  • Awesome! Have any of you had Carb Flu? Or bad detox symptoms? Im on Day 4. So far Iv only noticed a headache, maybe some moodiness....Im hoping not to get actual FLU symptoms! That wouldn't be good :) Im actually doing 33 days (through till the end of Feb). Im not sure what I will add back in after that. Definitely not…
  • So glad you two are also doing Whole 30! Im on Day 2. Im ok, so far except for a headache, just a mild one today. But last night it was bad. I was surprised to have a headache at the end of the first day! I made sure to have a little sweet potato this morning...and last night I had half a banana. I don't want to be too low…
  • You all are probably finishing up your Whole 30's! Congratulations! I started my first Whole 30 today :)
  • Today I had a red potato, (hadnt had potatoes or any other starch for quite a few days)..... and one red potato, about the size of medium orange, was enough to satisfy me for lunch. I was in a hurry, put it in the microwave, while I soft boiled a couple eggs. I put a little avocado oil drizzle on the ONE potato, squeezed…
  • Maybe try cutting out grains and gluten for a little while, get your carbs from a few pieces of fruit each day and see what happens....? Just a thought....Im new to eating Paleo....Im doing gluten, grain, dairy, sugar free for now...with three cheat meals a month. If your 3lb weight gain is from water weight after a cheat…
  • Some Paleos eat cheese...We are not right now. Some eat lots of bacon....we eat it occasionally if it's nitrate free organic, no hormones, whatever.....but we dont eat A LOT of bacon or fatty foods. To each his own. If it works for you good. I think maybe we can consider PALEO as a basis of clean eating and each person can…
  • I eat occasional root vegetables. No rice, no grain, no wheat, no gluten, no dairy, no sugar. I think most people have to find what works for them. If I stop losing I will cut out the potatoes. I have them very rarely anyways. I believe there are DIFFERENT views on what Paleo is.... BASICALLY Im learning to eat healthier.…
  • I started paleo. Monday will be two weeks for me. Eating lean meats (not TONS of it). Eating TONS of vegetables. Some small amounts of sweet potato or red potato scattered throughout the week (maybe twice a week). No grains, no gluten. No dairy, no sugar. All sugars are from two pieces of fruit a day, 72% dark cocoa…
  • I'd like to add, that I LOVE that I dont have to measure or count calories....If ever the scale stops moving in the right direction for a long period of time...I will then begin measuring/weighing and keeping record.

  • I first bought the NutriBlast and it worked OK for about 4 months, I had to keep replacing the blade and each blade leaked brown fluid. They never sent me the blades they said they would, I ended up spending close to 25 dollars ever other month for new blades to be sent, In the end I could have just bought the vitamix.…
  • Quinoa mixed with diced chicken breast, avocado oil, steamed spinach, raw garlic, fresh raw tomatoes, fresh squeezed lime juice and a sprinkle of Himalayan Pink sea salt. DELICIOUS! Ancient Harvest Organic Traditional - Quinoa, 1/8 cup dry Generic - Fresh Raw Garlic, 3 clove Kirkland - Himalayan Pink Sea Salt, 1/4 tsp.…
  • Finally bought the Vitamix! Been wanting one for so long! Before using the Vitamix, I had bought the NutriBlast and it died in a few months. NutriBlast never made my smoothies as SMOOTH as the Vitamix does. I love it!
  • Drink 2 tbs straight apple cider vinegar at the first sign of a sore throat, followed by a taste of honey, just to get rid of the vinegar taste. Dont eat or drink for 1/2 hour. Do this each morning and night. It works to kill a sore throat. Iv done it for years. Trick is to do it at FIRST SIGN of sore throat.

I take care of my grandmother....and it seems everyone else in the world (exaggeration) . But havent taken care of myself. Im always on the go and…
  • I think adding protein to your meals and snacks would help with the shakiness. I get some of the symptoms you mentioned and it means my blood sugar is down. I have to add protein to every meal and snack. A handful of almonds, a string cheese, hard boiled egg (just egg whites to save calories). The protein will help. for…
  • I logged in the broccoli. It was very little in calories. Im glad because I like steamed broccoli!
  • Thank you! One day down.....I did feel deprived, but, I DID IT!
  • Thank you 4Healys, for the encouragement! I will check out the website. I checked my kitchen last night for supplies and I created my daily menus for today. And I think that is what I will do for now on, is plan each evening for the next day. Because if I wait until morning, I wont do well. I get too busy and just have…
