And food is getting less nutritious because of our monkeying. Although, the fruits and veggies are more visually appealing and do not go bad as quickly.

OMG I tried my first fasted run!!! BEST. RUN. EVER. Thank you for letting me know I wouldn't fall down and die of hunger at mile 2.

Thanks for the responses. Funny thing is our systems were down on Tuesday, so I took lunch earlier and run (before I ate). It was a really "easy" run. I will try a morning fasted run.

Thank you all for the advice. I'll try some of the methods.

That's why you blend it. It's more like a latte. I use one tbsp of EV coconut oil and a tbsp of Kerrygold butter.

What did you do to add more fat?

I would recommend you look into "It Starts With Food." And try the Whole 30. I agree try other poultry. My local butcher sells lamb and rabbit. Have you tried either of them?

Shop the ads. I routinely go to 2 grocery stores, a butcher and a farm (for eggs). Not to mention, stopping at farmers markets and popping into trader joes just to buy coconut oil and butter. Use everything possible, buy a chicken (when it is on sale of course) and roast it for supper. If there is significant meat left,…

Goodness that is tough for such a young age!! I don't have kids, let alone a teenager. But if I were in your situation, I would check out numerous paleo and Gf cookbooks (I recommend Practical Paleo and Paleo comfort foods). One weekend when she seems receptive, invite her to sit down with you and look at the cookbooks…

If you are eating TDEE, you are not eating back exercise calories right? Are you gaining weight? Maybe with the increase exercise from marathon training, you are just hungry. Your body needs more fuel. Just a thought.

I stay away for both, as I am very sugar sensitive. However, if I had to choose go with local raw honey. Agave is very processed and not much better than corn syrup from my understand. I believe if I'm remembering right it spikes your insulin response more than raw sugar does. (Remember spiked insulin = craving/false…

I haven't read it, but can you get it from the library. I get all the books I can from the library 1st then decide to buy it.

This is not many calories and not much fat. I would guess the calories is between 1000 to 1200, at most. I find that if I'm not eating enough going off course is really easy. If I don't get enough fat, going off couase is really easy. Add an avocado in there or a handful of nuts. Good luck.

You are my hero!!!! That is just awesome!

Are you drinking more caffiene in the evenings? I tend to drink more coffee in sugar detox. If so the caffiene, may be causing it. Stop all caffiene at 4 pm. Other than that give is a week, I notice by sleep changes for the better at day 4.

My guess is on paleo, I eat more fiber than I ever have. But then again I eat more veggies than most vegetarians do. But if you want specifics avocados, black berries and sweet tater skins are rich with fiber.

Thank you all for your words of encouragement!! I will be signing up this Thursday (payday)!!! I am very scared but mostly because this is pushing me out of my comfort zone (a good thing.)

On a side note, you can soak your nail directly in gelatin and get many of the same benefits from it .

When I figured out I could cook most things in the same amount of time it takes to get carry out or have something delivered. That helped me a lot. Also the more productive you are it does help your depression. I recommend a George foreman type grill (preferable one with removable plates to put in the dish washer.) Throw…

Thanks I will look into it!

^^ This. I only mention paleo if people are receptive to it first. If going out with friends/co-workers, I state I'm a picky eater can I know what the restaurant is ahead of time. And if someone questions my eating I state "I have found I feel best when eating veggies and meats, and worse when I eat grains and sugar."…

Thank you for posting this link: http://www.bulletproofexec.com/the-complete-illustrated-one-page-bulletproof-diet/ I find it interesting xylitol is on the eat end. I do not know much about it, any thoughts?

Thank you!

I am on Day 7 as well. Getting to the sweet spot were I love it!

How do you know when mayo goes bad? I always throw it out after a week (figuring a raw egg). If it last longer that is a huge win.

I forgot the thing that turns the egg into mayo, the acid source. Add 1 T of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice with the 1/4 cup of olive oil.

Here are the ingredients: SOYBEAN OIL, WATER, WHOLE EGGS AND EGG YOLKS, VINEGAR, SALT, SUGAR, LEMON JUICE, CALCIUM DISODIUM EDTA (USED TO PROTECT QUALITY), NATURAL FLAVORS. GLUTEN-FREE. Is it paleo? no Soybean oil is not paleo. But only YOU decide how paleo you want to be. If it makes you happy, so be it. PS Homemade mayo…

Poop

Ground chicken flavored like sausage. I cook all of them up on Sunday and microwave them for 1.5 minutes in the am with a side berries.
