Do you have "eat like a dinosaur" ? Its great! Their blog is also awesome: http://paleoparents.com/eat-like-a-dinosaur/ Also I love The Paleo Mom! She has a whole section on Kids: http://www.thepaleomom.com/paleo-for-kids

If you or someone you know has a Costco card you can get coconut oil for pretty cheap and a large quantity! :) I also get canned salmon there! http://thepaleomama.com/2013/02/shoppingpaleoatcostco/

Check out this post by The Paleo Mom (I love her! She is a scientist!) Is Sugar Paleo? "The answer is yes and no. Let’s start with the sugars and sweeteners that I dislike. I am opposed to non-sugar sweeteners (both artificial and natural) for two reasons: 1) some of these sweeteners cause gut irritation; and 2) these…

SO jealous! I cannot have onions or garlic anymore on top of the usual AIP items and avoid chard/kale due to FODMAP for my IBS. I feel great now though so I can't complain too much.

I follow AIP :) My diary is pretty boring -- I have Fibromyalgia and my symptoms have become so mcuh better after following! :)

I am on the AIP (autoimmune protocol) and I follow a similar diet. Morning = sweet potato topped with bacon, lunch = turkey burger with 2-4 cups of veggies, dinner = meat + 2-4 cups of veggies. I was having issues with not eating enough carbs so I started the sweet potato in the morning. I will make fresh fruit juice in…

Cook low sodium bacon, microwave sweet potato on potato setting, put a little butter and top with bacon...boom. Thats my breakfast every morning :) Im allergic, but just microwave and put garlic powder, cinnamon and a little butter is also tasty!

Double post. /blush

IT IS AMAZING!! Its not a grain or anything so it wouldn't induce cravings. You can easily use it for a cheese substitute. I have made cheese sauce with it or a "pasta" sauce. I was vegan for nearly 10 years before health problems led me to paleo, I used it all the time. I put it on veggies too. It is amazing! Kind of a…

THIS! When I started Paleo, I disregarded the scale and/or counting calories. For nearly 3 months I wasn't paying attention and then I started to notice the weight my boyfriend has lost and then how thin my face was! Across the board, you have to kick your sugar cravings and if you try to do that while sticking to a strict…

Pork shoulder is usually very inexpensive, I throw into the crock pot and viola! I have a couple variations, I usually brown with coconut oil beforehand although I have put frozen ones in as well. I regularly shop the discount section where meat is 50% off...Ill get a pork shoulder that was 6$ for $3...and it will last me…

Part of it is Paleo and I think you nailed the other part pretty well. I can't even have garlic...so I pretty much eat the same couple things, I used to love cooking but yeah. I cannot go out to eat anymore because A. I feel ridiculous asking what spices they use B. Sometimes they lie/not knowledgeable and I end up sick.…

1. Coffee 2. Bacon 3. green beans 4. strawberries 5. avocado 6. pork shoulder 7. organic grass fed ground beef 8. Pork Chops 9. pineapple 10. spinach

Same here. That link on the OP is helpful I'm going to try to follow that recipe, I heard browning the bones helps beforehand.

If it was AIP friendly I would! Currently I cannot walk into a store and buy any broths...thats right not a single one. They all have onion and/or garlic. Making a true/healthy bone broth is also pretty complicated but I would 100% be willing to mail order some if it was healthy and AIP friendly. I am currently supposed ot…

I use very limited quantities of coconut oil. I am allergic to Olive Oil...I honestly usually have a routine...cook bacon in morning and leave pan on stove and then cook the rest of my food in it. PaleoMom considers coconut oil a "gray area" from her website: "Whole coconut products (coconut butter, coconut cream…

Just eat it raw? Haven't tried that! I will have to :D

That sounds wonderful but I can't have garlic, paprika, or onion :( I would eat those for days otherwise!!! lol

I am soy free, I just eat whole foods because like you said its in everything. I know with kids it can be hard, but my friend makes homemade fruit leather for her kid and there are a lot of other soy free recipes. Check out Wellness Mama its a great resource: http://wellnessmama.com/

Try a couple vegan blogs....I learned how to use kale from being vegan for 9 years! My favorite way is to take kale, put some salt, pepper, olive oil and lemon on it and then MASSAGE with your hands...yes massage. You will be surprised how soft it becomes. Also my morning ritual is bacon, so I make bacon for breakfast for…

When I was lifting I was doing the Stronglifts 5x5 program. He has a host of youtube videos -- this one is specifically for squatting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnV7vEi7Sz8 There also is a Group for Women who do the Strong Lift program and the people on there are SUPER knowledgeable. Check it out :)

I love strawberry water! I would pour 1/2 of a sparkling water bottle into my mason jar, fill with cut strawberries and let sit over night. Sparkly and strawberry! Ill still add it to my plain water and I love lemon slices in there too!

From PaleoMom: "It sometimes feels as though the longer we avoid gluten, the more sick we feel after accidentally eating some. This is in large part because the body stops protecting itself from gluten (for example, there may be less mucus in the gut) so when we do consume some, we are defenseless. It may also be because…

I'm not sure anyone has pointed this out. But did you look at the sodium on that salad? 960mg with the salad and the low fat Italian dressing. THAT IS INSANE, 40% of the salad is salt. It sounds like this is a one in awhile situation but I would just say be careful and be aware of how much salt you are putting in. That can…

I have a polar its great and I love it! :)

You are more than welcome to add me, my diary is quite boring as I follow the Paleo Autoimmune Protocol but I have some good resources if you have questions etc. I have been Paleo for nearly 4 months now.

Tell them to pick up this book; http://www.amazon.com/Thrive-Nutrition-Optimal-Performance-Sports/dp/0738212547/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1371336872&sr=8-2&keywords=vegan+athlete There are alot of vegan/veg athletes (even pro-football players) B12 is easy to get if you eat big leafy greens (kale/Chard etc) I would try to go…

I need to find the podcast I listened to when I first started. It basically said just eat until you have your "paleo dialed in" I can not say this enough with people who are just starting and hungry or etc. DONT record, just eat this isnt a diet or something that you do to loose weight and then you go back to your old…

This! I spent about 2 months just getting used to the diet, now I forget to eat! O_O I'm actually on this website to track my food lol

I wouldn't worry about weight, muscle weighs more than fat I would imagine you are more toned now than before. The only real way is to measure yourself with a measuring tape you'll loose more inches than pounds with Paleo. Also, someone else said it but working out that much is super stressful for your body, it wont be…
