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 often 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…

BioMarkers
I have been eating Primal for one week. I went in for a check up on Monday for bloodwork. I am going to go back in 6th months to see if there are any changes after eating primal for that amount of time. Here are my results: Height/Weight: 5'4" 163lbs Blood Pressure: 110/70 Pulse: 81 Total Cholesterol: 194 LDL: 122 HDL: 49…

What to do instead of rice
I'm making chicken curry and do not want to eat it over rice obviously. I don't mind just eating it out of a bowl like a stew but I was trying to think of something to go with it.... not really to pour the curry over like rice, but like a side dish or something. Any suggestions?

May I See Your Diary?
If you feel you are one who maintains a healthy, consistantly paleo/primal diet, would you mind sharing your diary with me? I know we talk about food a lot, and I know what it means to be paleo/primal, but I want to see what people are eating on a daily basis. Thanks!!!

Alcoholic Drinks with No/Low Sugar
Okay, I'm going to a party tonight and most likely will get a little drunk. I know a lot of people advice is "well, if you don't want the calories, just don't drink"..... Well, let's stick to the point here and just answer the question: What are some alcoholic beverages that are low carb and low in sugar? I know alcohol by…

Alomnd Milk
I have never tried almond milk but I've seen people talking about it on here a lot. I am curious to try it because I don't want to cut out dairy completely, but finding healthy primal/paleo alternatives would be helpful. What brands tastes the best? Is there any other type of alternative dairy I should try? I won't do soy.…

True Story
A friend of mine was telling me about the time she decided to go get her belly button pierced. Her boyfriend's mother (read: moron) made it very clear that she disapproved. She told her son something like this: "Do not let her get her belly button pierced!!! It will mess up her umbilical cord!!!" :laugh: Just thought I…

I am loving these headaches!
I fell off the wagon guys! I went back to eating fries, bread, pasta, and the like. I gained every pound that I lost from eating primal back... at least I didn't gain more than I was before. Anyway, I'm finishing up day two of getting back on the wagon. Tonight I am having a headache and it's the same type of feeling that…

What did you....
...eat today that you shouldn't have? I just ate three chocolate covered shortbread cookies with sprinkles. I was only going to eat one, but the chocolate was a little melted and they were stuck together. So, I HAD to eat all three. Yeah, I HAD to!!! It's okay to have treat as long as you keep it in control. What did you…

Oils - Help!
What oils are the best for a paleo diet? I have read to stay away from vegetable, peanut, canola, etc. I see people talking about using coconut oil, but I read it was bad too. I'm confused. I also read that EVO was good but not to cook with it. Does anyone know of a reference website where I can read about this and…

Just need to rant...
I am so frustrated with the arguments that result the minute someone on the “regular” forum mentions eating low carb. People seem to get angry anytime someone posts a question regarding reducing the number of carbs one eats. I have decided to stop adding my two cents. All I do is explain my circumstances and my experiences…

Venison
My buddy at work hunts and I asked him for some meat. He brought me some deer cube steaks and hamburger meat. I am so excited because I feel like that it about as paleo as you can get! Straight out of the wild with no hormones and no force fed diet of something that is un-natural for them. What do you guys think about…

Carbs/Fat/Protein
I'm sure this has already been discussed somewhere.... Sorry. What percentages of my daily intake should be carbs/fat/protein? How do you guys have this set up? I know right now I am shooting for 50-60g of carbs per day.... I am not sure what my fat and protein should be. Thanks!!

What do I do with Almond Butter?
I have never tried almond butter before but have wanted to since starting primal a couple of weeks ago. I found these little packets in Kroger that are like single serving samples. I decided that would be the best thing to buy in case I hate it (although that's not likely... I like just about everything). What do I do with…

My Bacon is Way Too......
SALTY!!!!!!!!!!! I bought some bacon at a local farmers market. I cooked a few pieces today and it is soooooooo salty that I almost can't stand to eat it. I can barely taste bacon at all. All I taste is SALT! I can even see the salt on it after it's cooked. I realize that bacon should be a little salty, but this is…

Ugh.....
It really irritates me when I read on the web, or on MFP, or hear people talk about how individuals on the Paleo diet are being contradictory or inconsistant by using mdern technology..... WTF? When I told my friends about it, they asked me in a very condensending way if I was going to start wearing animal fur and stop…

Glycemic Index
I never see this as a topic. I would like to know what people's thought are on this. Anything with a high GI will spike your blood suger. Eating things that are low-med will keep your blood sugar levels stable. Stable blood sugar levels enable you to more efficiently use the fuel you have put into your body and you will…

Carb Withdrawal
Hey guys.... not much activity on the Paleo Group forum is there? I am new to Paleo. I have always believed the premise of the diet but never felt like I needed to try it.... I felt like I could eat healthy without subscribing to any "diet". Then I watched the documentary Fathead. I really enjoyed the film and everything…

Anyone else annoyed by this? Oh, just me??? okay....
I don’t know why I even notice this because it’s so silly, but I just do…. I hate when I’m in a restaurant scanning the menu for something healthy and on certain entrées I see qualifiers such as “Guiltless” or “Fit and Trim”. I don’t know why it irritates me…. I guess because I know how to order a healthy meal without…

Pinterest
Okay, so I’ve always liked cooking, but never really did it much for lack of ideas and motivation. But ever since I have been on Pinterest, I have been a cook-a-holic!!! It’s great to have all the people I follow on Pinterest pin images of healthy, terrific looking dishes that I can repin to my board and refer back to…

Because of my normal work attire, I don't usually wear a belt. Today I was able to wear jeans to work and I put on my favorite belt and guess what..... Down one notch!!! I has to use a different hole!!! It might seem weird, but all morning I have been reaching down and feeling the lump that was formed from where the buckle…
