Help with vertigo?
I woke up this morning around 6 and rolled over in bed, and suddenly felt like I was falling. It didn't go away, so I just went back to sleep and figured I'd feel better when I got up later. But I don't. I've been having to walk with one hand against the wall, and I almost pitched forward into my bathroom cabinets when I…

Hi there -- again. :)
Hi all! I used to be a relatively active member of MFP. But then I got busy, and decided that I was spending too much time on the forums. And then I decided that I was spending too much time logging my food. So I stopped all of that, and it went all right for a while. Then I fell back into my old habits of stress eating…

NOOOOOOOO!
I bought my husband a PS3 way back in the dark ages when they still were backwards compatible with PS2 discs. I bought it SPECIFICALLY because of that. So we've had it a while. What, like 5 years? It's been our movie player, since we don't have a separate DVD/blu-ray player. So it gets used pretty hard. Last night we were…

Oh crap, I am losing my mind
To recap my saga, I started on paleo for a while, then fell off the wagon because "just one cracker" turned into "NOMGRAINSSSSS!" So I've been trying to get back on it, and I finally changed my c/f/p ratios to reflect a higher-fat diet. My carbs were already low, but I lowered them a little further. I've done well with the…

Spaghetti squash
I bought a spaghetti squash last night. And an acorn squash. And now I don't know what to do with them. I kind of don't want to use spaghetti sauce, because I have a feeling it's not really going to taste like spaghetti, so I'd rather try a different sauce or something so it's not like "Oh, yeah, this is an ok substitute…

Paleo and kids?
I know there's the Paleo Kids blog and the "Eat Like a Dinosaur" book and all that, so I know it's not a difficult thing for a parent to move their kids toward a paleo diet. I'm just wondering, who here has done it? Any tips? My son (4 years) has chronic allergies and some behavioral problems, and we've already seen a vast…

Recommitting
I had been doing pretty well with being at least 80% paleo. I'd have my coffee with cream and sugar, and occasionally have some bread or corn, but it was once in a while instead of a regular thing. But over the last few weeks I've kind of thrown it all out the window. The whole reason I became interested in paleo is…

It's not my birthday yet
but because I've been having an incredibly stressful couple of days, my husband gave me one of my birthday presents early. [img]You know you're jealous.EDIT: Oh frack, I forgot how to put an image on this site. Dang it. Or I didn't forget, but for some reason it's not working. This is it:…

Gardeners -- how do I tell if my peppers are ripe?
I'm really hoping someone here can help me out. I bought a pinot noir pepper plant a few weeks ago, and it had a little pepper already growing on it. I've never seen a purple pepper before, which is why I bought it. And I can't find any information on how to tell when to pick it. The plant is small, so it's my…

Ham?
From a paleo standpoint, is there anything "wrong" with ham?

I'm SO far from perfect...
... but the changes I have made have already made a big difference. I've been avoiding grains for... uh, a few weeks now. I can't remember. I've completely stopped eating toast, which used to be a daily thing with my breakfast. I've slipped up maybe twice at home since I started, once with pizza and again with a hamburger…

Coconut milk
So, I'm fairly certain that my grocery store does not carry coconut milk. But I'll be headed to the next town over in a week or two and they have a couple of larger chain stores, so I thought I'd look for it there. Where is it in the grocery store? Is it with the canned milks? The refrigerated section? Canned goods?…

I am so effed...
So my family and I just spent 9 days visiting family out of state. I was in charge of the packing of things, because I am controlling like that. I packed all the things. Including my husband's 3DS case. With all his 3DS games in it. And his 4th gen iPod Touch. And, of course, the 3DS itself. I put it in the trunk before we…

What do you do on road trips?
I'm leaving this afternoon, so it's a little late to be planning to eat paleo for the whole drive, but I was just thinking: what do you all do on road trips? Every summer we take at least one long trip to visit family. It's a 2-day drive to my family, then we cross the state to visit his family, and then we dead-head one…

New to paleo
Hey everyone! I've been toying with the idea of making the move toward paleo for quite a while, but my chiropractor last week convinced me to take the plunge. He believes it will help with several of the health issues I've been experiencing for the last decade or so. But I don't know anybody who eats this way (other than…

Stupid question: potatoes?
Is there anything "wrong" with potatoes from a primal/paleo standpoint? I ask because I don't have the book, and I'm learning that some things I thought were paleo actually aren't, like peanuts and corn. (I forgot that corn was a grain, since it's marketed as a veggie.) So since the rest of the world seems to think…

Paleo and inflammation
** side note: I wish the "leave group" button didn't look exactly the same as the "new topic" button. I dont' have my glasses on right now! The reason I decided to take the paleo plunge was to decrease inflammation in my body. Now I just started 2 days ago, so I don't expect perfection just yet, but I was wondering about…

Sausage
I've been wondering, is sausage technically considered paleo? Because obviously it's meat, but it's not exactly in its natural form. What are your thoughts?

New account, old me (ajbeans)
So I left MFP because I had too much going on, and I couldn't seem to stay away from the forums. I've been doing pretty awesome on the food front, and haven't had to get bigger pants or anything, but I've fallen off the exercise wagon hard. Like, I'm pretty sure I haven't worked out since the week before I cancelled my old…
