Crock pot recipes
Does anyone have any good crock pot recipes? I tried to do a search to see if this topic has been up before but the search function searches outside our group and so I got all sorts of 'healthy' recipes that were totally not paleo.

Summer - FAIL
So - this summer I have totally let go. I've been drinking wine like it is going out of style and I have slowly let the grains back in. Last night I even ate pasta! I've decided to do the Whole 30 challenge starting Sept 4th (The day after our final summer long weekend.) I'm just wondering if there is anyone else…

more protein without more fat
Ok, so since I started my 100 days (I know I'm only on day 3 but this was something I struggled with before but it has just been confirmed by my logging everything) I have found that I am low on carbs (ok with that) low on protein (would like to fix that) and high on fat (OK with that as well except that I'd like to get my…

100 days of primal
So - I have decided to track religiously for 100 days of primal eating. I am tracking measurements and macro's and I've set up an excel chart. I am not necessarily going to be strict primal but will follow the 90% rule. I can't give up my wine :-) I want to see what it looks like over 100 days. Instead of obsessing over…

The Movies.....
So - I'm taking a poll :-) I am taking my son and nephew out to the movies tonight. I know I'll be eating popcorn, how could I not?? So, do I skip dinner and save the calories? Or do I eat a healthy dinner to get my nutrients in and go over in Calories? (I worked extra hard at bootcamp this morning to buy me more as well.…

Probably a dumb question....
So I was looking at a fool label today and it said 15 g carbs, 2 g fibre and 2g sugar. So - If 2g is sugar and 2 Fibre - what is the other 11 g? And - what does it matter (besides the Fibre) because doesn't our body turn it all into glucose anyways for energy?

Coconut flour
Anyone on here experienced in substituting coconut flour for regular flour in a recipe? I just bought some and was excited to use it in my favorite muffin recipe but from looking online I am starting to think it's a far more complicated switch than I thought. Is there anyone who can help me figure out how to alter my…

Weightlifting question
ok so I have a question about weightlifting and I can't find it anywhere in past posts. It is fairly common knowledge that our bodies adjust to our exercise routines if we don't switch it up a bit. Anyone who only ever does the treadmill will eventually see the results slowing down. BUT.... Is this the same for…

I realised something this morning
So, this morning I am dragging my butt out of bed to go work out and thinking about how I am not going to weigh in like usual since we had dinner at the pub last night and it was a zillion calories. I knew that even though I was tired,after my meal last night, I had to get to the gym though. I walk into the gym and am…

Vanity sizing
Did anyone watch the Dr Oz show about Vanity Sizing? I was shocked! A size 12 is from 33 - 38 inch waist. Not only that but back in Marilyn Monroe's time a size 12 was a 28 inch waist! I can't believe how much it has changed.

Insanity
So - I just bought the Insanity workout DVD's. Anyone on here done them? Can you offer any advice? I have family coming to stay for 5 weeks in 2 weeks time. I don't think I'll be able to stick to a strict exercise regime while they are here (it'll be a full house!!) so am I better to continue what I am doing until after…

Asparagus and Pea Salad with Mint
My husband made this recipe last night for dinner. It was amazing! Picture this with a glass of white wine on the patio somewhere. lol, of course we ate it in the dining room with a 4 year old spitting out the parmesan and a 1 year old throwing his food but if I closed my eyes I could pretend!:glasses: The calorie count is…

cocktails
Does anyone have any good low cal, non alcoholic cocktail recipies? I am gearing up for summer and we have a lot of visitors coming. Instead of falling into the drinking beer on the patio, followed with lots of red wine routine we usually do with these guests I'd like an alternative that makes me feel like I am having a…

Food Combining
Anyone using this technique? I have been reading about splitting up your carbs and proteins into different meals. Reminds me a lot of the scarsdale diet I did when I was a lot younger. Although that one also restricted what you could eat. Is anyone doing this? Is it successful? Any tips?
