How long did it take you to become 'fat adapted'?
I was able to curb hunger the first two weeks, and then my sugar / carb cravings were ridiculously intense for days! I was starving all day long no matter what I ate! I finally gave in a few days ago and immediately felt better after eating some carbs. That of course led to two days of completely falling off the wagon! My…

New to Primal and muscle fatigue....
Hi All! My husband and I started the Primal Blueprint 21 Day Transformation on August 27th and we are both sold on this as a way of life!

Day 1 Cold Turkey...OMG!!

Have spent weeks reading about quitting, telling myself how horrible it is, trying to focus on how disgusting every puff is, etc. I had my last cigarette last night, and wasn't too bad this morning, but OMG this afternoon has been a struggle!!

How do you offset an indulgent weekend?
I was away this weekend and went a little overboard....:) What do you do when you have weekends like this? Do you just continue with what you normally do? Or do you try to balance the overages out across the week by not eating back exercise calories, etc.?

For those who have lost the last 10-20 lbs...
I have been struggling to lose 10-15 lbs for what seems like forever!! I'm 5'5" and have a goal weight of 130 lbs. I'm very active and do bootcamp 3-5 days per week in addition to running 4-6 days per week. What I can't seem to do is hit that 'sweet spot' for daily net calories to get the last 10lbs of fat off. I've eaten…

Whole Body Vibration (WBV) machines?

But I'm curious to hear if anyone else uses them, and what have you found it does for you? Also, how often do you use them, and…
