Always looking for more friends! I follow 80% primal (incl dairy) and 20% WAPF (properly prepared grains and legumes). My diary is open to friends and love to bounce ideas around and help track and stay sane! Feel free to add me :)

Pork shoulder. Throw it in with garlic, orange and lime halves, salt and pepper, set it for 10 hrs on low. Fabulous!!

I make tea but here's the recipe anyway. 1 Tbsp Assam or Nilgiri Tea 1 Tbsp Ghee or Grass fed Butter 1 Tbsp Coconut Oil 1/8 Cup Coconut Milk 1 Tsp Cocoa Powder Few grinds of Himalayan Salt Cardamom Pods Cloves I brew my tea with a few cardamom pods and a clove or two. Meanwhile combine all the other ingredients in a magic…

Interesting and informative responses! I will be reading New Rules from here forward and am excited to be lifting cause it makes me stronger and happier!

Just found out about this and would love to join even if I am a week late! Week # 2 --September 9th --Goal 300 minutes Mon: 65 minutes (5 min jumping jacks, 50 crunches, 50 russian twists, Michele Rogers chest, tris, delts, Kendra Kemerly Step up & Dance) Tue: Wed: Thu: Fri: Sat: Sun: Total: 65/300 Question though, do I…

The site and information on the site is absolutely free. You can, as others commenters stated, sign up for daily emails. I didn't do the emails but was very active on the forums. I kept a daily log and was active in the kombucha and recipe groups. I found A LOT of support on the site and loads of information. If it were…

My diary is wide open as well as my mind! I am primal/WAPF and slip up occasionally but no one is perfect! Anyone here is free to add me and I may just solicit friendships from all of you! The more friends the merrier when it comes to health/weight loss/support :)

LOL, I actually don't heat the water either but this is the recipe I started with until I realized I didn't have to heat it. However, I came to this conclusion only after making almond and hemp milk. i was all like, why do I heat the coconut water when I don't heat the almond or hemp water? Thanks for pointing this out, i…

This is Wellness Mama's recipe for homemade coconut milk. I buy Bob's Red Mill Flaked Unsweetened Coconut. It's in many stores and available on Amazon :) Ingredients 4 cups of water 1.5-2 cups of unsweetened shredded coconut Instructions Heat water, but don’t boil. It should be hot, but not scalding. Put coconut in blender…

I usually buy canned. I often will get Thai Kitchen even though it has Guar Gum :( I haven't found one that doesn't have something wrong with it. When I have the time I make my own, super easy and I know what's in it then.

So, not exactly an answer directly but, Whole30 guidelines are a good place to start even if they are extremely strict paleo. Here is a link to a page Whole9life has created that has great information on foods that are acceptable or not. As Akima^^ said, they are guidelines. What is firm is no: grains, legumes, dairy, soy,…

I am new to this lifestyle as well (3 months) and started the change with a succsessful Whole30. I was amazed at how satisfied I felt and had little to no desire to snack between meals. My clothes fit better and I have more energy. All this is attributed to.....drum roll please.......FAT!!!!! I love it, I have always…

When I did my Whole30 I learned that if you are not hungry enough to eat a piece of fish and a cup of vegetables then you are not hungry, it's psycological at that point. Taking that to heart, when I feel snacky or if I really think I am hungry I pop open a can of tuna, sardines, or grab a boiled egg. If I am still snacky…

What a great idea! Thanks for sharing this, sending my email in the AM and will begin collecting my recipes.

If you don't have it already, pick up a copy of Well Fed by Melissa Joulwan. It was a great inspiration to me and especially helpful with the tips for a weekly cook-up! I eat so much better when I have a lot of stuff pre-prepped and ready to go. Also Beyond Bacon really got me excited and I cooked for about a week…

You could try adding in digestive enzymes. Whole9life suggests Now Foods Digest Platinum. Whatever you get, read the ingredients because many contain wheat, soy, and sugar. My "tummy" was a mess during the first week of my Whole30 and it greatly improved when I began taking digestive enzymes. It will also take your body a…

Congratulations on starting a W30! I finished my first one in June and felt so amazing. My whole life was changed for....a minute. Then I went on vacation and everything fell apart. I am now here examining my food habits and how what I eat effects me, with a whole30 eating approach. Planning on doing another W30 in the…

againstallgrain.com has some fabulous sweets that are made without refined sugars. Look for stuff that uses maple syrup, honey, or rapadura. I have a horrible sweet tooth and a lot of the paleo/primal websites have been huge helps when trying to assuage it!

I switched to this exact recipe about 3 months ago. I love it! The only thing I changed is reducing the baking soda to 2 tablespoons after the first month of using. It was really irritating my pits (many have this problem with baking soda). Keep in mind folks, this is NOT an anti-perspirant, it is deoderant and it works…

Back for the 3rd time as well. New outlook, new goals (wish i had a new usr name), new me!! Anyone feel free to add me. I had a lot of success last year while here and the friends really helped it happen. The support is soooo necessary!

Always looking for new friends! I was hesitant at first to reach out but I can't tell you how much my friends make this journey easier. I am 34, looking to lose about 30 lbs and I love Jillian Michaels and Jackie Warner....Any one feel free to add me!!! Good luck to all

Hi! I was a member for a while and did not have any friends. I finally reached out a few months ago and gained a few wonderful friends, then again last week with another push for friends and gained a few more wonderful friends. If it weren't for my friends I would definitely not be as motivated! Feel free to add me. I am…

Dude, I think we all choose our own goals. As long as we are achieving them successfully then more power to you! We may not align with the calorie intake, but we align with having healthy bodies. I have chosen my calorie goal based on what I tend to eat and what I need to consume based on my workout behaviours.....we are…

I ordered yesterday and am DYING for it to come in.. I can't believe I have to wait a week or more! Hopefully it will be in before the beginning of March but if not, I will start the day it arrives. Will def keep track of my progress here. So, is there a group started or just keep coming back to this post? Very interested…

Ha! Beer, my best friend ;) next to wine, next to gin and tonic. Well, all that had to go out the window when I decided to lose weight, just too many calories! It was strange when I decided to stop drinking cause I didn't realize how much I would miss it. A friend cam over last night for the first time since I quit and as…

Die hard Trekkie here, oh yeah and get this.....I am training to be a linux admin. in my spare time for fun!!!!! All my friends have chosen my house when the zombie apocalypse occurs and My hubinator and I built our own LED light boards for starting seedlings. And we have a fully automated house and irrigation system for…

Congratulations!!!!!

Hi! Thank you so much for the invite! This is Liz, I am 34 yrs old. I have been with my high school sweetheart for 15 years and married for 9. We finally decided to take the plunge and get preggers after buying our first house and securing a good income to support a non-working mom and baby. We have been trying for 6…

livestrong.com has some good information on protein, fiber, fat, and carbs.....

I'm no expert but have done a lot of reading on the subject and the levels are pretty low here for protein and fiber. You should be eating between 50-100 gms of protein a day based on your height and weight. fiber intake should be between 28-31 gms. Don't worry too much if those levels go over. you need a lot of protein to…
