  • You can do a "bland diet" consisting of some white rice and ground meat. I homecook for my dogs and they're meals are pretty much Paleo. (snacks, not so much). Hope your pooch feels better soon!
  • thanks! I liked it...was expecting something different but it was really good. I can see myself going crazy on this stuff however so probably a good idea that i only bought a sample packet :)
  • Just came across this website that has pretty good tips on make-ahead meal planning: http://robbwolf.com/2011/01/16/pre-cooking-paleo-diet-food/
  • How about a meatloaf recipe? I printed this one out b/c I'm hoping to give it a try this coming weekend: http://www.rebelspatula.com/index.php/the-book/2-uncategorised
  • I actually SKIPPED my usual dark chocolate and almond butter dessert last night! going to see if i can keep this more as a treat a few times a week rather than a regular thing that it's been. I still had some blueberries and a teeny bit of heavy cream and that was a nice finish to my evening meal. Thanks for everyone's…
  • I am getting used to not having that sweet taste of equal in my coffee. I have not had one single packet since yesterday morning and for me, that's a huge accomplishment! woohoo :) Also laid off the "no sugar added cocoa" packets...still have two more in my cupboard but i just can't toss 'em out...yet... Intention and…
  • Dinner out is always a nice treat but I find I hardly do it anymore these days. I did go to Il Fornaio on Sat night for my friend's b-day and ate fish, veggies, and mashed potatoes. I managed to say NO to the bread basket but I did indulge in a big piece of Tiramisu! Sometimes, you just gotta let loose a little :) Let us…
  • thanks monkeydharma. For me, i was referring to eating my "dessert" like 20 minutes after dinner. I'm not much of a late night snacker b/c i tend to sleep fairly early most nights. Hopefully once i wean off the artificial sweeteners, I won't be so triggered to eating/wanting sweet things as much. Fingers crossed!
  • Thanks a bunch for the encouragement! I have trouble with the self-control thing too so i think next time i will need to buy smaller blocks of chocolate! :) I enjoy sweet potatoes too...i probably eat that 3x/week myself. I only had 1 packet of Equal this am w/my coffee and no hot cocoa..yay!! hopefully will be able to…
  • Yes, I do still have sugar cravings. A lot has to do with the fact that i still use Equal, Splenda in my coffee, and drink a packet of "diet" hot cocoa almost daily. I'm definitely working on that however and have tapered off but it's still a work in progress. I just stopped drinking diet Coke though, like three days off…
  • I've been weaning myself off of diet soda for the last few days. It's day 3 of being diet soda free :) Got some plain carbonated water and lemon and lime slices instead. The recipe sounds interesting but i think the sweet fizzy-ness of it might make me want to go back to drinking the "real" stuff again. Let us know what…
  • mmm…looks great! I do love shirataki noodles myself but have never tried the kelp ones. Can you find those at Asian markets too and are they usually in the fridge section?

  • I eat veggies at every meal, pretty much. A typical week I will go through: a couple heads of cauliflower, 4-6 zucchinis, a bag of carrots, 4 bags of lettuce or spinach (the pre washed kind from TJ's). I eats red onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, asparagus pretty much everyday as well. Good thing I love veggies so much! plus, i…
  • I enjoy listening to Jason Seib and Sarah Fragoso on the Paleo Lifestyle and Fitness Podcast; also, Primal Diet-Modern Health with Beverly Meyer is great.
  • I don't use any sauce, just some salt/pepper, chopped up garlic and a tad coconut oil. For crispy veggies i prefer to roast them than stir fry. Don't stir fry for too long, otherwise you may get wilted veggies.
  • I must be just as weird then...i do love liverwurst any time of the day myself!
  • I just did a stir fry last night of ****ake mushrooms and Japanese egg plant--very quick and easy--stir fried in a little coconut oil and garlic. I also bought some snow peas and plan on stir-frying that tonight. Also got some okra which I don't think i've ever cooked before but will likely roast those in the oven.
  • I appreciate all the encouragement! :) Got through my first day and thought I did okay. Not perfect, but okay. Also, after reading more on paleo vs. primal, I think my style is going to be more primal as I still want to incorporate some dairy. The stuff I ate today that was definitely not in the plan included half a packet…
  • Thanks a lot, ClutchBone! I have heard the first couple weeks can be pretty tough. I'm definitely going to read thru all the posts here during this new food journey. I appreciate the support!
