Hello gentle grokkers,

well I started a new job and got back into the school semester - which is why I haven't been here. Been skipping breakfast (due to time and snow and cold and dark in the...

Hello gentle grokkers,

Crazy Friday: Brekkie: rest of the sugar cake, coffee/cream/honey
Zumba Zumba!
Lunch: 3 leftover turkey nuggets (that were awesome lukewarm), peapods dipped in cold-press...

Hello gentle grokkers,

I have two fit friends who eat all the time (fairly healthy, even by primal standards) but who don't at all get enough fat in their diets. Boy are they grumpy when meal...

Hello gentle grokkers,

Brekkie : half a smoothie w/banana, kiwi, berries, and yogurt. Too tart for my taste!
Lunch: zucchini spaghetti with pepperoni, cheese ball, leftover apple from yesterday,...

Hello gentle grokkers,

Well, yesterday was bad. Ended up at a Chinese buffet. :confused:
Took a nap then had yogurt banana for dinner. Gained 5 lbs of bloat. I looked ridiculous!

Back on the...

Hello gentle grokkers,

It's Sunday and I'm making myself meals for the next week so we don't have a repeat of the disaster of last week.

Brekkie: coffee/cream/maple syrup
Lunch: Salmon w/cumin...

Oh gentle grokkers,

I have been a very bad girl these last 3 days. I'm having trouble getting into the swing of working regular hours. As a consequence I have not cooked, have eaten crap, and...

Hello gentle grokkers,

2 day post here. Yesterday I had 2 cups of coffee w/nasty creamer/sweetener at work. I must be better about that! Lunch was taking myself to a Thai restaurant for a curry...

I second the fizzy water. I weaned myself off juice and pop (and chocolate milk) with carbonated water that had splashes of juice in it.

Might look into kombucha if you're feeling adventurous. ...

Hello gentle grokkers,

This weekend continues to be poor as far as eating goes.

Brekkie: Coffee/Cream/Maple syrup. Leftover Enchilada casserole from last night. Gut is unhappy with me (duh). ...

Try eating 0 carb during the day and moving your 50 carbs to right before bedtime. If you don't feel like eating during the day, don't, or push your eating as much as possible to that last meal so...

I question the idea that "cavemen" would only go for meat in the winter. I suppose it depends on whether they were traveling or holed up in a cave all winter. If they were holed up in a cave I'd...

Hey Happy,

I've also experienced digestive issues with high-fiber veg and no issues with white rice (though other grains hurt me). Though VLC does cause me to lose weight - of course I'm pretty...

Hi phigment!

At least I ONLY post primal-like food!

By carb count last night I was still under 100 so not bad, but man my digestive track is mad at me this morning in a way it's only mad at...

Hello gentle grokkers,

was really tired but slept well last night - influence of the extra carbs? I'm starting to wonder. I tend to wake up twice during the night on days I've been 100% or...

Hey cao,

I am an ease in person. Not very many are here, I think. My main problem with easing in is that it's also easier to ease out! My advice for your update on foods is to keep doing what...

I'm confused. Why do you have to have hot rice in the morning? Rice can cook up in really big batches - you don't have to cook it from scratch every morning.

Do you not have access to a...

Thick, fine, dry curlyish gal here.

A humidifier in your bedroom. Some non-primal products (Redkin smooth down works for me). A "treatment" at the salon. Slick pillowcases (like satin,...

Yum!

Hello gentle grokkers,

Kind of a rough night last night tummy-wise. Am I getting sick?

Brekkie: coffee w/cream and maple syrup.
Lunch: more cheese ball w/sweet red peppers, pepperoni chips,...

I like them diced in a root roast with parsnips, carrots, potato, fennel, onion, etc, etc. Whatever roots you can find.

What I really like, though, is raw turnip used as a dip for guacamole. ...

Store bought spaghetti sauce - can of diced tomatoes, jar of Italian spices.
Store bought curry sauce - can of coconut, jar of curry spice.
Store bought cream dressing - jar of...

Do you make your own? It is possible to get some of the not-nice bacteria in there. However, that's true of any food. Booch just has the ickiness factor since so many home-brew.

I'd say if...

Agree with the likelihood of cauliflower being the culprit - unless neither were cooked thoroughly. I have problems with raw-ish veggies. Hard to mash a slightly cooked cauli though.

Purees...

Yup. HyVee used to carry full fat FAGE. Heard a rumor you can request such things from groceries but I've never done it myself.

I've weaned myself off bedtime snacks... Though I've been known to...
