Yes losing weight cured mine. It'll be a year this month since I've used my APAP machine.

Yes they are Paleo and Whole 30 approved.

I've bought a couple packages last year. They're ok as imo, they do have too much of a coconut flavor but they do hold well. My problem is the company: Julian Bakery. Their response to online ordering is atrocious. It took 6 weeks to receive the order despite numerous emails. I won't buy them anymore due to cost and…

Although not completely related but low blood sugars aka hypoglycemia can cause anger, irritability, and aggressiveness without the person realizing something is wrong. I know this because I am diabetic. However, you don't have to be diabetic to suffer from hypoglycemia attacks. And in the same way, high blood sugars aka…

Your blood sugar wouldn't spike anyways as comparable to someone who is diabetic or has insulin resistance.

Hello and welcome. Curious, What do you eat? How many carbs per day? Types and amount of insulin used daily?

For the first 5 months, I lost 25 pounds eating only Paleo with no calorie tracking. Then I added exercise and lost 15 more pounds over 2 months. A1C tests are used primarily for those who are diabetic (either Type 1 or Type 2). I'm Type 1 and switched to Paleo in order to use less insulin. After 3 months on Paleo, my A1C…

I've thought about trying intermittent fasting sometime this year. I've been Paleo for 18 months to treat my type 1 diabetes. My blood sugars are almost normal and I've reached my ideal weight. But I have some fat left over in my stomach due to insulin injections that I can't get rid of no matter how hard I try. So I may…

I love the book, Into the Wild. Informative yet sad and tragic. Currently reading: the Art of Raising a Puppy by the Monks of New Skete.

Fat Head sounds interesting. I disliked the Perfect Human Diet. It was boring and got too much into evolution and I don't believe in it or Paleolithic ancestors.

I've considered primal pit paste for about 6 months and have thought about making my own shampoo but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Well first off, welcome to the Paleo lifestyle :) Yes you can use coconut flour but it tends to be more dense than almond flour. As a result, say if you were baking, you'd need more eggs than with almond flour because the coconut flour will soak up the liquid. Most times if you substitute one for one, then the recipe may…

Didn't know part 2 came right after. Once that commercial hit, I closed the page, guess I'm used to that. I've never given Dr Oz much thought; never watched a show or read anything by him. I hear a lot about him but disregard it. He's in my Oprah category: ignore.

My dad has dementia and diabetes. When he was diagnosed with dementia a few years ago, I did my own research on the condition and learned that there's a correlation between diabetes and Alzheimer's in that having high blood sugars (as well as low blood sugars) can damage the brain thus leading to Alzheimer's and dementia…

Howdy. I recently joined this group. Here's my reason: I had reconstructive foot surgery back in July. It was 3 more operations over the course of 7 days. This was due to a work accident where both of my feet were crushed by a 5000 lb generator. I've had 14 operations to my left foot and now a total off 22 to my right. The…

I tend to do heavy massage over the area for a couple days and it shrinks to where I can't feel it anymore.

Hello. I'm curious, what are you eating? Has your food dairy changed in the past week or so? How much of what you're eating are the higher carb foods such as wheat, grains, and simple sugars?

Actually there was no food whichI already knew about the carb content. That's because I'm diabetic. But knowing and doing something about it were two different things. I stopped eating the high carb foods in August of last year because I was tired of diabetes controlling me. I only found out there was a name for this type…

First off, welcome to DDP Yoga! I swear by it :) Gluten, from everything I've read is bad. It can cause inflammation and mess with your digestive system. As for diabetics such as myself, it's high in carbs as well as high on the glycemic index scale meaning it can seriously spike blood sugars making you feel groggy. I…

Interesting that you had surgery and haven't lost weight. I recently had foot surgery along with a long stay in the hospital and I've lost another 14 pounds. In total since Paleo of August of last year, I've 57 pounds but that last 14 is unintentional due to the surgery.

Yes, if it has sugar, it would make it non-Paleo. However as you peruse there various Paleo recipes, the authors will use non-Paleo seasonings and/or sauces. For example, some recipes will call for worcestershire sauce or regular soy sauce, sriracha, etc. There are alternatives but not always. I would suggest to read the…

Kitsap Peninsula ... Bremerton as well :)

Ahem, movie recommendation: The Gamers: Dorkness Rising

Sorry to read about problems with your legs and your car accident. I was going to suggest DDP Yoga but it is $99 for the combo DVD set. I have bad feet due to a work accident and DDP Yoga has helped me prepare for another foot operation I need in the next 2 weeks. DDP Yoga is primarily low-impact which combines a few…

I really don't have a favorite Paleo meal but I tend to make cauliflower rice a lot to complement a meal. That's due to the Asian in me where it used to always be rice to complement a meal. Another favorite is a white sweet potato. They're less sweet than the orange ones.

I'm curious, what's the difference between 100% Paleo and the Whole 30? I've completed the Whole 30 and viewed it as 100% Paleo.

I've had so much success from eating Paleo that I'll remain on it for life that I don't see why there's more Type 1 diabetics who adopt the food plan. See, I don't refer to it as a diet. A diet means "temporary" :-) I try to keep my carb intake at about 100 grams a day. The 30 units of fast-acting insulin covers it fine.…

No, not at first. For the first few months, I was in the 80's to 110s. When I joined MFP in February, I began exercising to prepare for a foot operation I need. So with the exercises, my blood sugars have dropped lower now. As a result, I continually deal with hypoglycemia. Most times, I don't even take my morning fast…

I'm a type 1 diabetic and have been eating Paleo for about a year. I've had a great deal of success with a Paleo food plan. My A1C was at 7.5 and has dropped to 6.1 while on Paleo. I used to take 150 units of fast acting insulin a day but now I take 20 to 30 units. My long lasting went from 70 units to 35 units. Please…
