for a long time.I know when I increased my…

I have made this several times and it's fantastic..easy to make and a perfect pot luck dish http://paleoonabudget.com/2012/08/20/sweet-potato-chili/

Hi, I am in NL and find it SUPER difficult to get things in the province and I often order things online. I use a really good website for nuts,olives,coconut products and other stuff like that upayanaturals.com If you buy $100 plus it's free shipping.They have really great raw nuts and their coconut products are the best I…

Lovely post! Congratulations!!!!!I am on wk 5 day 3 as well but having an injury rest at the moment but hoping to be back at it this weekend. Keep up the amazing work!!!

you looked amazing before and after!I was shocked to see you are 48..you look a lot younger!!! Congratulations..love your wedding dress and cake btw!

here is a great article on what to expect day to day of your whole 30 http://whole9life.com/2012/06/the-whole30-timeline/

Soreness is completely normal after lifting. I started lifting about 3 months ago and for the first 2 months I was sore ALL the time after each workout and sometimes this would last for up to 5 days at a time. I would still lift twice a week but my trainer would have me do other muscle groups each time. As long as it's…

A lot of people figure out their tdee and take 20% off of that number. It's possible to customise your MFP once you get that number. Another thing to think about if you are planning to jump in to this lifestyle,look into doing a whole 30. It's the best way to start and I'm sure lots of people would agree. Check out there…

here is the conversion chart http://www.darynjett.com/2013/05/coconut-flour-conversion-chart.html

I had no issue playing the video just now.

I am at the end of week 5 and unless there is an injury,don't bother repeating. It's supposed to be a challenge.As you challenge your body,you will be able to take it farther each week. I have done the program before.The best advice is good foot wear and run slow..as slow as you can and you will get through it.It's not a…

at the half way point today and for those of you who are asking what it is start here http://whole9life.com/start/

you are young and have 5lbs to lose..no reason to eat below 1200 calories..try lifting weights and you will be toned in no time

Week 5,Day 2..was a hard run today but got through it in the end and happy to have done so.I am not looking forward to the next run of 20 mins but know it's possible!

AMAZING!!!!!Love Yarmouth btw..from NS as well and miss it lots!

I very rarely snack and try to eat enough during my meals that I don't feel I need to snack. I eat a high fat,low carb diet as well and usually run fasted and if doing weight training at home,I am usually fasted for this as well. I think your digestion does need a break,fasting works for me but not for everyone

I love the challenge of running and the sense of accomplishment. I did a leg of the Belfast marathon 3 years ago and it was such a wonderful experience. I feel I do better at shorter distances and this time around I will be focusing just on that. I am on week 5 of c25k and the other morning I was out at 515am,it was cold…

hardy har har!

just a note on almond meal/almond flour here is one quote and there are others floating around on Mark Sisson's site as well as Chris Kresser To some this won’t be new. There’s been a growing understanding recently that abusing nuts probably isn’t wise. Now, they do come with great micro-nutrition and are likely beneficial…

feel free to have a look at my pinterest boards..I have a lot of recipes http://pinterest.com/pumpkinpie06/boards/ these are my boards and they are labelled gluten free,paleo/primal etc..as I am a chef,I have lots of non paleo/primal recipes so just double check recipes form other boards

that's a pretty little picture! I can't say anything has changed my life but I do love cauliflower pizza and I use this recipe http://www.groovyfoody.com/2012/05/19/whole-foods-recipe-day-the-best-gluten-free-pizza-crust-ever/

Videos like this were the reason I was a vegetarian for 20+ years. I stopped watching at the half way point..not pleasant

Day 12 of Auto Immune Protocol and it's all going very well.This is my 2nd whole 30 but the first time doing AIP..I had a hard first week of being tired but now feel in fantastic mode. Digestion seems to be back to normal and fitness is improving..sleeping really well(although this is never an issue)and realised that it's…
