I cook mine and once i have the threads out I top it with a good flavorful Italian olive oil , crushed garlic and red pepper flakes.

I like it but the store brands have too many additives to it for me and end up giving me a stomach ache. I make my own and it actually tastes better.

Can't do soy and it's actually protein I'm after :) I do eat nuts sometimes but the protein value in a serving of nuts (about 1/4 cup/20 or so nuts) is not really enough for me (about 6g of protein). I can do 140c of greek yogurt and get more than double the protein. So I ended up having too many afternoon meetings…

I went vegetarian a number of years ago and found I had to rely heavily on wheat, grains, dairy, legumes and soy. I hate soy so I actually used a lot Quorn products, but yes, they are highly processed. I would think most vegetarian products are highly processed. I eventually added fish back in because my iron was so low.…

I have no allergies - just sensitivities that cause bloating, gas, fatigue and irritability. Dairy, soy, beans, refined sugar (I use stevia, honey, coconut sugar and maple syrup), gluten, grains.

Thanks for all your responses. :) The issues I have with dairy is bloating, fatigue, gassiness - so it's not really bad. The cheeses that had I had accidentally ingested, after I quit, were along the lines of american, cheddar, swiss, mozzarella - and 'diner' quality so I am sure they were not well-aged. I think I may try…

It's really hard for me to because our office kitchen is stocked full of candy, chips, cookies, cereal, soda - any unhealthy snack you can imagine. I try to keep snacks in my desk but all that crap in the kitchen calls out to me. And it doesn't help that I have to actually BUY snacks for desk and everything in the kitchen…

The last few months I haven't really found the time. I can't remember the last time I worked out! I leave the house by 7:30, get 3 kids to two different schools and am in the office by 9am and don't get home til after 7pm. Then I want to spend time with my kids before they go to bed. After they are in bed, I usually eat…

Dating was a struggle after my ex and I separated because my self-esteem was in the toilet. I was 41 yrs old with a 2yr old and a 4yr old and my ex had been having an affair for 2 yrs with a Thai massage girl. We had been married for 10 years and together for 12. Also, my ex had left us financially in a huge hole and my…

These are really great. I haven't made them in awhile because I've been so busy at work but I need to make again soon - I;ve been craving them! I like to eat them with a squeeze of lime.

2 hard-boiled eggs w/Cholula and an iced green tea.

Air popped popcorn. Wellshire Turkey Snack Stix Skinny Crisps Lara Bars Apples

Sauteed spinach and a scrambled egg.

Thanks for this. My cravings are killer and I tend to go towards popcorn or gluten free cereal (like Chex). Although sometimes I carve a certain meal (like a favorite chicken sandwich) and I just end up giving in.

Everything dairy has been the one thing I have managed to stay clear of the last 6 months.

I've never read no bacon in any Paleo literature. You do have to be careful about the types of meat you eat on Paleo - grass-fed, no nitrates, humanely raised, no antibiotics, etc. Most people are often just too lazy to pursue nitrate free bacon and humanly raised meats. There is also the option of curing your own bacon if…

I usually make a pot of some kind of stew or chili on Sundays to eat throughout the week when time is tight. Here is my standby Turkey Chili... 2 lb. lean ground turkey (I don't do beans, but if you do - I can beans, 1 lb meat) 1 med. yellow onion 2 cloves chopped garlic 3 sliced carrots ( I actually use a bag of baby…

I don't do OA but I do belong to another 12 step program and I find it really beneficial - like free therapy :) Plus, the fellowship and support is amazing. I've been in a 12 step program for about a year and half now and it pretty much has saved my life.

I immediately gained 2 lbs when I started Paleo. It took me a few months to find the right balance and now I have lost about 5 lbs. Paleo isn't a weight loss solution, it's a healthier lifestyle. If you are going to do it - try the first 30 days full on Paleo - no wine, no peanut butter and definitely no soy.

Macadamia nut crusted chicken is delish! I also use pork rinds to 'bread' things.

Turkey Chili? 2 lb. lean ground turkey (you can switch out 1 lbs. of meat for a can of kidney beans if you like) 1 med. yellow onion 2 cloves chopped garlic 3 sliced carrots ( I actually use a bag of baby carrots but it all depends on if you really like carrots that much) 1 small bag/box of frozen corn 1-28 oz. can crushed…

I wat there at least 2x a week - salad with only lettuce, steak, salsa and guacamole.

This is an excellent explanation. For me, it also made me so much more aware of foods I am sensitive too. Dairy and gluten are the big ones for me. I never went back to dairy but occasionally I have some gluten and within a few hours I realize why I gave it up in the first place. Overall (even with slip-ups) I feel so much…

I used to make a meat crust quiche that was quite savory. 1 lb. ground sausage - press the sausage into a pie plate like a crust. Make sure you go up the side of pie plate and make it thin because it's going to shrink up when it's cooked. Bake it at 375 for about 20 minutes. Whisk 7 eggs and add in whatever veggies you…

The first thing that stung when I read your post was that your afraid your husband would lose respect fro you. Read the article below, written by a husband, a father - a real man. http://themattwalshblog.com/2013/10/09/youre-a-stay-at-home-mom-what-do-you-do-all-day/

My boyfriend and I started eating paleo in May and we really like it. I though the hardest part would be rice, beans and cheese but those were actually the easiest. There have been a couple of times when cheese, other dairy, beans or grain has snuck it's way into my food (like eating out) and I really regret it later -…

Blow.

Is it that you aren't hungry or you just detest breakfast foods? If you aren't hungry - don't eat. If you detest breakfast foods - eat something else. I rarely eat anything til around 10am - I'm just not hungry before then and at that time, it's usually a piece of fruit.

Weigh in Dates: 10/1: 113.3 10/6: 113 10/13: 10/20: 10/27: End of Month: Had a terrible eating week last week :(

My favorite 'Just for today' quote from a popular 12 step program... Just for today, I will try to live through this day only, and not tackle my whole life problem at once. I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I felt that I had to keep it up for a lifetime.
