Same as above. Salads with tuna or chicken and olive oil. I totally depend on frozen veggies too. I'll grab a cup or two of brocolli or green beans and a leftover piece of meat - maybe I've precooked some chicken breast or hamburgers. It's so much about prepping!

I did the one day a week fast for quite some time. It was such a relief to only have to think about food once that day! I actually can't remember why I stopped. I think as I got "better" at being paleo/primal, I was only eating 3 meals a day anyway and was basically fasting everyday between about 6 PM and 8 AM. It didn't…

I would just put it on lettuce...I'd also sub mashed avocado for the mayo.

^ Oh yeah, at work I get accused of "gloating" and trying to be superior. All I'm trying to do is tell people how much better I feel and that gluten-free, lower carb might help them too. I'm not nearly as strict as you are, so I do occasionally participate in the food-related celebrations. Then I practically get taunted…

More fat might help. Try adding in some coconut oil if you don't already use it. I used probiotics for a while, but they didn't help me.

I don't have any answers to your questions, I just wanted to welcome you. This is a great group who is willing to help you with anything. I'm glad that you are interested in improving your health and not just weight loss. The weight loss happens, but there are so many benefits to eating real food. I am trying to stay at…

Stronglifts 5x5. I agree gets boring quick, but you'll also see quick results. It might be a good one to get you back into the swing of things. And given the commitment you want to make it fits in well. Three days a week and then maybe 2 HIIT cardio sessions? I do sprints on treadmill.

That awful carrageenan! I sometimes use Half and Half. Still commercially processed/pasteurized but says the only ingredients are milk and cream. Maybe that's how they hide the nasty stuff in that too? Maybe they don't have to identify what's in the milk and cream? Oh boy..now I'm getting paranoid! :smile: I personally…

She's my new hero too!! I only saw her on Youtube after the fact and now wish the season wasn't almost over. Totally rooting for her in the Finals! I'm sure this will become my favorite tv show! Go Kacy!

You've come to the right place Rosey! Check out the success stories if you ever need inspiration. It sounds like you are doing awesome and already feeling the effects of a good diet. Keep up the great work!

You've come to the right place! I think you should fill out your profile though. I know I like to know a little something about my friends. Feel free to add me, if you think we might click. Welcome!

Welcome Newbies! :smile: This is by far the best group on MFP. Lots of support and no question is too "silly" to be asked and answered. I belong to a few other groups, but this is the board I read the most when I have a few minutes. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/788-women-strength-training This is another good…

Congrats! I couln't agree more. I eat so much food now and really feel sorry for my non-paleo friends

In for the review! I've been meaining to buy one for quite some time, but I also don't have much space. Thanks.

That's fantastic!!

I agree with you about the factory farming. I think animals should have the best life possible, but we are also animals and I believe we are meant to be omnivores. It's a personal choice and I wouldn't criticize anyone else's lifestyle. And contrary to some media reports, paleo doesn't mean eat "all the meat". I think you…

A trainer told me that the amount of forward lean you have is dependent upon your flexibility. She told me it was more important to keep a strong core and focus on the muscles I'm trying to work. She recommended a slightly wider stance and when you do the movement focus on trying to "push" out with your inner thighs. Also…

Yep! I often only do KB and just walk my dog (which I would do with or without the KB workouts and is not what I would really call exercise, except the hills, maybe! LOL). Most times, I throw in one sprint session, but I don't think I really need it. I don't do any "long" cardio anymore. 3 - 30 min. KB workouts and maybe a…

Sounds like you have a pretty solid plan. I would agree that atkins is better than pizza to a certain extent, but like another poster said bacon and eggs is pretty quick. Also, take advantage of leftovers. Freeze anything that you can, then you have a stockpile of emergency meals (or just lunches for work!). I've been…

Update - I seem to be doing a bit better. Still not doing any overhead moves on the left and no one-arm swings. When possible, I've been using 15# on the left and 25# on the right (except the alternating clean move, using 25 for both). I'm going to give this a few weeks more, then experiment with the overhead moves. Thanks…

Looks good (minus the cheese). I agree with the other posters - add some olive oil to your salad and coconut oil to your BP coffee...a few more veggies. I'm working toward keto - experimenting with my meal combos to see what the carbs are looking like. Good luck!

Most people would say to avoid replacing sweets with Paleo treats. I think if you can do it without inducing cravings, then there's nothing wrong with a treat once in a while. I've actually made treats to bring to the office when I know we're celebrating a birthday and want to be social. While others eat cake and brownies,…

bump - in for the responses - I've only just started researching/trying this out. Thanks!

Such awesomeness! Keep up the good work! Thanks for sharing.

Well, we've been somewhat validated by the TIME article!! I haven't actually read it yet, but I've read some paleo blogs. WIN!!
-
Thanks for the tips! I always have issues on my right side between shoulder blade and spine - when I have massages and when I use my foam roller I try to get it worked out. Could be some sort of compensation deal that it's my left shoulder that's injured.
-
Sorry Spice! Yes, the routines definitely include the overhead moves - snatches, presses, windmills. I took a look at a youtube vid for snatch form and I think I need to tweak that a bit. I don't think I was doing it quite right. Unfortunately, I don't seem to have much luck finding KB instruction - there are a few…

I use Sarah Lurie's Iron Core Dvd. I've been using kettlebells for about two years off and on. I think I hurt my shoulder doing something else. I remember thinking I slept on it funny or something. I have been using 25# for about three months. I dropped back to 15 for my workout yesterday. I think I'll continue and just…

Sorry - bacon and onions is the only way I've ever had liver. Hopefully you can find something different to do with it.
