Yup, movement is key I found out. Even though I remained fairly primal for a few years I stopped daily exercises and the weight started creeping back, I put in between 6000 and 10000 steps a day but because it isn't done in one or two sessions it hardly makes any difference in the outcome. I am focusing on just the food…

I am firing up a Whole 30 starting today, my wife is also joining me (at least in part) she put on 4 whole pounds in the last 5 years and still looks great but me about 30 in the last 3 years go figure, her's is most likely from stress.

Thanks, I know of his work and have seen some interviews. At the time he was not elaborating on the particulars of the diet, so this looks like more intensive interviews.

Where do you suggest going to find out more about this diet? I am a faster, but I have heard little about the mimicry system, I tend to go for 20 hour stretches and some times days without food just coffee, tea and water.

I am getting back into this, although I generally have remained Primal I have become more sedentary the last few years and the weight has been climbing slowly up. My main failings is corn and rice and on rare occasions wheat so it seems a Whole 30 is in order and I will be doing one starting this weekend. It is good to see…

Welcome, I am newly back

Welcome back, you can do this.

Good video, I love her being truthful about her experiences. Just goes to show one size does not fit all, we are all different and need to listen to our bodies, and also our own obsessions can collide with our own health if we do not listen.

I am dutch... I blame myself too

I think it was the Hartwigs that brought white potatoes out of the closet last year. Always with the word of caution "if you are at a healthy weight".

Welcome!

Welcome back, I tied that group once and all their food and recipes were so full of chemicals and what-not I think they are run by Monsanto!

You know if all the companies that make prepackaged garbage and the GMO producers disappeared tomorrow we would all be nearly 80/20 Paleo, and we would be making all our meals from scratch like it should be. I know there would be plenty of people still trying to get their daily donuts but most of us would just be trying to…

This really has to do with tolerance, I eat about 1.5 oz of nuts a day too but it goes up or down depending on what I garnish my food with or if I am not feeling full after a meal I'll grab some. I was eating about 3 to 5 oz a day when all the weight was coming off but I really do not seem to have any intolerance's to…

Welcome Sharon

Welcome Cassy, first off; are your kids old enough to help with meals? We homeschooled our kids and they all were part of the kitchen crew, did the chores too so my wife always had help when she needed it. They are all in their 30's now and they all cook and are competent in the kitchen. I am the only one doing full Paleo…

There are many who do this and swear by it as a way to stave off hunger in the mornings and get a start on fat intake, it is not necessary but if you enjoy tea then by all means drink it and enjoy yourself.

We have a month by month Paleo/Primal/Whole30 group here http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/102847-primal-paleo-reset-for-2015 for daily logging and checking in, if you care to join up.

That was a deliberate jab, I admit it... :)

Garden, if you have room and do not live in the arctic, community garden if that is an option, foraging if you live near open spaces, hunt, fish. I know there are farmer's markets popping up but where I live they are way over priced. You can go right to the farmers but sometimes that is a long ways off, but it can save…

Welcome Zombie, the heavier someone is, the more calories it takes to maintain regular functions, so get your good fats and learn to cook with them, hunger has never really been an issue with me unless I had too much starch that day (which can cause hunger pangs). Listen to the above posts and pick up a paleo book to…

Welcome Rebamae

Welcome Runnerduck

I snack but it is an old habit and sometimes the period between meals is too long. The more I read, the more I realize this has to change. The issue (I am reading) is every time you eat something your body will produce insulin so it is best to limit this to as few occurrences as possible during the day. This will help with…

Well Jordy deactivated their account so... :\ Welcome Mizzy

This is good news, if it happens. I will be watching for all the back peddling from so many groups out there supporting this slow suicide approach to health and eating. The blame game is a hoot to watch. The CICO group has the most to lose if you ask me; they truly do not believe in nutrition just bad math.

There is a lot of imperfect science surrounding how our body are reacting to foods and the environment when it comes to Hypothyroidism. One of the best and fairly short reads on it is on Chris Kresser's site it also has a free Ebook if you want it and lots of supporting information about cruciferous veggies and AIP, which…

Welcome Jordy, you fell into something wonderful here, it has changed my life and many others in here. All really good advice above here.

I too am hypothyroid too, and going Primal had the same effect on me. The theory is, gluten and the Thyroid hormone in our bodies are bioidentical and when gluten is removed the antibodies designed by our bodies to go after the gluten that got through our leaky guts and got into our blood steam will now start attacking our…

Pretty much any kind of salsa will work I make a green salsa with tomatillas and serrano peppers a touch of apple cider vinegar and onion salt and pepper etc.
