My dairy experiment
I did an experiment with dairy for 10 days. It left me a little sad. I cut out cream, cream cheese, cheese, my homemade yogurt and kefir. I kept butter and my bedtime whey shake. My calories an the days I tracked were the same as usual. My carbs were about the same. I lost a little shy of 5 lbs. I'm a slow looser in…

Now I remember why this is awesome!
Years back stayed low carb about 4 years except planned off meals. I lost 80 lbs fast and pain free. I could eat to my hearts content as long as it was low carb. I got derailed big time by a tragic event where I just didn't give a crap for a long time. I have been off and on so many times the last 10 years since that event…

Recommiting
I have been really not doing CTL since we came back from vacation. I find eating every 3 hours to be a bit of a pain. However that bit of a pain was working very well! So I will be starting back on the schedule today. For me today is free day. I'm still waiting for my gluten test to come back but will be subbing other…

Weight training makes me feel 100 years

I usually feel fantastic without an ache or pain at almost 43 like most people. However since weight training I feel slightly sore 24/7.Doing weight work 3 x a week. I'd I know muscle will serve me…

Question on shakes
I only work 2-3 days a week but do not get any scheduled breaks unless I actually have a break in my appointments. I am usually pretty booked up since I am only there a few days a week. A lot of times I do not have more than 2-3 minutes to quick bolt some food down. Is there any reason at all I can't just make appropriate…

Ist week ( kind of) in the books.
My first week is done kind of with a 3 pound loss. i say kind of because I started mid week and still took the fun-day on Saturday even though I only had a few days in. I am really enjoying the plan so far even if some things have confused me a bit. i haven't gotten too much into the exercise as much as Chris suggests but…

Milk is a carb right?
In the book it said milk was out but on the list linked to his site I see it is now a carb. I'm thinking one of my shakes on the high carb day could be pretty easy with just whey and skim milk. I hope I am correct!

popcorn?
I could have swore I saw popcorn in the food list but can find nothing in the book as far as a portion size. Does anyone have any idea?

Newbie :) HI!
Hi everyone! I am beginning paleo tomorrow and just wanted to say hi! I have a good 80 lbs to lose. I have had my hubby hide the scale so I cant weigh daily. I think weighing daily is the dumbest thing I do. I am the queen of rationalization and decide if it is down I can have a treat. If it is up I might as well have a…

Any other low or lower carb'ers here?
I'd sure love some buddies that do one of the lower carb plans. I have diabetes and pcos so watching carbs is a must. If any of you are out there I'd love to be added as a friend :)
