I know a lot of people who follow the Paleo diet and they recommend reading 'It Starts With Food' and then starting with the Whole 30... so you can see the way foods affect your body. Good luck!

Also, there are free fireworks at Navy Pier every Wednesday and Saturday night at 930 pm

I found my link for free museum days and here is what it says about the children's museum @ navy pier: Chicago Children's Museum Always free: Free for everyone from 5-8 p.m. every Thursday, and the first Sunday of every month for kids 15 and under. Always free to children under 1. I found this too: Family Fun Fest at…

Navy Pier will be fun for your daughter. They have a a children's museum there (certain days are free, check the website), build a bear workshop, the big ferris wheel, boat rides, carousel. Eat at the Billy Goat or Harry Carry's for Chicago eats. Lincoln Park Zoo is a real nice zoo to walk through and is free. You can take…

I lost about 16 pounds and 13 inches from it. Now that I have joined MFP and see what the calories of it were and what I am eating now, I could have easily done it without the expensive shake mix with who knows what in the ingredients.

What a story! You look like a new woman. Congratulations on your engagement! Much luck for continued success :smile:

Vinegar + worchestshire sauce is another good marinade that will also tenderize meat. If you're in a pinch.. pounding it with a tenderizer helps too.

Brining - 1 tbsp salt to every 1 cup of water until the meat is totally submerged. Cover and refrigerate. Small cuts of meat only need about an hour, but big roasts do better to brine overnight.

working, but it's slow all I really have is putting together some itineraries and filing. I have a meeting in 2 hours, that's enough work for today.

larabars fruit almonds pieces of turkey

Wow you look fab!!

I posted about this last week. People recommended I eliminate sugar and carbs from that meal and it might eliminate that hunger. I try to wait as long as I can to eat in the morning because it's like it triggers my hunger for the day. Once I start eating, I usually have to have something every 3ish hours.

larabar, grapes & coffee

Mmmmmm beer. Summer Shady is great in the summer time! I am a Coors Light girl most of the time. This summer I won't be drinking any beer though and sticking with wine, apple cider or nor-cal margaritas!

Just started eating paleo and found this recipe + 1 tsp of cocoa powder for banana chocolate pancakes!

Eat real food, not boxed meals. Eat more veggies.

If you are using the calories that MFP gave you, you are supposed to eat back those calories. Eat healthy fats like avocado, use olive oil, duck fat, or coconut oil to cook to add up your calories...

Chicken burgers, hotdogs, sweet potato fries and salad

I just went to the doc yesterday with what I thought was a lactose intolerance and it turned out to be GERD.. probably from dairy and grains, so my doc recommended going paleo. I am starting today too and still researching. paleOMG.com and a girlworthsaving.com have good recipes I have found so far. Markdailyapple.com is…

Great video, Samantha! I hope that you get selected!

This is Paleo. Google paleo recipes. I am starting to eat paleo as well, as a recommendation from my doctor to help with health issues, and doing lots of research. Feel free to add me if you are looking for support!

I would try swapping out white grains for whole wheat ones, using ground turkey instead of ground beef. Buy in bulk if you can.. it should be cheaper. We usually buy 20 lb bag of boneless skinless chicken breast, 3 lb bag of tilapia and 5 lbs of ground turkey from Sams Club for around $60. this lasts about a month. Huge…

My son is nearly 2 and getting to be picky. He will eat anything covered in pasta sauce, so I make a veggie sauce (shred carrots, zuchinni, peppers) in with a garden veggie premade sauce and put it on almost everything. Grilled cheese and mac n cheese are great place to hide shredded veggies too. Or turning veggies into…

Eggs make me really sick too! I am just getting started with this, but been researching recipes for ideas. Today I had turkey sausage and honeydew melon, but was hungry shortly after, so I had a little leftover carnitas from dinner a few nights ago. paleOMG is a really good site for recipes. I found one for 'kitchen sink…

We went to Playa del Carmen at the end of May for our honeymoon 4 years ago and didn't have any rain. I find Mexico rain to be similar to Florida - it lasts about 15 minutes and then it's sunny again.

Hi everyone! I was just diagnosed with GERD and my doctor recommends I go paleo. I am very overwhelmed and looking for some paleo friends for support, guidance and meal ideas! I would love to be added, thanks!
