Love it!! :laugh:

I've been gluten free for 4 months now, but instead of using GF replacements, I just don't use pasta and bread anymore. I feel amazing. So, sorry I can't really help with those types of questions, but I do encourage you to try it without using GF stuff. You need to be careful about the other stuff they may be pumping in…

Thank you for this Dragon!! My goal is 90% and I try not to beat myself up over "mistakes". Great philosophy!

I haven't attempted organ meat yet, but this sounds good and easy!

It all sounds good. A veggie platter with a paleo dip? Lettuce rolls with fillings (instead of the finger sandwich thing)? I've seen some yummy paleo truffle recipes that I'm dying to try - made with dates and rolled in crushed nuts. I recently made rosemary crackers with almond flour and ate them with goat cheese. I was…

Bumping for ideas! Thanks!

I had a free consultation with a trainer and told her that my goals are to do pullups and pushups. For pullups she said the best thing to do for progression is to use a resistance band for assisted pullups. I'm not sure how it would work for you at home, but in the gym at work, I loop the thick band around the top of the…

^^^^This! I'm not allergic, but appear to be "sensitive" as indicated by bloaty and rumbly and the other stuff the OP mentions after I eat something with gluten. I don't typically react unless I have a lot (a little seems to be okay). I absolutely feel much better going without. To determine if it might be gluten or…

Interesting!! Thanks for sharing.

Love/hate relationship because it hurts so good!! :wink: Lots of good videos on YouTube. I typically use mine after a strenuous workout, or sometimes just in the evening after work when my body feels tight and knotted. Enjoy!

I also started Paleo when my GI doc wanted me to try gluten-free for 4 weeks to see if it would help my digestive issues. I didn't test positive for Celiac, but he suspected sensitivity since nothing else was helping. I agree with Akima - this is not a diet for weight loss, it's for health. Anyway, I'm 49, 5'5" and started…

Before trying paleo, I took a course of antibiotics to see if my issues were due to some sort of infection and also Probiotics for 3 months - neither thing helped at all. Dr. had me do lactose-free for one week - he said that one is quick to correct itself. When nothing changed there, next step was gluten-free. He told me…

You'll be surprised that once you stop shopping the middle aisles of the grocery store you'll actually save money. I would say just buy the best quality you can. I know I should be buying grass-fed beef, but it's outrageously priced so I don't. I usually look at the sale flyers and decide on my meat purchases that way. (my…

I'm going on 3 months paleo and hubby still hasn't come around. I don't crave his junk food, but I will make paleo treats occasionally so when he sits down with his giant bowl of ice cream I can have something too. I have a little something on my side, though, a real health issue. It helps since he doesn't think of this as…

Frozen fruit and vegetables are sometimes better than fresh since they are flash frozen at the peak of ripeness. I always have things like blueberries and broccoli in my freezer for when I run out of fresh. Frozen blueberries are great in yogurt...just zap the fruit for a minute in the microwave and then stir in the…

Welcome! I'm about 2 months into my switch from SAD to Paleo and love to eat and look forward to it now. The first week or two, I craved bread and cereal, so I learned to make Paleo alternatives. After that brief period, I didn't have to substitute at all anymore - I don't even miss it. Love bacon and eggs for breakfast!…

Well, I'm a female, 5'5", 130 and when I wear my HRM I'm getting about 270 for 30 mins.

Great post! Thank you! Need to save for later to check out all the links. It's not easy, but it can be simple!

In for the ideas...not much to add, sorry. I used it for coconut shrimp last week and it was yummy...dip the shrimp in egg, then coconut flour, egg again then coconut flakes...fry up in coconut oil... very good!

Yes, I am a science experiment!!
-
Oh my!! Sounds amazing!

I did strict paleo diet for 4 weeks and all my digestive problems are gone...I'm now adding in a little fruit and a little dairy with no issues. I've had a few cheat meals with grains (pizza, enchiladas) and felt a little off, but not where I was before. I had a follow up with my gastro doc today...described the diet I…

I seem to have flexibility issues which makes it difficult for me to push up with my heels. I read somewhere (hopefully it was good advice since it does work for me!) to put something under your heels to elevate slightly. I use 2.5# plates. This has really helped me get lower and use my heels and glutes. Maybe it would…
-
Thank you all for the advice. I'm getting plenty of water - avg. 80 oz. per day. I took a look at my diary for the last few weeks and sodium is all over the board - some days very low and others a bit over, so I am probably averaging less than I should. I aim for 15% carbs (usually between 60-80 per day), but rarely ever…

Bumping for new ideas for my routine! Thanks for posting!

Bump! Great ideas!

Thank you for recommending this site!! I downloaded the app and spent an hour last night drooling over recipes!! :flowerforyou:

Love this thread - thanks Shannon! I've just started giving this a whirl, just using coffee, butter and coconut oil. I just throw it in a blender bottle and shake until frothy. I want to try eggs too, but do you think that will work in a blender bottle, or should a blender/immersion blender be used? Thanks for all the…

Wine! Vodka or Tequila with lemonade, or seltzer and lime juice.

I suppose if you ate only healthy, nourishing foods and listened to your body (eat when hungry, stop when almost full) you could go into maintenance without logging. That's a behavior you need to learn though. I like to log so I can see exactly what I'm putting in my body. I'm pretty much at maintenance, but want to…
