Whole30 Support
Anyone want to support me while I do a whole30 or want to do a Whole30 yourself? I made a group on MFP. Just go to Groups>Search for Whole30 and mine is called "Whole30- April/May" I hope I can get a few members so we can motivate each other by posting your progress or meals on the group page!!

Bone Broth- Calcium Rich or NOT?
I have been eating paleo since July 2013. Today I tried to research how much calcium is in bone broth. ANY homemade bone broth. And you know what I found out? That there is just about ZERO research that says that bone broth is a good source of calcium. I pretty much found out that it could be as little as 1% of the…

My Blood Test Results over the Years
What do you guys think? Improvement since starting paleo in July 2013? I think so, for maybe a couple of the items! I am going to try to add some lupus or autoimmune tests to this list. Anyone have any suggestions to which are good autoimmune tests to add? I'm overwhelmed with medical records and I'd like to put it in this…

Paleo Moms
I had a baby 15 months ago. She is a little darling. However, she's had a bunch of health issues. Most of them I do not believe can be associated with my diet or her diet (such as her congenital heart defect- a medium sized ASD and the PDA that she was born with and had to have corrective surgery for at 2 months old). She…

Who will start a whole 30 with me?
My name is Amy and I'm looking for some friends/support as I try a Whole 30! Whole 30 is a 30-day kick-start to better overall health. It stresses eating lean meats and lots of vegetables. It's not low-carb, but can be for some people that want that sort of diet. The program does not allow dairy, grains, legumes, or any…

Is it possible to do Paleo without high-protein consumption?
I did some research today about high-protein diets. I have been doing paleo off and on since August, and am doing a serious Whole 30 right now. My research, at first, was relieving. What I read said that if your kidney is normal, and you eat mostly lean meats, high-protein is fine. One person that was quoted basically said…

December WHOLE 30! :)
I'm doing a December Whole30. I started Dec. 5th. I can't wait to see the results- I am extremely motivated! I went to walmart to day and got some green tea to enjoy instead of snacking! I also got Frank's red hot sauce to put on my eggs. mmm. I'm planning on eating lots of eggs for breakfast, lots of veggie/meat soups &…

Daily Loggers- I need MFP Friends for support!
I am 26, I have 1 baby girl, and 35 pounds left to lose (I started with a total of 75 lb). I am in a rut at the halfway point, but I am doing my best to pull through and get to the finish line! Before my mid-twenties, I had no focus, no drive, and no motivation. Then I found "IT"- that spark of desperation to be healthy…

I'm in the beginning stages of SLE
I know this is going to sound so stupid because I don't have bad lupus or anything, but this is my story, and I still want to be part of this community. I was diagnosed as having lupus in 2011 when I was 24. I was having a bad recurring rash since the end of 2008 (I was 21) and I though my life would forever be ruined…

Tricks to Make Vegetables Yummy
I like meat, fruit, and grains. I hate vegetables and other foods I need to add to my diet to eat healthier and get the nutrition my body needs. I would like to be able to eat nuts, seeds, avacados, spinach, broccoli, squash, and sweet potatoes just name a few. When I eat these, I am horribly disgusted by the textures and…

Who has experience with Whole30 or Paleo diet?
I'm interested in starting this tomorrow because I have read so much information online about how grains are harmful to the body because they contain gluten, lectins, and phytates. However, after doing even more reading, there's arguments saying that those harmful things are only harmful for people with celiac disease or…

Starting August 1st.
Anyone else starting this in August? Looking for mfp friends that will motivate me through this lifestyle change. My husband is going to continue to eat grains so they will still be in the house (eek!). As long as I keep sweets out of the house, I think I can do it.

Looking for serious MFP friends in their 20s or 30s
Hi, my name is Amy. I am 26 years old, 5'5" and around 190 lbs and I'm trying to get down to 135-145. My goal is to do this by the end of 2013.
