also i have really low HDL issues .. i wonder if all this healthy fat will bring up the HDL or make my LDL worse?

that is a great suggestion! thank you .. i tend to push myself too quickly. I was up to 75# on squats yesterday. but you are right about form. when you say start at 45 then would that be all sets warm up and 5 sets with that just to practice? i also know i am not ready to try a 45" overhead press just yet- thanks !

so my total cals for the day don't really count with this ? i feel like i need to keep counting. usually i take the skin off chicken,but i guess that would be a good serving of fat? so much to learn! thanks for your help.

love it! thank you! will give it a try.. i already have the trader joe's coconut flour!

thank you ! this is great info to have .. i can definatly work to keep my carbs in the "sweet spot" range of 100 to 150! yay what a great goal to have! what about the fat grams with that amount of carbs? thanks.

my food changed a bit over the past year some of it was around having rotator cuff surgery, i would log as sometime to feel consistant in my world- and still do as having chronic illness takes a toll.. also i have noticed when i am "feeling better" i can eat alot better, but when my energy is so low .. i tend to have to…

thank you homesweeths.. i am going to try the "mold free" coffee as i love coffee by i seem to have some allergic reactions to it .. will be interesting to see if there is any difference. I don't have the bullet proof diet book, i can never seem to get very far with books :( but i was just curious about the principles.…

I dont have normal energy patterns either.. i like that way of putting it instead of "chronic fatigue" or . also i have thyroid issues. I have gotten 2 days of the 5x5 in.. very light the first day workout A and then a bit harder on workout B because i went to the gym. I have to be careful with shoulders.. had rotator cuff…

how do you make your coconut pancakes? i wasnt sure if coconut flours were ok, i have heard different things. thanks!

also I am 35 pounds overweight.

she did give me reciepe for bone broths i have to find a place to get the organic bones. i have been loggin my cals in MFP for over a year and i average around 1800 to 2200 and haven't lost any weight

I just have started Paleo two days ago and had a really bad G.I. issues but I've probably taken more nuts and I should've. I'm not sure what your food plan is but I found this link. maybe to be helpful for you. and I'm glad that you're able to have a day without any issues yay.…

definitely puts me over my daily calorie intake . The odd thing is when I went to her I told her I wanted to lose weight , yet calls got increased. at this point I found out my body cannot tolerate that many nuts and oils . I've been up since 3 o'clock this morning with trips to the bathroom. I guess my body is not very…

yes that is a big help! I may have to knock back somethings- but it may be a process for me.. or i had another question. where does the coconut and almond flours fall in? do you mind if i ask how much fat you are trying to get in a day? I have so much to learn. i am on day 2. i couldn't eat as much today as i did yesterday…

thanks for the great feedback everyone! I thought that sounded like a like.. the other oils she suggested are the healthy ones, olive, coconut, ghee, organic butter, avacado oil, almond, hazelnut, walnut, pecan, macadamia oil. also i am to not have any grains or dairy (i guess the butter is ok) sugar or alcohol for 2…

by carbs is that meaning veggies? i wish there were a seperate way to track veggies (carbs) from fruit and starch (carbs)

thank you fuzzipeg. i am learning what the dr's say is "normal" sometimes isn't normal. and what works for some may not work for all. I changed thyroid meds in oct and a month later had horrible diaherra, and although my labs didnt look much different that previous i still had the bad D just the same.. i mean horrible and…

thank you crabada!

these are great suggestions about exercise.. i needed this! i have the same cycle i do and then i crash.. i am having labs drawn this week. i bet ft3 is low...in a major crash now.. and saw an acupnturist he told me not to exericse much at all but i "NEED" to exercise if that makes sense?

thank you! so it is kinda like paleo then?

in cooking the turkey burger on the george foreman grill and it says on the package 15grams of fat..anyone know what the fat macros would be on the george foreman since so much cooks off? thank you

this is a great topic.. i am trying to figure it all out too.. i need to lose 20 to 30lbs and am wanting to do the paleo but not sure how that effects my macros? and when you all mention carbs on here i guess it is carbs from veggies and fruits? or ? thanks good luck for us all!

I didn't know about that.. what about exercise are more carbs added for that? i am not sure how all this works.. so if i have my carbs set for 20grams a day and then subtract the 40grams of fiber? i think i am missing something ??

thank you! i am not sure i can do that low of carbs.. i need to work in alot of veggies i guess! thanks for the help!
