Eat to Perform
I know several of you follow ETP. I have been reading about it and even have gotten a copy of Metabolic Flexiblity. I have been really impressed on what increased protein has done to my appetite/sugar cravings. Have any of you paid the $80.00 and joined forums/science lab? Is it worth it? What do you feel it has added?…

Lifting shoes
I am in the market to buy some lifting shoes. And to be honest I know zero about them. Are they like runners and I need to buy them bigger than my dress shoes? Any suggestions on brand? I have noticed that their are a wide range of prices, are the more expensive ones worth it or I am I paying for a name?

Box Command

Whole life challenge January 2015
Is anyone doing WLC that starts January 17, 2015? I would love to get a MFP group together for a more social and supportive endeavour.

Recommiting
Ok I'm recommitting. I am prepping today and starting tomorrow (but I still am keeping it as grain and sugar free as possible). I feel amazing on paleo but cannot keep it together. Any suggestions on keeping it together? I think my biggest problem is I'm very all or nothing (and I'm very addicted to sugar.)

Paleo and Carbs
I found this very interesting. I think what helped derail my paleo efforts last year was I was attempting VLC and was miserable with it. Everyone is different is what I took away from it. http://chriskresser.com/7-things-everyone-should-know-about-low-carb-diets

Other gyms
Just out of curiosity, how many of you have another gym membership on top of crossfit? Do any of you do any other lifting programs other than crossfit (strong lifts or NROL4L)? I've kicking around getting a regular gym membership so I can work out on my lunch too.

Long term maintenance
"Obesity is difficult to treat and has a high relapse rate. Greater than 95% of those who lose weight regain the weight within five years" (Quote from http://www.medicinenet.com/obesity_weight_loss/article.htm) But I have heard this statistic over and over again from many sources. My question is for those of you who have…

Vitamin D
My vitamin D is always low. I have been on prescription mega supplements. They help but it is still not optimal. Any suggestions? Can anyone recommend a godo supplement?

How often do you stray?
I know the best way to eat paleo is shoot for 100% of the time and likely you will end up eating it 80% of the time! My question is how often do you stray from paleo. What do you consider a stray (I hate the word cheat :laugh:) ? Just curious. I have often what the paleo replacement items (ie treats, replacement for SAD…

callouses
I find I get blisters under my callouses, then thet rip open. Is there a way to prevent this? Would it be better use a pumice stone and file them?

Crossfit weight gain
Everyone said don't be surprised if the scale goes up when starting crossfit. Well I'm 6 weeks in and up 9 pounds. I'm getting a little discouraged. How much did you gain? Does it ever start going the other direction? I'm feeling quite pissy right now about it.

Another noob question...
Sorry I know I have been asking a lot of questions. I did a month at one box via a Groupon and loved it but wanted more instruction. So I started an onramp program with a different box yesterday and I love the instruction and the encouragement. But the place was packed!!! I mean there was a least 20 people in the crossfit…

Sprouts
Are bean sprouts paleo? I know beans aren't but they are more plant than bean. I'm confused on this one.

How often?
Hello, I'm a newbie. How often do you go to crossfit? I have been going twice a week (mostly because I'm so sore, but that is starting to subside.) I had a groupon and tried the box I'm at, but I am 99% certain I'm going to change to another one. The current one does not have a ramp up program and one instructor is…

Sore...
I started my 3rd week of crossfit on Tuesday. Squat day. I've done squats but never *kitten* to the grass. LOL. My legs are sore but would like to go to crossfit tonight. Should I hold off because I'm sore, or go and do the best I can? I have only been going on Tuesdays and Saturdays because of soreness, but really would…

Does anyone else have this issue?
This may be a TMI post especially for guys. Years ago I was diagnosed with PMDD. Basically severe PMS. I can tell you the day I ovulate, just looking at the scale and my moods. 2 weeks before my period, the scale jumped about 5 pounds and stays until my TOM. And I go have being a happy go lucky positive person but a really…

Football foods
Anyone one have paleo friendly recipes for football foods? College football has started and Saturday afternoons will now be filled with yelling at the TV. I know if I don't have food during the game, my husband will order pizza. My goal is to prevent this. I plan on making wings, as they are very easy to make and paleo (I…

NSV Blood results
Hello all! In 2011, our company announced that if you meet in 3 of 5 health areas you will get a discount on your health insurance. The areas are waist circumference, HDL, tryglyercides, blood pressure and blood sugar. They gave us a year's notice before the first test (last year). In 2011, I would have met 1, possible 2…

Morning Run
I have came to conclusion I do not like to run in the heat (and by heat anything over 75 degrees F). Today was 83 and low humidity and I was dying. I thinking about moving my run from lunch to the morning. I will need to get up at 4:30 to do this :( . So I won't have time to eat and let it sit before my run. So my question…

Macros
I have my macros set at 20% carbs/ 44% fat/ 36% protein. I am wondering if I need to raise my fat a bit as I a struggle. Anyways, I normally will do a bulletproof coffee in the am, and then an avocado in the afternoon. What are some other ideas to add fat?

Intermittent fasting
Can anyone recommend some reading on intermittent fasting? I know very little about it, other than you eat all your calories within a certain time frame and it is supposed to burn more fat. I have always been drilled how important breakfast is, so I question it a little (but I realize how much else I have been told has…

Calling all slow runners...
In training, I run a 13:30/mile. My last race, a 10k, my average was a 13:09. I want to sign up for a half on October 6, but there is a 15/mile minimum. I'm scared with that distance I will not be fast enough to complete it in the expected time. Has any other slow runners/joggers, completed a half? If so would you…

carb flu?
Did anyone get a sore throat with the carb flu? I am run down and tired today, with a scratchy throat. I hoping it's carb flu not a cold/flu.

Help...
I was paleo from November to beginning of March, and I have never felt better. In the beginning of March, I experienced health problems with both my parents (at one point they were both in a the hospital at once) and I fell off paleo. Things have calmed down enough that I really need to get back at it. However, I am having…

Bbq sauce
Can anyone recommend a recipe for a bbq sauce? I LOVE sweet baby rays bbq sauce but it is far from paleo. Any suggestions?

Evidently now obesity is caused by bacteria in your gut....
http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/27/health/time-obesity/index.html?hpt=hp_bn13 The whole time I was readying this I could not believe it. Never once did the article even think the possible of the overgrowth of the methane producing bacteria was because we are feeding them. The likely grow very well in a high sugar and high…

Butter
Does anyone make their own butter? We have a local creamery that I have always been pleased with (grass fed cows as well.) I have thought of making my own butter. I'm not sure though if it will be cost effective. Kerrigold is 2.99 a bar, the cream is 9.99 (1/2 gallon). How much butter do you get from the cream?

Paleo perdicament?
I wrote this a blog post, but have decided to repost here as well. I'm just wondering, does anyone else have this problem: started my Whole 30 on November 1. After the crappy feelings went away (about 10 days) I felt like superwomen!! I was sleeping better, waking up ready to take on the world, my low level chronic…
