http://whole9life.com/2012/08/the-whole30-program/ I highly recommend the Book "It Starts With Food". The Whole 30 plan outlines the program, it's strict paleo. No grains, no sugars or even artificial sweetener (including stevia), no legumes, no dairy. But you can eat plenty of protein, loads of veggies and healthy fats,…

Yes!! The best!

Coconut oil. And butter (or ghee, which is clarified butter). Don't use fake chemicals, go for the real stuff.

Yes, I'm one of the lucky ones to have raced w/ Jeff and his awesome wife Tana!!

I've done 9 half marathons, 2 half Ironman triathlons, and lots of inbetween races. I agree that you need to find what works for you. I found that I was really underfueling myself after talking to a tri coach. Of course, a half IM is a LOT longer than a half marathon. I've run half marathons w/ no fuel which I can do, but…

Central IL here! Born and raised in IL, never lived anywhere else. And I'm a country girl, not a Chicago girl! :bigsmile:

Half marathons are my favorite!! Or Olympic distance Triathlons!

Triathlete here!! Sprint tri in June, Olympic in July, and Half IM in August!! :) Love the tri's!! :bigsmile:

I made a chocolate coconut *muffin* today. Here are my ingredients. I sprayed a large mug w/ olive oil Pam. I mixed all of the ingredients and let it rest a couple minutes. Then put it in the microwave for 2 minutes, checked it and added about 30 more seconds. It was delicious!!! Bobs Red Mill - Organic Coconut Flour, 2…

720 days and counting. I have a wonderfully active life and log in on my Droid. It's part of my routine and part of the reason why I've lost 80# and kept it off for good. :bigsmile:

Things like this make me embarrassed to live in IL. :blushing:

These look very similar to my Grandma's recipe but a little less sugar and calories!! Thanks!

Mine's in the oven now! Smells good!

Thanks for sharing your version of the recipe and picture!! Yum!

Nice job!!! Bumping this to the top because my kids requested another batch and I have over ripe bananas! :bigsmile:

Yummy!! Thanks!!

Thank you! I have a friend that makes spiced pecans at Christmas time and they are amazing!

I think you could use another type of nut butter like soy butter instead of the peanut butter. I would just sub for the same amount, 3/4 cup.

I used one 9 x 5" pan and 2 smaller ones (I don't know the exact dimensions). It figured out to about 30 servings from what I made. (10 slices a loaf)

Awww, shucks. :drinker:

Oh, and my kids all asked for it in their lunch boxes today. I'm going to make another batch and freeze a loaf for Christmas time!

I just warm mine in the micro or you can stir fry w/ a little olive oil. I love bean sprouts! Also love spaghetti squash instead of pasta!

Amen!! :drinker:

I'm GF also so I didn't eat any this time but I will try making it GF myself! Let me know how it turns out!! I thought about using oat flour instead of whole wheat flour.

I'm AFAA certified. I went with them because the weekend workshop was only 45 min away and it is an accepted certification pretty much everywhere. :bigsmile:

My hubby and I LOVE that show!!! I'm so bummed that Direct TV is going to be cancelling FX so we won't get to watch anymore after next week!!

Yep, that's what I do as well. To make it, put the cocoa powder and stevia in a coffee mug. Pour the almond milk very slowly, stirring it well to make kind of a *paste* w/ the cocoa powder, then keep stirring and add the rest of the milk. Microwave a minute, stir, and if you really feel chocolatey, then add a Dove Dark…

I love broccoli and feta! I had a salad for lunch w/ broccoli, spinach, broccoli cole slaw, topped w/ chicken breast and feta cheese. Yum!

Instead of the cool whip, I use cottage cheese. More protein, less processed stuff. :bigsmile: Or else just try mixing the dry pudding mix into plain Greek yogurt. Yum!
