You'll want to braise stew meat, even if you are putting in the oven. Sear it off on the stove top, then put it in a roasting pan, dutch oven, or casserole dish with liquid covering it and a lid or aluminum foil on top. I think you'll want to cook it at around 300 degrees, maybe for 2 hours? You'll still be stewing the…

To get enough calories, up your fat content. Lunch yesterday for me: 1/2 an avocado mixed with a can of tuna over salad. Add dressing or vinegar if you like. That is about 400+ calories depending on dressing you may add. Dinner last night: haddock coated in coconut flour and pan fried in some butter. Side of roasted…

The lactose thing you said here is not necessarily true...the lactose content in cheese is very different from milk...

leftovers almost every day! I usually cook 2 or 3 times what I need for dinner so I can have lunch for the week. I also eat leftovers for breakfast most of the time! Currently eating for breakfast: chicken and spaghetti squash with a pumpkin chipotle cream sauce. yum!

coconut milk from the can. Super creamy and great for you!

Eat some yogurt or some other pro-biotic rich food. Your gut bacteria might be a little out of whack with a change in diet. I always go for the food fixes before resorting to store bought remedies.

grass fed, grass finished, and pastured meats are going to be your healthiest choices, but they are expensive

Being gluten free was a great decision for me. I don't have any official diagnosis of a gluten intolerance, but when I eat it I get bloated, have painful joints, and my vision gets bad. I had some gluten 3 weeks ago and I am still paying the price with blurry, painful eyes. I don't find it very difficult most of the time,…

I have the cuisinart brand and I love it. Not sure about Canadian availability. It comes with a few different blades (grate, slice, blend) and has a ton of power. Makes a really good mashed cauliflower!

check out the link below for a list of ingredients and foods that contain gluten http://www.celiac.com/articles/182/1/Unsafe-Gluten-Free-Food-List-Unsafe-Ingredients/Page1.html

1. Butter 2. Grass fed beef 3. Beets 4. Onions 5. Kombucha 6. Sweet Potatoes 7. Eggs 8. Bacon 9. Chicken 10. Heavy Cream

roast them, they taste way better this way

since it already sounds like you would be eating a paleo diet, why not check out that?

paleo allows me to maintain my weight loss almost effortlessly. With no grains, I get no cravings and eating well isn't as much of a struggle.

I eat this way and it is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I feel the best I have ever felt in my life, even compared to other times when I have lost weight and "eaten healthy" by most American standards. Its really easy to resist temptations when you feel this great and I allow myself "cheats" of potatoes, corn…

check out chowstalker, it is a great place for paleo, gluten free, low carb, dairy free, nightshade free, whatever you may need.

looking at your pictures, you look great! I know its hard to ignore those kinds of comments, but just think about the progress you've made and the goal you are working towards and block out the negative.

Do you have kerrygold anywhere near you? Its pasture-fed cattle as far as I know

I've maintained for almost 6 months now eating paleo and it has been pretty effortless. The only effort comes in avoiding gluten. I know that isn't a wicked long time, but its more than many people who lose weight. I'm actually beginning to lose weight again now that I have buckled down my diet a bit more (avoiding dairy…

good for you for bringing this here. People in the forums were so rude!

cheap cuts of meat such as: oxtails, liver, ground meat, other organ meats would be great. Also, up your egg intake if you need a stretch at the end of the month. Also, buy whole chickens and, after you eat all of the meat, make a chicken stock out of the carcass. Find ways to stretch what you have. Otherwise, I always…

I use coconut oil (which gives it a little coconut flavor) and the butter and find this super tasty, but I think some pumpkin pie spice would be awesome, especially this time of year!

are you the paleo police? 80/20 is what most people strive for and full fat dairy is allowed on some variations of the paleo diet since there is not one "paleo" diet. Its an n=1 thing, meaning if it works for you, do it. Also, have you looked at her pictures, a 6 pound weight loss is huge on someone her size. You are rude.

perhaps try cutting out the fruit altogether? It will suck for a while, but the cravings should eventually go away if you get rid of all fructose.

olives, cheese, beef jerky, bacon, sweet potato with butter, things that have lots of fat or protein and lower in carbs.

I love to make "crustless quiche," which is filling and pretty quick. You just prepare it for the week. 12 eggs, whisked a few tablespoons of heavy cream bacon, cooked or mostly cooked (or other breakfast meat of your choice) 2 big handfuls of baby spinach 1 tablespoon of coconut oil any other veggies you may want…

I liked Wheat Belly by Dr. Davis and it is one of the reasons I no longer eat gluten. That and the decreased joint pain, bloating, diarrhea, acne, gas, etc...

You are going to have to up your fat and/or intake in order to lower your carb intake and maintain your calorie intake. Try getting almost all of your carbs from veggie and fruit sources, dairy is also higher in carbs than one would expect. I used to have problems with blood sugar and would get shaky, light-headed, and…

Instead of the carb (and most likely sugar heavy) breakfast, which will just cause you to be hungry in a few hours, try a protein and (healthy) fat heavy breakfast, like eggs, bacon, sausage, beans, etc. Can you try bringing something really small like a cheese stick or a baggie of nuts? Do they have any veggies for your…

grassfed beef, any cut... and bacon, of course
