i followed the Paleo Diet closely for a year and it helped me quell alot of medical conditions i suffered from, and loose another 50lbs. I also felt a lil bonkers towards the end but loved what the style of eating did for me, so i've gone more towards a primal lifestyle (because it truely has become a new lifestyle, not…

its typically g of protein/lean muscle (or what weight you want to be) id personally bresk it up to 45/35/25 protein/carb/fats but in the end its what works for you as well.

omg thnks for the boost! i've been slicing avacado and rolling it up in deli meats, never thought to add a pico!! sounds so much yummier! and all the protein. omegas and fiber for barely any cals! i'd had to agree with that being amoungst my fav.snacks! and/or my bf's froyo, with greek yogurt goji berries mixed berries and…

Try calorie dense foods in the morning to help you bump up your intake in the mornings. some protein with avacado would keep you full longer and is super healthy fats for your brain, yay for being sharper earlier in the morning :D and yes you're right it will help with snacking!

from the few entries i've seen you def are making a great effort at healthier eating, and your protein choices are wonderful, but i wonder why you have such a HIGH carb intake? those carbs turn to sugars and fats in your body more often than not, i'd say try two weeks on a lower carb (100g/day) diet and see if that helps…

just wanted to throw my two cents in and say i def. agree with a few of the women on here saying that it's more about the experience and desire. Take the summer and try to get into a kitchen, even if it's jus prep and get an idea of the pace, CC will still be there, and i'm sure you cud even get more assistance with…

Hey i'm celiac and love the support i get from my grain-less ad other celiac MFP-ers.

First off props to you for doing so well, i agree with the other women on here, and just logging it regardless, sometimes seeing the numbers are motivation enough. In the end you know you are doing this for you, so give yourself a lil wiggle room and obtain your goal slowly but surely. I have those moments too, don't get…

avacado...oh boy howdy i've found so many ways to just have that half an avacado a day that i swear i could create a cookbook of avacado alone! hahaha between replacing mayo and certain cheese products with it, to just eating it stract out the husk with some salt, pepper, and lime. good fats, fiber, and vitamin/minerals…

yeah i'm with this, and than you can partially freeze some and than slice down thinly and marinate and dry out for your own all natural beef jerky! :D it's an easy way to get some on the go protein in.

not at all! paleo/primal here :-D it's done wonders for my health, i'm glad there are like-minded folks! :D

THIIIIISSSS THIS THIS THIS!!! no trans fats (cause unfortunatly all veggie oils, ESPECIALLY canola and corn oils when heated turn over to the bad fats area) no flavor and high smoke point, and it takes very little to sautee

sprinkle fiber- Fiber 35 is wonderful! i've had that same issues, i also reccommend psyllium husks if you'd rather cook it in. But the sprinkle fiber is tsteless and yo can just pop it in a glass of coffee or tea without noticing it and it'll giveyou 5g for only 20kcas! :-D

Hey fellow Paleo dieter!! i've noticed a lil almond butter with some unsweetened coco powder mixed in on some diced fruits or even in a smoothie with a bunch of frozen fruits is fun, honestly not sure hwat you dig, what meal your looking for, there is also a Paleo/Primal challenge board (search No Grain No pain) and also i…

i'm with you, it's so nice to see like minded dieters! i don't get much support with the people i live with either, so all th support i get through this is really going to be amazing! good luck, and so happy your apart of this!

first off, THIS IS AWESOME! the first weigt-loss challenge i can get behind totally because it focused towards my dietary lifestyle!! Name: Brandi Age: 24 Kids: 0 Pets: 2 cats, Malo & Apollo Married/SO: Dating my BF Michael :-D Eating Lifestyle: Paleo/Primal (i can't seem to break my occasional dairy love) Starting weight:…

hahahaha that made my day, that's awesome!!

super ecited for this, jining the webpage, but i don't use my FB to update my fitness or anything at all, so i'll do allmy logging there. looking forward to this! and this summer! :D

first of that wonderful that you and yourhubby do that, so much betterfor he enviroment!! but just weight it out into portions so you can just throw it inthe pan and enjoy until it's time to log it and you'll know exactly how many grams/ounces it is. :-D

I am and ave been living as such for over 2 years now, it's pain in the *kitten* at the start, but it gets fun if you like to experiment. My experience with the rice wraps are bad, they crack too esily, although i did hear if you steam them first they're more like the gluten ones. Just like you i think their excessivly…

it realy should be for every blood type. just imagine your tummy like an engine, watered down gas does not work as effectivly. If you drink a half hour before you eat than it'll be back to it's normal state of acidity before you eat and your body digests it properly.

THIS. except i'm O+ but actually read the book before i found out i was celiac, and than got the diagnosis so i found the book may hold more good infor for me. and came to discover the Paleo diet through practicing what the book said to for my blood type and i feel amazing!! almost all of my ailments have cleared up..i'm a…

well if it's just lasagna you're looking to freeze individually that cook it through and just freeze it, otherwise you'll be baking longer to unfreeze nd than cook through. but other casseroles this may not be true. i can't rec any casseroles that aren't calorie dense and realitivly devoid of any real nutrition, but…

oh holy co,wow thnks somuch! that's awesoooommeee!!!! :-D no more guessing! haha

frozen banana and avacado!!! peel and dice up either fruit, and freeze for a few hours, than blend in whatever you'd like and BAM healthy "ice cream" i don't even miss the sugar and dairy laden stuff anymore! it's so creamy and similar! :-D i usually put some peanut butter or nutella in it blend it again and refreeze it so…

well first off, welcome to i! it's hard to re-adjut at first. but i trust you'll find the healthan well-being you're looing for following the Paleo diet. i have been constantly impressed with it myself having livd this was for a few months now. you're def going o gt **** for it o this site but take comfort in knowing…

i know it's annoying to wait and be patient, but it's stay off and you feel good while you loose. i've lost over 100lbs, granted it's takena year, but you can do it without eating only enough calories to not pass out (and even than i wonder that you wouldnt) eating so low cal, will make you loos weight for a bit, but you…

at that caloric intake everyday, it's an eating disorder not a diet..

outside of maybe causing a bit of constipation, the protein will pass without any storage/damage. It may just mean your body metabolizes quickly, because proteins and fats take the longest to break down/keep us full longest. So it is just speeding your metabolism up if anything, just make sure you keep your carbs over 50g…
