We just need to be flexible
This is what my best friend said to me last night at a potluck gathering of my closest girlfriends. We were cleaning up dinner and I was remarking at how wonderful the food had been and how great it was that we were figuring out how to do this "paleo-vegan thing. One of the girls is strict vegan, the others are pescatarian…

Pork Belly!!
We all love it, in fact most of us crave it! The best thing about our lifestyle is that it's totally ok to eat it! So, how do you prepare it?

Logging Food and How it Happens
I like to log my food in the AM, over breakfast (I know I shouldn't divide my eating time with anything else but I do) and I log my projected food for the day at that time. That way I can see how my macros are lining up and adjust as needed. If plans change through the day then I will correct the log, making sure I am…

Re-introduction with WAPF foods
I am doing my second Whole30 in the beginning of January.

Keto-ish question

Does it get easier
I have noticed a few of my (MFP) friends having some "tired of thinking about this all the time" posts, I am feeling the same way. At my mom's house today she said to me "Let's not talk about food". I didn't realize until then that all I do is food and exercise and food and food and exercise. Does it get to a point where…
