back on the primal path
I'm back on the Primal path after straying too far for too long. This is the only thing that really works well for me to lose and maintain my weight especially as someone with Celiac disease. Back in Dec I started a new job that was really stressful and between stress eating and not exercising, I gained quite a bit of…

The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food
Makes my skin crawl: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/24/magazine/the-extraordinary-science-of-junk-food.html?pagewanted=all&_r=1& I think my favorite lines were in regards to Lunchables: the most healthy item is the napkin; and in regards to marketing Coke to the slums in Brazil: "These people need a lot of things, but they…

Liver for Beginners
My quarter cow share came with a few pieces of liver and truth be told, I'm totally intimidated by them. I don't think I really have ever had beef liver.

Down 10!

I feel...
really really good today. Healthy and very energetic (despite going to bed later than usual last night.) I didn't necessarily think I felt unwell or unhealthy before starting this journey aside from some back aches here and there. I don't even need to go to the chiropractor any more. I won't be renewing my payment/visit…

Intermittent Fasting
As I am drinking my morning coffee w/ half and half, I'm tossing around the idea of doing an Intermittent Fast. But I've put something in my stomach. Last week when I did one, I did not drink any coffee....I went from dinner the night before straight to lunch, with a little hot water and lemon in the morning. So basically…

Fish Oil Supplements
Can anyone recommend a fish oil supplement that doesn't, err...repeat on you? My husband is willing to take them to get Omega 3s but is complaining about burping up fishy essence (for lack of a better way of explaining it.)

Hello
Glad to have found this group! I have been interested in Primal for several months (even dabbled in it a bit over summer) but finally seriously embarked on the beginning of this month. My husband has an autoimmune disease and is on the journey with me -- an anti-inflammatory diet is really a must for his condition. As for…
