I have had the absolute BEST results switching to a paleo lifestyle. If you would like more specific info, let me know, or just google it. It is really so very simple and logical. Good Luck!!

My family (son, father, stepmother...) have been giving me all kinds of similar lectures. I finally found the following website that has supported my "outrageous claims" that the human body not only doesn't NEED, but is most likely HARMED by eating the SAD. Here is a good article.…

I don't either, unless you think of it in terms of how we are expected to eat (SAD). It's true that almost every item on every menu has some type of grain/starchy carb on it, but just about anything can be modified to be paleo. Example: I went to Red Robin and had a Blue Ribbon burger (bacon cheese burger with an egg on…

I took Dun's statements to mean that she WAS restricting calories while running, but now (in a month) she has lost more weight by eating regular meals with few carbs than she did during the multiple months of calorie counting and running. Is that what you're saying Dun? And I'm guessing, since you are saying that you are…

I love eating primal/paleo, but I hate trying to explain it to people. When you say "I don't eat grains, refined sugar or processed foods" they get this LOOK... like I just told them about the secret siamese twin that I've been hiding all of these years. I find it difficult to convince people that I am NOT going to die if…

I too kind of fell into this... For years I have been in the process of eliminating foods that cause me to (literally) double over in pain, I was surprised at how many there were. Some foods were only problematic in combination with others, but fine on their own, which is what took so long to figure it all out. During the…

But there are MANY studies that show that the two together can be a disasterous combination... heck with studies, just look around America.

It's really going to have to be based on what you are going for, which plan you chose to get you there... Being in the Primal/Paleo group I don't think I've had a day in the last month and a half where more than 50% of my calories didn't come from fat... but they are good fats!! I can also tell you that my carbs haven't…

All of you wanting to be in the teens, please be careful!! Not everyone can look like the women in those pictures, in fact I happen to know that the super ripped body builder women ONLY look like that during competition time. They bloat up, just like everyone else, then they have to lose it again. Women are supposed to…

I have 2, (well, technically 3... I expanded one). Two Chinese pictograms, one for Feline on my ankle and the other is the word Beautiful on my shoulder blade surrounded by a heart growing on a small vine. I wish that the one on my ankle were smaller, but now that I've lost weight, it really isn't as bad as it was (who…

I'll get more exotic... I promise. =D

I guess I don't get it, the picture is on my computer, but I don't have a url. Oh well. It was yummy just the same.

I have a picture of food porn... How do you post pictures????

Is there some special way to join a group??? Or do you just reply to random posts as you see fit?

The magic of the dreamfields pasta is its low carb count. My father is type 1 (and type 2) diabetic and theirs is the ONLY brand of pasta he can have. Somehow they have only 5g carbs.

Not only was I an only child, I was an only grandchild on one side of my family (aunts and uncles never had kids). I only saw the other side of the family at Christmas and was dumbfounded at the constant chaos. If I had to characterize my childhood, I would sum it up by saying that I didn't have one. A lady, with whom I…

I saw that too! I had tears in my eyes. I knew what she meant, but sometimes typos are SOOOOO funny! I've had some doozies in my day too. No worries, but thanks for the laugh!!

Wow, I mustn't have learned... I did that LAST SUMMER in Colorado!! I was only out for about 15 minutes, but I was NICE and tan!!

Stevia is from a real plant, it isn't manufacuted by some nerd in a lab coat somewhere. It is somewhere around 300 times sweeter than "sugar" so you can't use much of it at all. I put maybe 15 drops (of the lemon drop flavor) in a quart of water with 1/2 a lemon's worth of juice and it tastes like SWEET lemonade! Check it…

I actually use the Sweetleaf Stevia (liquid, comes in tons of yummy flavors, and powder, no flavors) as opposed to the Truvia, but either is WAY better for you than Splenda. My dad is type 1 diabetic and I'm still trying to get him to make the switch. His problem is that since it is so new to the market (and technically…

I HAD to go get some of the Better Than Peanut Butter... it's a little salty, but YUUUUMMMY! However, I still like my Justin's Classic Almond Butter more. Thanks for the tip!!

Good job ladies!! We are all winners when it comes to losing!!

Yep, That is what I meant, I guess I just didn't explaing it well. Thanks for translating!!

Sorry, I'm kinda new here, I'll figure out how to reply to a specific reply sooner or later. =P

Well GOOD! At least if I'm crazy, I'm not alone!! =D Thanks everyone for sharing your stories!!

Ooooooh! I'm going to go get the DVD! I'll be in your club!!!

I feel your pain! My addiction extends to any kind of nut or nut butter. Especially Justin's Classic Almond Butter. I can (and have) eat 1/2 the container without even blinking. I really wish I had an addiction to someting like Celery, which also goes well with peanut butter =(. Other than not buying it, I don't know what…

I am a classic PEAR!! (as of 3/28/11) 5'2" 133lbs neck 13.5 biceps 11 waist 27 (at navel 30.5) hips (at hip bone) 34 thigh/butt zone 40 Guess we know where I need the work... =P

Honestly I get some kind of sick thrill every time I DON'T eat something dumb. When I worked in an office, they would bring in doughnuts and bagels ALLLL the time. Often I would pick out my favorite one, put it right where I could see it all day long and just be so proud of myself every time I could look away from it, or…
