Pizza Please!!!
May I please have your Primal pizza recipes please? I am dying for some pizza, but uhhhhh...... NO. I am not going to do it. Unless it's primal. I saw recently where someone makes a cheese crust by crisping a pan of cheese in the oven and then adding more cheese, sauce, and toppings. There was another one, where you use a…

Coho or Sockeye?
Which one is "better"?

Yeah, I feel like a total loser....
Okay, WARNING: shameless, plea for attention..... I recently had a relatively severe allergic reaction to Neomycin, which is an antibiotic in topical creams like Neosporin and the like. I had no idea I was allergic to the stuff.... I have used it plenty of times before, but we all know how allergies can suddenly manifest.…

Biomarkers Results
I started eating Primal on May 1st and on May 7th had bloodwork done for a baseline. I went back to the doctor on June 20th for my annual and they took bloodwork again. The results are below: I realize it's only been two months and anything can happen, but seeing results is really motivating! I don't know why the glucose…

Food Inc
Wow. I watched Food Inc for the first time last night. I don't want to eat conventional food ever again.... If youhaven't seen it, you should watch it. It's great inspiration to eat right and buy from your farmers market.

Beef Jerky Help
I'd like to start making my own jerky. I don't even know where to start.....

Homemade Fruit-Roll-Ups
I found this recipe for homemade fruit roll-ups. I would make the ones that don't call for dried fruit so avoid added sugar. http://www.loveumadly.com/2012/04/100-pure-love-for-100-real-fruit-snacks/ These may not be good for everyday snacking because of the sugar content of fruit, but I want to use it as an energy boost…

Why is weight loss like a yo-yo?
No it's not a riddle, (Why is a raven like a writing desk?), It's real..... and very annoying. I weigh myself everyday. I know people say not to do this, but I am a data-queen and like seeing how my body responds to daily situations etc. I don't obsess over it, which is why people say not to weigh everyday..... I just like…

Pigs spend their entire lives in tiny crates.....
I already knew this, but I was just reading this article on CNN: http://eatocracy.cnn.com/2012/06/06/gestation-crates/?hpt=hp_c2 Another good reason to know your farmer and purchase pasture-raised meat!! I am trying very hard to do this, both for my health and the animals, as well as the environment and local farmer!

Certified Organic
I've only started trying to buy organic foods recently, since beginning my Primal journey, I don't know much about this. I plan to mostly purchase locally grown from my local farmers market over Organic food in the super market, so I am not going to obsess over those things. But for things that I don't buy at the farmer's…

Sensitive to Dairy?
How would you know if you are sensitive to dairy? Other than the gastrointestinal stuff, are their other "symptoms"?

Non Scale Victory for my new Primal Lifestyle!
I am a cyclist/triathlete, but I have not been on my bike in about 7 weeks. I've been exerzising, but not cycling. Last night was my first night back at my group ride. Used to, I would crave Coke by the end of my ride. About 3/4 of the way through I would starting thinking about Coke and how good it tastes and how awesome…

Greek Yogurt
I am so glad I discovered Greek Yogurt. I have never been much of a yogurt person, but I love this stuff. I buy the plain and add my own fruit to cut down on sugars. Adding blueberries is amazing!

Non-Scale Victory
I think my engagement ring is getting BIGGER!!!!! Oh crap, I hope it doesn't fall off down a sink drain or anything....

Alcohol
I feel so guilty when I strive to eat healthy all day, and then decide to drink a beer in the evening. Does anyone else feel guilty for this?

Salmon
I normally buy wild Alaskan salmon. Is there anything else I need to pay attention to when purchasing this fish.... or am I good as long as it says "Wild Alaskan"? For example, when it is out of season, I have to buy it frozen (or canned). So is there anything on the package that I should be cautious of?

The fat woman I will never forget.....
This was a response I posted to another topic, but after I wrote it I realized how important it would be to share to others. So here ya' go: A few years ago I went to Florida to watch a friend compete in the Ford Florida Ironman Triathlon (2.4 mi swim, 112 mi bike, full marathon). My friends and I were standing on the…

Ironman
I know everyone is different (different pace/time/fitness, etc.) But it would be awesome if "Ironman" was a choice to log for exercise. How awesome would that be???? "KBGirts completed an Ironman today"....... LOL!!!

Recipes - Keep it Bumped!
I know from time to time someone will post about wanting recipes, but is there any way we can keep it bumped? If everyone would constantly post to it everythime they find a new recipe, we could all easily access it on a regular basis. I found primal friendly one today and can't wait to make it:…

Bacon Grease
I just cooked a ton of bacon tonight for use in this weeks breakfast and other recipes. I have been told to cook with bacon fat, so I poured it into a mason jar. Can I keep this in the fridge so i don't use up my coconut oil as fast? How long does it keep? How do you do this????

Yogurt?
Do you guys eat Greek Yogurt? I have never tried it. I know I need the unflavored kind. What do you think about it and how to you liven it up (add berries)? I may have asked this before so sorry. I still never bought any so I don't remember if I asked or not.

NSV - Today is Donut Day
I wanted to share this NSV, but didn't want to put it in the regular forum for fear of someone telling me not to "deny" myself of something I enjoy. I'm not denying myself.... I'm making a choice. There's a difference. So every Thursday, there's two boxes of crispy cream donuts. One is full of plain and the other is full…

Why do I feel this way?????
I have never been one to get sick a lot. At most, I have one cold a year and even then the symptoms are very mild and the worst of it only lasts a few days. I am always pretty healthy. Right now I am about half way through my 4th week of paleo and over the past week or so I have had what feels like the beginning of a cold,…

Transitional Shoes
I have a pair or VFF and a pair of Asics........... COMPLETELY different ends of the spectrum!! I want to put away the asics, but I am certainly not ready to go cold turkey and use the VFF. Can anyone recommend a good transitional shoe that will help me on my longer runs? I will still use the VFF for shorter runs in grass,…

I'm NOT hungry!!!!!
Wow.... nice problem to have, right??? Yesterday was the end of week two for me eating Paleo and I now start week three. I have lost a few pounds and am feeling pretty good, so I am pretty excited. here's something I am noticing: During the first week to week and a half, I was pretty much hungry all of the time. I guess my…

Stay away from____________!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think it's funny when people say "Stay away from (insert food here)!" For example: "Stay away from refine sugar and processed foods" . While I agree with what's being advised, I find the "stay away from" part funny. To me it sounds kinda like "Stay away from poison ivy"...... I always imagine the food sitting on a table…

Honey
Do you guys use honey as a sweetener? I am curious as to whether or not it is considered primal/paleo. I would only buy it from a reputable, local source instead of from a grocery store. Just wanted some thoughts on this. Thanks!
