Salt, Supplements, Nutritional Density
Hello Paleo folks, Just curious what y'all do for Salt. I've been using plain old sea salt, but I was thinking maybe next time I have extra money I might want to spring for some fancier stuff, assuming it provides good flavor and added nutrients. I was wondering you had recommendations? Also I am start thinking about…

Hiding the scale?
Hey Paleo Pals, I'm going to try not compulsively weighing myself everyday! From now on I'm weighing myself on the first of every month. Anyone want to join me? I'm trying to remember this is a slow and steady journey towards health, not a quick fix fad diet. I've started cutting gluten and most grains and reduced a lot of…

Primal/Paleo/Real Foods
Hey EM2WL folks! I was here many moons ago and I took a break because counting calories was starting to become bad for my mental health. But now I'm back, feeling positive, and looking to make a slow and steady change towards better health! In my readings I'm fairly taken with the paleo/primal/whole real foods approach and…

Anyone here work in the Social Services Field?
Hey folks, I'm a social worker in brooklyn. I'm curious to see if there are any others here in the "helping professions." So often we are caring for others that it can be easy to lose track of ourselves! I know for me the stress of my new job has really taken a toll on my physical and emotional well-being, which is why I'm…

After a Whole 30
Hey pals! So for those of you who've done a Whole30, and followed the no logging calories rule, did you then begin logging again afterwards? Part of me wants to stay accountable and motivated through logging, another part of me loves the freedom of not counting a bunch of numbers which may or may not mean anything.…

bland calming paleo foods?
This is maybe odd, but I'm currently under a lot of stress and have lost my appetite. When I do eat, I stress eat a bunch of carbs--bagels and other horrible things. Don't worry I'm putting an end to it. But I'm wondering when you are stressed if there are ready to eat, healthful go-to foods. My thought is soup or…

Deadlifts, dumbbells, back probs?
Hey y'all! Started about 3 weeks ago and need some advice! My gym if you would believe seems to be lacking a barbell, so I've just been using dumbbells for the deadlifts. 1. Is that ok? Should I be doing something differently then what the book outlines? 2. I've been getting some sore back feelings, I believe from the…

1 month!
Hey everyone! A month ago I posted about how I have no willpower and need help! You guys gave me the encouragement to just do it. And I did! Unfortunately, I wouldn't say I'm anywhere close to perfect, but bit by bit I've been trying to follow the recommendations in the Primal Blueprint. I'd like to think I'm following the…

deli meats?
Hey everyone, Thanks again for the support before, I still haven't gone 100% or anything. But I'm feeling really motivated to make better choices one meal at a time. Today I had some meat wraps with cheese and stuff inside, instead of using a wrap which I feel good about. But I was using honey maple turkey from boars head…

How did you start? Finding will power to take the plunge?
Hey there, For the past 6 months, I've been sort of flirting with some primal recipes, reading the books, bringing down my carb %, and paying attention to added sugars way more than I used to. But at the end of the day I'm still not really primal at all. I might have a week here or there where I successfully have eggs and…

Has anyone here read the book Good Calories Bad Calories? I've been reading a lot about low carb stuff and thinking it might be the way to go for me personally given my family history of diabetes. Anyone have any successes from it? Any thoughts about it? Also tips for new low carbers would be great, I'm really struggling…

Paleo and Vegetarian
Hey Y'all, I'm a lacto-ovo vegetarian of 4ish years. In general I think it's been a great move for my health because I stopped eating chicken fingers and cheeseburgers and learned to like my vegetables. I did it mainly for environmental reasons, although along the way I've swallowed a lot of the "vegetarian/vegan diets are…

sodium and fat loss?
Hey All, I was under the impression that sodium only affects your water weight, and does not impact fat loss. Do you guys believe otherwise? Or is the reason to focus on sodium related to heart health and unrelated to weight loss? Thanks!
