Hi Carrie- Have you tried any of the recipes from PaleOMG? She has alot of great recipes that you can make ahead & pack for lunches, quick snacks, etc. I always make her 5 Ingredient Pizza Spaghetti Pie, then cut it into portions, freeze & have a quick dinner when needed,even tastes good cold.

I track everything I eat/drink, most things I cook are either recipes from Paleo sites or if not listed I input all the ingredients into Spark People which has a recipe calculator- it's a bit tedious but I'm trying to be as accurate as possible in my calories,etc.

I try to be as close to 100% Paleo as much as possible, but more like 95% of the time, like to have an occasional diet coke, drink regular coffee that's not organic though- buy as much organic produce, grow what I can, raise my own chickens for eggs only and have our own grass fed beef, pretty much lactose intolerant ,once…

Yes- I agree with you kikih64- great attitude/suggestions, I try to follow that idea of only buying natural/organic products. It started to really concern me after reading & seeing how factory farms were producing meat.

Congrats! That is awesome!

This was a great article- Thank you Dragonwolf ! It makes perfect sense to me now since my experience with Paleo over the last 5 months has been somewhat confusing & disappointing at times(no weight loss the 1st few months) until I figured out I was replacing all my previous bad eating habits with Paleo approved…

Hi there- I did the Dr Oz 2 week Rapid weight loss plan and it worked for me, lost about 3 lbs on it since I had hit a plateau. I am also on a Paleo diet which eliminates alot of the foods that contribute to weight gain. You have alot of options as far as meal planning- but have to decide what type of diet you need to be…

I use this recipe from Ultimate Paleo Guide 2 eggs(whole eggs) 2 cups light olive oil or walnut oil 2 Tbs apple cider vinegar 1 tsp mustard 1 tsp sea salt 1/3 tsp cayenne pepper I've used my immersion blender as well as my food processor, turns out great either way.

There is a group - Primal/Paleo Group with over 5000 members you guys should all join, knowledgeable people can help with questions and tips on being successful on Paleo. I've been for about 4 1/2 months, have lost about 10 lbs so far.

Hi all- just wanted to say a few things about my Paleo journey so far- I began in February this year after a lifetime of yo-yo dieting and trying everything that was out there from Nutri system to Jenny Craig to dozens of other diets. 10 yrs ago I went on Atkins & had good results losing about 25 pounds, along with steady…

I like to make a simple Spanish style eggs for breakfast- diced tomatoes & green onions sauteed in olive oil or Kerrygold butter, a couple of scrambled eggs, mix in, cover until set or scramble it up, season with s&p serve over a bit of fresh greens or brown rice, top with Sriracha or pico de gallo for a kick. This is…

Thanks! I am still learning and trying to figure out how to eat the right amount of protein, vegetables,etc. I realized that I need to track my food otherwise I will consume too many calories & not see results (weight loss) Even though I've been following Paleo for 4 months, I wasn't tracking calories, ate clean but very…

Well I believe everyones body/metabolism is different and what works for one may not work for another, genetics plays an important part also, I know from my experience and family history how my body functions. Since going on a Paleo lifestyle, I feel as if I may be able to change my predisposition to all the diseases that…

Well I think you're right about not worrying so much about the calories and instead focus on eating a clean diet, it's just hard for me to be patient about weight loss, I feel like I want it to happen much more quickly :ohwell:

Hi there- Clutchbone thanks for the welcome, & thanks Brakeman for adding me. I haven't been eating "clean" for very long- only about 4 months, so I guess my body is adjusting to the big changes. I was a big carb eater & had a sweethtooth as well so really it's been a big change from all that. I didn't lose any weight when…

If you're trying to lose weight, then you have to take calories into consideration. When I started Paleo 4 months ago, I thought the same thing, I maintained my weight because I was eating too many calories for the amount of exercise I am doing. Using MFP helps to track your calories and amount of exercise- it's helped me…

Any particular brand of curry paste that is Paleo ?

Hi there- I noticed your height & weight are close to mine, I think it depends on several factors-age, bone structure/body frame. I'm currently on a challenge to lose 20 lbs or close to that in 10 weeks. What are your goals on weight loss?

Hi everyone! I started Paleo about 4 months ago after following, researching and reading lots of discussions, about Primal/Paleo lifestyle diet. Since my new lifestyle changes of Paleo, I feel so much better and digestive issues are gone. I have been trying to lose 20 lbs for a very long time, did follow Atkins 10 yrs ago…
