Welcome!

Remember, Primal isn't all about the food. I'm sure you'll have plenty of other primal-esque things to do in Bali :)

Welcome Jane!

Best of luck with your journey, and be sure to enjoy as much BBQ as your heart desires! Just avoid the HFCS ;)

Hi Bradley and welcome!

Living in the Sunshine State, you shouldn't have too much difficulty finding primal things to do!

Best of luck with the journey ahead!

I'd focus less on all the numbers, and more on a holistic approach (if that's possible).

Eat whole foods - anything made by man is off limits.

Move a lot. And lift some heavy weights two to...

Hi Leigh,

Welcome. In terms of morning routine, I have a couple resources that may help you out:

The first is an article I wrote a bit back: Why I Love My Morning Routine (And How You Can Too)...

It's been around 4 for me - and I'm loving every minute of it (health-wise)!

What about others? How long have you known about the Primal way of life?

I'm dealing with a similar issue right now - although it doesn't involve weight loss, it definitely involves motivation for certain goals (business and career related).

My advice is to do a couple...

I'd consider hiking to be moderate intensity with a longer duration (if going up and down hills).

If you really enjoy hiking, continue to do it.

Hi Timbobaggins,

What's your gender?

This will give me a better idea for recommendations.

Check out Rippetoe's Starting Strength. Just do it.

It will transform your body, without question.

Here's what to do:

As Peril said above, be sure to get in lots of low-impact exercise: walking, kayaking, biking, etc. At least 3-4 hours per week. I know that seems counterintuitive for your body...

If you like to write, try odesk.com for freelance work. You can work about 10 hours a week, and make around $100 (if you write quickly and efficiently).

Other options include elance.com,...

Hell yeah!

I'm loving all these powerful (and detailed) responses.

Let's keep 'em coming!

@FrankofDenmark: Just ride the wave, my friend. Sorry to hear about your recent job loss, but with...

Hi all,

I'm trying to amass a comprehensive list of benefits that Primal/Paleo followers have received from implementing this nutritional lifestyle. I'm primarily looking for the benefits you've...

Hi all,

I posted awhile back about travel and wellness, and received a few requests from those who are gluten intolerant on how to handle this issue while on the road.

I recently wrote an...

Bodyweight workouts do a better job, if done correctly, of completely engaging every muscle of your body - most importantly your core.

Bodyweight workouts are also very flexible, and can provide...

Hi RichyF,

This post about Backpacking Nutrition may provide some helpful insights.

All of the advice is excellent: dig through google, find multiple reputable sources, and use your brain to think through things.

Another important note, however, is what to AVOID when educating...

Definitely fits within the realm of 80/20. It's not primal or ideal by any means, but certainly not awful for your body either. As long as you're eating it in good conscious, it should be okay.

Your best bet may be to start your own business. Move to a more liberal/progressive part of the country where the demand is higher for such a business, and try out a holistic nutrition/fitness/stress...

I couldn't agree more. Going all out on fat/protein as a breakfast is an excellent way to start the day.

I try to balance it with a carb heavy/protein dinner, with a balance between the two for...

I have not. Could you post a link?

Hi all,

Lately I've been thinking quite a bit about the most effective way to get the word about Primal/Paleo/True Healthy Living out to the societal masses.

The first question is if spreading...

Maaaaaaybe after a fasted workout, but sheesh, that's a ton of food!

My understanding is that anti-inflammatory foods reduce chronic inflammation, but have no effect on acute inflammation.

Just eat whole foods, move a lot, and be happy. That should do it
