No, I don't weigh my food. I just go off general portion sizes... Like 3-4 ounces of chicken is about the size of a deck of cards, etc. I just type in what workout I do and it tells me what calories I burn, I don't usually eat back my exercise calories.

This made me laugh :laugh: it also looks delicious.

This was helpful. Thank you :)

You sound like me. I struggle really bad with sugar as well. Thanks for your post. It helped a lot. I would probably be a lot like you in the fact that I would allow myself to go off track occasionally for a party or what not, and not be strictly "Paleo" but apply a lot of it's eating principles to my lifestyle.

This is the only reason I've been thinking of trying it... Because the recipes I've tried are delicious, and I feel like I get more nutrition from those recipes than from my regular meals. I also think it may fit well in my lifestyle.

I agree with the no need for extremes (like have you heard of people who dip cottonballs in orange juice and eat them? Gross.) but I actually like some of the recipes I've tried for the Paleo diet, and was just wondering if I'd actually like the whole diet itself. Which would be the point of me only trying it for a month.…

Well, I had heard about it (mostly good things, honestly) but I didn't really know any details about what "eating paleo" entails. I knew they didn't do wheat or dairy, but I didn't know about the legumes (which I've learned on this thread) I'm also just looking for people's personal experiences/opinions on the Paleo diet.…

Weird. Well, I know this calorie counting and exercising I've been doing works... So Paleo is definitely not the only way.

Wheat would definitely be the hardest part of going paleo in my opinion.

Thanks for your response :) Yeah, I don't drink milk anyway (I actually have almond milk in the fridge) so I figured it might be remotely easy to cut out the rest of the dairy and I've been trying some paleo recipes lately that I really like but I could see how it would be hard to eat out.

SW - 238 CW - 230 GW - 150 (subject to change according to how I feel) I don't have any pictures yet, but I've lost 4inches total all over. Its not much, but Im hoping to post soon once the changes reflect in my photos. For now I've just set up a rewards system for about every 10lbs. For example, I'm almost out of the…

Thank you!

my general rule is AT LEAST 3 miles, or 30 minutes, AT LEAST 3-5 days a week.

Well, you were definitely right about the private messages... :ohwell: Just to clear some things up, one of my friends started selling it, and I was just looking to see if the product really actually made any sense. The fact that stood out to me the most was this one... That's what I thought. Herbalife makes you reliant on…

Not getting more is really the hardest thing. Ugh. Thanks for sharing your experience :)

Thanks! I'll check it out.

Sounds like me. I have a terrible problem with bingeing on sugar whenever I stop and then start back up again. Thanks!

Haha, thanks. And just to specify, I'm all for natural sugars... I just want to cut out the bad ones.

Thanks everyone for the replies, the things that are being said make me feel better. I guess I'm really just expecting results to come way too fast. I'm just so sick of this extra weight but it took years for me to get this way, and it will at least take a few months if not longer to get the weight off.

Thanks :)
