Hemp seed for vegetarian protein is one of my best friends!

I <3 Paleo. It changed my life.

TimTamGirl, At first, it was difficult. The simple carb cravings sucked, but after 7-10 days you stop craving. Because it is such a raw diet, the amount of fiber you get keeps you full and fruit, of course, is very satisfying. Simple grab-and-go snacks include hardboiled eggs, fruit, veggie spears, beef jerky, apples and…

High fat foods are irrelevant here. High fat is quite good for you in some cases, in fact (for example, apples with almond butter is a high fat food and it's full of nutrients and keeps you full). The goal is to eliminate high-carbohydrate foods (other than fruits). Any kind of pasta (even wheat) has gluten in it, a…

Limit grain, gluten and dairy products and you will see tremendous results. Eat lots of meat, eggs, nuts, vegetables, and fruits.

A lot of you are already asking for meal plans/ a more detailed description of the way I eat. I hope this helps! *** The main objective of this diet (which is my own modified version of something called the Paleolithic diet) is to eat like a caveman or a cavewoman would. The idea is that our bodies have not had enough time…

Thanks, all, for the kind words! I am 5'5".

Thanks for the portobello cap pizza recipe, davidwhitt! I totally LOVED it! I used Cadia's Organic Roasted Garlic Tomato Pasta Sauce, Trader Joe's nitrate-free black forest ham, fresh basil and onion chives from my herb garden, and a sprinkling of parmesan! It was FANTASTIC!

Thanks for the inspiration, Zeromilediet!

@cbarber9: thanks! @davidwhitt: I actually quit smoking 3 weeks ago, so I feel like I can do anything now! Also: your portobello pizza idea is absolutely genius and totally made my tummy growl. I just found out my favorite local pizza joint is offering gluten free crust, too =D @skinny*****: why in the world would I need a…

Food Inc. is fantastic! It motivated me to eat more organic and naturally-raised meats and dairy products (I only buy organic nonfat milk now!). I couldn't find a free version of Food Inc. online though! Let me know if you can, I'd love to watch it again. This was the next best thing.

My favorite odd-end light cardio activities are hiking, skateboarding, and yoga. Plus, yoga will do WONDERS for your lifting, especially because it helps your flexibility and balance. Keep up the great work =)

Eat more protein, good fats, veggies and whole grains. Stay away from sugar and white carbs. If you're craving something sweet, eat a piece of fruit. Focusing on your fiber intake will make you less hungry throughout the day, and really helps burn off stomach fat. Also... drink more water!!! Because a lot of what we…

Avocados and nuts are fantastic fats to be eating regularly. When it comes to fats, stay away from trans and saturated fats, and eat more monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Without getting into a bunch of science, these kinds of fats have been shown in studies to regulate your body's balance between good and bad…
