great idea, I'll give it a try. My favorite "go to" meals are: Spaghetti squash with ground beef and Rao's Marinara sauce big salad with lots of verious veggies to keep it interesting: spinach, cuke, tomato, romaine for crunch, avocado with grilled chicken or a burger on top ... I make my own dressing with olive oil &…

For the love of god, please don't ADD MSG to your food!! it is poison!! the protocol for makign mice fat in a lab study is to feed it MSG. It should be illegal. It is hard enough to avoid it in your food since food manufacturers hide in under many other names... Please, please, please don't add it!

lol, yes as it is word for word, I guess i did. :-)

yum, I will try this!

^ this!

while I think its fun to regail the awful stories, but might i implore you to read up on the law of attraction... you may want to follow this up by a thread asking: what was the best wedding and why.... otherwise by focusong all this attention on what you don't want, I think you are just asking for unpleasant stuff to…

All of these I experienced when I previously lost 128lbs... right now I am looking forward to experience them again: * Feeling my hip bones for the first time and, just for a second, wonderin g what that hard bump is * Being light enough for my husband to pick me up ( and amazing feelign that I miss!) * Being able to sit…

I also got started juicign becasue of the hungry for change movie. I like the veg juice and love how it makes me feel, but it is time consuming and expensive so I dont do it every day.

lol this, hersheys is just a step above palmer :sick: I prefer actualy chocolate in my chocolate! My new favorite is THEO brand, 85% - its super smooth and had a slightly fruity finish! YUM!! https://www.theochocolate.com/taxonomy/term/72

Ok, thank you!

I second the Kale chips! they are absolutely addictive!

I made asparagus wrapped in bacon for Mother's day and it was a HUGE hit! the only thing I did differently was I had like 6 spears per slice of bacon to make the asparagus go farther - so I had enough for everyone. I used organic nitrate free bacon.…

salivating - that sounds SO good!

SO I don't use store bought Mayo because fo teh soybean oil... I also avoid soy, especially GMO, at a almost all costs... but one thing has been keepign from making my own mayo... the fear of raw eggs! I know this is mostly an american think, but salmenila is no joke! ... do others worry about this as welll, am I beign…

you can add me if you want, I BF my 19 month old and we are cosleeping as well. I eat very clean, if you eat a lot of junk, I am not the best match...

It lasts 12 months in a deep freese and 9 months in a regular freezer. tthe lactation onsultant I used said unless it smells/tastes bad don't throw it away.

HI, I haven't had time to read this whole thread so I appoligise if I am repeating other posts ... definitely KEEP PUMPING! You pump if you want to have milk at that time of day when you are with your baby so for example if you usually BF at 10am, you need to pump at 10am when you are not with baby if you want to have milk…

this is great! thank you for taking the time to share this!

Respectfully - No... the yoke is not bad! Eat the eggs and the YOKE! it is where all the nuticician is! I agree with Alisha - good quality diatery fats (eggs, avocados, olives, nuts, etc...) don't make you fat! Too many overall calories and simple carbs do!

I love, love super dark, dark chocolate... my newest LOVE is THEO brand chocolate... I love their 85% bar and limit myself to 1/2 -1 oz per day.... I particularly like it because it tastes great and doesnt have soy lethecin (sp?) in it.. avoiding soy these days

Thank you for sharing your story, I started close to where you did: 294.5lbs in Jan '13 ... I have lost 34lbs, but still have a long way to go. I am so impressed that you didn't give up and keep getting healthier and healthier! You and others on MFP inspire me and help me believe I can do it too! So thank you and hopefully…

Hi ladies, Glad to see so many preg ladies sticking with paleo/primal for pregnancy... I am not pregnant (yet) I have a 19mo and would like to get preg in the next several months. If its ok, I'd like to add you and hear how your pregnancies are going eatign this way. Best, Christie

you may want to search teh archives too, I am recalling a similar thread a few weeks ago... another suggestion was to cut an avocado in half and crack an egg in to the middle and bake until the egg is cooked to your liking... I remember thinking I wanted to try it, but I haven't gotten around to it.

Well, not breakfast specifically, but This weekend I made pulled pork for the first time and it was super easy! I got a 9-10 pork shoulder and doubled the spice rub, I also added a couple of tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. Yesterday I had it over sauteed swisschard for breakfast and I was happy and full for 5-6 hrs…

You may not care, but those products have splenda in it. I choose to avoid artificial sweeteners like the plague.

Spaghetti squash, browned ground beef & Rao's tomato sauce - mix it all together and enjoy!! I usually add some wilted spinach or serve over green beans. SUPER YUMMY!!

Honestly you just have to choose something else. I love fruit too (although 6 apples would give me a stomach ache!), but I've started monitering my total sugars and try not to let them go above 40grams... I've been reaching for fats adn proteins and it has helped a great deal ... try almonds or meat & veggies, avacodos,…

This is exactly what I was going to say. Mine is only 19 months - so not the same situation... she'd never had a chance to eat junk and get to like it. She eat what ever I give her, she may not eat it the first, second or third time, but i gently offer and say ok when she refuses, give her something else and and then just…

I don't touch it (or any artificial sweetener), I regard them as poison! you are far better to have a little of a natural sweetner like raw honey or maple syrup.

I haven't limited fruit persap and I've been doing fairly well. I just finished the whole30 (actually i'm on day 45) - and I have had at least one piece of fruit almost every day - sometimes 2. I do try to watch my over all sugars from all foods like sweet potatoes. I try to keep my total sugars under 30 grams although…
